Buying a Boat is better than buying the Apple product through EMI.

True, no point of buying non necessity things on EMI. My cousin lost his Samsung phone (Idk, some model with edge) worth 60k last month while taking selfie in River Ganga in Kolkata. Uncle is still paying EMI for it. Irony was he had bought this old model just last year. It didn't even had 5G. He gave me to backup his photos on Google Photos. It was such a pain doing on so 4G data. He was even criticising 5G saying it harms phones. 🤦🏻

I have a pair of headphones I bought in 2017. Stopped working within 6 months. They did a free pick-up and gave a free replacement which still works including the mic despite using it roughly. So ₹499 I spent was a steal for the product.

Boat earbuds aren't good, my friend bought it but it was stopped working within 2 months, the replaced buds are also not working well.

But Boat earphones & neck bands are durable, my brother-in-law has thrown his neckband many times but it's still working great.
 
I am using boat and jbl and samsung eardopes. All are quite good foe their price.
I feel apple eardope is overpriced.
 
This is just a plain ridiculous comparison.

Apple AirPods are in the premium category, priced above the 15k range, where there are very few products. This category attracts three kinds of users: those who want to show off, ecosystem enthusiasts, and audio nerds. It's obviously dominated by the first two groups. I, for one, prefer using the Samsung Buds 2 Pro for the sake of the ecosystem.

BoAt, on the other hand, is in a completely different category, with their maximum price around 5k, and most boAt buyers fall in the 1k to 2.5k range. I have used them in the past, and they're a complete value-for-money proposition, offering decent quality considering the price.

Therefore, comparing Apple AirPods and boAt earphones is not practical due to the significant differences in their target markets, pricing strategies, and consumer bases. Each serves a distinct segment with unique expectations and preferences.
 
Bought headphones for ₹150. It literally looks like counterfeit Boat with logo and everything. It sounds exactly like low end model of Boat that cost ₹399 and Hammer that was available at ₹99 on JioMart couple of months back. Weird part about the counterfeit one was it's thickness of wire. It's better than Boat's own headphones. Looks like counterfeit people have done better R&D than boat and hammer. 😂
