Boult Audio AirBass Combuds Review

If you are looking for affordable true wireless earbuds, then Boult has a range of products for you. Earlier, we reviewed Boult Audio ZigBuds and this time we got AirBass Combuds to experience its great bass. As its name, Boult is selling it for its superior bass but is it really going to give you that experience at this price, let's find out in the review.

Design and feature

As like its previous TWS, the Airbass Combuds comes in a compact case.  The charging shell has complete matte black finish on all sides with a grey colour inner portion. the grey colour also acts as a separator between the opening lid and the lower body of the case. The case Both earbuds are kept safely inside the charging case that has a clamshell-like design. The charging case can charge the earbuds up to three times from zero to full. The case is made of plastic but it looks and feels great. The outer matte finish ensures that no fingerprints are left on it.

Both earbuds are independent and come with an LED to represent Charging (red) and Successful connection (blue). The Combuds have a procedural oval curve shape with Convexo angular ear canals tube for audio output.

As like ZigBuds, the ComBuds also doesn't have any physical button to control various common functions. The earbuds come with touch controls, you can pause and play music, but these are quite sensitive. Even while adjusting the earbuds, the music went pause, which is a bit annoying. The buds are water-resistant and sweatproof (IPX5 rating) so you can enjoy your music anytime anywhere, during exercise, swimming, running etc.

Performance

Pairing the AirBass Combuds with your phone/tablet or PC is quite easy, simply get the buds out of the charging case, and turn on your device’s Bluetooth. Look for the earbuds on your phone and click on pair. As mentioned earlier, both earbuds are independent of each other in terms of audio, they support Monaural sound reproduction. In mono, an identical signal fed to each of them, in reality, there are two independent speakers in each of our ears, a directional sound will be there with high-fidelity sound.

AirBass Combuds uses 9 mm dynamic drivers that produce a quite balanced and rich sound. It handled the lows, mids and highs quite well. While listening to heavy bass songs, the amount of bass it produces is really commendable, however, at full volume or above medium the vocals of the songs somewhere start getting gagged. I played songs of various genres in different file formats like FLAC, mp3, ALAC, and WAV. Therefore, we can say, AirBass Combuds are good at its bass production. The mids are detailed with the crisp vocals and clear sound, the lows were punchy too, at least enough to let us enjoy each and every song.

But you won’t find is much suitable for calls. The mic is not as strong as it should be resulting in low voice capturing, therefore, the person on the other side couldn’t hear me properly.

If we talk about the playback time in one single charge, the earbuds can go for beyond 5 hours of battery life in one charge. when on full volume. The charging case can give it juice for three times of usage, meaning it can stand for over 15 hours. The case takes around one and a half hours to charge fully.
