Best Peripherals reviewed this quarter across price ranges

Thirty peripherals across three months. This quarter (April – June) covered everything from a Rs 2,199 Bluetooth speaker to a Rs 99,990 soundbar with first-of-its-kind Dirac Live room correction, with TWS earbuds, gaming monitors, smartwatches, mechanical keyboards, streaming amplifiers, smart glasses, and a health ring in between.

The clearest theme was value moving upward faster than price. The EvoFox Ronin X75 puts gasket-mount keyboard acoustics under Rs 5,000. The OPPO Enco Air5 Pro puts 55 dB ANC and Hi-Res audio under Rs 5,000. The CMF Watch 3 Pro puts dual-band GPS in a sub-Rs 10,000 smartwatch. Each would have required twice the budget as recently as 2024.

At the premium end, the BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QZ, a 27-inch 2K QD-OLED at 500Hz, is the quarter’s most technically distinctive product. Not everything landed cleanly: the HUION Note E has hardware that earns its price and software that does not, and the Noise Master Buds 2 have a fit issue worth knowing about before buying.

Klipsch ProMedia Lumina

The ProMedia Lumina is the most sonically accomplished desktop speaker system we reviewed this quarter. The satellite speakers use Klipsch’s Microtractrix horn with a 1-inch tweeter and 3-inch midrange driver. The compact MDF subwoofer houses a 6.5-inch side-firing woofer. The output is genuinely cinematic for a desktop footprint, and the Klipsch Control app adds 6-band EQ, Night Mode, and input switching. The two limitations to know about: the satellite-to-subwoofer cables use proprietary connectors that cannot be swapped for standard speaker wire, and there is no HDMI eARC for TV connection.

WiiM Amp Ultra

The Amp Ultra replaces a standalone streamer, DAC, and amplifier in a single chassis. Roon Ready certification, Hi-Res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect are all on board. Output is 120W per channel into 4 ohms. Build quality and app support are both strong. For anyone with passive speakers who wants a clean, capable, and well-supported streaming stack, this eliminates three devices and their cables in one purchase. The best all-in-one streaming amp available in India under Rs 50,000.

There are a few drawbacks, such as the limited advanced room correction and no headphone out/phone input.

OPPO Enco Air5 Pro

OPPO returned to the Enco Air lineup after three years and immediately set a new benchmark for the sub-Rs 5,000 segment. The 55dB ANC Rating holds up in real-world use: traffic noise, train tunnels, and office chatter all dropped to near-silence in testing. It has 54 hours of battery.

The 12mm titanium-coated driver delivers a V-shaped sound signature, strong highs and lows, slightly recessed mids, that suits most popular genres. LHDC 5.0 delivers Hi-Res audio on compatible phones. Bluetooth 6.0, dual-device pairing, and an IP55 Rating complete a package that leaves the competition with very little to point to.

Onkyo Muse Y-50 Network Integrated Amplifier

Onkyo’s return to India under the Premium Audio Company umbrella, and it makes a strong case. The Axign Class-D module produces none of the grain or sterility associated with the topology. The Y-50 sounds energetic, poised, and muscular, with a wide soundstage and a solid centre image.

At 250W into 4 ohms, it drove a pair of KEF Blade 2 Metas without complaint. Connectivity is comprehensive: three RCA inputs, HDMI ARC, a dedicated MM/MC phono stage, subwoofer output, and full streaming via Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and AirPlay 2. The front display doubles as a VU meter, which is a nice touch. The remote is a cluttered relic, and the display should have been a touchscreen, minor gripes around an otherwise coherent package.

Dell 27 Plus S2725QC Monitor

A 27-inch 4K IPS monitor at 120Hz with a USB-C port that delivers 65W charging. The ash-white design is genuinely attractive and pairs naturally with premium laptops. 4K at 27 inches produces excellent text sharpness for productivity work. The 120Hz panel makes everyday navigation noticeably smoother than 60Hz. HDMI 2.1 and VRR allow clean PS5 and Xbox Series X connection. The limitations are typical IPS: contrast is unremarkable, and HDR without local dimming produces grey rather than black in dark scenes. Not for competitive gaming.

