I know you folks were curious to know about my opinion about the new Apple Airpods Max which is priced insanely at Rs 59,900/- !!  So I made this video reviewing 2 other cheapest Bluetooth headphones from pretty popular Indian brands LEAF and boAt so that you can make a judgement in terms of the value which you can get at such dirt-cheap prices in stark comparison with the Apple product positioning and the functional aspects of these headphones. The headphones which I have reviewed are very good for the price which you pay. The only major drawback of the LEAF bass 2 headphones which I found was their noise isolation/seal issue where external world can hear the music which plays in your ears during practical usage. This is going to be surely a problem if you are using it in a quiet place with other people around you. Other than this for casual usage at home, these are pretty well-performing headphones for the price which they are being sold in the over the ears headphones category. ...

 Cut to flashback...I need to first mention about the land line telephone which we all were used to earlier. I went to the telephone department at Sheshadri Road to apply for the telephone connection by paying a deposit of Rs 3000/- when I was an engineerig student in 1999. I was so happy that that I need not go to the PCOs or the coin phone booths to call my friends. Now I would have my own number where my friends could reach me when I was @home. It took 3-4 months before we received this phone connection. We got ourselves a cordless Panasonic handset & I was all gung ho about this. It was the year 1999 or 2000 I think, I got my hands on the mobile handsets such as Siemens & Ericsson. These were bought by my father. And then there was the mobile phone from Motorola which belonged to my uncle which used extensively for SMSs. In 2003, I badly needed a mobile phone of my own since I had already started searching for jobs. And then Reliance's Karlo Duniya Muthi main campaign h...

Timeline  Comparison with Product(Red) of iPhone SE at 2:16 Pros at 2:55 Migration from Android experience at 5:31 Cons at 7:50 I have been an Android phone user all my life ever since the glory of the Symbian Nokia era was a thing of the past. But ofcourse I have been using the iPad mini 2 ever since it was launched and became a fan of the iOS platform ever since. However I have never been a fan of the iPhone as such. My first Android device was the Samsung Galaxy S3 which was a lovely phone with some great user experience provided by Samsung. Always felt that the screen size provided by Apple iPhone during those times to be too small to my liking. With iPhone 6 I believe things changed for the iPhone in terms of the screen size. And when iPhone X was launched it made me sit up and take notice. However I had moved on to use seve...
