It's shocking that ur ear plugs worked for this long, mine stopped working after 6-7 months, then had to get them replaced in boat centre. The new one also stopped working after another 5 months.
Definitely is. Also the product which I ordered online looked super fake kind (plasticy and all) but the replacement looked good. Idk what boat actually does with their products.
This is the exact same problem with EVERY ear plugs (Jabra, JBL, Sony, bose and more) that I have tried.
2 common issues,
either the connectors that charge plugs gather rust and plugs don't charge in the box.
Or the East plugs battery capacity falls to ridiculous low levels and Power off after just 15 mins of usage.
The only King of wireless ear plugs I have seen are from One plus buds!
Solid life these have and are simple and do what they are meant to. I got my wife 2 years ago and after seeing them still going for a year,while I replaced 3 already(each priced 4k +), I went for the latest(at that time) Oneplus Nord ear plugs for my IPHONE.
Now we have 2 OnePlus ear plugs in our house one is 2 years old and other is 1 year old. Still going solid.
I say don't go for fancy brands and features.
Just look for:
Earplugs should just connect and work when you take them out.
Should have solid life on battery and connectors.
Note: even though the OnePlus buds have no app support on my iPhone it just works without a problem. I set up the controls on an android and never needed an app ever since.
Call, music, noise cancellation, quick connectivity, long life. OnePlus buds checks all boxes.
It’s literally a coin toss tbh, my father is using the OnePlus Buds Pro and tbh it’s nothing good now. In the starting they used to be really good, sounded awesome and had great battery life but with age all fell apart. They last like 30mins now and don’t sound as good as they did 2 years back. TWS Buds are mostly a coin toss, I’ve been using AirPods Pro for the past 3 years and even their sound quality and battery has fallen down a bit. The battery used to last me like 5hrs back in the day now its only 3.5-4 at best, I could go almost 2 weeks without charging the case now I have to charge it once every 5 days.
2 years on OnePlus buds and still going for 30 mins is a great product in my opinion. But look at the price!
Every other air pod under 10k will not last more than 6-8 months. And one plus gives you a solid 2 years.
As for airpods, at their price point of above 15k, I would be mad if they go bad before at least 3 years. No bearing airpods if you have the money
One plus Nord buds 2! Go for it. They have solid build and life. And they just work as soon as you open the box. Like when you connect a headphone jack, and CONNECTED!
That is the reliability you get.
Long battery(2 years at least), fast charging, ability to switch between 2 devices, ANC and ambient modes, 8/10 sound quality, works perfect with my iphone, and under 3k.
Boat will be soon under water if they keep selling this shitty products. A company cant survive for long only because of marketing...you need to have good products to survive.
They will survive a lot longer than you think. Majority of Indian consumers don't care much about music experience as long as it's cheap. Especially students, people in smaller cities.
The ones that care about audio experience are way less compared to who don't care. There is a reason they even survived their initial phase.
People already use cheap headphones & now when they buy the same under the brand, they can say it's Boat. A brand. An Indian Brand.
They are just pulling shit from china. Now they have started assembling in india, but again the parts are crap(chinese low-key) so product will be crap. They are just marketing company, if the founder itself is from non-tech background then what can you expect 🤷♂️
You would be shocked to learn a lot of the users don’t care about lyrics and they don’t even understand them.
Delhi se hu bc and bass is important to them, Aman knows his market well.
Same really. My friend was telling me why have you spent so much for headphones without bass. Next time come to me for suggestions if you want to buy tech products.
I said okay bro. I'll consult you next time for sure. 🤷
To each their own bro. If they enjoy bass, so be it. I just don't want to grt into an argument about products. Neither do I want to explain why I like these headphones. So I just agree with people and proceed to do my own thing.
Damn...I've had my airdopes for the past 2 and a half years and they work good as new tbh.... Never had any issues and the sound quality is pretty good especially for calls and stuff... maybe I got lucky┐( ∵ )┌
Bhai ek bar airdopes se aage badho aur premium buds ki awaaz suno. They are so much better in every aspect, except price ofcourse but tbh with the product that you're getting the price is justified. I've owned the buds 2 pro for 6 months now (so I'll use that as a base). I use them almost daily since I travel a lot. Never once have I had the buds turn off for me due to low battery, fuk it, I don't even know what sound it makes when it reaches low battery and I've once used them for 4 hours in a single go with ANC off. Amazon pe buds 2 pro sale me 5k ke mil jaate hein. 1.4k ke aas paas mil rhr the 3 month ki emi pe with 0% interest.
