The LIT 🔥 expression on every audiophile’s face when they hear the words ‘Active Noise Cancellation headphones’ is quite evident. And why shouldn’t it be? After all, there is nothing quite like a pair of ANC headphones to tune into your favourite tracks and enhance your music listening experience!

But is that all that ANC is good for? 🤔

If you, boAthead, are someone who works in a loud, annoyingly noisy environment, you have a case to make here for using an active noise cancelling headphone (you know, explaining your friends why you WANT IT for your next birthday, Diwali or Christmas gift, even!). Because Active Noise Cancellation headphones are truly great for finding your focus at work and taking your productivity to the moon! 🚀

(Well, how else do you think geniuses find great ideas at work? 😜)

Whether it's the chatter of your colleagues, the sound of traffic, or the hum of machinery, unwanted environmental audio can distract you from your work and lower your productivity. That's why so many peeps have started using ANC headphones to block out unwanted disturbances and create a quiet zone for themselves – especially when you really want to get in the groove and ace your job!

We’re pretty sure you’re convinced, but let us give you more insights that’ll sound good on the matter.

A Tiny Bit on How ANC Headphones Work

Well, if you’ve read about our recent wave of ANC Bluetooth headphones, earphones and earbuds – like the Rockerz 551 ANC, Airdopes 141 ANC, and the Nirvana 525 ANC – then you’d already be familiar with the workings of ANC. It’s simple, really!

The main aim of active noise-cancelling headphones is to reduce the ambient noise that reaches your ears. So, how does it work? Well, ANC works by using microphones to pick up the sound waves of ambient noise from the outside. The headphone then actively generates an opposite sound wave that cancels them out. This way, you can hear only what you want to ear, such as your music, podcasts, or phone calls.

But ANC is not just for entertainment. It can also help you work better and smarter. Here are some of the benefits of using noise-cancelling headphones for work.

The Secret Ninja Technique to Finding Your Concentration and Improving Attention Span ⚔️

Even if you don’t have the attention span of a goldfish, the disturbances at your workplace would surely reduce it further. Worry not, for active noise cancellation headphones can bring your concentration and attention span back up to speed!

Not kidding, many studies have shown that environmental disturbances in the form of noise can impair cognitive performance and memory, especially when you are trying to do complex or creative tasks. So, by eliminating these irritating external sounds, you can focus more on your work and avoid distractions that can break your flow. How’s that for a productivity hack?

Put Stress and Fatigue on Mute 🔇

One big reason for loss of productivity at work? Well, you’d agree if we say the dreaded six-letter word ‘STRESS’. And there’s nothing worse than droning sounds and useless chitter-chatter around you to make your stress and fatigue at work worse. Think irritation and even anxiety, making you feel drained and chomping off your productivity.

Well, this is where ANC headphones can help you block the unwanted, stress-causing disturbance and find your peaceful zone to not only calm down but also enjoy your work more!

Hear the Things that Matter 🧏

Noise-cancelling headphones are not only good for blocking out noise, but also for letting in the sounds that matter. And the best bit is that you can adjust how much noise you want to cancel or let in?

Take the boAt Rockerz 551 ANC, for example. It’s Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation gives you the power to eliminate up to 35 dB of external sound. But when you want to hear from the teammate in the next desk with whom you’ve been working on a project, just switch to Ambient Mode to let sound in with utmost clarity! Then there are exciting technologies like ENx™, enabling boAt ANC headphones and earphones to make your calls, especially work-related, smooth and clear! This means better communication and collaboration at work.

Active Noise Cancellation Headphones: Your Best Buddy at Work

There are two kinds of people: those who stay loyal to one pair of headphones and those who keep upgrading to the next best thing. Regardless of which category you belong to, though, one thing is for sure: you want your Bluetooth headphones or noise cancelling headphones to last looooooong.

After all, once you bring them home, they become your BFF who shares the same love for music and audio as you. And no one wants their BFF to quit on them – ever!

The thing is, no matter how robust their construction or how ergonomic and durable their design, your wired and wireless headphones deserve to be handled delicately, with love, and a lot of TLC – just like your best friends and special ones. Right?

Remember, headphones can be quite fragile and prone to damage if not handled properly. So, how do you make your favourite pair of headphones last longer? It’s honestly not a secret – you just need to care for them longer to enjoy them longer.

Gather around, boAtheads, as we share our collective wisdom on how you can extend the lifespan of your headphones…

Tip #1 - Store Your Headphones in a Case or Pouch When Not in Use

Yes, it’s that simple. Just a couple of seconds of effort will protect them from dust, moisture, and physical impact. Also, avoid wrapping the cord around the headphones or folding them too tightly, as this can cause strain and breakage. Instead, use a cable tie or a Velcro strap to keep the cord neat and tidy. Easy peasy!

Tip #2 - Clean Your Headphones Regularly

Don’t be shy…go and clean your headphone, mate! If you think the pair that you have are the best headphones ever, then, surely, they deserve to look the part? Remember, dirt, sweat, and earwax can accumulate on your headphones and affect their sound quality and hygiene. So, use a soft cloth or a cotton swab to gently wipe the earbuds or ear cups. But be careful not to get any liquid inside the drivers or the ports.

