We live in an era where almost every piece of technology we used is going wireless. From mouse, keyboard, music systems to phone chargers, earphones, there is a large variety of products available. Its been a few years since smartphone companies have started abandoning the good old 3.5mm jack and nowadays we rarely see one on flagship smartphones. Smartphone companies have also stopped including wired earphones in the package in order to promote their wireless earphones or truly wireless earbuds. However, demand for wired earphones still exists as most of the entry-level and mid-range smartphones sport the headphone jack.

Here’s a look at earphones below Rs 500

Honor AM115

Honor AM115 is a wired and a half in-ear earphone which don’t have earphone tips. You don’t need to keep track of the ear tips that users often lose while traveling or just lose them after keeping them in their pocket. It offers volume control and mic as well.  They are currently available for Rs 379. However, the Honor AM115 is only available in white colour and the lack of ear tips may result in falling off the ears more often.
