Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds: Audio has found a niche in the crowded market for true wireless earbuds by making products with a lot of features at prices that are easy on the wallet. The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are the newest addition to their line. They are made for gamers on a budget who don’t want to give up performance or style. These earbuds are meant to impress with features like very low latency, a long battery life, and a bright design. Here is our full review of the Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds after using them for a while.
Design and Build: Sleek, colorful, and made for gamers
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds look great right away because of their sci-fi-inspired design. The earbuds and their charging case come in Black Moss and Electric White. They have a futuristic look with RGB lights that pulse for a short time when the case is opened. The case has a frosted, see-through lid that lets you see the earbuds inside. This makes it feel more expensive than it is.
The earbuds are small and light, and the plastic they are made of feels strong enough to handle daily use. You can put the case in your pocket, but the shiny finish can get scratched. The magnets keep the earbuds in place, and the silicone ear tips that come with them (plus an extra pair in the box) make sure they fit snugly in most ears. They are comfortable for long gaming or music sessions, but some people might not like wearing them for long periods of time, like when they sleep, because they put a little pressure on the ear canal.
These earbuds are good for working out or using outside, even in light rain, because they have an IPX5 water and sweat resistance rating. You can switch tracks, answer calls, or change modes with a tap on the touch controls. The Boult Amp app (for iOS and Android) lets you change even more settings.
Performance: Good sound for music and low latency for gaming
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are made for gamers. They have a 40ms ultra-low latency mode that makes sure there is very little audio lag during intense gaming sessions. The low latency makes sure that audio stays in sync with on-screen action, whether you’re playing fast-paced games like Call of Duty or lighter mobile games.
The earbuds have 10mm BoomX drivers that make loud, clear sound with a lot of bass. This sound profile is good for gaming and music styles like EDM and hip-hop. The mids and highs are well-balanced, but audiophiles might notice that some complicated tracks aren’t as clear as they are with more expensive earbuds. The soundstage is good for the price and makes both gaming and watching media feel real.
There are four microphones in the earbuds, and they have Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) and Boult’s Zen Mode with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). This combination makes calls and in-game communication sound crystal clear, even in noisy places where background noise is a problem. The Z40 doesn’t have active noise cancellation (ANC), but the snug fit helps block out outside sounds while you use it.
Bluetooth 5.4 makes sure that connections are quick and stable, and it can connect two devices at once. You can connect the earbuds to two devices at once and switch between them easily after setting them up. Even with small obstacles, the connection stays strong up to 10 meters away.
Battery Life: Like a Marathon Runner
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds‘ battery life is one of the best things about them. Boult says the charging case can hold up to 60 hours of playtime, but tests in the real world show it can last up to 70 hours with moderate use. One charge of the earbuds lasts about 10 hours, and a quick 10-minute charge through the USB-C port gives you up to 160 minutes of playtime.
The case has LED lights that turn red while the battery is charging and green when it is fully charged. This makes it easy to check the battery status. The Z40 doesn’t support wireless charging, but it does charge quickly and last a long time, making it a great companion for long gaming sessions, commutes, or trips.
Value and Features: Full of Goodies
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are a great deal at INR 1,199–1,999 (depending on sales). They do well in the budget range, offering features that are usually only found in more expensive models, like low-latency gaming mode, the ability to connect two devices, and support for apps. You can change settings, switch between modes (music or gaming), and update the firmware with the Boult Amp app. This makes the experience more flexible.
You can also use voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant with the earbuds, which makes them easy to use without hands. They don’t have advanced features like ANC or spatial audio, but they do have RGB lighting, IPX5 resistance, and a lot of other useful features, which makes them a great choice for gamers and casual listeners on a budget.
Verdict: A Powerful Gaming Machine on a Budget
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are a great deal because they look good, work well, and are cheap. Gamers will love their very low 40ms latency and quad-mic ENC, while music lovers and casual users will like the punchy sound and long battery life. The bright design and RGB lighting give it a fun, gamer-friendly look, but some people might not like the glossy case and lack of ANC.
The Boult Z40 Gaming Earbuds are a great choice for young gamers or people on a budget who want reliable wireless earbuds that work well for both gaming and everyday use. They are a great value and perform very well at this price, so they are a great addition to your tech collection.
The last score is 8 out of 10.
