FLASHY BUT NOT FOR EVERYONE

Nu Republic has built its reputation on budget-friendly audio gear with eye-catching designs, and the Starboy 6 Wireless Headphones continue that trend. Priced at ₹2,499, these headphones promise bass-heavy audio, gaming-focused performance, and a bold LED aesthetic.

But do they deliver where it truly matters?

DESIGN & COMFORT

If you want your headphones to make a statement, the Starboy 6 has you covered. With breathing LED lights on the earcups, these headphones are anything but subtle. However, the lights aren't customisable, which may disappoint those who love RGB personalisation. Regarding build, Nu Republic has opted for a lightweight frame with memory foam earcups and a vegan leather finish. While this lends a premium feel to the price, the overall comfort level is debatable. The clamping force is firm, making the fit tight, especially for users with larger heads. The headband is adjustable, but extended wear can lead to discomfort. If you prioritise comfort over style, these might not be your best bet.
