About Boult Audio

Boult Audio is an electronics company that designs and manufactures innovative audio products. Boult has been committed to continuous improvement in delivering new value to its customers. (Source)

Boult Audio had a 7% market share in the TWS category in Q2 2022. The company is located in Delhi, India.

In the past years, Boult Audio has tried their best to impress customers by launching multiple audio products.

In result, they succeeded to a great extent. Boult Audio launched some good inexpensive products at different price segments.

People started using their products and loved them.

Currently, Boult Audio is one of the top-performing audio companies in India.

Is Boult a good brand?

A product is the face of a company. If customers like the product, the company touches the sky. If they don’t, the company falls.

In the case of Boult Audio, it’s a mix of both.

Some Boult products are really great, but some are just average at best.

There are certain earphones from Boult that leave us impressed, but some fail to do so.

So based on what we have experienced, we can say that Boult is surely a good brand if you choose their product wisely.

About Boat

Boat is one of the fastest-growing audio brands in India. The company has been ranked No. 1 in the ear wear segment, with a 23.9% market share in Q4 2022.

An interesting fact about the boAt audio is that they sell an average of 8,000 to 10,000 units every day. This number is so huge that most companies never came close to it.

This brand started in 2016 that deals in an extensive catalog of headphones, earphones, airdopes, speakers, travel chargers & premium cables.

It’s been Six years since the Boat came into existence. But no one can deny that Boat understood the Indian audience much better than any other audio brand.

The boAt is legally named as Imagine Marketing Services Pvt. Ltd. It’s an Indian-based company founded by Sameer Ashok Mehta and Aman Gupta.

Note that the origin of the country of boAt’s products is China. 

Is Boat a good company?

Not every single product, but most of them, has become an immense success. Majority of Boat’s products sell like hot cake.

But why? Why are boAt products so popular?

It’s because of the trust boAt has built. It’s because of the quality they offer. Not only in the ear wears, but boAt is also well known in the portable audio speakers, and soundbars.

So now the question is, Is boAt a good brand?

We are sure you already know the answer which is Yes, boAt is definitely a good brand. 

Most of the boAt products are value for money and reliable. You can have trust in boAt quality.

However, you should also know that Boat launches too many audio products, especially TWS Airdopes.

So we advise you to choose boAt earbuds wisely because the company has launched too many of them unnecessarily.

Boult vs Boat, Which is better?

To test it out, we have bought the earphones from both Boult and Boat. So let’s know which one performs better than the other.

Boult vs Boat Wired Earphones

Most people usually spend around Rs 500 on wired earphones. So we picked the best from both brands at this price.

• boAt Bassheads 242 (Full Review)
• boAt Bassheads 152
• Boult Audio BassBuds X1
• Boult Audio BassBuds Storm-X

To be honest, we weren’t having high hopes with the Boult Audio earphones, but we were proven wrong.

After testing these four wired earphones, we were surprised to see how well Boult earphones performed.

The Boult BassBuds X1 is designed for sports lovers, but it can be used for regular use also.

The ear hooks might cause discomfort, but removing them solves this problem.

The Boult BassBuds Storm-X is very comfortable to wear for long sessions.

Coming to the sound quality of Boult wired earphones, it’s great for the price. Both the earphones have nearly identical sound quality, but the BassBuds X1 is slightly better.

Both deliver deep thumping bass with clear vocals and treble. The overall sound is enjoyable and a treat for bass lovers on both.

However, you should not expect a premium audio experience from a budget earphone that costs under Rs 500.

Boat earphones, on the other hand, are different from each other.

Where BassHeads 242 is designed for sports lovers, the BassHeads 152 is for regular use.

Like the Boult BasBuds X1, the Bassheads 242 cause discomfort because of the ear hooks. But as usual, removing the ear hooks doesn’t cause any earache.

The sound quality is also great on Boat earphones. It’s even better than Boult earphones.

The BassHeads 242 delivers louder sound with high treble and vocals. The bass is also thumping and deep.

BassHeads 152, on the other hand, slightly lacks the treble but delivers deep bass.

The sound quality is impressive on the BassHeads 242 and very good on 152.

Because of the overall good sound, both the Boat earphones, along with the Boult X1, are featured on the list of best earphones under 500.

But, here’s a twist. Boult wired earphones that we have tested here cost around Rs 300, and Boat earphones cost Rs 400-550.

So looking at the overall value, we think that Boult wired earphones are slightly better than the Boat wired earphones.

However, the extra money you spend on Boat earphones won’t go in vain. You will get a comfortable fit and design and better sound quality in return.

