Think Like a Monk Paperback – 8 September 2020 - Jay Shetty

 

About the author:-

Jay Shetty, social media superstar and host of the #1 podcast ‘On Purpose’, distils the timeless wisdom he learned as a practising monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life.

Over the past three years, Jay Shetty has become one of the world’s most popular influencers. One of his clips was the most watched video on Facebook last year, with over 360 million views. His social media following totals over 32 million, he has produced over 400 viral videos, which have amassed more than 5 billion views, and his podcast, ‘On Purpose’, is consistently ranked the world’s #1 health-related podcast.
In this inspiring, empowering book, Shetty draws on his time as a monk in the Vedic tradition to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. Drawing on ancient wisdom and his own rich experiences in the ashram, “Think Like a Monk” reveals how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us.
The lessons monks learn are profound but often abstract. Shetty transforms them into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve focus, improve relationships, identify our hidden abilities, increase self-discipline and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world. Shetty proves that everyone can – and should – think like a monk.

Best Headphones Under ₹2000

 Best Headphones Under ₹2000

Audio forms an integral part of our life - we all listen to music, watch movies, and binge on TV shows on our smartphones for hours at a time. However, it tends to be the most ignored part of the multimedia experience. There is a misconception that good earphones and headphones cost a lot - which is simply not true. There are many examples out there which punch above their weight and deliver exceptional audio quality for not much money. For your convenience, we have split the list into two parts - best earphones as well as best headphones under Rs. 2,000.

Best earphones under Rs. 2,000

People tend to to pair their expensive smartphones with either any old (and mediocre) pair of earphones, or the ones that come in the box. In ear earphones offer a nice blend of audio quality, convenience, and features. Here are my picks for the best earphones under Rs. 2,000:

1. Best overall : Infinity 500 JBL

Product information Black , Glide 500

Brand	Infinity
Manufacturer	Harman International Industries, Inc
Model	Glide 500
Model Name	Glide
Product Dimensions	6 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm; 104 Grams
Batteries	1 Lithium Polymer batteries required. (included)
Item model number	Glide 500
Special Features	Wireless

Product Image Gallery

Infinity 500 is the best on-ear headphones under 2000 rupees that you can purchase from JBL. If you are buying headphones for the first time, you should get started with these. They have all the necessary features that you will need.

These headphones have an over-ear design, so do not expect much from the perspective of noise cancellation. You will have to spend a little more money if you want any noise isolation/cancellation.

The quality of the sound of the Infinity 500 is excellent for its price. The bass and notes are well balanced, and you will enjoy doing any kind of activity in them. Let it be watching a movie, working out, or merely listening to music.

Battery backup of these headphones is 20 hours, which is terrific. Even the more expensive models of JBL are not able to touch these numbers, so the Infinity 500 is genuinely remarkable.

In terms of size and weight, these headphones are feather-light and super compact. They weigh just 105 grams and have foldable earcups. This makes carrying them around much easier.

Voice assistants like Google Assistant and Siri have been integrated into these headphones. You can access them by pressing the power button twice. They will use your phone’s internet connection to search and answer your questions.

The starting price of the JBL Infinity 500 is 1400 Rupees, and they come with a warranty of 1 year. You can get them in 3 colours, Black, Blue, and Red.

• 2. Best Bluetooth Headphone Under ₹2000 : Mi Super Bass

 

Type	Over-Ear Headphones
Bluetooth	Yes (V 5.0)
Battery Life	Up to 20 hours
Microphone	Yes
Rating	4/5
Warranty	6 months
Weight	150 grams

The Mi Super Bass is stylish and comfortable to wear. They have an over-ear design, which works very well in isolating environmental noise. Products of this price range are not expected to deliver such beautiful noise isolation, and this makes these headphones even better.

The build quality of these headphones is okay. They are made from plastic and have sufficiently padded ear cups and top ring, but they are fragile. I would not want to drop them, even from a height of 1 foot.

Mi has used the  Bluetooth 5.0 version in these headphones. So, the quality of your connection would be excellent. They will pair up quickly and be consistent within their range of 10 meters.

Battery life is one of the best aspects of Mi Super Bass Headphones. It will last for around 20 hours on a single charge. Therefore, you will be able to watch entire movies on the go, without charging them in between. Moreover, even if you do run out of battery at some point, convert them into wired headsets with the dual-sided Aux cable. It comes within the box.

The total weight of these headphones is 150 grams, which is very less given their chunky size. They will not put any unnecessary pressure on your head and ears.

