Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Vega VHSH42 costs ₹326 more than Nirvani AIO16B, 119% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Vega VHSH42 does something you actually need.
Buyers rate Vega VHSH42 higher (3.3★ versus 4.1★), but the smaller of the two samples is only 11 ratings, which is too thin to lean on. We report the gap rather than treat it as settled.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSH42 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Nirvani AIO16B does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHSH42 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹273 figure is on Flipkart, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
