AirPods Max 2
In the headphones field this took money no object. It is not the crowned answer (Sony WH-1000XM6 is), but here is exactly where it earns its place, and where it gives ground.

Why it might win
Lush build, seamless with Apple gear
Why it might not
Heavy, and ₹28k more for the privilege
The Apple tax made explicit
₹67,900 is ₹27,910 more than the crowned Sony, and most of that gap buys build quality and how tightly it locks into other Apple devices rather than better noise cancelling. Worth it mainly if you are already deep in that ecosystem.
Heavy regardless of price
The weight is a physical fact, not a preference, and it shows up on long flights or long stretches at a desk in a way the lighter Sony doesn’t. Comfort here loses to the Sony before the price gap even enters the conversation.