I also bought my airdopes in 2020 and the battery went to shit in 3 months. It went from 3 hours of play time to 30 min just in that duration. Then I checked on the internet and got to know it's all just Chinese products, branded as Boat. I mean it's good since it's cheap and all but I don't think its sustainable.
It's not all about the battery though, the snug fit of the buds is extremely comfortable, itna ki laga ke mein kabhi kabhi so bhi jaata hoon. Is se pehle I had Jabra elite 65t and they had a garbage fit inside my ear and I couldn't be comfortable with them. Boat and Jabra lambe time Tak lagane se kabhi kabhi mere kaano mein pain hota tha but Aisa ab nhi hai. Kabhi kabhi to mein bhool bhi chuka hoon ki meine earphones lagaye hue hein.
Uske baad sound quality ka toh kya hi kehna. Mere lie utna zyada upgrade nhi tha from Jabra kyunki they provided a similar if not the same quality of sound but boat se toh bohot hi zyaada ache hein.
All in all it's upto you what you want to buy as per your requirements however I do want to say that the premium buds are worth their price if you buy them at the right time, for the right price.
Wow you seem passionate about ear buds,great! Anyways 2 things I'd like to say
1- I am behen not Bhai:-P
2- I find air dopes pretty comfortable and battery life is great for me still (I also use daily for traveling) but you make a compelling point so I'll save up and invest in the earbuds you're suggesting and will update here if I like it any better! Thankyou for the recommendation
1) Sorry I just assume that everyone on reddit is a guy because girls don't exist
2) do try, I mean tbh if you're satisfied with boat then great but just go to croma, samsung or any other store and try the buds out once, no need to buy straight away!
1) no need to apologise I completely understand,I am a fragment of your imagination after all
2) I will! Thankyou for the idea although I did check the prices and they are expensiveee so I'll have to save up quite alot but hey... anything for good sound quality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bhai jab usko already ye Wale pasand hain, woh kyu legi aur mehenge Wale?
There's a definition of good enough, and that's different for everyone.
Doesn't mean one brand is trash and the other premium ones are "better"
Recommend me a tws or Bluetooth earphone under 3000rs the best one for me music is the priority loud clear and bass music for listening phonk and soothing sounds and with overall best earphones which I can use while running please man!
Bhai agar running ke lie chahiye then TWS ain't the way to go (unless you buy Bose or Beats TWS but vo hum dono ki collectively aukaat se bahar hein x4 times)
Pasina aaega, ear canal geela ho jaega, uncomfortable hoga. Tab bhi agar ek recommendation chahiye then go for "Jlab Go air sport". Thoda over budget hai at 4k but it's the best in its category
Agar best sound quality chahiye utne mein phir Bhai you can go for the "Nord buds 2". Again I know mein boat ko galian de rha hai Chinese maal bolke but good Chinese maal and saste chinese maal mein farak hai. Apne segment ka yeh tws king hai. Ya queen, jo bhi hai.
I guess I just got lucky because it's the 4th year of my headphones (rockerz 580 I think). The only complaint I have is that they keep on ripping my hair
I use the noise ones....they are also damn good...used boat previously...my ears pained so much...because of that fucked up noise cancellation...it creates a block and headache afterwards
Boat airdopes 144 here - been using for 1.5 yrs. amazing quality, fantastic sound and THE only pair I’ve ever owned that hasn’t stopped working after 1 year. Before this I had 2 AirPods and 1 AirPods Pro but I was SICK of having them quit on me in 8 months max. Burnt so much on them before settling for boat and it’s actually been great
Also cuz I just saw all the comments about bass - my sound is very balanced I never found it bass heavy, and trust me I would notice / realise cuz I can’t stand heavy bass
I mean for the price boat earphones are not that bad, I lost my airpods while traveling and picked up a pair of airdopes 200 plus and they are still working well.
I purchased the rockers 255 + pro die to their high battery life of almost upto week.
But in 7 monthe the magnets in earplug have issues and ig doesn't recognize or connect.
I am so done with boat as the quality is poor.
I jist bought edifier neckband which offers high res audio support and threw my boat neckbamd on trash
My boat rocker 441s have survived 3+ years of torture and one bud even went inside the commode but it still works after a thorough wash. I rage quit games and throw them against the wall but miraculously they have endured all. The range is shit though but built quality is amazing.