EvoFox Ronin X75

A 75% layout mechanical keyboard with gasket mounting and five-layer sound dampening at Rs 4,999. That combination typically appears at Rs 8,000 and above. The result is a keyboard that sounds noticeably deeper and softer than anything competing at this price, with a thocky keystroke that mechanical enthusiasts spend considerably more chasing. Tri-mode connectivity covers USB-C, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth, with a 1000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes. The 4,000mAh battery lasts several days with RGB enabled, although the RGB brightness could have been better along with the keycap finish.

Klipsch Flexus Core 300

The Klipsch Flexus Core 300 is the world’s first soundbar with built-in Dirac Live room correction. The Core 300 packs 13 drivers into a 54-inch chassis, including horn-loaded tweeters, side and top-firing drivers, and a pair of 4-inch subwoofers per side, making an external subwoofer optional for most content.

With Dirac engaged, the midbass cleans up noticeably, restoring the spaciousness and air you would expect from a traditional stereo setup. Without it, the sound is thick in the low-mids. The walnut veneer and aluminium grille finish is genuinely premium. Connectivity covers HDMI 2.1 passthrough, eARC, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and AirPlay. The remote lacks a Dirac on/off toggle, which becomes a minor frustration when making comparisons.

BenQ EW270Q

A 27-inch 1440p IPS monitor at 200Hz is a combination that makes the BenQ EW270Q genuinely useful for both productivity and gaming without compromising either. The IPS panel delivers accurate colour coverage suitable for photo editing and content consumption.

At 200Hz, competitive titles feel responsive and fluid. The BenQ Color Shuttle app adds game-specific colour profiles that are more useful than they sound. HDR support is present but limited without local dimming. The strongest single-display solution in the sub-Rs 20,000 monitor segment.

OnePlus Nord Buds 4 Pro

The easiest TWS recommendation under Rs 4,000 in India right now. The 12.4mm titanium-coated dynamic driver produces clear, balanced sound with good mid presence, something many competitors at this price sacrifice for bass. ANC is strong for the segment. Total battery life reaches up to 44 hours with the case. Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity is stable. The companion app handles EQ and ANC mode control without friction. A small negative for the TWS is the lack of proper mids.

Oakley Meta HSTN

A collaboration between Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses platform and Oakley’s sport optics. Two 12MP cameras, five-microphone audio, open-ear speakers, and Prizm lens technology in Oakley’s O-Matter sport frame.

The camera output is genuinely usable, not just functional. Meta AI integration for quick answers and image description works as advertised. The sport frame makes this more comfortable during active use than the standard Ray-Ban Meta. Of course, the price is a point of contention for some, and the design may not appeal to all.

Fire TV Full HD Streaming Stick (2026)

30% slimmer than the previous generation and now USB-powered from the TV itself, eliminating the wall socket requirement. The new Vega OS is clean and fast, but it removes APK sideloading, a significant trade-off for users who relied on that. Wi-Fi 6 keeps streams stable. HDR10 and HDR10+ support improves content on compatible displays. The stick tops out at 1080p, making it the right choice only for HD displays or secondary screens and is redundant for newer TVs. Anyone with a 4K TV should spend the extra Rs 1,000 on the 4K Select.

TP-Link Deco BE25 (3-pack)

The most accessible Wi-Fi 7 mesh system in India. The three-pack covers a large area, each node carries two 2.5 Gbps ports, and setup via the Deco app takes minutes. In testing on a 200Mbps connection, it delivered near-full speeds in every room, with stable connectivity even for cameras placed on a balcony and a floor below.

The Deco app adds QoS, guest network, IoT isolation, and parental controls. Advanced HomeShield security features sit behind a paid subscription. No 6GHz band and no web interface are the two honest limitations for power users.

EarFun Air Pro 4+

The Air Pro 4+ carries the Snapdragon Sound certification and delivers on it. Sound is rich, detailed, and consistent across genres, with good instrument separation and a wide soundstage for the price. Bass is punchy without dominating the mix. ANC handles background environmental noise well but leaves voices at close range audible, which is the one area where it falls short of expectations. Call quality is good. Battery life is competitive at around 9 hours per earbud. The best Hi-Res wireless earbuds available in India under Rs 10,000.