Tip #3 - Avoid Exposing Your Headphones to Extreme Temperatures or Humidity

Did you know that high heat can melt the plastic or rubber parts of your headphones, while extreme cold can make them brittle and crack? Don’t worry, all boAt headphones are built to face the extremes of Indian weather, but one can never be too safe! There’s also humidity, that can also cause corrosion and short circuits. The best thing to do, then, is to keep your headphones away from direct sunlight, radiators, ovens, freezers, or humidifiers. If your headphones get wet, dry them thoroughly before using them again.

Tip #4 - Handle Your Headphones with Care

Yes, even wireless Bluetooth headphones! Just because they lack wires doesn’t mean they can’t get messed up. Even a minor yank can sometimes damage the circuits inside. And let’s not even think about dropping your headphones or tossing them around, as this can cause dents, scratches, or cracks. Pack them too tightly and they might bend or twist a little too much, resulting in weakened hinges or joints. Thus, be gentle, and treat your wired or wireless headphones as you would any other valuable device.

Tip #5 - Maintain Your Headphone Jack and Ports

Best friends always cover up each other’s weaknesses – so why not do the same for your fantastic headphones? Their weak points? Well, the jack and ports are where your headphones connect to your devices, such as your phone, laptop, or tablet. They are also vulnerable to dust, lint, or dirt that can interfere with the connection and cause distortion. So, just like your noise-cancelling headphones shield you from the ‘blah, blah, blah’ outside, you too must shield them from dust, lint, or dirt! To clean them, use a dry cotton swab to gently remove any debris. You can also use compressed air to blow out any dust.

And that's all! These tips will surely sound like music to your ears (and your headphones’ ear cups!). May they last as loooong as your passion for audiophilia!

Ciao!

Admit it, boAt fam: There’s no greater vibe killer than outside noise leaking into your blissful, headphone listening experience – that too at the just the wrong moments. It’s funny how certain kinds of sounds become intolerable when you have your pair of earphones or headphones on – gadgets whose purpose is actually to channel the sound into you! Irony much?

Well, what can we say, fam? Not all sounds are pleasing – certainly not so when they are interfering with your listening. Imagine that annoying hammer drill from a nearby construction when you’re just about to give a presentation on a Zoom call. Or bawling babies on the flight right when the Stairway to Heaven solo is about to hit you. Gosh, that doesn’t sound very heavenly at all, does it? Imagine something even worse: wildly loud (and unfunny) colleagues laughing their heads off right next to you as you try to focus on the deadline day tasks. There goes your zen music for a toss!

Sigh.  

At that moment, you might wonder: Why are my noise-cancelling headphones not working? Well, hate to break it to you, but your headphones might not have Active Noise Cancellation. Wait, what? Active Noise Cancellation? Now what is that?

Active Noise Cancellation – What exactly is it?

Focus on the word ‘active’. Simply put, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a unique (and, frankly, life-saving) technology that ‘actively’ cancels ambient noise around you.

You see, regular noise cancellation is simply about blocking the ambient noise with the help of padding or layers. This means that there is a possibility that loud sounds and noises will still creep in and turn your day miserable.

Enter Active Noise Cancellation. Developed as a technology in the 1950s for aviation pilots, ANC picks up ambient sound – one with the steadiest frequency – with the help of microphones and then negates it. This done with the help of a powerful chipset that inverts the soundwaves by generating a reverse frequency sound and playing it over the speakers. When this inverted sound combines with the ambient sound, they both effectively cancel each other out. The result is a phenomenal, crystal clear, even markedly improved listening experience. How cool is that?

Well, that sounds important

The fact that ANC technology was invented to enable aircraft pilots to work better amidst the harsh sounds of engines and what not points towards how important it is. In today’s context, active noise cancellation on your headphones helps provide adequate sound immersion, especially in high pressure situations like virtual meetings, live gaming, or even emergency response services.

There’s a reason why Active Noise Cancellation is a regular feature on high-end headphones, and is often a great indicator of the quality of the headphones. Thankfully, over the years, this beautiful tech has become relatively less expensive and more common, so don’t think it’s outta your reach. Check out the dope boAt Nirvanaa 1007 ANC, boAt Airdopes 500 ANC, boAt Airdopes 411 ANC, boAt Airdopes 501 ANC and boAt Nirvana 751 ANC that let you enjoy long hours of serenity with the Active Noise Cancellation mode switched on!

On that note, remember, active noise cancellation isn’t the same as sound-proofing. Don’t expect it to pick up and cancel out irregular sounds like chatting or the occasional loud thud. It works best when the sound disturbance is steady – like a drone, or a hum, or something constant and regular. Having said that, ANC combined with sound-proof padding and good quality muffs can definitely block as well as actively cancel almost all of the ambient noise with great ease. Sweet!

Well, Active Noise Cancellation does sound great (quite literally!). Thank heavens for whoever came up with it, otherwise every day would seem (and sound) like a Monday without them.

Until next time, folks. Till then, keep silencing the unwanted noise in your life with your boAt-titude and our Noise Cancelling headphones and earbuds.

