Positive Review 1
Value for money, Durable, for music lovers
AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DAILY 1-2 HR USE
PROS:
The sound quality is ear-deafening… u can use it with 70-80% more than that u cant..or u r crazy …
BASS 5/5
I feel the price is affordable.5/5
The wire is very durable 5/5(Wires with nylon outer cover as of I know )
the buttons 5/5
I use it as a daily driver in the gym
it won’t come unless u take it out.
Cons: After using it for 60-70 minutes you will feel slight discomfort due to the ear wing and also you feel discomfort while using it in while on a pillow in bed. ( the ear hooks are detachable) it gives more comfort.
but it is the best-wired headset in the range and it is better than their own 225 headphones…
I highly recommend it for people who need A good bass headphones

All your doubts cleared – Great Buy!!!
This is a product review after using it for straight 2 hours since it just got delivered today.
What an improvement firstly from the boat bassheads 225.
Now, I don’t know what the other negative reviews are about since I personally did not find any issue whatsoever with these infact I am delighted by it.
If you are looking for a well wired earphone and don’t want to spend much then this would be the best budget earphone in the market right now.
Firstly speaking of the body it is plastic and not metallic and so it has become lighter than the previous bassheads so much that after using it for 2 straight hours I almost forgot I had them put on. I just felt the wire could have been a bit thicker but don’t forget the wire is braided and coated with a rubber-like material which should resolve that dilemma.
These come with ear hooks which to my surprise were so comfortable. I usually hate ear hooks cause they hurt after a while but these are just so soft and fit right in.
Moving on to the main purpose and the bigger question “BASS”.
I would say it’s perfect.
The sound quality is so very crisp and clear.
BASS is in the right spot and according to me you don’t need anymore.
You may hear from other reviewers the BASS is not as good as the previous bassheads please understand it depends on what kind of music you listen to and mostly the KBPS which is kilobits per second. The higher the kbps the better the sound including bass and treble.
The loudness is great almost deafening at the highest volume.
To check noise cancellation (although these earphones don’t say noise cancellation) I made a few phone calls and asked if they heard any background noise and they said they could hear little to nothing of what’s happening in the background. Now ofcourse this is in a normal environment and may not cancel the traffic sounds or loud background noise.
The added advantage is the IPX4 sweat and water resistance (you don’t find this feature in most wired earphones atleast not at this price range) which is great especially when you work out or when you are jogging or talking a walk. Although since it is wired you will find discomfort and so may want to get wireless Bluetooth earphones instead.
So here’s how I would rate it on a scale of 1 – 5, 5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest.
Price: 5
Build Quality: 4.5 ( Only cause I think the wire could have been a little thicker)
Loudness: 5
Call Quality: 5
Bass: 5 (The bass is just perfect if any more bass than this you’d better be putting your ears on a loudspeaker).
Hope this clarifies your doubts about this product.
All in all yet another great product from BOAT and you won’t regret the purchase.

Best headphone in this price range.
This is the true earphone to connect you to nirvana not for longer times because it starts pain in the ear after a long time of continuous use.
Bass- at the price of 450, the bass is terrible. You will get powerful bass than you expect.
Sound- if a headphone has poor sound, it is not a headphone. But this one has the sound that will blow your mind totally.
Noise cancellation- in the price range of 400-500 no brand will give you perfect noise cancellation headphones, but in boat bassheads, there is noise cancellation but not so good.
Overall- if you have 500 rs. And you are searching for the beast headphone in you budget and if you are reading reviews, and if you are reading this one, I am telling you to go for it without hesitation because after a long research on 2 shopping sites I found the product best in my price range. (i bought it for 450).

