Finding the best gaming headphones, especially under 1500 rs in India is a big headache thanks to the long list of headphones and the so-called bloggers who are posting about gaming headphones under 1500 if you go through the list then you will find very old and outdated “gaming” headphones and some have also included gaming headphones below 1000 in below 1500 list.
Before moving forward you should know that these headphones are specifically made for gamers and streams. If you are a video editor, want to master audio, or want to listen music and watch movies then gaming headphones are not worth buying for you.

Below is the list of the best gaming headphones under 1500 in India (November 2022).
1. EKSA E900
If you want to go with my recommendation then buying EKSA E900 is a better choice over any other gaming headphones under 1500 listed in this article and you can save your time and research. You won’t be disappointed also you will get 2 Years of Warranty.
Note: You might feel that I am biased towards this product but it is not if a company is making quality products then the product will be loved and recommended by reviewers and other people.
Specifications | EKSA E900 |
Type | Over-ear, rubber wire (Non-Braided) |
Material | Metal grill and yokes rest plastic |
Driver Size | 50mm Neodymium |
Microphone | Flexible, removable and Noise Cancellation |
RGB | No RGB LED |
Warranty | 2 Year |
Build Quality
These are the best gaming headphones under 1500 in terms of build quality and paint finish followed by boAt Immortal IM-200. Metal is used in the construction of EKSA E900 as it is used very practically as they are not heavy gaming headphones and for them, they must be lightweight for users to use them for long hours of gaming sessions.
Mesh Grill, yokes and adjustable headband are made up of metal and the rest is made up of plastic. A Thick bright red wire goes from each earcup which is coiled and looks great.
I appreciate EKSA for making these gaming headphones more mature compared to their other sort of gaming headphones with funky RGB.
Fit Quality
Fit quality is great ear cushions are soft these are not as soft as memory foam like on E900 Pro but these are also good for budget headphones under 1500. The weight of these gaming headphones is also considerably less as there is no intentional and ugly-looking overdone RGB as those on other budget gaming headphones.
Talking about the headband it also comes with markings that show how much the headphone is expanded and this feature is an attention to detail and quite rare.
You can also remove the ear cushions which is also a rare feature in this price range.
Sound Quality
The sound experience is great on these gaming headphones. It is a pleasant sound with great base emphasis, the lower end due to the high bass feels tight but the higher end feels smooth. Though can’t compare it with regular Bluetooth headphones under 1500 as they will provide better music richness.
Sound imaging is also good for this price range. Localization is also good, can differentiate between the source whether it is coming from left or right though it lacks 7.1 Surround Sound.
The enemy’s footsteps were clearly audible whether the enemy is on top or on the lower floor.
Microphone Quality
EKSA E900 comes with a dedicated microphone with included foam for noise reduction. It is the same microphone used by the brand in E900 Pro. It is detachable which is great, it is flexible and of superior quality.
Wire Quality
Although it comes with rubber wire it might be a disappointment for some gamers but the quality of the wire is extremely excellent also it is very smooth and flexible. It also doesn’t have a microphonics issue which basically means when you touch the wire of the headphones a hiss or disturbing noise can be heard by the user.
It also comes with a dedicated microphone on/off switch and a volume in-line controller wheel.
Pros
- 50mm Driver.
- Build Quality and Comfort.
- Detachable Microphone.
- Compatibility.
- 2 Year Warranty.
- Available in Red/Blue/Purple/ Green.
Cons
- Not a con but EKSA is making these best-in-class gaming headphones and giving 50rs bribe for writing “GOOD” reviews on Amazon. It is a very bad tactic used by a respectable brand.
2. boAt Immortal IM-200
Specifications | boAt Immortal IM-200 |
Type | Over-ear, Braided Wire |
Material | Plastic Build and Metal mesh. |
Driver Size | 50mm |
Microphone | Adjustable, ENx Tech Noise Cancellation |
RGB | Breathing RGB LED |
Warranty | 1 Year |
Build Quality
These gaming headphones come with full plastic build quality with a metal mesh which you can’t see in images but it is there. It is a bad move from boAt showing something and selling something else most people might be buying these headphones for that sort of hollow design but I personally don’t like the design between the product image and the actual image.
I really like the design of the headband it is good in terms of comfort as one part is differentiated into two parts and the cushion is soft and flexible. Ear cushions are also soft but the quality could have been improved.
Fit Quality
Fit quality is decent the ear cushions surround the ears and isolates the environmental noise. If you live in a hotter environment condition then over time due to sweating the cushion might deteriorate but that’s the case with every gaming headphone in this price range.
It would have been great if boAt has considered providing a replaceable earcups design.
Sound Quality
Heavy bass for loud and clear explosions and gun firing helps to achieve a great gaming experience in games like Grand Theft Auto V and other multiplayer games like Call of Duty Warzone. It also comes with virtual 7.1 Surround Sound but for that, you have to download the boAt plugin labs software to use it.
Microphone Quality
A flexible dedicated microphone is given which is non-detachable and the quality of the microphone is decent and can also be used for zoom calls and in multiplayer games.
Wire Quality
Wire quality is top-notch, it comes with a thick braided cable with a USB connector using which you can connect to your PC or mobile using the Adapter. There is no inline controller provided for volume control and microphone on and off.
Pros
- 50mm Driver.
- Breathing RGB LED.
- Thick and braided Cable.
- RGB On/Off Button.
- 1 Year Warranty.
- Available in Red/Blue/Black.
Cons
- Only Compatible with PC, mobile user has to buy a dongle to connect.
- No Volume Controller and Mic on/off switch.

Ant Esports H1100 Pro excels in this department with all the cables provided braided including the splitter cable which is also of good quality. The gold plating is absent which might be a con for some people. An inline controller with the mic on/off switch and volume controller is also provided.
You can use these gaming headphones with a PC using a splitter cable and USB for RGB and with a mobile that has a 3.5mm audio jack if your mobile doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio jack then you can use an OTG dongle but then had to sacrifice the RGB element.
