Ways to Make Your Headphones Last Longer
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!

How to Choose the Right Gaming Headphones
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?
Best Games to Test Your Immortal Headphones With
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.
Headphone Drivers: What Do You Need To Know?
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. 🤒

5 Best Hacks To Keep Your Earphones Untangled
Do you often listen to podcasts or music? Do you depend upon your earphones to speak your mind on calls? Does watching online movies or playing mobile video games seem incomplete when you don’t have your favourite earphones plugged in? Then undoubtedly your earphones play a significant role in your everyday life!
But now answer this honestly - how many times have you pulled out your earphones from your bag or pocket and found them in a knotty mess?

How frustrating, right? And trust us, this feeling is absolutely mutual and that’s why we have curated some hacks for you to go through that can help you keep your best-wired earphones untangled.
1. Hook-em up
First & foremost, unplug your headset from your device. It will help you move the cord freely. Then start folding or wrapping your earphones in a figure-8 pattern using your first finger and little finger as guides.
When you are about to finish, just wrap the end in the middle and stick the earphone jack through the loops to secure it. This is a super easy and most commonly practised method to keep your earphones from unravelling and becoming a mess that you will hate undoing later! Moreover, you don’t need any special tools to do this, it’s literally all in your hands!
2. Braid up the wires
Some of us already know how to make braids! We used to even make bracelets from strings when we were young! Use that talent of yours to keep your favourite noise-cancelling earphones out of trouble!
Just use a regular string to braid up the wires and voila, you did not only just give a cool makeover to your earphones but also prevented them from some wear and tear.
However, we do understand that it takes a little bit of time to do all of this, but the result is definitely going to be completely worth it! All it will take is a few materials and a little bit of creativity!
3. Use your phone
Now if you are someone who just cannot even imagine separating your two most favourite devices from each other, this method is gonna do wonders for you!
Just simply use your mobile phone to wrap your earphones around. Just hold on to the open end and start folding it around your phone.
Easy, right? This will on one hand ensure that you never forget your earphones, and at the same time make your earphones stay ready and free for you to use!
4. The binder clip
Improvise when you do not want to indulge in the tedious exercise of untangling your best wired-earphones!
Just grab a mid-size binder clip and use it to hold your wrapped earphones in place so that they don’t get tangled up in your bag, or simply use them as an actual wrapping tool. Just slap on the binder clip near the earpiece end and begin wrapping the cord around metal arms.
What’s more? You can even clip it onto your backpack and quickly use them whenever needed! This versatile method is definitely a saviour when your boss suddenly calls you while you are commuting!
5. Wind it around an old card
This is an old trick to keep your earphones safe!
Just find any old non-functioning reward card and grab a pair of scissors and a punch hole. Make a curved or half-moon cut along the card’s length and punch one hole on one end and two holes on the other.
Cut a slit on each hole and insert your earphones’ earbuds into the 2 slits. Coil the wire around the card’s narrow middle and then slide the jack through the remaining slit!
Having given you a few hacks to keep your earphones safe and mess-free. Let’s also give you a little advice to easily untangle the wires, if you already have a messy bundle in front of you.
Firstly, avoid untangling the cord when your jack is still connected to the mobile phone.
Secondly, make them lie flat on a clutter-free surface and start looking for knots and only undo one at a time. It comes without saying you should never pull them harshly as it might cause them harm and also damage the internal wire.
However, we have one more solution for you to free from this tangled nuisance: Bluetooth earphones! Cut the clutter of wires as you can connect these true wireless earphones to your mobile device over Bluetooth and enjoy uninterrupted listening or calling for long hours.
If this doesn’t work for you then make sure that you select earphones that come with tangle-free wires! For example boAt’s Bassheads 225.
These come with a tangle-free cable that is durable and doesn’t get coiled up every time you put them in your pocket! So go ahead, buy them now as a mess-free life awaits you all!
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.
