In a market teeming with options for truly wireless earbuds, the Boult W50 TWS earbuds emerge as an enticing budget-friendly choice. Packed with a host of features and a modest price tag of Rs 1,399, these earbuds present themselves as a compelling audio companion for those on a budget. I had the chance to review these for a couple of weeks and here is what I think.
Design and Build Quality
Let's start with the design and build quality. Right off the bat, it's evident that the Boult W50 TWS earbuds prioritise affordability over premium materials. The case, in particular, feels rather cheap and flimsy. The thin and somewhat fragile top lid can be a bit of a hassle to open initially. However, considering the price point of Rs 1,399, some compromises in build quality are expected.
Audio Performance
Moving on to audio performance, the Boult W50 earbuds boast 13mm bass drivers, and they deliver decent sound quality. Audio during calls is clear and crisp, making these earbuds suitable for hands-free conversations. The music quality is loud and clear, though some users might find it a bit flat, lacking the depth and richness that more premium earbuds offer. Nevertheless, for the price, the audio quality is commendable.
Noise Cancellation
One of the standout features of these earbuds is the AI Environmental Noise Cancellation. While it's not top-tier in noise cancellation, it performs adequately for its price range. It's effective at reducing ambient noise, making it suitable for everyday use.
Connectivity and Controls
One of the highlights of the Boult W50 earbuds is their fast and hassle-free pairing, which I really liked. These earbuds quickly sync with your device without the need for third-party apps, simplifying the user experience.
The touch controls on the earbuds are versatile, allowing users to perform various functions such as pausing or playing music, adjusting volume, answering calls and activating voice assistants with ease.
Battery Life
Battery life is a strong point for the Boult W50 TWS earbuds. Boult claims a total battery life of up to 50 hours on a single charge and the ability to provide 150 minutes of playtime with just a 10-minute charge. With low to medium usage, you might find yourself going for weeks without needing to recharge them.
Water Resistance
The IPX5 water resistance rating ensures that these earbuds can withstand splashes and light rain, adding to their durability and versatility.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Boult W50 TWS earbuds offer a lot of value for their affordable price of Rs 1,399. They provide decent audio quality, reliable noise cancellation, impressive battery life, and quick pairing, all wrapped up in a budget-friendly package. However, the compromise in build quality, particularly with the case, might be a deterrent for some users. If you can overlook the flimsy case, these earbuds are a solid choice for those on a budget who still want a decent audio experience.
