With the October sales upon us, it is indeed exciting and at the same nerve-racking as to what to pick up. Flipkart and Amazon are advertising their massive deals days and it can get a bit tiring to figure out where to head to, to get the best deals. Both sites always show something off but is it really a good deal? We looked through thousands of deals to bring you the best.
Amazon
Amazon has some amazing to good discounts on some products. The key here is that the following audio category products keep rotating on Lightning deals. So if you don’t see it right now, it shows up in “Upcoming Deals” in a few hours.
Single handedly, the BEST DEAL on Amazon is the Sennheiser 598 SE and 598 CS headphones (Amazon exclusive) at Rs 9,909 and Rs 6,999; both cost Rs 18,990 otherwise. Practically the same with supreme sound while the new 598 CS being a closed back design offers more bass and zero sound leakage, unlike the SE original.
