However, at the time of this review, the Boult W40 is retailing at Rs 1,399 on popular online platforms, thereby positioning them in a comparatively higher price bracket considering the sound quality they deliver.

• Thanks to BoomX Technology, W40 gives significant emphasis on deep bass, delivering a powerful and impactful low-end experience.
• The loudness is decent and you can expect audio immersion, particularly suitable for genres like electronic, hip-hop, and rock.
• With frequency response ranging from 20 Hz (minimum) to 20 kHz (maximum), the earbuds do cover a wide spectrum of audio frequencies on paper.
• However, the sound clarity is an issue. It cracks quite often, which can hamper your overall audio experience.
• The environmental noise cancellation performance is decent and it creates a layer of isolation, but it is not too powerful.

Features

Calls using these earbuds are decent for the segment. Distortions are minimal even when outdoors and the audio quality is also good.

This noise cancellation technology employed to filter out unwanted background noise is good for the segment. It doesn’t completely isolate but you can still expect a decent noise cancellation even outdoors.

Battery Life
