Pros & Cons

BoAt Airdopes 141 Pros And Cons

BoAt Airdopes 170 Pros And Cons

Differences Between BoAt 141 VS 170

Built Quality

Both TWS offers good built quality. Like all TWS earbuds, they are also made of plastic. Be it the earbuds or the charging case itself.

Unlike others, the overall built quality is quite strong. There are no panel squeaking or uneven designs to consider as a con.

But which one is better?

It’s the BoAt Airdopes 141 whose built quality feels better. It’s more evident in the charging case hinges. It offers a satisfying click whenever you will close the case. On the other hand, BoAt Airdopes 170’s case (hinge) quality could’ve been better. As far as earbuds go, both are strong and are almost similar.

Therefore, for built quality BoAt Airdopes 141 gets 8.5/10 while BoAt Airdopes 170 8/10.

Looks

The first visual change you will notice is the design of the cases. While BoAt Airdopes 141 has a square design, BoAt Airdopes 170 has a rectangle cum circular design.

As far as the looks go, both offer matte designs as a result they are not fingerprint magnets! Another good thing is the color schemes. Both Airdopes are available in 3 color schemes so you have options to choose from.

Though both have 3 color options, BoAt Airdopes 141 dual-color nature makes the color more appealing. While Airdopes Airdopes 170 follows a more “blend in” design language.

The second biggest difference is in terms of size. BoAt Airdopes 170 size is quite compact next to BoAt Airdopes 141. Hence it’s more portable in the pocket without making a big bulge in your pants. Whereas, BoAt Airdopes 141 is thick and heavier.

So for looks, we will give BoAt Airdopes 141 & BoAt Airdopes 170 an 8.5/10.

Comfort & Grip

Do you have medium to large ears? Then you would both of these. Both are comfortable to wear and are perfect for workouts. We did not encounter any issues during weightlifting, running, or cycling.

So for workouts, both get our thumbs up.

As far as comfort goes, you can easily wear these for long hours. Usually on weekends, we are on movie marathons and can easily rock these for 5+ hours. So yes, they are comfortable to wear.

Since the earbuds are a little wider, people with small ears will have comfort issues. You can try the additional ear tips given in the box. if you don’t want to risk your money, here are 5 best earbuds for small ears that we approve after testing!

In this context, both are at par and there’s no difference for comfort. Hence BoAt Airdopes 141 and BoAt Airdopes 170 get a 9/10.

Features

Whenever we talk about BoAt, one thing where all boAt products shine is the features on offer. A few months ago when BoAt Airdopes 141 was launched it was the most feature-packed earbud under 1500 RS (other than volume controls, of course!).

BoAt Airdopes 170, being a new model offers even more features. Before that, Let’s talk about some common features.

Both earbuds come with touch controls, support for fast charging, IPX 4 water resistance, and a big battery. Another common feature is the IWP. Which essentially helps to connect with the paired device as the lid opens. It works quite exceptionally on both.

So for the features, both are good but BoAt Airdopes 170 takes a new edge.

Both Airdopes come with game mode A.K.A Beast Mode. But the difference lies in the response time. BoAt Airdopes 141 comes with an 80 ms latency. While BoAt Airdopes 170 has just 50 ms. This difference is quite noticeable. Which is better? Head over to the gaming review below.

Another point to talk about is the Bluetooth version. Though, we had no issue with the connection on any earbuds. But still, most people like to opt for the latest one. In that case, BoAt Airdopes 170 is better with Bluetooth Version 5.3. Whereas, BoAt Airdopes 141 comes with 5.1.

So for features, BoAt Airdopes 141 seems like “today” and Airdopes 170 is from the “future”. This does not mean the present one is bad.

Hence for features, we will give BoAt Airdopes 141 an 8.5/10 and BoAt Airdopes 170 a 9/10.

BoAt Airdopes 141 VS 170 Audio Quality

In this BoAt Airdopes 170 vs 141 comparison we were hyped to try the 13mm drivers on Airdopes 170. We’ve also tested the ones on BoAt Airdopes 161 (Review) but did not like the sound balance.

