In last one month, 2 friends reached out to know about Saregama Carvaan. Certainly they had read enough about it and it seems most of the folks go through the same dilemma in mind & the obvious question is - "Is Saregama Carvaan worth?". And it's always tricky to answer such questions which are mainly about the worth. Worth of anything is dependent on individual priorities and factors of decision making. So whenever anyone approached me to know about it, I usually asked to call me so that I can explain it in details to help the person on other side make an informed choice.
If I have to describe 'Saregama Carvaan' quickly, I will say that it's a device which offer simplicity and great range of old songs with good audio quality. I got it for my father and I feel that someone like him is best user of Saregama Carvaan. He loves listening to old songs, which you get in Saregama Carvaan and you can listen to them without any ads or interruption. You can tune-in for songs by particular singer of your choice. Like play songs by Mohammand Rafi.
Saregama Carvaan also has bhajan collection which is best for morning. My dad switches it on in morning and start with Bhajans & the gradually moves to old songs of old Indian movies.
Here are some of the key features of Saregama Carvaan :
1. 5000 Songs Categorized Into 130+ Dedicated Stations
2. Bluetooth, USB and Aux In Support
3. FM/AM Radio, Android Device Compatible Charger
4. App Support - Download The Saregama Carvaan App on Your Android or iOS Mobile Phone
5. Rechargeable Battery that Last Upto 5 Hours
Saregama Carvaan also has a Premium variant. The most notable addition is a companion app (iOS and Android) that allows you to choose the song they want to hear or create their own playlist on Carvaan. Carvaan Premium now offers 50+ new stations dedicated to artistes like Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Rishi Kapoor etc. This in addition to the 80+ stations dedicated to the singers, lyricist and music composers in the flagship Carvaan. Now with an additional feature of AM radio one can hear both FM/AM on Carvaan Premium doubling it up as a home radio.
Pricing : If you check prices on online e-commerce portals, you will find a few variants. One clear difference is it's classic model and premium model. Even in these models, colours bring difference to the price. In some models, you don't get AUX. So compare carefully and chose what you want.
If you are buying it to gift it to your parents, I am assuming simplicity of using it in one important factors. So don't go behind lot of features and go for classic model. If colour is not an important factor, go for the cheapest options as it's for audio and not looks. But it's understandable if you want to fit it at particular place in your home and need a particular colour.
Is it expensive for the cost it's sold? - Yes, but again there is no other product which offer this value proposition. Everyone has music apps on phones, so much better speakers can be bought in this cost but again it depends upon your use-case.
