Switch verdict

Sennheiserisn't Indian-owned โ€” but there's no like-for-like Indian match yet

We won't push a switch that isn't a fair comparison. No Indian brand in Audio currently matches Sennheiser's price tier โ€” so this is a gap, not a swap. 4 Indian options exist in the wider category if you want to compare.