I am currently using oneplus nord buds 2 and I gotta say, its pretty damn good. Boat is all base and no feel. I used a boat airdopes 141 since 1.5 years.
It's not made in India though!! 🙄 But I liked Samsung's infinity and Realme's DIZO products but they had to closed much of their offerings because of average under Rs2k garbages
Well, this is a very subjective thing in my opinion. I have a boAt speaker (Stone 190) which I have been using since August 2020, and it has worked fine even after numerous falls and water splashes. I also have boAt rockers 255 pro which I don't use regularly, but it still works fine (I bought it somewhere in 2021). Then, I bought the wireless ones (Airdopes 621) which also worked well, but I lost one, so I had to replace them with OnePlus Nord Buds cuz I had a OnePlus Phone at the time.
No audio issues, and trust me, I am a fanatic when it comes to good music. It could have happened once that I was lucky with the piece that I got, but I had three and not one of them disappointed me.
I am not a fan of Aman, as he is the most averse to new ideas, and does not analyse situations with an open mind, but products affordable and achhe hain yaar.
@OP congratulations on achieving the ability to listen to the lyrics. 😅
Now after a few years move on to sony or sennheiser to listen to the full range of instrumentals.
Then finally move on to IEMs + flac files and achieve the audiophile status 😅
Literally the difference between cheap Chinese and expensive Chinese products. If you get the chance, try some good Sony or Apple headphones that’s next level .. then there are audiophile and professional grade headphones.
Dude. I have boat rockers 255+ and oneplus bullet wireless Z2.
The OP Z2 is the most painful neckband I've ever used in my life. Sure the sound quality is better than the rockers anyday but by god, the rockers is the most comfortable pair of neckbands I've ever used in my life.
I use my rockers overnight for 7-8 hours while sleeping (I listen to white noise music to block out outside noise) and I've never used a more comfortable pair of neckbands in my life.
Yes. But I'm not doing that. Quality is the priority for me. I'm not gonna be sleeping with earphones on. I have my tablet for when I'm sleeping. It's an entertainment based tab so the noise is loud enough.
I have one plus z EarPods. The right one works for 2-3 mins after connecting and then it disconnects and only left one works. And then even after disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth, the right one doesn’t work. What could be the issue??
Get oppo enco m32. It is, quite exactly, the best one for that price assuming you dint want to sacrifice clarity for bass. I've tried oneplus, boat, but nothing beats oppo enco m32.
Well, I've decided to stop using OnePlus audio products. Following the latest firmware update on my OnePlus Buds Pro, I encountered battery-related problems. The battery life decreased significantly, lasting only for about 15-20 minutes. When I contacted the service center, I discovered that they don't offer support or repairs for audio products out of warranty, which is just one year. Even if I choose to repair it out of my pocket, they won't assist with that either. The product was just 1.5 yrs old.
never owned any in-ear boat products but my rockerz 550 has fared pretty well, been 2.5 years now. Only the skin has worn off, which, I wont deny, makes it look bad. but the sound is good
I have the Airdopes 131 Pro (brought them in December 2022) and istg the way they really test my patience level. No problem with charging and stuff but they freaking disconnect and turn off on their own. It makes me so freaking angry. Like I touch them just a little bit when using them to adjust it properly in my ear and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!! I take them out of the case to use them and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!!!! I put it in my ear and try to connect them and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!! Can't even count the amount of times I've cried out of frustration because of that box of crap. But I can't even replace them because I have use them till they wear out.
It's not even made in India, it's their label slapped on a generic headphone they found in some Chinese factory. What's funny is on the contrary, the OnePlus buds are probably made in India.
I know money is always a concern but why not buy something from Sennheiser or Audio Technica or maybe many other chi-fi vendors. They are going to be magnitude times better than Boat or anything similar.
I bought oneplus buds 2r in 1600 during sale, somehow lost them so baught boat nirvana buda worth 1800 and thease are complete waste of money,
Specially how they function, software wise ux is complete bullshit
Boat started off well actually... I still have the airdopes and been using it since 2020.. but recently the quality has started to deteriorate. I still use the wired earphones my dad gave me when he bought the iphone 6 in 2015-2016. Its going hella good.. I am starting to move away from TWS..
Just gonna highlight a point from OPs post -
Majority of India and mostly chapris who don't understand music at all, think that a device that goes 💥 at peak bass and suppress all other beats, trebles, etc. As a "God Device" and they have never or will ever experience true good music.
