boAt Airdopes 441 True Wireless in Ear Earbuds with mic, Upto 30 Hours Playback, Signature Sound, IWP Technology, IPX7, BT v5.0, Type-c Interface and Capacitive Touch Controls(Bumblebee Yellow)

If you are a fan of bass like I am, hell, you are gonna love these airdopes. I have been using Boat products for a while and haven't gone unsatisfied even if I feel the durability of said products could have been more. Sometimes, one earbuds stop to work. Happened many times. I had a boat 225 and then a Boat 255 Pro. But they had got one thing in common -- BASS. I'm a basshead and Boat products are a sure shot recommend.Of late, I had been researching a lot of true wireless earbuds. I checked out several including Redmi Earbuds S, MI TWS Earbuds, Blaupunkt BTW-01, Realme Earbuds X TWS, and a few others. I settled, however, on Boat 441 Airdopes as I have built this trust factor with Boat products and am very skeptical of going to any other, especially Boat really offers their audio equipments at an affordable price. I watched a lot of reviews for these Airdopes and settled on it finally. I am usually a paranoid person, but I am glad to say that I am satisfied at the moment with what I have purchased.This is a 3-day usage review. I will edit this review as I pass the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month marks. On the basis of my usage, I will let you know why I recommend it.Let me talk about the Amazon delivery first. Contactless and on time delivery even in these pandemic times. So, salute to the delivery heroes who are functioning even in these risky and dangerous times. Salute boss!The box came with a charging case that had two earbuds inside it, an advertisement foldable pamphlet, a USB Type-C cable, an instruction manual and a plastic case of two extra earbuds and hooks.The earbuds were at 80% charge when it arrived, but I had it charged full as soon as I opened the case. At 100% audio volume, the airdopes have been lasting me about 3 hours and 45 minutes, which is decent for this price. The buds fit extremely well, except that they have fallen off a couple of time (but that maybe because of my ears). However, I have no complaints because I really think I didn't insert them into my ears fully and that's why they fell. Regardless, they are also comfortable and even after 3.5 hours, I haven't felt any discomfort or pain. So, all in all the quality of the earbuds (premium plastic) is awesome. I will give it a 4.5/5 for comfort and build quality.Note: After 20-days of usage, I have no complaint regarding the fit. Although they do seem to come out sometimes when your ears get too sweaty. So, moisture might cause them to come out. But it has only been a rare moment they did. I live in Mumbai, a humid city, and I haven't seen them come out a lot. But it did come out a couple of times during one workout.The charging case is premium quality too. It charges to full capacity in about two hours, which is good. It has a neat finish to it. I love the black on it and the red inside. Yes, I bought the Raging Red option. Boat only has black and red for now. More colors will be coming according to their Facebook page. However, I have always loved red.Inside the charging case, the earbuds have their own slots. Magnets are perfect.I wish the battery in both the earbuds lasted more than 4 hours but that's what they tell us in their features list. So, it gave me exactly that. It does its job, but I wish it had a 6 hour playback at least. But then for this price, maybe it is worth it. I think this is where Boat lacks. It provides a minimum playback compared to its competitors.Note: After 20 days of usage, I felt that the touch sensitivity could be better. The one-touch pause and play works for music player but doesn't work for Netflix and Prime and other apps. Which is weird. It starts music player again if song is in player queue. Maybe if I do a factory reset, it will be better. Will let you know regarding this. It might be a problem with mine alone because a few days ago, the touch sensitivity was awesome. Regardless, the sensitivity is still top-notch. I am finding the functionality confusing.Battery Life: 4/5Coming to calling, I think it did its job good. I could hear the other person's voice clearly. And I could hear him too. So I will give it a 4.5/5.Note: I'd not recommend this for calling but it does its job. Noise cancellation is decent.Lastly, I am coming to the best aspect of these airdopes. The Sound quality. Bass is just awesome. Trebles and mids are decent. Vocals are good. I just enjoy listening to the songs on these airdopes. The beats are awesome. They are more or less similar to Boat 255 Pro Bluetooth, maybe even slightly better. So, sound quality, 5/5.Overall, I think this is the best true wireless buds you can find on a shoestring budget. Fit, quality, sound, noise cancellation, all good. Affordable too. So, I do recommend these airdopes if you are looking for something in the price range of 1.5k INR - 3.5k INR.Note: Boat Airdopes 441 and 451 are not much different. So, just the color.And ah yes, forgot, these airdopes have got IPx6 waterproofing. I haven't tested it as yet and don't want to risk it, but I gather that it will protect the buds from sweat and water droplets. :)Note: I am now 7 months into using this. The earphones still work with the same quality as received. However, there's a little glitch. Whenever the battery percentage drops by 10 or 20 per cent, it seems to disconnect. It reconnects automatically, but it can get annoying. Doesn't happen every time, but there's a frequency. Tried calling on these earphones as well. Good quality. Earphones run for at least 3.5 hours and a single battery charge for the case gives at least 3-4 charges. So, all in all, good.

Honest review : Very excited to get this product. The sound was good, size was compact yet fit, I didn’t feel it in my ears as it’s light. Overall, I get it was a good pair of earbuds. But after sometime’s use , I understood that the Bluetooth connectivity was really very poor. Can’t keep the phone in the pocket, can’t keep it even a metre away, so , as the product says, working out with the earbuds is difficult. So this is the only and main problem with this. I don’t feel any other major problemEdit : After almost 2 yrs of useStill running as a horse! Still strong and still good! Surprisingly,The bluetooth connectivity issue that I mentioned at first was never felt again, as it was normal.After around 6 months of buying, the blue one in the photos' left bud wouldn't charge in the case. I claimed warranty and got a fresh new piece ( although it was black/grey). But now it's been used for over 1.5 yrs and so far, so good.I have an apple Airpods 1st gen too, and as you know, those have one of the worst design in terms of comfort. But my airdopes is very sturdy, very light and comfy. Audio comparison( although its dumb to compare a 10000 rs product and a 2499₹ product), boAt did a fairly great job with these! The bass, the clarity, was excellent. Some people would prefer more loudness, but for normal users, its high quality audio!Would have been nice if they made Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on a budget in this...😉Just kidding guysss, come on, its a budget tws earphones!Overall, for below 2500, I say, just GO FOR IT!edit: After completing 3 years of use : This earbud amazes me! I hear to music for around an hour in the morning and then in the evening from the college busdaily, and it is just too good! even without ANC, the bud is tight fit, so noise is significantly reduced, and audio is good! the loudness is a tiny bit on the lower side, but ou wouldn't even notice until you try other very loud buds. charging and battery is surprisingly working very well, i only charge it once a week, or more.I had given it a guarantee period that it will only work for 1.5-2 years max. without problems, but it still runs as new! no depletion of sound qulity as far as I can say. But now, this model is unavailable I guess, and you can only buy the 441 Pro, which I don't know about. The 441 is undisputedly one of the best from boAt so far! KUDOS!
