Headphones
Sony ULT Wear WH-ULT900N in India: ANC, LDAC, multipoint and a claimed 30 hours for about ₹12,980 to ₹12,990. Lab tests say comfortable but too bassy by default.
Hair Dryers & Stylers
Havells HD3191: 1,600 W, cool shot, foldable and a 2-year guarantee for ₹1,749. Made in India, but Havells' page disagrees on settings and has no reviews.
