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.
