First of all, the earphones were categorized based on their price range:
1. Below ₹1k
2. ₹1k – ₹2k
3. ₹2k – ₹5k
4. ₹5k – ₹10k
5. Above ₹10k .
Then, to determine the top 10 earphones in each price range, a comprehensive scoring system was developed. Each earphone was rated across several key features, with each feature assigned a weight based on its importance to the average user.
The features analyzed were:
Cost (25% weight): Lower price received a higher score.
Playtime (20% weight): Longer total battery life scored higher.
Latency (15% weight): Lower latency (in ms) is better for gaming and video, and scored higher.
Audio Driver Size (10% weight): Larger drivers (in mm) generally produce better sound and were scored higher.
Water Resistance (5% weight): A higher IPX rating (e.g., IPX5 is better than IPX4) resulted in a higher score.
Weight (7% weight): Lighter earphones scored higher for better comfort.
Charging Time (10% weight): Faster charging times received a higher score.
Bluetooth Version (3% weight): Newer Bluetooth versions scored higher.
Dual Pairing (5% weight): The ability to connect to two devices at once was given a bonus.
The ratings and number of reviews were also considered along with the above parameters.
After scoring each earphone out of 100 based on this weighted system, they were ranked to identify the top 10 performers that offer the best overall value and feature set.
