Using it for a few days now. Satisfied with the product.
Too Long Didn’t Read: It’s good but it could be better in the physical features.
Disclaimer: This is my first Truly Wireless Earphone so I won’t be giving any stars or marks to any feature, only my opinion. I can’t give any ratings because there is nothing to compare it to.
I was really hyped to receive these earphones because I’ve wanted a Truly Wireless Earphone for a few months now and this seems like a good entry-level one. The rest of the review will go into detail on the various features.
The Charging Case: The included charging case charges by USB-C ( the cable for which is included with the product, you will have to get an adapter for it ). It is light and small enough to fit in a pocket. It can hold a good amount of charge to last a day. Keep the box for charging when you go to sleep and you should be good for the next day.
The Earphones Themselves: They sound good but not the best build quality. It is made of plastic but feels fine. If you take care of them and don’t drop it too much, you should be fine. Many people say that it hurts when you put them on for a long time, and I have experienced this. For some reason, they feel fine when you use one at a time. But anyway, if you use them for a month or so your ears will get used to it. If you look at the photos you will see that the end of the earphones is shaped in a bulbous way. Since we have only used normal earphones that aren’t like this it’s normal to feel slight pain. It looks really good and the buds are of adequate quality.
Bluetooth Functionality: This should be common sense, but just because the earphones support Bluetooth 5 and your phone or tablet dosent, it won’t make it sound better. It has the normal lag while playing music and watching videos but it’s not too bad. Playing games is out of the question, don’t use Bluetooth gear to play games. It can work within a distance of 8-10 meters which is adequate.
Touch Response System: I don’t know what boAt calls it but the earphones have a touch-responsive system on their sides. I’ve seen many people say they press it accidentally, I can’t agree with it. That has only happened to me once when I first got it, and I learned to hold it without accidentally touching it. Unless you have arthritis you should be good. I actually have trouble pressing it when I need to because they are placed right in the middle ( refer to the photos ) where the boAt symbol is and can be hard to find but you will get used to it.
So that’s it. It’s not the BEST earphone, but what did you expect for 2000 Rs. If you have a budget of 4k to 5k don’t settle for a cheap one and buy this. There are better ones in the market, boAt and others like Noise. But if you’re like and me and just want to use earphones without wires for cheap, I would recommend this. Personally, I like using one at a time since it feels nice, I can hear things outside if need be, and I like it.

Just Buy it Blind Folded It’s Boat Airdopes after all 😉
This is Just Another amazing product from Boat and this is far almost the best of theirs with regards to Ear Pods.
Pros:
– Awesome Build Quality.
– Great Bass Sound (with proper Equalizer settings on your phone).
– Instant Connectivity.
– Compact and Easy to handle.
– Wonderful Noise Cancellation and Treble Balance as well.
– Superb Touch Sensitivity and easy controls.
Cons:
– Touch is a bit too sensitive.
– If you are a bike rider who listens to music while driving then you might face some problems due to the touch feature.
– It is advisable to Buy a separate Shockproof case for your charging case as it is very compact and tends to slip out of your hands.
Overall just a Great Product and Don’t Think too much about comparing as well, Just wait for the right Discount and you can just get it as LOW as 1500-1800/-

Best Budget Earbuds with Premium Look and Feel
I believe this is the best budget true wireless earbuds. It has a perfect fitting, a whole day lasting battery life, quick paring, good sound quality, perfect ear fit. I wear it for almost 12 hours a day and it doesn’t gets pain in the ears. Just one concern is noise cancellation as when there’s background noise it is difficult to talk over a phone call. Else it’s 4 out of 5 and highly recommended for someone who i looking to purchase in a tight budget constraint. There are very few youtube videos on this product and therefore I believe this review help can buyers of this product.

Awesome, Cool & Compact
It’s Very Compact in design, Cool As well. The sound Quality Is Very Good Not the Best.
1 Day Uses Of mine Seems to be Good Battery Backup of The Airdopes…
Connectivity is not So Quick it’s a Bit confusing to connect……
Overall I Would Say Best In the Price Range…..
One problem When You are in Call, Just a single touch on the Airdopes my mistake will disconnect your call…..Again, U have to Call the person…..Boat Should Change the function To Long press to disconnect calls when you’re in a call.
Later, I will Review it Again after Using it for Some Months.

Value for money
So I am writing this review after 7 days of use after the usage of the airdrops. So I was looking for truly wireless buds for a very long time on budget of 2k and I do not trust other brands like real me redmi or any other brand in this budget in earphones since I’m using boat products for a very long time and the quality and durability of every item is very good and also the service. so here is my honest review of this particular product.
1 Sound quality-i will give 5 stars
2.bass quality -5 stars the bass is superb
3.built quality-4.5 stars too light in weight and get fit in-ears very well
4.call quality-2.5 stars being honest these earphones are not for calling person there is no feature such as noise cancellation the other person will be able to hear every disturbance in your background and also you have to speak loudly and on the bike, while riding it is not at all possible for the other person to hear you even if you are riding at the speed of 20km/h, however, you can talk on call in the car while gyming running everywhere the call quality is very good from the other end but the other person won’t be able to hear you properly in noise

One of the earbuds ain’t working.
The right earbud stopped working on the same day of delivery. Reported this to Amazon immediately (online of course, they don’t let you talk to the CSR’s) expected them to collect it yesterday as mentioned on my return status but still haven’t heard from them. Bought it for 2,499 bucks and I am unable to use it nor have a solid confirmation on my return. The product sounded okay, fit well, and looks good and I am only disappointed with the fact that they delivered a defective product. Hoping for a resolution soon.

Poor wireless network / Low battery performance
This must look like the best ear dopes when it comes to the pricing but the product is just not worth it.
The sound quality is poor and the Bluetooth does not work efficiently. There is a voice breakage in every 10 seconds on call and the battery performance is worse.
Buying this, not recommended!

Stop this series of True wireless speakers.
Worst boat product. It was an absolute mess of an experience to buy this in the first place and then giving back to the service and got the other series which happened to be upgraded on and guess what another big flaw. I don’t understand why is this still running in the market as I have been getting the same reviews from many of the buyers of the same product.
Please stop this.

GOOD PRODUCT BUT PAINFUL IF USED FOR LONG
It’s been a week since I have been using these airdopes281. The sound quality is good with fair enough bass for casual music and YouTube. But, to be exact enough I must tell you that they are a little big for my ear I am 18 btw, and my ears start to pain if I use them for 20 odd min straight and also it does not have any other attachment for extra support in-ear and thus are risky for sports and related activities.
