Boat

Open-ear earbuds have quietly become one of the more interesting categories in India's crowded audio market. We have seen many brands experimenting with the open-ear earbuds design across different price segments. And now Boat has introduced its Airdopes ProClip, its latest open-ear earbuds in the budget category. The Airdopes ProClip ditches the in-ear silicone tips that most budget buyers are used to, opting instead for a clip-on design that rests just outside the ear canal. 

Boat Airdopes 800 were launched in India on May 17 with adaptive EQ and Dolby Audio-backed audio. The earphones are equipped with 10mm titanium drivers, ENC-supported microphones and an IPX5 rating for splash and sweat resistance. They are also compatible with the Boat Hearables application, available on both Android and iOS smartphones, which allows users to customise touch controls and equaliser settings. The true wireless (TWS) earphones are claimed to offer a total battery life of up to 40 hours. I have spent over a week with the Boat Airdopes 800 and let's talk about how “dope” the budget offering is or isn't.