Usually, there are only three reasons why peeps go for gaming headphones. 

One, they are tired of facing accusations from their family, roommates or friends that they create too much ruckus while gaming. ‘C’mon, that’s not ruckus!’ you make your case, but no one pays any attention to that. Sigh.

Second, you are just one pair of gaming headphones away from turning your room into gamer heaven. You’ve got the gaming rig or the latest PlayStation, you’ve got all sorts of controllers – even VR headsets and controls – and you’ve got the ambient light and the webcam as well. The right gaming headphones, and you’re in for a joy ride. Rad!

Third, you are a serious gamer who always has eyes on the prize. You understand how owning a great set of gaming headphones can keep you one step ahead of the game. No compromises!

Hey, all this sounds great! At the end of the day, whatever be your reason, we can all agree that gaming headphones are…wait for it…AWESOME. Sound design in games, today, is hitting new levels – taking the realism and immersion to uncharted territories. In shooters and online multi-player games, especially, like Fortnite, the right gaming headphones will help you develop spatial awareness – knowing where the enemy is located around you in an instant. Plus, these headphones also have microphones to help you communicate like a commando. 

So, how do you actually choose the right gaming headphones? 

Of course, your regular pair of headphones won’t cut it – they might either be incompatible with your console or not offer the kind of performance you desire. Then there is the question of not knowing what exact features to look for and compare while searching for a pair of gaming headphones, or how to differentiate between a cheap headset you’re getting at the Sundar market and the likes of premium boAt Immortal gaming headphones. 

Confused? Then, listen up, commando! Here’s our briefing for your first mission (i.e., buying the right gaming headphones) before you head out for your Fortnite mission.

TASK 1 – Identify your Gaming Platform

Are you a console junkie? Or do you indulge in PC gaming? Perhaps smartphones and tablets are where you spend the most time earning XPs and ramping up your ‘kills’? Well, the answer to this question will decide where you should begin your gaming headphones search. Consoles only work with pre-listed, software-compatible headphones, so you might have to keep console compatibility as the main factor. For PCs and smart devices, anyone should work – wired or Bluetooth. 

TASK 2 – Execute a Choice – Wired or Wireless

Your second task is to figure out whether you’re OK with wired connectivity. Sure, wireless ones have the X-factor (and make sure you don’t fumble over wires or are free to move/jump around recklessly celebrating your victory!), but wired headphones also several advantages like instant plug-and-play and less weight. On the flip side, while wireless headphones will need to be charged (making good battery life a priority), wired headphones are more prone to wear and tear over time.

TASK 3 – Survey Your Comfort Requirements

Next up, comfort! We all know how gaming for a long time can be quite stressful or physically exhausting. Heading into a virtual battlefield means you need to be physically free of all discomfort and distractions to ace your round. This is where gaming headphones can get bulky and also trap sweat and heat during prolonged use. So, look for headphones with sturdy, adjustable and soft headbands, along with comfortable, fitting ear cups and pain-free clamping force. You don’t want your ears to start hurting due to the tightness! Pro tip: If you have smaller ears, go for round, on-ear cups. If you have larger ears, go for oval, over-the-ear cups. 

TASK 4 – Scan for Surround Sound

Of course, how can you forget sound! These days, surround sound with a 360-degree soundscape has become a hallmark of good gaming headsets, giving you a competitive advantage depending on how good it is. The boAt Immortal 1000D absolutely smokes this department with its Dolby Atmos, 7.1 channel audio that delivers hyper-realistic ambient game sound. The good thing is that your gaming platform will also have a built-in spatial audio system that should work with any gaming headset. So, as long as you are buying a compatible headset, sound should not be a worry! 

TASK 5 – Scan for Microphone

Yes, the microphone – probably the most iconic feature of any gaming headphone. If you wanna chat with fellow online gamers or friends in the middle of an intense battle on the screen, you want it to be crystal clear. This is where a noise-isolating mic will shine through, as featured on the boAt Immortal 200 in the form of ENx™ technology mic – allowing you to escape the background noice and communicate clearly. Pro tip: If you’re looking for a gaming headset that can also possibly double as your regular pair for office or commute, then look for a detachable mic headphone, like the boAt Immortal 1000D.

TASK 6 – Scan for Build Quality

Lastly, don’t forget the build quality. You don’t want to bring home a pair made from cheap plastic. Look for something that is ergonomically built, possibly with an aluminium frame and soft, padded leather-type material. 

And that’s mission accomplished! Hopefully, now you have a clearer idea of how to buy the perfect pair of gaming headphones. Gaming headphones are awesome (like we mentioned before), which is why we’ve had so much fun designing a couple of really insane ones at boAt – the Immortal 1000D and the Immortal 200. These PC-compatible gaming audio beasts tick every box and take it a notch further with revolutionary features like Easy Audio & Mic Driver Customization and damn cool RGB LED effects on the ear cups!

How’s that for a flex? Perhaps you can consider flexing your gaming prowess with an Immortal on your head. A crown for the king/queen, shall we say?

Hey, sailor!