Verdict: Both Boult and Boat are great in wired earphones. No matter which brand you choose, you will be more than happy. But still, we would pick the Boat earphones because of the better sound quality.

Boult vs Boat Earbuds

When it comes to earbuds, the story is a little different. 

Both companies have launched some good options in the different price segments.

But after using TWS from both the brands, we have noticed that Boat TWS performs better than the Boult TWS.

Most Boult TWS sound good, but they lack wider sound signature, and the sound quality feels a little compressed.

On Boat TWS, there is a variety in sound quality.

For example, Boat Airdopes 141, 441, and 441 Pro offer a bass-heavy sound, but 281 Pro offers a balanced sound. The Boat Airdopes 170 is the best of both worlds, as you get good bass and clear sound stages.

So, why should you buy Boult TWS?

If you want a value-for-money TWS earbud that delivers decent sound good under budget, then you should go for Boult TWS. You check these Best Boult Earbuds in different price segments.

Why should you buy Boat TWS?

If you want more reliable and premium earbuds that deliver better sound, then you should go with Boat TWS. You must check these Best Boat Airdopes because there are so many Airdopes out there.

We highly recommend you to take a look at the earbuds from both companies and decide for yourself which suits your needs best.

Verdict: According to our experience, Boat earbuds deliver better sound quality than Boult. If you are in the market to buy a TWS, then it’s better to go with Boat TWS earbuds.

Boult vs Boat Earphones

Boult Audio makes a comeback in the category of Bluetooth neckbands. Here we feel that both companies are very close to each other.

But first, we have to say that Boat has done an excellent job by launching great Bluetooth neckbands for around Rs 1500.

You don’t have to spend much to get great sound quality and features. You can check this list of Best Boat Rockerz neckbands. 

On the other hand, Boult Audio also managed to impress us with their wireless earphones or neckbands.

The most impressive things about the Boult Bluetooth earphones are that they are inexpensive, excel in the battery department, and sound good for the price.

That’s why we recommend you check these Best Boult Wireless Earphones.

Talking about our experience, it was pretty good with both.

We have been using Boat Rockerz 255, 255 Pro Plus, and 335 for months, and these earphones still sound great. They are full of bass and deliver a good sound quality.

In addition, we have also used the Boult Audio ProBass X1 and ProBass Curve. These two earphones are also as good as Boat earphones.

That’s why we said both brands are close to each other in the category of Bluetooth neckbands.

Verdict: The neckbands from both the Boult and Boat are equally good. But Boat has a slight edge because it offers more options, whereas Boult has some limited options.

What about Headphones and Speakers?

For Headphones, we recommend you go with Boat.

Why?

Because Boat headphones offer slightly better sound quality. The difference in sound isn’t significant, but still, Boat headphones are better.

Also, you have a lot of options to choose from Boat, whereas Boult offers only limited options.

For speakers, both the brands are more or less the same.

We had hands-on experience with both brands, and we haven’t found any major difference in the sound quality of those speakers.

The sound quality may vary for different models, but in general, speakers from both brands are good and deliver almost the same level of audio experience.

How is the After-sales service of Boult and Boat?

We haven’t faced any issue with the products we have bought from both the brands. But that doesn’t happen to everyone.

Users face issues with the products and want good after-sale service.

Frankly speaking, no brand is perfect. If we had a great experience with one brand, you might have just the opposite.

But overall, we have found that many users are satisfied with the Boult after-sale service, but a lot of them have faced many issues.

However, it’s significantly better on Boat.

We aren’t saying that Boat after-sale service is the best where you just fill a complaint, and your product gets replaced the next day.

The Boat also takes time to get your earphones/earbuds repaired or replaced. But compared to Boult, the Boat is better.

We know a few people who had a bad experience with Boat after-sale service. But for the majority, it’s just fine.

So overall, Boat offers slightly better after-sale service compared to Boult.

Final Verdict

Boat might be good in TWS earbuds, but when it comes to wired and Bluetooth neckbands, Boult is giving a tough competition.

Both the audio companies are good, but when we look at every aspect, then Boat is slightly better than Boult.

Why?

Boult is a relatively small company compared to Boat.

Being a small company Boult still managed to impress us, but it slightly lacks in the after-sales service.

Also, the TWS earbuds from Boult Audio aren’t that impressive.

On the other hand, Boat is a big company that has launched some impressive audio products.

So based on our experience, we can say that both the companies are good, but Boat takes the lead by a small margin, and you should go with boAt.

But again, the experience varies from person to person. We know many users who had a better experience with Boult than with Boat.
