boAt Airdopes 121 PRO TWS Earbuds Signature Sound, Quad Mic ENx™, Low Latency Mode for Gaming, 50H Playtime, IWP™, IPX4, Battery Indicator Screen (Mint Cascade)

I have tried several earbuds in the <1500Rs price segment and without a doubt it is a good earbud for the price you pay but it has its own set of pros and cons. So, without further ado the pros and the cons of the product according to me are: (** marked points are important features/downsides of this earphone) Pros: **1. Sound and Bass: The sound and bass of this earbud are exceptionally good for the price. The sound and the bass can even be tuned by an EQ to suit your audio needs from your phone but in windows, I still haven't found a way to change EQ without using some third party software. 2. Waterproof: Yes it is water proof but up to a certain water level and for a certain duration. 3. Design: This point is debatable for this earbud because of its large upper part. Though it sits comfortably in your ear but it has a tendency to come loose due to certain jerking of the head. **4. Battery backup of each earbud: By far the best thing for this earbud. The battery backup is impressive. Even after using it for 6hrs at 60% volume, the battery remaining was 40%. The battery remaining percentage is shown both in mobiles as well as in windows. 5. Codecs: It supports both SBC and AAC codecs but switching to AAC codec will rapidly deplete your phone's battery (if you are on android especially). 6. USB C charging and digital display for remaining charge: Though it is of mere importance, but the digital display do provide an estimated percentage of charge remaining, while the LEDs used to power the display consume battery from the case. The USB C charging is a good feature though it takes around 30-45mins to charge the case fully. 7. Bluetooth connection: The connection is pretty fast. The fast pairing is also fast and after that you just need to open the case and take out the earbud and you are all set. Cons: 1. Sound Distortion: At volume >90% you will definitely find the sound a bit distorted but this con can be overlooked as one wouldn't be using the earphone at that volume for long purposes. **2. Case battery backup: This is the worst part of the whole earbud. It is claimed that the case offers an additional 32hours backup, but I found that the case was only able to charge both the earphones 1 time at max before having to charge the case again. So considering it charges both the earpods once, it comes down to 16hours of additional battery backup (effectively 8 hours if you use both of them at the same time) 3. Noise Cancellation: The earpods sounded great when I was using it in a less crowdy place (like a small room) than when used in place full of people and background noise (like travelling in a car/train/metro/bus etc). While travelling in a car, though I was using the earpod at about 90% of the maximum volume, still I could hear all outside noises and the bass and the sound of the playing song created a pandemonium. **4. Charging the earbuds: Though the earbuds charge rather quickly once kept inside the case, but most of the times the case fails to recognize the earbuds. This is another serious issue of this earbud. I have 2 of these earbuds (in green and blue color) and both exhibit this same characteristic. You have to recheck whether it started charging or not every time you put an earbud inside the case because there is no guarantee that the case will recognize and start charging the earbud. Also, you will have to regularly clean the charge points of the earbuds and the case because even a pinch of dust can keep the case from recognizing the earbud (None of my other earbuds exhibited this problem). Also the earbud gets extremely hot when charging. So, you shouldn't immediately start using the earbuds right after charging. **5.Mic: Although it has quad-mic system, I found the quality of the mic to be pretty bad. Also, you will have to speak louder for the person on the other end of the phone to actually hear you. 6. Case discharge issue: In this case, if you start charging the headphones, almost all the time the case keeps on charging the earbuds even when the charging is complete and dissipates all it's charge. Both the earbuds I possess have this same issue. Conclusion: In conclusion, I would say that it is a decent buy if you are looking for an earbud under Rs1500. Considering the bass and sound it offers and also the battery of each earbud it provides, it is a value for money product. Update: After almost 1.5 year of use, I can most certainly ask anyone thinking of purchasing this product to stay away from it. Not only it's battery life reduced dramatically but the charging case also developed problems. It would take like almost 6 hours to charge completely. Then there is the earphone sitting problem inside the charging case i.e. it won't start charging or sit properly inside the charging case. Besides this, there are several other problem like the earphone getting severely heated during charging as well as during usage. My advice will be to stay away form this earphone.

Sound quality is almost same like other boat products having boat signature sound i.e. boomy bass. Enough loud at 50-60% volume. Lots of bass,which sometimes overpowered the treble & vocals. Mic quality is just ok in indoor condition. Company claims there is low latency while gaming,i don't know exactly if it works or not. It has a digital display to show remaining battery in case,which is a good addition. The problem is with battery backup. Company claims 40 hours with case : 8 hr in single charge+Additional 32 hr(4 times charge via case) This is misleading. It only gives total 25 hr playback. It will give around 7 hr backup on single charge @ 50-60% volume(only music listening/watching video,but no call/gaming) You can charge the earbuds full only 2.5 times via case: so additional 18 hours. If you try to charge after 2nd time it will only charge the buds around 60%,then it goes off. (After 1st charge the case has 48% battery left,2nd time it is down to 12%,then 3 rd time it goes to 0%) They mentioned earbuds have 40 mah battery each,380 mah battery in case. It is mentioned in product manual,but in boat website it is written 400 mah instead of 380. Technically 40 hours backup is also not possible. It has 380 mah battery in case,it acts like a 380mah powerbank. So let assume it's efficiency is 60%. So it will give output of 228 mah.(It is less than mentioned capacity due to energy loss while energy transfer) Now each earbud has 40 mah,so total 80 mah. Now buds can be charged via case 228÷80=2.85 times. That's it.

Nice

I purchased the pro plus model best I liked was the battery level indicator, the sound quality and the standby time.