Best. Using it for a month now!
Best for me. If you fall in the middle category, where you don’t want the best of the best earphones but also don’t want the worst, go for this.
Earbuds don’t fall from my ears! My ears are kind of weird. Like Amir Khan (lol). (I have had a bad past with regards to this with my previous earphones).
The bass is good. Sound clarity is also good. Some experts may say the vocal clarity is overshadowed by the bass, but I am okay with that.
The clip is very useful in preventing the earbuds from falling. I clip it on my collar.
The cable strength is also good. The cable got pulled twice by accident, and nothing happened to the earphones.
The mic is also good. I use these earphones to listen to music, watch YouTube, calling, send and listen to voice notes, etc.
Best. Cheers!
Don’t think too much 🙂

Everything Was Totally Truly L!T … Awesome for listening only because it gives Equalize song
It was just an awesome set of earphones with accurate frequency point to listen to a song … Just replacing the ear caps, change the tune & frequency for the listener …
In small pair of ear caps, you can hear pure Crystal Clear voice & only its focus on voice
In medium pair of ear caps, u get a sense of Equalize bass, drums, voice (as per song u have/make)
In large if it will fit in your ear it will give u complete sense of isolation of song like a large hall
It works like as per a high-Quality headset become sounds as per there change of Pad Cushion … It’s awesome to have it … Try it u gonna make sure it senses something else in every different ear pads

After almost1 a week right earplug isn’t working properly and they are causing so much pain in the ears
Before these earphones, I used the basic Samsung earphones which were 5 years old.
And I am writing this review after 3 days of usage, daily for 3-4 hours.
Pros: 1- Crystal clear & loud sound. 5/5
2- Amazing bass. 5/5
3-Call quality is fine. 4/5
4- The wires are braided which makes them more durable. 5/5
One of the most amazing features is that you get sound control buttons in these earphones which work like a charm.
Cons:1- After continuous use for 45-60 minutes, they cause pain in the ears.
2- They are MADE IN CHINA. I didn’t know it before.
Edit: After daily usage of almost 1 week, the right earplug is not working properly and they are causing a hell of a lot of pain and itchiness on the ear.
I am reducing the rating from 4 stars to 1. Also, I have applied for replacement.
I really wish, somehow refund would be possible, as I don’t want to waste 500 Rs.

Bass is too overpowering
Okay, some people may differ but in my opinion, the bass is too much. So much that it overpowers all the other aspects of the song. If you’re into EDM where it’s basically bass and…. just bass, then I guess it’s a good fit. But if you want to hear another genre of music, then I would advise you not to buy this product. The bass is just painful and I had to return the product and buy Sennheiser CX180 instead. It’s too good for the price range.

Unhappy with the poor built-up quality
By look and sound, it was good
But it has a very poor quality of wire which has been a problem of BOat.
This is my 3rd boat earphone which one side is stopped working… replacement earphone quality is also of the same quality usually lasts for 1-2 months only.
it has zero noise cancellation don’t think about taking calls using it

Worse
My second Boat earphone also stops working within three months. What is this, and there is no response from your side regarding my first earphone replacement from many days (ticket no. 1154217)
You guys are not responding to my complaint, is this way to deal with your customers. Your call center is not picking up calls. You give a warranty on your product and when I claim for warranty you stop responding to me. I bought two earphones and both are not working. bad product… After three months of use, it will show different types of problems. And there is no response from the company when you go for a warranty. I have two same earphones and within 3 months both are not working.

No treble no surround. The bass is good.
I was confused about whether I should return or not. I have done the sound test on this boat earphone and I compared it with JBL. I tried to see the difference in the same music. I am going to do a sound test on Vivo earphones. I tried to use both earphones on the Vivo s1 phone.
Pros (why you should buy)
1. Good bass(bass lover should like it)
2. Awesome wire quality. Tangle-free, durable, and beautiful.
3. 1-year warranty
4.You can remove the sports cap if you are not using it for sports
Cons(not to buy)
1. Treble is 0. No treble. Bass treble should have balance. Sound quality decreased. It looks someone is pressing the neck of the singer.
2. There is no surround sound. The earphones with surround sound give pleasure. The left music should play in the left earphones and right in the right earphone. It is lacking.
3.if boat Will works on the above two points. This earphone will be awesome.
4. The earphone is not comfortable for long time music. You have to remove the cap. The boat should release half-earphones like apple and Vivo. The earphone is comfortable after removing the cap.