You can get the Mi Super Bass for about 1800 Rupees, and they come with a warranty of 6 months.

Pros

• Available in 2 unique colours, Red and Gold
• Bass quality is amazing
• Over-ear design is comfortable to wear
• It has Bluetooth 5.0
• Excellent battery life

Cons

• Less warranty period

3. Best Over-Ear Headphones Under 2000: Motorola Escape 200

Type	Over-Ear Headphones
Bluetooth	Yes (V 4.0)
Battery Life	Up to 15 hours
Microphone	Yes
Rating	3.5/5
Warranty	1 year
Weight	177 grams

The Motorola Escape 200 are the best over-ear headphones under 2000 (INR). They were quite expensive at their launch time, but the company slashed their selling price recently. Now, you can purchase them for just 1200 Rupees, which is almost one-third of their starting price.

The build quality of these headphones is impressive. The plastic used is not only robust but also soft and shiny. It does not feel too blunt and has been finished with perfection. You can count on it to last for many years.

The audio quality of the Escape 200 is too good for its price. The noise isolation works like a charm, thanks to its over-ear design. You will be taken to another dimension the moment you put and turn these things on.

Smart assistants like Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa, all are compatible with these headphones. You can use them from a single press of a button.

On a full charge, these headphones will give you a battery life of 15 hours. It might seem less looking at our previous products, but it is excellent. Not many devices can touch these numbers.

Even though they have a chunky design, you can carry them around without any trouble. Their ear cups are foldable and take very little space in this form. They will easily fit inside the smallest of your bags.

You can buy the Motorola Escape 200 for about 1200 Rupees, and they come with a warranty of 1 year. They are available in a single Black colour.

Pros

• Strong and powerful bass
• In-built Amazon’s Alexa
• Amazing battery backup
• High quality-price ratio
• Over-ear design

Cons

• Available in a single colour
• Old design

4. Best Gaming Headphones Under 2000 Rs: boAt Rockerz 510

Type	Over-Ear Headphones
Bluetooth	Yes (V 4.1)
Battery Life	Up to 10 hours
Microphone	Yes
Rating	4.3/5
Warranty	1 year
Weight	231 grams

Boat Rockerz 510 are modern, stylish headphones. Their design is a bit unconventional, which makes them stand out from their competitors. I would not recommend them to you if you are looking for low-key headphones, as they will attract all the attention to themselves in a room.

The build of these headphones is premium, and you would expect that given their high price. Everything from their buttons to cushioning is made from superior quality material.

The over-ear design of boAt Rockerz 510 allows them to isolate external noise to maximum. Their earcups secure the entire ear with perfection. The battery life of these headphones is 10 hours, which is average as compared to previous products. However, you can convert them to wired headphones at any given point. Just connect the aux cable that you find in its box to the laptop/smartphone, and you will be able to use them on 0% battery.

There are 4 buttons on the left ear cup of these headphones, and you can use them to change volume or skip between tracks. You will not need your smartphone for any of these things.

The only shortcoming of these headphones is their weight. At 230 grams, these are one of the heaviest ones on this list. People who have sensitive ears might find these headphones repulsive.

boAt Rockerz 510 is available in 4 unique colours, and they are Red, Blue, Orange, and Green. Their starting price is 1800 Rupees, and they come with a warranty of 1 year.

Pros

• Offers one of the best sound qualities
• It can be used as a wired headset
• Highly rated by customers
• 1 year of warranty
• Superior build quality

Cons

• Not comfortable to wear for long durations
• Weight
• 
  
  

  Best Headphones Under 2000 (INR) – The FAQs

  Which one is the best noise-cancellation device on this list?

  Boult Audio ProBass provides the best noise cancellation. Their over-ear design is the best and provides the most efficient reduction of environmental noise. They have been discussed at number 6 on this list if you wish to check them out.

  Which headphones would be the best for the prevention of headaches?

  Due to the external compression of headphones, many people suffer from headaches every time they use them. If you are one of these people, I would recommend you to try the Infinity 500 by JBL. They are the most lightweight headphones on this list, and they exert the least pressure on your skull.

  How should I take care of my headphones?

  Taking care of your headphones is fairly simple. You just have to be a little cautious when using them, and they will last for a long time. Some steps that you can follow are:
  
  1. Do not bend them unnecessarily.
  2. Clean them from time to time.
  3. Do not take off the ear cups for no reason.
  4. Keep them away from sharp objects.
  5. If they are not waterproof, protect them at all costs from the rain.
  6. Do not overcharge them.
