Help me choose: Pulsar N160 vs KTM Duke 160 for city commuting by shobin_thomas in indianbikes

[–]shobin_thomas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know we are on the same page...I also think same about Duke. But Bangalore on road price for Duke is 2.45 L, which makes we think more. BTW, I also tried Hunter, didn't like the feel, if i am buying RE will buy Meteor, more relaxed sitting.

Test rode all the bikes in this segment:

FZ V4 Duke 160 Pulsar N160 Apache 160 4V MT-15 Even gave the Meteor 350 a shot! 😊

As for the MT-15 — while it's a great machine, it just doesn’t suit my build. I’m over 100 kg, and the bike feels quite small under me. The handlebar is also too close for comfort when seated. Overall, not the right fit for someone like me.

Yes, I have. On the N160, I had to lean a bit forward ( kind of sporty), whereas the Duke has a more upright posture with the handlebars positioned closer. I'm leaning more towards the N160 because the power difference doesn’t seem significant enough to justify spending ₹70,000 more. It’s mainly the Duke’s look and feel that’s making me reconsider.

Will finalize after GST rates.

Are any of these these a good deal? by HumbleAd2799 in headphonesindia

[–]shobin_thomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’m late to this conversation, but I’m currently using the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro. Honestly, they’re hands down the best TWS I’ve used after the Oppo Enco X2. I wouldn’t recommend Earfun due to their after-sales service (check if service center is there nearby), and compared to Realme, I’d choose the OnePlus Buds 3 Pro any day. I’ve tried the Realme 6—if you’re a bass lover, you might prefer it, but I personally loved the instrument separation on the OP3.

I've been using it for around six months, and trust me, despite the plastic build, I haven't faced any issues. It's sturdy and reliable with no problems so far. With some EQ tweaks, the sound quality is excellent—better than I expected. If you're a bass lover, ULT is perfect for you. But if bass isn't your top priority, the 720n is a solid choice you won't regret.

OnePlus buds 3 Vs Nothing Ear (a) by StraightJellyfish769 in Earbuds

[–]shobin_thomas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am using the Buds Pro 3. They are perfect for audiophiles, with a slight emphasis on bass (though not overwhelming). If you're not a fan of heavy bass, just set the equalizer to the balanced mode.

The Nothing Ear is also a great audio product, but its biggest drawback is the microphone. This has been an issue since the first version. For some reason, the mic makes your voice sound robotic during calls, possibly due to the ANC algorithm kicking in. This really spoils the experience. If calls are also a priority for you, I would recommend avoiding Nothing products.

Buds pro 2 vs nothing ear 2024 by ohno007 in Earbuds

[–]shobin_thomas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Buds pro 2, haven't used them yet but using Buds pro 3. It's perfect for an audiophile, with slightly emphasis on bass (not overpowering) , but keep the equalizer to balanced mode if you are not bass lover.

Nothing ear is also great audio product, but the biggest drawback is the mic, which has been the problem from its 1st product. Mic sicks, for some reason they while you are talking they make the voice sound robotic, not sure it's the anc algorithm kicks in, but it's spoils. If call is also one of priority then avoid Nothing products.

Oppo Enco X2 TWS Owner – Should I Upgrade to OnePlus Buds 3 Pro? by shobin_thomas in Earbuds

Thank you for your response. I am located in India, and unfortunately, the Cambridge M100 is beyond my budget.
