Design & Usability
TAGG Inferno
By looking at the design you can see that these are sporting earphones, but you can use it for normal music listening as well. The Tagg Inferno is made out of plastic which has a soft texture on them which makes them feel nice in hand and bit premium too. Since these are wireless headphones there is only one short flat cable connect in the earphones together. If you dont like the all black color, there is also one with red wire.
The earphones are IPX 4 sweat resistant which means you can even wear them even in small rain or in Gym with full of sweat in your ears without worrying about them getting damaged. Also, the ear hooks does the job pretty well avoiding the earphones to slip off from the ears.
Controls and the power button of the Tagg Inferno located on the right earbud. There is also a in built microphone for taking calls. For music controls you have volume button on the top, when you long press them it acts as a forward button too. The power button acts as a play/pause button.
Apart from the earphones, you’ll get a carry case which is a hard shell case makes it easier for you to carry. Also, you’ll get different sized eartips and a USB cable to charge the device.
The battery life on these headphones are pretty good. On the box it says 8 hours of music play back and 6 hours of talk time. The actual tests were giving approximately what was advertised.
Crossbeats Raga
These earphones also have very good build quality and fits nicely in the ears without any problems. The body is sort of rubber plastic mixed material, so you dont feel it slipping off your hands often. The buttons are found on the right earbutton. But the built quality of the controls aren’t great.
The earhooks helps the headphones falling out of your ear when you walk or do jogging. You may find little difficult to wear this in the beginning but once you gets the hang of it, it int going to be a problem.
These earphones are also IPX 4 certified which means you can wear it during small rain or sweaty ears will not make any issues to them.
The battery life is stellar on this headphones. You could get 8 hours of play time easily with 75 % of volume.
Audio Quality
Tagg Inferno
The audio quality of these earphones are amazing with great lows, highs and mids.It doesnt disappoint the base lovers, but it is not as good as some other headphones in the market for the same price. Trus me it is good, but not overpowering. Overall, the audio quality is nicely balanced and wide.
Crossbeats Raga
These earphones has well tuned mids, great bass and good highs. Noise cancellation not as good as the Tagg Inferno, but it is almost does its job.
Verdict
For the price of $35Â or 2000 Rupees, these are value for many earphones. But in my opinion the Tagg inferno is a better option due to its rugged construction, better placement of the buttons and superior music quality.
