Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Philips BHS336 costs ₹1,268 more than Vega VHSC04, 104% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Philips BHS336 does something you actually need.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.0★ are close enough to be noise, across 1,436 and 344 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHSC04 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Philips BHS336 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Vega VHSC04 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
That ₹1,222 is the best of 3 listings we track for Vega VHSC04, currently on Amazon. Note that Vega VHSC04 appears on fewer stores (2), so its price has less competition to hold it down and is the more likely of the two to drift.
