BoAt Bassheads 225: In- ear buds on strict budget

boAt, a lifestyle brand that deals in stylish consumer electronics products such as earphones, headphones and speakers have introduced the Bassheads 225 in- ear headphones. As the name suggests, this product’s main USP is bass and it is one of the hottest products on the market.

The earphones come with a flat cable and it greatly helps to be tanglefree. Attached to the cable ( inline) is a microphone unit that also features a single button for answering and cutting calls as well as playing and pausing music.

The boAt Bassheads 225 are straightforward plug and play earphones that feature an in- line microphone which gives it a vast advantage over the competition. These earphones have a frequency range of 20Hz to 20KHz, an impedance rating of 16ohms and a sensitivity of 90db+/- 3db. The earphones come with 10mm drivers that aim to provide clarity along with stereo sound with particular attenuation to ambient sounds. The mic used here is a short- range microphone that allows the recipient to hear you without the ambient noises being picked up.

Weighing a mere 18g, the Bassheads 225 was extremely comfortable to use while working out, the cable length is a standard 1.5m and since it comes with a clip to pin to your shirt, the earphones did not get snagged on gym equipment.

A lot of emphasis of these headphones is centred on the bass delivery and the Bassheads 225 managed it in spades. boAt has put a fair amount of thought into the overall audio quality.

The Bassheads 225 is specially designed for people who love bass heavy music and it appears that a lot of people are into this at the moment as brands are tuning their products to offer that extra bass. The bass here has the punch one needs and is well served and great enough to not drown out the tonal balance. The treble is charming and fairly pronounced and it offers a sound that is pleasing to the ears. We also liked the overall soundstageas it is fairly vast for a pair of earphones with this price tag.

The boAt Bassheads 225 is priced at ` 999 and they are definitely a fun pair of earphones. They offer great value for money and have significant advantages over the competition when it comes

to style and features.
