boAt Bassheads 152 in Ear Wired Earphones with Mic(Active Black)

I would like to start by saying I'm not an audiophile, therefore my review will be less about the audio quality of the product and more about the over all experience regarding the product. First off, this is my second time buying the product and you guessed it, it's good enough that I will buy it a third time if need be!Upon unboxing we are greeted by the presence of 3 pair of extra ear buds . There is also a pair of ear fins in the packet containing the extra ear buds, these ear fins are used to keep the ear buds snugly in your ears during strenuous periods of use where there is a chance of lots of movement. More on this later.Coming to the ear phones itself, it's among the very few ear phones that genuinely feels premium in hand. It is very durable, specially the plug part that connects to your phone, many a time my ear phones stop working because the plug part malfunctions and causes problems in the functioning of the ear phones. This is not the case with these.The wire itself is made of rubber/silicon. It feels good in hand and the only thing I can think of that could be improved here is to braid the wire but so far the wire hasn't showed any form of wear and tear common with most other ear phone wires. Another thing to emphasize is that the entire cable is flat through out, this genuinely decreases the number of instances where I find myself trying to untangle the wire. This is truly one of the best features of this pair of earphones.Remember I said something about the ear phones being made completely of metal? Well it continues to the mic and the left and right splitter. Both these pieces feel very premium because of the signature cold feeling of metal against skin. I don't know about you but attention to small details like this always brings smiles to my face. It is to be noted that the mic piece is a universal single button type and hence cannot control volume, personally this problem didn't affect me much but the might be potential buyers who might find this to be a deal breaker.Mic quality is subject to individual bias therefore I can tell you my personal experience. In my opinion I feel that the quality is average, it won't blow anyone's mind but it will deliver most of the time. A common complaint I heard from most of my callers that they find it difficult to hear me when there is a significant amount of back ground noise or wind rustling in to the mic, these are common issues even with ear phones price significantly higher than the boAt BassHeads 152Finally the most important part of the review, the sound quality of the ear phones. As I said earlier I won't be going into the technical details . I am a bass lover and that is what led me to buy this pair in the first place. In my opinion I found that the Bass is indeed good but not over powering for the average consumer like how the Extra bass versions of the Sony line up of earphones trend to be. The volume gets sufficiently high and more often than not I use it at less than half it's total volume when listening to music. The clarity of the boAt BassHeads 152 are above par and easily betters even ear phones in the 2000 INR price category this is one other reason why I love this pair so much. A point to remember, as the entire covering of the ear phones is made of metal it is significantly heavier than other ear phones. This becomes a double edged sword, on the one hand the metal makes the ear phones feel very premium but it also makes it significantly heavier than other earphones made of plastic. This causes it to easily fall out of your ears if the supplied fins are not used. The find unlike the ones find in let's say the newer Bose ear phones aren't as comfortable and can hurt your ears if used over a prolonged time.Last but not the least, there are multiple color variants of the boAt BassHeads 152 including red, black and blue. I found myself opting for the black variant both the times this may be a personal opinion but I find it to be the best of the three. That said I do see most corporate consumers opting for the black as it is a neutral color. This leaves out the red, for reasons unknown the red variant is sold at a lower rate on most sites perhaps due to shortage in sales, therefore if you are short on cash and just want a great pair of ear phones then grab these while they last.Pros:1) No metal build2) Excellent wire quality and trendy3) Durable4) Above average sound qualityCons:1) Metal build in the earphones trend to make them heavy and thus falls out of your ear easily2) Supplied Fins are uncomfortable to wear over a prolonged time3) Supplied Clip piece is removable and tends to get lost easilyI hope everyone who read this found it useful and can make an educated decision to buy or not to buy the BassHeads 220. All suggestions are welcome.Thanking you, Dwarakesh

Best earphones purchased in a while, using this for over several months now. it didn't break, sound quality stays the same most of the time. The material is good to feel and sturdy enough for long use. The Fit is really good on of the most comfortable ones in the market, i have them in my ears for hours but i don't feel any pain. The connectivity stays same most of the time but sometimes it glitches that's why i didn't give five stars. The sound glitches only happens rarely only.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered it in June 2021. Today is May 19, 2024. It's still working. Let's review it under various aspects.Mic quality: I have two earphones, this one and the famous realme buds 2. Realme buds 2 comes towards more of sound clarity (trable) and thin voice, so sometimes when you listen full bass songs you'll be disappointed with its base. Where as, boat bassheads 152, is the earphone which gives the perfect balance of voice clarity like realme and signature bass of boat. Believe me I have used this earphone for more than 2.5 years. And it's still giving the same experience.Portability: 4.8 out of 5. You can keep it in pocket, purse, bag etc without worrying about its wire.Fit: 5 out of 5. It has the perfect angle to fit in your ears.Durability: Here I can write an essay, but in short just buy it. June 2021 to may 2024, i am still counting and update when it stops working from any side. Ofc you'll see the tape I have used to protect its wire, which was necessary after use of 1.5 years as it's wire is not fully braded, so you need to take care of upper portion near the eartips. It's 6 months and 10 days using realme buds 2, it's one side has stopped working, I am disappointed because it has fully braded wires, still it fails to impress in terms durability.Comfort and ease of use: 5 out of 5, extremely light weight and easy to fit in your ears, if you are using heavy earphones then you'll love how light it is for your ears. Your ear will thank you for buying it.No product is perfectCons1. You have to take care of upper portion of the wire which is not braded.2. It doesn't easily tangle, but after use of 1 year you'll get trouble in un-tangle it.3. If you compare it with premium earphones then yes its mic quality is not as good as those, but in the range 500-700 this gives one of the best mic quality.4. Unfortunately, poor noise cancellation. I don't mind it btw.I can't even think about the others cons because I am fond of this earphone.

This is my 2nd Boat headset in past month. Purchased 1 for myself and found it to be really good and totally worth the price. Hence purchased one more for my family. Go for it without second thoughts. Tangle free and sturdy cable. Good sound quality. Very comfortable in ear and fits perfectly.

The build quality is good, but the sound can be a little on the lower side.

Good productGood sound quality well balancedGreat deal.

This is a very budget friendly earphone with a best quality bass. The metalic finished buds are very fascinating. But it's all colours are not available. Sorry that you can't choose your favourite. Its pack has no special sticker.

Good earphones for such less price.
