Nirvana Ion

I have spent a lot of money on buying flagship earbuds, but except comfort all of them are more or less the same in my experience. If you drop them often, at time case too, chances are it will start malfunctioning. It could damage charging for instance you might need to place it carefully and precisely to charge it or one of the buds could get damaged which is again frustrating. Budget earbuds could be uncomfortable to wear for long durations. I have a sony wh-ch700n, which I am using for last 4 years. Great battery, good sound and comfortable to wear for long durations! In comparison i have changed 3-4 ear buds in the last 4 years, spending more than what the headphones costed. Thats why I am biased towards headphones. I own two ear buds sony wf-c700n which was about 4500 and boat nirvana crystal ~2k. Both have good sound quality and battery life. Boat one has exceptional battery life and better bass than samsung, but its quite bulky and i have to adjust it quite often in my ear. It falls off during workouts too. Sony one fits well in the ear; doesnt fall off easily but is a bit uncomfortable. It doesn't have touch control like the boat one, instead has buttons. When you sleep sideways with the buds on, the button gets pressed and has unwanted consequences. Amongst these, I'd recommend the boat one.

I have been using boAt earphones since my college days and they have worked for me in all situations. I started with a neckband way back. I used them in crowded Mumbai local trains, during work calls and they lasted longer than my Skullcandy. Since then, I have tried a bunch of their products. I am currently using the Nirvana Ivy Pro buds mostly for watching reels, series and listening to songs. Sound quality is good. Dialogues are clear and the Dolby Audio tuning genuinely makes a difference. So glad boAt tied up with them. I have also got their power bank which was solid 9/10.  Recently, they have improved packaging a lot too. Everything now comes well sealed with individual packing and contents list inside. In general, they have enhanced products with better build and premium features that work in real-life Indian chaos. My earbuds don’t slip when it’s humid, watches give accurate readings and headphones that don’t choke during long Zoom calls. They have set up proper boAt labs for testing and improving. If you are looking to buy, you should try their new launches or flagship range to experience the difference. Also its better to support an Indian brand building solid, tech-forward gear that actually understands how we live here and what we prefer.