Welcome to another rant session.

So today, while traveling in the metro, I plugged in my headphones to dive right into my jam than listen to the constant murmur and chatter of my fellow commuters. But what happened next is why we chose to write this blog. My oh-so-dear headphones stopped working. Yeah, just like that. I did what any irritated person who had lost their perfectly fine headphones to utter randomness would do: slightly cursed them under my breath for making the journey unbearable and began my search on the internet for the reason why I was ditched by my one true love, my headphones.

I soon found out that I might be the culprit for the damage. Yes, bestie! In the blame game, we often forget that we can be at fault too. 

So, yes. Of course, we had to tell you this and have a conversation to enlighten you with our newly found wisdom.

Here is what we found out:

Go Anti-Wax for Ear Wax

Being an anti-vaxxer? Nada. 

Being an anti-waxer? YES, PLEASE!

We hardly realize how much the ear wax can damage our headphones until they are already damaged. So, before putting your headphones or wireless earbuds in the case, make sure you clean out the ear wax that resides so peacefully inside. Once it starts building up, it can severely damage your headphones.

Know Your Headphones

You know how we ensure if a product is “waterproof” by looking at their IP and IPX ratings? Well, we forget that water-resistant and waterproof are two different things. So please, before you flex in front of your friends, know the ratings. Now, IP and IPX ratings are different too. IP stands for Ingress Protection. The higher the rating, the more resistant the watch is. Two digits mean the headphones are solid particles aka dust and water-resistant. Whereas, IPX means the manufacturer didn’t necessarily check for dust resistance, although the headphones are resistant to some extent. 

If you still want to dig in further to understand how this works? Don't worry! We got you.

Here- How Effective is the IPX Sweat & Splash Resistance?

Turn It Down A Little

A rare phenomenon doesn’t mean an impossible phenomenon. Like, you know what we mean, right? While doing our research, we found out that drivers can and may fail sometimes. It might mean that they’ve lived their course, but more often than not, it also means that you’ve been banging your favourite songs at an overly high volume. If the headphones are playing distorted music while playing any particular genre of music, then that means the drivers have been damaged.

So, don’t be like us and listen to music at a lower volume for the sake of your eardrums and drivers!

Untangle Your Cables

If you use wired headphones, then we think you already know how frustrating it might get to manage them. Of course, at some point, we do lack the patience to untangle the wires and use them in the tangled state without caring. Now, this results in cable damage and disrupts the performance of the headphones altogether. So, stop being lazy and untangle the cables to save your headphones!

Case ‘em Before You Break ‘em

Our headphones may just look tough but they aren’t built to endure hardcore action we often subject them to. For your fragile headphones, it is necessary that you become a little aware of how you are treating them. Some days, we keep them lying around on our sofa or bed. Places where they’re most likely to be damaged. So, keep your headphones in a case when not in use, pls?

So yes, amigos. Let’s make sure that we aren’t careless when it comes to our dear headphones. Oh, what was my reason? Being a lazy bum and never putting them in a case. :)

And yes, for you guys who’ve damaged your headphones for good, here is where you can buy your new shining armour.

There was a time when you used to take work-from-home just to play your newest PlayStation/Xboxgame the entire day.

There, we said it. Well, only true gamers will nod in agreement. If you find yourself nodding (or forced into a mischievous chuckle), then you, dear gamer, would be having the most amazing time ofyour life, isn’t it? After all, it’s the undisputed era of work-from-home!

Anyway, we wonder, what is it that hooks us to video games? Is it the unreal graphics that arebecoming more life-like than ever? Is it the story that leaves our imagination tingled, or the sense of control that gives us a rush? What about games being an escape from loneliness and anxiety during the pandemic, and a way to connect with the outside world virtually? The answer to all these questions is a resounding yes – for the majority.

Then there are those who stan video games for their…immersive sound in gaming headphones! Rad, right?

Think about the atmospheric sound design and thematic background score of historical fiction, post-apocalyptic or futuristic video games made larger than life in your ears

Or the spine-tingling, creepy sound vibes in a horror-survival RPG that sometimes get so real, you instantly yank your headphones away (LOL!). How about the ominous tunes of wars and battles that instantly transport us into World Wars and medieval combat?

And if you’re into sport simulation games, then you would, too, agree that authentic-sounding stadium atmospheres are what makes video games and their enhanced gaming headphone sound the best things ever for you!

The good news is that boAt’s flashiest range of gaming headphones – Immortal – makes all these possible. And the better news is that we know exactly the video games you need to test your Immortal headphones – and their superpowered (with multiple combos), boss battle-ready sound.

Ready? Steady! Go:

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

If you haven’t played the Uncharted series, you’re really missing out on not just a brilliant game but a complete cinematic experience. The game follows the journey of Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter, as he travels around the most exotic locations in the world in search of splendid fortunes. And at the heart of it is stunning sound, especially in Uncharted 4 that brings to life the flora and fauna on an island the game is centred on. From brushes with gravel and grass to sudden wind or the call of birds, everything will sound like adrenaline rush on your Immortal 1000D’s Channel Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos soundscapes!