Amazon Echo Dot Max

Amazon’s most capable Echo Dot and the only one with a built-in Zigbee hub, Thread border router, and Matter support. The 2.5-inch woofer delivers more bass than the standard Echo Dot. The Omnisense sensor adds temperature, ambient light, and ultrasound presence detection for home automation triggers. For smart home users building a Zigbee or Matter network, the ability to control devices without a separate hub is a genuine convenience gain. The limitation here is that the price tag still remains a bit high for what it offers.

Tribit PocketGo

A compact Bluetooth speaker that produces louder, more full-bodied sound than its size suggests. The 10W driver is well-tuned, IPX7 waterproofing is genuine, and the 24-hour rated battery held up in testing. Bass extension and soundstage width are constrained by physics at this size, and that is expected.

The XBass mode adds low-end presence at the cost of some mid clarity. For a bathroom or day-bag outdoor speaker, this is hard to beat at the price. There are limitations as well, though, with this being a single-driver speaker and the charging speeds a bit on the lower side.

BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QZ

A 27-inch 2K QD-OLED monitor at 500Hz. The QD-OLED panel delivers self-illuminating blacks and infinite contrast alongside 99% DCI-P3 colour coverage. Spend time with the BenQ Color Shuttle app, which downloads game-specific colour profiles from BenQ’s server, and the picture quality climbs to a level that is difficult to describe in spec terms alone. Anti-burn-in features including Pixel Orbit, Idle Dimmer, and Logo Dimming run quietly in the background. At Rs 84,998, the positioning is specific: for buyers who want the maximum refresh rate combined with OLED panel quality, there is currently no alternative.

HUION Note E

An 8.4-inch Android 15 digital notebook with an anti-glare nano-etched LCD panel that mimics the tactile feel of paper. It is not e-ink, the colour LCD is faster and more vibrant, but the matte surface makes writing with the PenTech 3.0 stylus genuinely close to pen on paper. The battery-free magnetic stylus with 8,192 pressure levels is excellent. The hardware earns its price, but it has average speakers and slow charging is something that holds it back.

Realme Buds T500 Pro

Under Rs 3,000, the Buds T500 Pro is Realme’s most complete TWS offering. The 10mm dynamic driver delivers a warm, bass-forward sound that works well for pop and hip-hop. ANC is solid for the price, IPX4 covers daily use, and battery life holds at around 8 hours per earbud. The companion app adds EQ customisation. The main concession is a plastic build that feels its price, and the spatial audio that could have been a bit better.

ASUS ROG Strix XG248QSG Ace

A 24-inch 610Hz Fast IPS monitor built for competitive FPS players. The refresh rate is not marketing. At this frame count, motion clarity in Valorant and CS2 is measurably smoother than at 360Hz or 500Hz, and the input lag at this speed is relevant at tournament level. For everyone else, this is a significant amount of money for a 1080p display. The Rs 89,990 price reflects how narrow the audience is, the lack of USB ports on the machine is another drawback.

boAt Aavante Prime X

This is boAt’s first premium soundbar and the brand’s most ambitious product to date. The 7.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos configuration with wireless detachable rear satellites and a wireless subwoofer at Rs 39,999 is a genuinely different proposition from anything else at this price. The wireless satellite design is the standout feature: the rear speakers detach from the main bar and run on internal 4,500mAh batteries, making proper surround placement possible without running cables across the floor. Audio performance is strong, with deep bass and clear vocals even in chaotic action scenes. The front Dot Matrix display cannot be dimmed, and individual rear speaker volume calibration is not available.

CMF Watch 3 Pro

Nothing’s most refined budget smartwatch. The 1.43-inch AMOLED at 670 nits is sharp and readable outdoors. Dual-band L1+L5 GPS locks in seconds and tracks accurately, a feature typically found in watches at twice the price. Battery life runs well past a week in mixed use. The Nothing X app is well-designed, and 131 sport modes cover essentially every activity. The swappable bezels from the Watch Pro 2 are gone, which is a step back. No NFC means no contactless payments, and the watch is IP68 rated but not cleared for swimming.

