From high-resolution monitors to responsive controllers, every little detail will count. But what about audio? Step in the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds, a pair of earbuds that promise a superior gaming experience without breaking the bank. At a price of Rs 1,299, the earbuds come with promises of vibrant RGB lighting, 60 hours of playtime, and ultra-low latency, bringing a package particularly designed for gamers. Fascinated by their promise, I wanted to review the Boult Z40. In this extensive review, let's look at how they performed in the build and design, features, and app functionality, sound quality, and battery life. Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds: Unboxing Video Pros and Cons Pros Cons Budget-friendly gaming earbuds Poor iOS compatibility Long battery life Limited ANC effectiveness Stylish RGB lighting Lack of advanced audio codecs Key Specs Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds 50dB Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) 10mm BoomX Technology drivers 60 hours of total playtime Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity IPX5 water-resistant rating 40ms ultra-low latency Mode Sync RGB LEDs on case and earbuds Dual device pairing with Boult Amp app Build and Design Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds Build and Design The design of the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds is both sleek and futuristic. The earbuds come in two variants: Black Moss and Electric White. I got the Electric White variant, which sports a frosted see-through finish that gives it a premium touch. The case and earbuds take inspiration from Iron Man's mask, imbuing them with a sci-fi look that sets them apart. The build quality is solid, and the earbuds are light enough to guarantee comfort in a long gaming session. Moreover, its IPX5 water-resistant rating makes it suitable for workouts and use in light rain. With Mode Sync RGB LEDs on the case and earbuds, it produces a dynamic light show that's synchronized with your gaming wins. The earbuds are designed with stylized L+R markings so you'll never put the wrong bud in the wrong ear. Features and App Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds Features and App These Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are loaded with features that are meant to enhance the gaming experience. They come equipped with the Boult Amp App, which allows for dual device pairing and seamless connectivity with Bluetooth 5.4. Besides access to various settings, including EQ adjustments, ANC modes, and real-time latency monitoring, you can easily switch between three modes: ANC, Transparency, and Off. I think I have to mention that the earbuds work very poorly with iOS devices at all. The earbuds are fitted with 50dB Active Noise Cancellation to shut out ambient noise and create an immersive listening environment. The smart Adaptive Noise Cancellation with 4,000 Hz Ultra-wide Band Noise Cancellation and 6-mic Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) further enhances the isolation of noise during calls. A Quad Mic setup with Zen Mode ensures clear and crisp in-game communication. Sound Quality Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds Sound Quality The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds excel in the sound experience, thanks to 10mm BoomX Technology drivers. At least for their price. These drivers produce a balanced audio profile with punchy bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. In "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran, the bass was deep and satisfying, yet the vocals remained clear and prominent. For something like "Hotel California" by the Eagles, the detailed mids and highs let me appreciate the intricate guitar work and harmonies. Here, the earbuds do a pretty good job of presenting an impression of the staging, which puts you right in the middle of the action. This spatial awareness is particularly beneficial in games, where such directional audio cues can give players a tactical advantage. While gaming hardcore in BGMI, I could easily pinpoint the enemy's movement and gun firing, which helped to increase my overall gaming experience. A low latency of 40ms ensures no delay between audio and visual elements; it keeps you hooked. Battery Life Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds Battery Life The battery life of the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds is really one of the prime features. The earbuds will go up to 60 hours of total music playback with ANC off. On the other hand, one earbud can give up to 10 hours of playback without ANC. With ANC on, the battery life is shaved off by some 30%, which is still above average. If you need to top up quickly, a 10-minute USB Type-C quick charge gets you 150 minutes of playback, so you don't hang around. A full charge takes 120 minutes for both buds and case, 50 minutes for the buds. Final Verdict Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds Final Verdict Overall, the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds provide a very compelling package for the price. With features such as 50dB ANC, 10mm drivers, ultra-low latency, and long battery life, these earbuds become a great choice for a gamer on a shoestring budget. Additional features of the Boult Amp app give these earbuds versatility and a fine user experience. In terms of value for money, the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are hard to beat, making them one of the top picks in their segment at Rs 1,299. They will make your session of gaming better, be it with casual or competitive gamers. 5 Reasons to Buy 5 Reasons to Buy Great sound quality for the price: The 10mm BoomX Technology drivers provide a balanced audio experience with punchy bass, clear mids, and crisp highs, enhancing your overall listening experience.