Battlefield 5

If you’ve ever imagined what life would have been on a real battleground, then Battlefield 5 will shock you with its power-packed gunfire, bombs and assaults. From close shots to bullets flying over your head, this game sounds mad, challenging the Immortal 200D and 100D’s 50 mm drivers to keep up. And keep up they will, especially in multiplayer online games where you and your friends take up the arms. But you know what’s even better? Being able to communicate through the mic with other players and friends as you work together to strike out your mission. The Immortal gaming headphones are equipped with noise-isolating mics, enabling crystal-clear comms during in-game combats.

FIFA 21

Ah, the iconic FIFA series by EA Sports. Does anyone do better when it comes to simulating the world’s most popular sport? One of FIFA’s claim to fame is its authentic match sounds – which go a step further in FIFA 21, bringing to life real stadium atmospheres, fan chants, the tussle between players, the rifling of the net when the goal goes in dizzying detail! We’re thinking the Immortal’s 360-degree audio experience would score a lot of goals with gamers here as they find themselves wondering whether they’re actually in the stadium or not! And the game’s got fantastic game tracks from some of the most popular global artists, giving you the dual pleasure of music and sport at the same time.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

We have to add Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to the list for sure! Not only is it one of the most perfectly-designed games, it also has dollops of folk music, medieval instruments, and the magical sounds of an ancient world. That sounds like the perfect recipe to test your Immortal gaming headphones to us!

Alien Isolation

The heart-rendering sounds that jump out suddenly and the grim, eerie atmospheric score are the soul of horror-survival games. This is where Alien Isolation triumphs, ghosting you on a dark, eerily silent space station as you attempt to investigate a mystery while avoiding terrifying aliens with blood-curdling shrieks and nerve-wracking slithering around you. Beware! Putting your Immortal gaming headset on while playing this game might be a petrifying experience unlike ever before.

So, boAt fam, what do you say? You game (not at the expense of your work-from-home, we hope!)? Take your pick from above and become the all-conquering hero in another world as you revel in the theatre-like sound experience of Immortal headphones.

You love your headphones, we geddit! But finding the perfect headphones today can be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, especially if you are not familiar with all the technology that comes with it. No matter what features a pair of headphones boasts about, we know you still buy it solely on the basis of how slick it looks and how powerful the sound is. 🤪

And that’s okay, but would it hurt to know how that powerful sound is produced for you?

You know Mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell, right? 👀 Well, today we’ll be talking about the powerhouse of headphones. Yes, in today’s episode of ‘Know What You Buy’, we’ll be introducing you to the all powerful and mighty, ‘Headphone Drivers’.

To put it simply, a driver is responsible for creating the sound that you hear in your ear! You can imagine them to be like tiny loudspeakers in your ear. They convert electrical signals into sound. They are made up of 3 components namely voice coils, magnets, and diaphragm! 

Is Bigger Always Better? (Pun NOT Intended)

Now, some of you think that the quality of sound is linearly related to the size of the driver and in order to get better sound quality, you need to get headphones with bigger driver size. But that is not completely true! Whereas a larger driver will have a larger diaphragm, which basically means cleaner bass. However, headphones with large drivers can also struggle in reproducing high frequencies.

Does The Number Of Drivers Matter?

Well, some headphones do come with more than one driver. Do you know why? Because a single driver holds the capacity to produce sound between 20Hz and 20KHz, but there are certain limitations involved there. That’s why some earphones use multiple drivers. With multiple drivers involved, filtering is used to segregate the range of frequencies and this allows each driver to focus on a particular range. 

But then again, it doesn’t mean that a headphone with multiple drivers is going to sound better, when compared to the one with a single driver!

‘Ugh, you’re getting us all confused 🤯’. Okay, calm down, soldier. Let’s simplify this phenomenon for you even further. 🖖

Types of Drivers (Shit’s About to Get Serious)

Dynamic Drivers (Moving Coil Drivers)

These are the most common types of drivers that you come across as they are mostly affordable. They create sound by using the physics of electromagnetism and magnetism to create movement.

If you want your headphones to produce a thick bass puch, then go for the ones with dynamic drivers. They do a marvelous job in delivering impactful bass and deliver good sound without consuming much power.

However, they are widely popular and highly effective, some people complain that they produce harmonic distortion at loud volumes. But there’s nothing that some good engineering can’t fix! 

Planar Magnetic Drivers

These are the types of drivers that you will find in most of the high-end headphones, which are open-back, over-ear or in-ear in design! They are kind of similar in their mechanism to the dynamic drivers as they operate using a magnetic field, but rather than using a coil, the diaphragm, which is a thin flat film, becomes directly affected by the magnetic field. This results in the creation of sound.

They house additional magnets so that the whole diaphragm can vibrate evenly. This results in adding a bit of weight to the headphones. This also means that the headphones will consume more power from the audio source. But the sound that they deliver is  accurate, clean and crisp. They accentuate every detail without any distortions. They can be called the perfect choice for the audiophiles! 

