What we like about boAt Bassheads 235 V2

  • Punchy bass and decent sound quality for the price point
  • Impressive battery life, lasting up to 4-6 days on standby or 12-14 hours of playback
  • Fast charging capabilities and convenient call vibration alerts
  • Lightweight, ergonomic neckband design suitable for gym and outdoor activities
  • Effective passive noise isolation and tangle-free flat cables

What we don't like about boAt Bassheads 235 V2

  • Concerns over long-term reliability, with reports of mic and button failures within months
  • Connectivity issues, including frequent Bluetooth disconnections and audio-video lag during dual pairing
  • Mixed reviews on sound clarity, with some users finding the volume too low or treble lacking
  • Build quality concerns, specifically regarding thin wiring and potential for one earbud to stop working
  • Distortion sometimes occurring during outdoor use or when moving the connected phone

Verdict

The boAt Bassheads 235 V2 is a wired in-ear headphone with 10mm dynamic drivers, a 20Hz-20kHz frequency range, and 16-ohm impedance for easy use with everyday mobile devices. Its key features include a lightweight metal housing, a flat tangle-resistant cable, and an inline remote with microphone for calls and music control over a standard 3.5mm jack. Main advantages are solid passive noise isolation, punchy bass for the price, and comfortable everyday portability. Downsides include the lack of active noise cancellation, a non-detachable cable, and long-term durability that may be only average with heavy use.