So is this 13mm driver the same as BoAt Airdopes 161? How does it stack up with BoAt Airdopes 141?

No! BoAt Airdopes 161 and 170 do not share the 13mm drivers. Both have very different sound profiles. But let’s focus on BoAt Airdopes 170 vs 141 in this comparison!

BoAt Airdopes 141 comes with 8mm drivers. While the BoAt Airdopes 170 packs in 13mm drivers. Does this make any difference? Yes! There are differences, but both are way better than the others and certainly great for the price.

BoAt Airdopes 141 and 170 have a bass-heavy sound signature. If you are a bass head you will enjoy any of these. Like bass, vocals, and treble, instrument separation is great on these as well.

Both 8 and 13mm drivers on Airdopes 141 and 170 are great for music & watching your favorite movies. They are so good you will not find any audio distortion.

But which one should you pick?

Next to BoAt Airdopes 141, 170 feels louder due to the bigger size. Also, Airdopes 170 pumps in more detail for vocals and instruments.

So for a bass-heavy sound signature, you can go with BoAt Airdopes 141. Whereas, BoAt Airdopes 170 feels more vibrant details and overall loudness.

Hence there is no clear winner; You can pick BoAt Airdopes 141 or BoAt Airdopes 170 as your liking.

Call Quality

Whenever BoAt launches a new TWS we are always skeptical about the call quality. Most of the time, call quality improves. But, at times, we have seen a drop in call quality. So what to expect from BoAt Airdopes 141 and 170?

The good news is call quality on both is great and there’s no difference. They are using the same ENx technology to cut the ambient sound. How well does ENx perform?

The calls will have static-free vocal transfer, non-robotic voice, no far-sounding mic, etc. The overall call quality is great on both of these. Hence for calling, these get our approval.

And both BoAt Airdopes 141 and BoAt Airdopes 170 get similar 8.5/10 ratings.

Battery Backup

Usually, BoAt Airdopes are known for their features on offer and battery backup. This also holds for both of these. Let’s now talk about battery claims and battery sizes. Afterward, we will discuss the real-world use case scenario.

As per BoAt, Airdopes 141 can be used for an overall time of 42 hours. While the BoAt Airdopes 170 achieves its half-century i.e. 50 Hours of total playback!

BoAt Airdopes 141 comes with a 600 mAh battery case. While BoAt Airdopes 170 offers a 470 mAh case. By the numbers, BoAt Airdopes 141 seems ahead but there’s a catch. BoAt Airdopes 141 buds have a smaller 30 mAh battery while the 170 has a 40 mAh one!

So what kind of battery backup can you expect from both of these?

if you are a hardcore gamer you can expect between 3.5 to 5 hours on these earbuds (non-stop). While Airdopes 170 can go an hour extra!

if you are a moderate user who will be playing games for long hours (2 hours) and listening to music for 2 to 3 hours a day at max volume. Surfing Instagram Reels/Shorts for about 2 hours, you will charge the case once a week! It applies to both of the buds.

So in terms of battery backup, you will not be disappointed with any of these.

What about charging?

Both Airdopes 141 and 170 support fast charging and can use any charger with these. We do not use or recommend chargers beyond 20 watts. Not because it will damage the earbuds but because the TWS earbuds do not pull extra resources other than needed.

Hence the charge time is between 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours.

BoAt Airdopes 141 vs 170 Gaming Test

For gaming, one is good while the other is great. Some people say the lower the latency claim the better it will perform. But it’s not about the numbers that make the difference, how well the gaming mode is implemented makes a call of getting a shot or getting shots!

The good news is that both Airdopes are designed for gaming and you will certainly have a more promising gaming experience.

But which one is better?

Though there’s no issue with BoAt Airdopes 141, the gaming performance of BoAt Airdopes 170 is much better. It’s majorly because the audio drivers produce more vibrant details than the 8mm drivers of 141.

Therefore, for gaming, BoAt Airdopes 141 gets 8.5/10. While BoAt Airdopes 170 gets 9/10.