Balanced Armature Drivers

They are very small in size and are mostly used in in-ear monitors. Due to their compact size, manufacturers put multiple drivers in a single earpiece. They are extremely good at sound isolation and let you enjoy a detailed listening experience. However, on the downside, these drivers face a lot of difficulty in producing a good bass response (especially when compared to the dynamic drivers). 

They are good for gaming!

Electrostatic Drivers

They are rarely found in open-back headphones and are extremely expensive. They utilise static electricity to produce sound - like charges, they repel each other which produces vibrations as the diaphragm pushes and pulls against two conductive plates. The air is pushed by the diaphragm through the perforated walls and sound waves are creative with the variation of electrical signals. 

The sound is of breathtaking quality, which surpassed all expectations! If you can afford them, buy them and experience the true meaning of music! 

Bone Conduction Drivers (Magnetostriction Drivers)

They are fairly new in the market and do not work like other headphone drivers. They let you enjoy your music by vibrating your face bones, interesting right? 

They need to be pressed against the bones in your face so that the sound can pass to your inner ear using vibrations! 

They are good for people who would like to be aware of their ambient surroundings while listening to their music. Their only drawback is that they do not produce sound that is as great as the other drivers.

Phew! 🥵 That was TMI, right? But don’t worry. Next time your friend asks you which headphones they should buy, stun them with your smart insights about headphone drivers. 😉

Now, go on. We have more blogs to work on, ugh. 🤒

“Music is the strongest form of magic.” ― Marilyn Manson

Rightly said, but we have something to add to it: 

Music is the strongest form of magic which can only be experienced with the right kind of earphones and headphones! 

That being said, earphones and headphones have become an essential part of our lives. We depend upon them for sailing us through our day, high on music and high on style!

But do you often find yourself buying new headphones every now & then? Often just because you didn’t buy the ones that suit your needs? Or because they don’t sound right? Or because they are too clumsy to use? Or they feel too heavy on your head? Whatever be the reason! 

If you want to avoid such misadventures in the future then you must familiarize yourself with the lingo and understand their specifications clearly. On top of this, there are so many types of them that it becomes all the more confusing. 

Read on to understand better and make an informed decision: 

Know the Type

First and foremost, you should understand the basic difference between headphones and earphones and their types: 

Headphones are basically earphones with headbands. They are also of two kinds: the ones that are pressed against your ears and the ones that enclose the ears (a.k.a over-ear headphones) are often worn to get superior music quality like for music mixing or DJ-ing! Also, the snug fit provides additional noise isolation which is great for calling or watching videos. 

Earphones often called earbuds or in-ear headphones are compact and lightweight and mostly worn for everyday active usage. They can be of two types again: the ones that sit in the peripherals of ear cavities, and the ones that get stuffed into the ear canals. They are ideal for wearing during the commute or can be counted on to offer you a diverse number of added advantages. 

Find the perfect fit that offers Comfort

You are going to wear them for long durations and you definitely don’t want to punish your ears! 

If you are choosing headphones then the cushions on the earcups should feel light on your ears and the headband should not put a lot of pressure on your skull. 

Similarly, the in-ear earphones should not poke the insides of the ear and make them painful. Check for ear tips in your wireless Bluetooth earphones so that they don’t fall off from your ears. 

Curious Case of Connectivity 

Now there are various types of connectivity options available but then can be broadly divided into wired and wireless. Both have their own set of pros and cons and it’s completely up to you to pick. 

Wired headphones or earphones come with a cable that you have to insert into the system. This offers a lag-free connection which offers unmatched audio quality!

As they are connected with a wire, you don’t have to ever worry about charging them. Just ensure that the wire is long enough for you to enjoy a comfortable listening experience.

Wireless earphones as the name suggests are wire-free. You have to pair them up with your device using Bluetooth. They allow you the freedom from always carrying your phone around in your hand or being glued to your laptop while on a never-ending call. 

However, you do need to charge them from time to time to ensure uninterrupted usage. But that’s not usually an issue with the True Wireless earbuds as they come with their own carry cum charging case, meaning that when not in usage the TWS earbuds get charged automatically when placed inside the case.

Double Check the Durability 

Let’s be honest. You want your headphones to last! There is no denying to the fact that you are going to drop them at some point or another but that should not mean that they should break into two!

Hence, check for material and sturdiness. The wire in wired pieces is often prone to fall stretches and bends. So opt for the ones that come with a tangle-free wire and higher bend lifespan!

Additionally, you should also keep in mind that you might sweat if you plan on wearing them while working out. As well as don’t rule out dust from causing harm to your favourite Bluetooth earphones so always check for IP rating. 

Portability that fits your plans

You should definitely check on the weight and compactness of the earphones before plunging to you. If you are someone who travels a lot and needs something compact then opt for earbuds or wireless earphones as they can be easily thrown into the bag and carried around.

Generally lightweight and compact, these allow you to carry your music everywhere! The fact that they are highly compact, they are ideal for travel. 

On the other hand, for a more traditional stationary usage like studio work or WFH, get the headphones with the closed-back.

The right ones will be light on your ears and head and provide just the right amount of pressure on your ears to fully enjoy the sound. It’s not like you cannot carry them around as they now come in fold-up designs which can be helpful during the transit. 