Klipsch Miami

A large party speaker that takes a different approach to the category. Where most competitors in this segment lead with maximum bass, the Miami uses a horn-loaded compression tweeter with dual 5.25-inch woofers to prioritise clarity and balance. The Ultra Bass mode and in-app EQ offer flexibility for those who want more low-end, and there are plenty of connectivity options

At around 18kg with trolley wheels and a retractable handle, it is portable in the luggage sense rather than the backpack sense. IPX4 covers light splashes but not poolside use. The bundled microphone is functional but lacks clarity at high volumes. The battery life is a weakness, while the price could be better.

Wzatco Yuva Go Ultra

A compact Google TV projector with 1080p native resolution, auto focus, and 4-point digital keystone correction. In dark rooms, the image is sharp and vibrant across 40 to 200 inches. Auto focus and keystone correction require minimal manual adjustment after initial setup. Google TV provides full Play Store access and clean streaming integration. The honest limitations: claimed brightness is undermined by any ambient light, and Bluetooth audio pairing suffers from latency that made it impractical for video viewing during testing. The aux port also failed to output audio in our unit.

UltraProlink Boost Unity 105W

A six-port GaN desktop charging station delivering up to 105W total output via 5th-generation GaN technology. It has four USB-C ports, two at 100W and two at 65W, alongside two USB-A ports at 18W each. Supports AVS for iPhone 17, PPS up to 105W for laptops, Samsung SFC 2.0, and QC 3.0/4.0. At Rs 6,999, it replaces multiple chargers on a desk with a single BIS-certified unit. However, it does not come with a charging cable included in the box.

Realme Watch S5

Realme’s most well-rounded smartwatch. The 1.43-inch AMOLED at 1,000 nits is vivid and readable in direct sunlight. Independent GPS covers 110 sport modes. Battery life reaches up to 16 days in standard mode, among the best in the segment. Heart rate, SpO2, sleep, stress, and women’s health tracking are all present. Two honest concessions: the UI displays time in 24-hour format in menus even when the main face is set to 12-hour, a software inconsistency, and the haptic feedback is not the best.

WD Black P10 Game Drive (6TB)

The P10 solves one problem cleanly: running out of console storage. The rugged corrugated metal chassis keeps the 5,400 RPM drive cool under sustained use. Sequential read and write speeds average around 120 to 130 MB/s, adequate for archiving and loading last-gen titles. It is not fast enough to run native PS5 or Xbox Series X games those still require an internal SSD. The Micro-B USB connector is the most dated element on an otherwise well-suited product. Plug-and-play with both PS5 and Xbox.

Qubo Q400 Air Purifier

The Q400 is an IoT-connected air purifier with PM2.5 monitoring, Alexa compatibility, and a responsive app. The hardware is competent: quiet at lower speeds, adequate coverage for a mid-sized room, and clean smart home integration. The harder question the review raises is sensor accuracy. Without independent calibration data, the PM2.5 readings are difficult to act on with real confidence. For a product where the data is the core value proposition, that gap matters.

Noise Master Buds 2

Sound by Bose tuning, 51dB adaptive ANC, LHDC Hi-Res audio, Bluetooth 6.1, and 360-degree spatial audio with head tracking at Rs 7,999 is a strong specification on paper. The sound quality delivers balanced, musical, and detailed audio without the over-boosted bass common in this segment. ANC is effective, and the battery life is also pretty decent for the price. The fit is the honest problem: the larger earbud size causes discomfort in some ear shapes after 30 to 40 minutes of extended wear.

Moto Buds 2 Plus

Sound by Bose tuning, an 11mm dynamic driver with Knowles balanced armature, 40-hour total battery life, Bluetooth 6.0, and LHDC Hi-Res audio at Rs 5,999. The comfort is genuinely good, a secure fit that holds through extended sessions without fatigue. Sound quality is pleasant but stops short of what the Bose association implies: bass lacks punch and depth, and the overall output feels constrained relative to what the hardware suggests it should deliver. There’s also no iOS app for this.

Oura Ring 4

The Oura Ring 4 is the most discreet health wearable on the market, and the most accurate passive sleep tracker we have tested. The titanium ring packs heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature, and HRV sensors in a form factor that is comfortable enough to wear continuously. Readiness and Sleep scores correlate well with subjective wellbeing over time. The ongoing Rs 499 per month subscription sits behind the most meaningful data, which is the honest limitation of the ownership model. The hardware costs Rs 24,990; the full value of the platform costs more. Also, the app AI needs to be tuned better