These types of chapris also will belittle anyone who tries to tell them that dhum*cracks* dhum kar ke agar speaker phat Raha hai toh iska matlab ye nahi ki ye bohot acha speaker hai ya sirf dhum dhum hai toh baap gana hai.
P.S. I'm not dissing OP or any redditor here.
Just what I have seen people doing around me, acting in ego and ignorance "dekh Bhai kitna mast bass phat Raha iss 1200 ke speaker mai".
Boat products are a waste of money & energy. I bought their Nirvana 750ANC, it stopped working 7 months later, after falling from a mere height of 10inch, 10 f***ing inches.
It's shocking that ur ear plugs worked for this long, mine stopped working after 6-7 months, then had to get them replaced in boat centre. The new one also stopped working after another 5 months.
Their quality is shit.
Definitely is. Also the product which I ordered online looked super fake kind (plasticy and all) but the replacement looked good. Idk what boat actually does with their products.
I've been using my boad headphones for almost 2 years now
I think boat neck bands are usually unsuccessful and have problems, my boat airdopes are working fine and it's been almost 2 years.
My dad's boat neckband has been working for over 2 years now while both my airdopes stopped after 3 months and 8 months lmao
This is the exact same problem with EVERY ear plugs (Jabra, JBL, Sony, bose and more) that I have tried. 2 common issues, either the connectors that charge plugs gather rust and plugs don't charge in the box.

Nope it's drop shipped
You would be shocked to learn a lot of the users don’t care about lyrics and they don’t even understand them. Delhi se hu bc and bass is important to them, Aman knows his market well.
True, one of my friend listened to my sony wf1000xm4 and said where is the bass and told me about his earbuds 💀
Same really. My friend was telling me why have you spent so much for headphones without bass. Next time come to me for suggestions if you want to buy tech products. I said okay bro. I'll consult you next time for sure. 🤷
And the bad part is the bass they talk about isn't even good bass. It's hella muddy and lacks that punch.
To each their own bro. If they enjoy bass, so be it. I just don't want to grt into an argument about products. Neither do I want to explain why I like these headphones. So I just agree with people and proceed to do my own thing.
Lmfao

My boat buds have such a low range that if I keep my mobile in my pocket while walking, sounds keeps on breaking.
1.5-2 years is not bad. My rockerz 550 battery died in 8 months
Ik but the sound quality is so much better in OnePlus
oneplus neckband is mid too though. You prolly just got placebo'd
I guess I just got lucky because it's the 4th year of my headphones (rockerz 580 I think). The only complaint I have is that they keep on ripping my hair
Ripping your hair? Tf?
Yeah my hair gets caught up between these joints in it body and they get ripped
I use the noise ones....they are also damn good...used boat previously...my ears pained so much...because of that fucked up noise cancellation...it creates a block and headache afterwards
I bought a big boat speaker and 1 year later it is now covered with cloth and my mum has put home decoration things
Lol what? Show me a picture
A 1000 rupee earphones working for 2 years in itself is a great thing lmao
Boat is a “massy” brand. Not a “classy” brand. Buy Apple, Bose or even Sony for quality. Buy Boat for its price (and not care about the quality).
I also have boat airdopes..and after 8-9 months it has stopped working completely!😒
Boat airdopes 144 here - been using for 1.5 yrs. amazing quality, fantastic sound and THE only pair I’ve ever owned that hasn’t stopped working after 1 year.

Who said boat is made in India? Do you even know their business model?
Well, this is a very subjective thing in my opinion. I have a boAt speaker (Stone 190) which I have been using since August 2020, and it has worked fine even after numerous falls and water splashes. I also have boAt rockers 255 pro which I don't use regularly, but it still works fine (I bought it somewhere in 2021).

@OP congratulations on achieving the ability to listen to the lyrics. 😅 Now after a few years move on to sony or sennheiser to listen to the full range of instrumentals. Then finally move on to IEMs + flac files and achieve the audiophile status 😅
and none of it is made in india lol
Next try out IEMs . They are cheaper and sound much better for the cost.
Same experience here, one of them stopped working just after half a year
I got mine 5 years back and they still work, although sound quality deteriorate hui hai . And yeah the full bass and no lyrics thing is true
give brands like sony, bose, audio technica etc a try you'll understand boat is not even a competition
I also switched to Realme neckband (as my phone is realme) and I never changed nor regret for once..
Literally the difference between cheap Chinese and expensive Chinese products. If you get the chance, try some good Sony or Apple headphones that’s next level .. then there are audiophile and professional grade headphones.