Last but not the least, you should also have a look at the price. Because you definitely don’t want to burn a hole in your pocket as well as not compromise on the quality, you should try to strike the perfect balance between the two and pick the one that suits you! 

As you are reading this, we are sure that your headphones are lying somewhere near you

And that’s why we are going to introduce you to the ones that will perfectly fit into your life and match your lifestyle:

Friend: Will you help me untangle my earphones?
Me: No, Will Knot!

We all have been in a situation like this! And many of us have even drifted to wireless options available in the market. But every time we decide to get a new pair of earphones, we all are haunted by the following question - to go wireless or not to. However it sounds (pun intended) like a very simple decision, it’s not!

Wired headphones or wireless earbuds, both come with their own set of advantages and it’s completely up to a user to decide which one suits their requirement. And in order to do that, the first thing one should do is identify the usage and the preferences. 

Do you want something that you can use at work or something that can become a workout companion. Are you looking for something that you can easily connect with a wider range of systems or do you want something that you can easily slide into your pockets and move around with music? Are you an audiophile who just cannot compromise on the sound quality or are you someone who prefers convenience more?

Once you have done that analysis, read on as we try to break and hopefully help you find the one that fits your needs!

Going Wireless, Going Carefree!

Tell us honestly - how many times have you been listening to your music with wired headphones only to accidentally rip them out of your ears on the corner of a table or a doorknob? If the answer is more than often then you can leave your worries behind with true wireless earbuds! 

You can connect them to your phone, computer, or tablet and have the freedom to walk up to 50 feet away from the device and still groove to your favorite tunes . It makes practically every task easier as you are no longer physically tethered to your device.

Another advantage of these earbuds is the fact they are highly portable and absolutely easy to carry around. They are accompanied with a charging cum carry case that can easily fit into your pocket.

On top of that they are absolutely lightweight and sit perfectly inside your ears to provide you comfort. You can easily depend on them to pump out high energy music while you sweat it out at the gym! 

And if you live for finer things then these earbuds will allow you to fully enjoy the added features like hands-free calling and managing your music. As your hands do not require you to carry your phone around everywhere!

However, some might find the fact that you have to charge them before using a tad bit annoying as we generally tend to forget such things! But this should not bother much as boAt’s true wireless earbuds provide a great battery backup that will keep you going, without any hassle! Also, some might feel that they are a bit more expensive, well then, that’s not true. We suggest you have a look at our range and be ready to be amazed by their exceptional features and price!

To conclude - There is nothing quite as freeing as having a pair of Bluetooth earbuds. Chores around the house, working out at the gym, and even listening to a podcast in bed has been made much easier with these types of earphones!

Good old fashioned wire-way!

Now let’s discuss the all-time favorite and the most reliable type of headphones - the wired headsets! Especially if you are not just passionate about your music, but also care deeply about the way the music sounds, you are in pursuit of a life-like music listening experience in a compact and portable headphone setup then these are definitely the best match for you! 

Additionally, you can easily wire them up with a wide range of technology that doesn’t support bluetooth or WiFi! As most of them support a standard 3.5mm jack, you can pair them easily with your dad’s old walkman or your latest laptop!

Surely, you might face some problems with the wire, but it does come with its own set of advantages. For example you will never experience any lag in between your calls as you are directly connected to your device.

And regardless of how long the battery life is rated on your pair of Bluetooth headphones, when it runs out, you'll be out of luck. But no such thing can happen if you have a pair of wired headphones! Additionally, you get some of your controls in the in-line wire which further adds convenience to your overall listening experience.

In the end, the decision to stay connected or switch to a ‘no strings attached’ phase is completely up to you! What we can assure you is that with boAt, you will always find the type of earphones that will keep you high on music and let you experience nirvana.

Of all the everyday gadgets that impact our lives, headphones are by far the most popular ones, taking right after mobile phones. We run with them, we work with them, we travel with them, we read with them and some of us even sleep & eat with them!

The point is, the right pair of headphones add quality to your way of living! And the not-so-good pair can make your everyday activities dull. Be it entertainment or work, we count on them for smooth sailing through the day.

Especially when everyone has been working from home for almost more than a year and OTT platforms coming up with such interesting content every day, owning the best bass headphones becomes all the more important to enjoy an exceptional listening experience.

Hence, having a good pair of wireless headphones becomes very important to ensure the smooth functioning of our activities! But how do you decide which ones to buy?

Purchasing them online seems like a legit solution! We are sure you must have tried buying them online or know anyone who bought it online, only to be disappointed as the ones they got didn’t suit their lifestyle or requirement.

Now how do you decide which one to pick? Some of us depend upon our friends for advice, which may or may not prove to be completely helpful! That’s why we have curated a list of parameters that you should definitely consider before making a purchase: 

1. Type & Usage

Before hopping to specifications, this is the basic thing that you should decide upon. Knowing where or how you are going to use your Wireless headphones helps you decide on the type of headphones you should buy. They usually come in 3 variants:

• Over the ear headphones: The biggest of the 3 types, these headphones surround or cup ears and stay on via light pressure on the temple and upper jaw. They are ideal for people who want to surround themselves with blissful music, without interacting with outside noises. 
• On-ear headphones: They are generally lighter than the above and stay on your head via pressure directly on your ears like ear muffs. They are ideal for your at-office or at-home listening experience as they do not completely block your ears and allows some external sound in.

