Stereo Bluetooth Phones under Rs. 20,000

In this wirefree world where a handheld devices sends out four or five different kinds of radio waves to do all kinds of things, why do we still use wired headphones to listen to our music? Enter Bluetooth A2DP, or Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. A2DP is a technology that lets devices transmit and receive audio signals in high quality, stereo mode, as opposed to regular Bluetooth audio which is not very high quality and mono. Now, the real reason why most of us don't use this technology yet, is because Bluetooth A2DP headphones are expensive—sometimes as expensive as the phone itself— and they also need separate recharging since they run on batteries. But as all things finally come around, the prices of Bluetooth A2DP headphones will drop, so if you like to listen to music and hate wires, consider upgrading to one of these phones and cut off the cables.

Unfortunately all of the A2DP-supporting phones are over Rs. 10,000, that's why we went with the Rs. 20,000 list.
