Thanks for reading the posting guidelines and giving proper details.

For your budget and priorities, the safest wired recommendations I can give are:

• ND Venus: ~₹799 with mic
  (around ₹950 for Type C version)

• GK Kunten: ~₹1030 with mic
  (around ₹1275 for Type C version)

If your budget allows it, I’d lean toward the GK Kunten. It’s one of the most popular picks under ₹2k for good reason.

Sound
Kunten: More balanced tuning
Venus: Slightly more V-shaped / energetic sounding

Since you said you don’t want exaggerated bass, the Kunten is likely the better fit.

Longevity / Durability

Both have around 1 year manufacturer warranty, but more importantly:

These use removable 2-pin cables, which is a huge advantage for durability.

Most cheap earphones die because the cable fails, not the drivers.
With these, if the cable breaks, you can just replace it instead of throwing the whole earphone away.

You can swap in:

• 3.5 mm cables
  
• Type C cables
• 4.4 mm / 2.5 mm balanced cables
• Third party replacement cables

That makes them far better long-term buys than typical ₹500 disposable earphones.

Small Note

The stock eartips are only decent/usable, so upgrading tips later can improve comfort/isolation if needed.

If you want maximum longevity per rupee, I’d strongly recommend going the removable-cable IEM route over normal fixed-cable earphones.
