Verdict

The boAt Bassheads 100 are budget-friendly in-ear wired headphones featuring 10mm dynamic drivers that deliver a punchy 'Super Extra Bass' sound signature with a frequency response of 20Hz–20KHz. With a low impedance of 16Ω and a sensitivity of 92dB, they are easily driven by most smartphones via a 1.2m tangle-free cable and a standard 3.5mm jack. Key characteristics include a unique 'Hawk-inspired' design, a built-in HD microphone for clear calls, and a single-button inline remote for media control. Main pros include their lightweight build, comfortable fit with multiple ear tip sizes, and excellent value for money. However, cons include a lack of dedicated volume control buttons, a plasticky build that may feel fragile, and noticeable cable noise (microphonics) during movement.