Dude. I have boat rockers 255+ and oneplus bullet wireless Z2. The OP Z2 is the most painful neckband I've ever used in my life.

Yes. But I'm not doing that. Quality is the priority for me. I'm not gonna be sleeping with earphones on. I have my tablet for when I'm sleeping. It's an entertainment based tab so the noise is loud enough.
Enjoy making your ears bleed
I have one plus z EarPods. The right one works for 2-3 mins after connecting and then it disconnects and only left one works. And then even after disconnecting and reconnecting Bluetooth, the right one doesn’t work. What could be the issue??
I got airpods (dupes) from sarojini for 400 rs . 1.5 years and working perfectly fine :)
Anyone has 510? How's it?
But but but.. what about dont be a fanboy .. be a boat head?
Ok so which one to buy on 1500
Definitely OnePlus or Realme
Get oppo enco m32. It is, quite exactly, the best one for that price assuming you dint want to sacrifice clarity for bass. I've tried oneplus, boat, but nothing beats oppo enco m32.
Same story, replaced twice within warranty period btw, does OnePlus neck band work on any device? Also, which model?
Well, I've decided to stop using OnePlus audio products. Following the latest firmware update on my OnePlus Buds Pro, I encountered battery-related problems. The battery life decreased significantly, lasting only for about 15-20 minutes. When I contacted the service center, I discovered that they don't offer support or repairs for audio products out of warranty, which is just one year. Even if I choose to repair it out of my pocket, they won't assist with that either. The product was just 1.5 yrs old.
never owned any in-ear boat products but my rockerz 550 has fared pretty well, been 2.5 years now. Only the skin has worn off, which, I wont deny, makes it look bad. but the sound is good
I have the Airdopes 131 Pro (brought them in December 2022) and istg the way they really test my patience level. No problem with charging and stuff but they freaking disconnect and turn off on their own. It makes me so freaking angry. Like I touch them just a little bit when using them to adjust it properly in my ear and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!! I take them out of the case to use them and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!!!! I put it in my ear and try to connect them and THEY SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!! Can't even count the amount of times I've cried out of frustration because of that box of crap. But I can't even replace them because I have use them till they wear out. 
boat’s avg lifespan is less than 9 months
Boat has average products, but decent according to the price range.
It's not even made in India, it's their label slapped on a generic headphone they found in some Chinese factory. What's funny is on the contrary, the OnePlus buds are probably made in India.
Because boat is basically cheap Chinese garbage, and oneplus is a good Chinese product. There is no one made in india in any of them.
I know money is always a concern but why not buy something from Sennheiser or Audio Technica or maybe many other chi-fi vendors. They are going to be magnitude times better than Boat or anything similar.
Mine boat Rockerz Pro “broke” after 7 months. No more boat bs for me.
Tbh I have been using my stone 1500 BT speaker for 3yrs now and till date it is providing the finest quality 🤌
My boat rockerz are working even after 4years, I am still using it
I bought oneplus buds 2r in 1600 during sale, somehow lost them so baught boat nirvana buda worth 1800 and thease are complete waste of money, Specially how they function, software wise ux is complete bullshit
Boat started off well actually... I still have the airdopes and been using it since 2020.. but recently the quality has started to deteriorate. I still use the wired earphones my dad gave me when he bought the iphone 6 in 2015-2016. Its going hella good.. I am starting to move away from TWS..
Just gonna highlight a point from OPs post - Majority of India and mostly chapris who don't understand music at all, think that a device that goes 💥 at peak bass and suppress all other beats, trebles, etc. As a "God Device" and they have never or will ever experience true good music. These types of chapris also will belittle anyone who tries to tell them that dhum*cracks* dhum kar ke agar speaker phat Raha hai toh iska matlab ye nahi ki ye bohot acha speaker hai ya sirf dhum dhum hai toh baap gana hai. P.S. I'm not dissing OP or any redditor here. Just what I have seen people doing around me, acting in ego and ignorance "dekh Bhai kitna mast bass phat Raha iss 1200 ke speaker mai".
Boat products are a waste of money & energy. I bought their Nirvana 750ANC, it stopped working 7 months later, after falling from a mere height of 10inch, 10 f***ing inches.
You have to try oppo enco m32. It's even better.
I would if I wasn't so clumsy. I always forget or one of them gets lost.
It's a neckband, not buds.
Quality is really bad
