Indian music label and film production
company Saregama is best known for its film-based music, including its huge
repository of film classics through the decades. Not too long ago, the company
entered the hardware space with its Carvaan range of devices, which includes
wireless speakers and audio players with a variety of features such as
pre-loaded music, Internet radio, and more. The latest product in the company's
fledgling hardware range is the Saregama Carvaan GX01 wired earphones, priced
at Rs. 1,599.
The Carvaan GX01 is a standard pair of
3.5mm earphones, and can be used with any device that has a regular headphone
jack - most smartphones, computers, and even Carvaan devices such as the
Saregama Carvaan Go.
The headset features 14.2mm dynamic
drivers, with what the company calls ‘signature Carvaan tuning'. This suggests
that the earphones will sound best with the kind of music you'll typically find
in the pre-loaded collection on Carvaan devices. Interestingly, the sales package
shows a frequency response graph, which suggests that the sonic signature is
bass-oriented with a slight drop-off in the mids and highs.
The Saregama Carvaan GX01 earphones are
available in two colours - black and white - and also have a microphone and
button which can be used to invoke digital assistants on smartphones and
tablets. The earphones will be available to buy online on the Saregama website,
as well as through the company's retail network.
Saregama has taken the hardware segment
seriously, with the launch of various products starting with the original
Saregama Carvaan in 2017. Since then, the company has also launched the Carvaan
Go, Carvaan Gold, and Carvaan 2.0, among other devices. With the Carvaan GX01
earphones, the company is diving a bit deeper into the hardware space.
