Third-party reviews

What customers like about Boult Audio Boost

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting up to 60-65 hours on a single charge.
  • Punchy and deep bass that appeals to bass-heavy music listeners.
  • Lightweight and ergonomic design with comfortable memory foam ear cushions.
  • Fast and stable Bluetooth connectivity with support for multipoint pairing.
  • Excellent value for money, often cited as a top budget pick under 2000-4000 INR.
  • Dual-mode flexibility allows usage with a braided Aux-cable if the battery dies.

What customers don't like about Boult Audio Boost

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is often described as average or ineffective for loud environments.
  • High clamping force can lead to discomfort or ear fatigue during long listening sessions.
  • Microphone quality is inconsistent, with some users reporting muffled audio on calls.
  • Touch controls can be overly sensitive, leading to accidental command triggers.
  • Lack of a dedicated companion app for EQ customization or firmware updates.
  • Build materials feel mostly plastic, which some users find less premium than expected.

Verdict

The Boult Audio Boost is a feature-rich over-ear wireless headphone designed for deep bass enthusiasts and professionals, featuring 40mm neodymium drivers and BoomX Technology for a bass-boosted sound signature. It offers up to 33dB of Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Zen Mode ENC for clear calls via quad microphones, and a class-leading battery life of up to 65 hours with fast-charging capabilities (10 minutes for 10 hours of playback). Connectivity is handled by Bluetooth 5.4, supporting dual-mode (wired and wireless) use, and it is IPX5 rated for water and sweat resistance. Main pros include its exceptional battery endurance, comfortable memory foam ear cushions, and strong bass performance for its price point. However, some users have noted that the ANC effectiveness can be limited in very loud environments and the lack of a dedicated companion app restricts deeper sound customization.
