You dont buy Shure etc. in India. Buy them online from Amazon or see if someone in USA can get it for you. ( The prices are as much as halved if you get it from there and this way u'll avoid the impossible import duty and can use that money to but a portable headphone amplifier, trust me u'll need one).
Try this site for cheap amps........I mean this quality from europe will cost you three times. http://www.audiophilechina.com/ But you need patience. The guys there take their own sweet time and pretty much only one guy knows English. Try E bay if you seek buyer protection. If you buy things in INDIA they will cost you a lot more. Bottom Line.
