The festival of lights also has the slightly annoying side to it—the loud fireworks. One way of dealing with it and changing the soundtrack is buying a good set of headphones. And this is true not just for that one evening, but even for times in office when your colleagues get a bit over-excited while you need to quickly finish some work, or to shut out the noisy co-passenger during the journey back home in the evening.
Here are some great earphones and headphones which you can consider splurging on.
