Best headphones for college students - Recommended by Seniors
Who better to ask about campus rules than Seniors? They know the do’s and the don’ts of the college. We asked a few of the more musically inclined to help y’all out.
Seniors know what’s up. They can tell you which professors are chill and what to do about the ones that aren’t. Seniors have been through lectures and back. They survived unscathed. Well, that’s not true but they know what we mean. You, on the other hand are looking for headphones and a little insight on what to expect can only help.
Earphones are sacred to college students. This is a time when they truly get to experience music like never in their lives, simply because it helps them pass the time when nothing’s up. There are those who watch TV/Web series on their phones and then there are those who use it for gaming. Anything to keep them from the boredom of attending lectures. We brought in some Seniors to share their experiences and recommendations.
SHOP NOW : JBL Live 200BT Neckband
“Let me tell you, if you’re thinking of getting on-ear headphones then get the wired kind. They’re the best to use during long travel times, especially on the train or bus. Why wired, you ask? There’s that chance of fully wireless earphones being snatched away and robbed on public transport. I’ve personally used JBL Live 200bt and they’re awesome.” - Nilay Chauhan, BSC(IT)
SHOP NOW : Itek BTHP001 Headphone
“I’ve used so many Bluetooth headsets by now, I’ve lost count. But the one that stands out is the one I bought for gaming on my phone. Was a huge fan of Dirt 4 and Gran Tourismo Sport, before PubG of course. I used Itek BTHP001, and girl was I impressed! Oh the bass is perfect.” - Akshata Shankar, BCom
SHOP NOW : boAt FreesoulZ 511 Earphone
“Lectures are a wondrous place. You’re learning whether they teach you what you want or not. For me, the profs weren’t worth it. So I zoned out, and zoned in to my music. I’d record my own sets by night and listen to them during lectures, notebook in hand. It paid off, and we won every band event during my second year fest season. I needed something sneaky, something that could be hidden under my afro. I went for Bluetooth wireless BoAt Freesoulz.” - Omkar Yederi, BCSE
SHOP NOW : JBL T500 BT Headphone
“My college has a gym, and I wanted to do something productive while my friends attended our lectures. Chickens. Anyway, lectures were hours long and I rarely had anyone to talk to. I wanted snug headphones that won’t whip off my head while I worked out, and my favorite is JBL T500BT.” - Aniketh Lamba, BMS
SHOP NOW : AKG Y50 Headphone
“I got a damn good deal on the AKG Y50 at Vijay Sales, and ooh baby are these good! I bought the red one and matched it to a shade of Inglot lip color. A cute red, knee-length skirt - cause college rules - and a white turtleneck from forever21. I bought an outfit to match my on-ear headphones, they’re that good!” - Crystal Drego, BMM
We do not recommend bunking lectures. But hey, you do you and be awesome at it!