• In-ear headphones: Generally called earbuds or earphones, these are the smallest of all and fit in your ear canal. As these are highly portable, they are easy to carry around. These are ideal for high power activities like weight-lifting or running due to their secure fit!

2. Battery Life

In a world where we are always running out of time, you need your most reliable headset to be able to support you for the longest period of time possible!

However, most wireless Bluetooth headphones come with decent battery life, it is definitely subjective & depends on your usage. But it definitely is important to look for wireless headsets that ensure a minimum playback time of 4 to 5 hours.

And since you don’t want to wait for forever to charge them up, it will be extremely great that you pick the ones that get fueled up within a shorter period of time to pump out extremely great music. 

3. Sound Quality:

There is no denying the fact that you definitely are going to use your Bluetooth headphones to listen to music!

That’s why they should deliver superior quality audio with incredible bass, an excellent mid-range & clear treble that doesn’t sound too sharp or piercing! Therefore, check for the audio codec that has been used to power up the headsets.

Additionally, have a look at drivers that are being used in the headphones as it’s them that converts the electrical signal into an audio signal. However, the accuracy of sound quality can be subjective and be a matter of personal taste, always. But with the right headphones, everyone should feel the ultimacy of music without any compromises! 

4. Durability

It is natural to feel disappointed if your newly bought wireless Bluetooth headphones wear out within a week or so!

Therefore, it’s important to read up on materials that are being used and certifications like IPX rating for water & dust resistance as you would be well aware of your requirements in terms of usage and wouldn't want your music to stop while you are sweating it out at the gym or during a power run!

Another important aspect that you should definitely consider is the built material & the warranty structure of your purchase. Always try to pick those headphones that have a strong built-up structure and a warranty that lasts long!

5. Noise Cancellation: 

If you are someone who wants to enjoy a fully immersive sound experience then look for a wireless headset that is also capable of cutting the outside noise!

Active Noise Cancellation technology ensures that you only hear what you want to hear and very smartly cancels out the outside noise. This is a must-have feature for people to enjoy an uninterrupted music experience! 

6. Your own style: 

Having said it all, it’s very much important to find the wireless headset that suits your style! Find the ones that are in sync with the trends & are stylish! As on one hand, these are designed to deliver a blissful music experience, on the other, these should always compliment your urban lifestyle and make you stand out from the crowd! 

Now that you have read through the pointers, we are sure that you will choose the right Bluetooth headphones for yourselves and if you are still confused then let’s help you with a few suggestions: 

You can count on boAt’s Rockerz 550 or Rockerz 560 to fulfil all your musical needs magically! 

If we start having a round of discussions with respect to the Wired and Wireless Headsets, then it would be highly probable that the debate stays tied even after everyone has spoken enough about both the types.

Whether they have to be plugged in or connected wirelessly, the headsets’ primary purpose is to offer blissful experiences while listening to music. Whether one chooses a wireless headphone or a wired one, at the end of the day the person would want the eardrums to feel good, and that whole experience should be seamless.

Both the types of Earphones/Headsets are capable of uplifting the listener to a different zone. They have their own pros and cons to associate with. How do you choose?

The Ways We Connect

The wired headphones are those devices that can connect to your smart phone in a simple manner. You just have to plug in the audio connector of the headsets into the 3.5 mm jack of the phone.

Whereas, the wireless headphones can connect with the smart phones via Bluetooth technology. Though, pairing the earphones with the device via Bluetooth functionality is easy, the simplicity that the wired earphones offer is unmatched.

Quality: The Priority

It is a matter of utter contention among the listeners worldwide if the Bluetooth headsets offer a better quality of sound as compared to their wired counterparts.

For some of the wireless headsets present in the market that may be true, but there are some amazing Bluetooth headphones and earphones that deliver the quality alongside wireless connectivity. The wired headsets are generally known to offer quality auditory experiences.

The Battery Battle

When initially the devices with wireless technology burst into the scene, battery was a major concern. On the other hand, the wired headphones and earphones have always proved to be the last man standing; they don’t need battery backup unless there’s ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) in them.

But folks, according to the current and upcoming trends, wired is a passé. We have some wonderful wireless headsets that offer long battery backups. 

My Life My Style

We meet all sorts of people every day. Some might like to have an evening stroll while in the park more often than some who would like sweating it out at the gym. Some will choose adrenaline pumping actions like mountain climbing and there will be some who’d like to listen to their favorite playlists while commuting to work.

For every lifestyle there are apt wired headsets as well as wireless headphones. If your days are filled with action and on the go then choosing a wireless one would be suitable. If you plan on spending some quality time immersing in music, then wired headsets could be the choice.

The Inner Voice

After going through the crucial aspects about the audio headsets we may safely say that this is a matter of choice. Depending on the type of lifestyle you generally follow, you may pick the right pair for yourself.
