MevoFit Play N100: This is all about powerful bass

- AARON ALMEIDA

MevoFit’s Play N100 offers an enhanced audio bass response that aims to be your go- to headphone for your run or just your daily commute. It comes with a silicone flex band that is said to be sweat proof with an ingress protection certificat­ion of IPX4.

All controls are located on the neckband itself with there being a single button for Play/ Pause as well as power. This button also works to pair the headphones with a source such as a smartphone, laptop, tablet, etc. While the button works fine to do the intended tasks, the build quality could have been a bit better, and when pressed, it tends to get stuck sometimes — at least our review unit showed that issue. On the outside of the neckband are the volume rockers which double up as buttons to go to the next track or the previous one. The micro USB charging port, located on the inside of the neckband has a rubber flap to protect it from sweat, dust, etc.

The N100 comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon CSR 8645 chipset supporting aptX that helps offer enhanced stereo audio performanc­e.

Out of the box, the N100 is a solid performer if you are into bass heavy music, however, the overall clarity lacks a bit. The headphones absolutely live up to its USP. Bass has an incredible extension with the desired impact. When listening to popular music, there is a sweet thump in the sub- bass that has enough of emphasis to sound just right.

The battery is a strong point here — a 170mAh battery provides around 7 hours of usage.

The N100 sells for ` 3,990. The build quality is not the best, but you get a headphone that offers great audio quality that never hesitates to deliver bass.
