Do you also think all BoAt Airdopes sound the same? We get this question so many times on Instagram. It seems legit as BoAt is storming the market with new products every other month. What’s the catch?
Does this mean they are using the same audio drivers, changing the design a little, and calling it a day?
Well no! It’s not at all like that! We’ve bought around 20 BoAt Airdopes you can read the reviews and comparisons. We assure you they do not sound the same even if the driver size is similar.

![Do All BoAt Airdopes Sounds The Same Which BoAt Airdopes is Best For You 20 Airdopes Tested!](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Do-All-BoAt-Airdopes-Sounds-The-Same-Which-BoAt-Airdopes-is-Best-For-You-20-Airdopes-Tested-1024x576.webp)
What Makes Audio in an Earbud?
Be it any earbud the music is produced with the help of an audio driver. Audio driver is a hardware component that generates frequencies or in other words, music, vocals, bass, and everything that you hear. it is measured in mm.
As far as BoAt Airdopes goes, you will see various numbers like 6,8,10, and 13, etc.
What do these numbers mean? This number is the size of the audio driver which will produce music. Does this mean the bigger the number the better the result? No! It’s not like that, instead, it’s never about the number.
These numbers work as a marketing term and certainly help in better sales. The point is, driver size does not matter it’s the quality that makes the difference. However, you cannot learn about that quality before using any product.
Here, we come into the picture. Since we’ve tested 20+ BoAt Airdopes we are more than sure which one is for you!
Which is Best For You?
Finding the best option out of the lot is difficult because we do not know what you want. But the queries we have received over the last few years had repetitive questions and let’s look at those with the best possible option for you.
#1 Best BoAt Airdopes For Bass Lovers
Many BoAt Airdopes have good bass quality. What do we mean by good bass quality? Good bass means low-end frequencies that do not overlap the vocals and instruments. This gives an overall great listing experience.
Other than good bass, there are earbuds with heavy bass. So, as the name applies, they focus more on the bass (low-end frequency) over trebles, vocals, and instruments.
If the audio drivers is well tuned, it will provide amazing low-end performance, and plenty of detail in the mids and highs. With that in mind, below are the Best BoAt Airdopes for bassheads!
#1.1 BoAt Airdopes 161
![BoAt Airdopes 161 Design](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BoAt-Airdopes-161-Design.jpg)
BoAt 161 with its 10mm audio drivers is a bass monster. You can feel that in your ear canals! The low-end frequencies are well-tuned and you will not find an emptiness in the bass.
Another, thing you will notice is the loudness. if you have been using BoAt Airdopes 121v2, 131, 141 & 181, you will go “wow” for the loudness. It’s about 40% louder than the 141 & 181.
This means you do not necessarily need to be at the maximum volume to enjoy your music. Staying around 70% is a sweet spot. Other than that, the quality of vocals, instrument separation, and treble are all good.
And one more thing, the left and right earbuds are not synchronized with the same output. As a result, you will feel the right earbud is louder than the left one.
#1.2 BoAt Airdopes 170 (Our Pick)
![BoAt Airdopes 171 13mm Drivers](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BoAt-Airdopes-171-13mm-Drivers.webp)
Another good bass-centric Airdopes is the BoAt Airdopes 170. The 13mm drivers are truly a powerhouse. Unlike BoAt Airdopes 161, both the earbuds on BoAt Airdopes 170 are synced and you can experience similar output.
The low-end frequencies are well-tuned you can feel them in detail at any volume. another good thing is the loudness. It’s as loud as 161 but does not lose quality at max volume. So you get distortion-free audio quality.
The 13mm drivers are well-tuned. It is a bass-heavy sound signature that does not overcome the vocals, instruments, and treble. We were not expecting such quality at this price.
Hence for bass lovers, BoAt Airdopes 170 gets our approval.
#2 Best BoAt Airdopes For Sound Quality
Most of the BoAt Airdopes are not bass-heavy, rather they have a balanced sound signature which many Indians like. What we mean by this is that BoAt Airdopes packs in everything and you will not be left desiring for more.
Be it vocals, instrument separation, overall loudness, etc many BoAt Airdopes do not disappoint. For overall great sound, we have these options for you.
#2.1 BoAt Airdopes 141
![BoAt Airdopes 141 Good or Bad](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/BoAt-Airdopes-141-Good-or-Bad.webp)
BoAt 141 comes with 8mm drivers which produce great bass, sharp vocals, and instrument separation. Even at max volume, you will not find audio distortion. Be it any music genre you play it will surprise you with the quality.
You will not find the sound signature as disturbed even at full volume. And if you like to play music at max volume, you will like that on BoAt Airdopes 141.
#2.2 BoAt Airdopes 121v2
![BoAt Airdopes 121v2](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BoAt-Airdopes-121v2.jpg)
BoAt Airdopes 121v2 is not the latest model in the BoAt lineup but when it comes to music, it was “wow” and even today it has a different fan base. It’s the most popular BoAt Airdopes. So how does it sound?
Airdopes 121v2 with its 8mm driver is like the Airdopes 141 but with a different sound signature. BoAt 141 has a little strong bass profile, 121v2 detunes it and focuses on vocals the most.
The second best aspect of Airdopes 121v2 is the treble it offers so much detail that listening to Sufi music or even podcasts is on the next level. So the overall sound signature is good for the price.
#2.3 BoAt Airdopes 413ANC
![is BoAt Airdopes 413 ANC Comfortable](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/is-BoAt-Airdopes-413-ANC-Comfortable-1024x768.webp)
BoAt Airdopes 413ANC comes with 10mm drivers just like the Airdopes 161 but they are different like day and night.
Airdopes 161 has uneven frequencies on both earbuds hence you will feel more audio via the right earbud over the left one. That’s not an issue, many other TWS like the Reame TechLife T100 also do that.
Since it’s not easily noticeable, you need to test devices back and forth to notice the change.
Other than that, the bass on 413ANC is not overpowering once. Instead, it’s the perfect amount and goes great with the crisp vocals and delightful treble.
Be it any volume, you will not experience audio distortion or weak frequencies. It’s perfect overall with moderate bass.
#3 Best BoAt Airdopes For Gaming
Gaming is the most demanded feature that chokes many TWS earbuds. It’s mainly due to the latency.
If you don’t know latency is the delay between video and audio sync during gameplay. It usually happens in milliseconds and changes the fate of getting a shot or being shot!
Hence for gaming, it’s advisable to go with a wired option. But things have changed and nowadays we see wireless earbuds from many manufacturers claiming low latency mode or Beast mode, etc.
But, not all are good. Here are the 2 best BoAt Airdopes for gaming!
#3.1 BoAt Airdopes 141
![BoAt Airdopes 141 Review](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/BoAt-Airdopes-141-Review.jpg)
BoAt Airdopes 141 is a very popular TWS earbud and credit goes to gaming performance. Though it’s claimed at 80ms the actual gameplay is good. We had no issues while playing Fortnite & COD Mobile.
The icing on the cake is the audio playback & the surround sound effects during gaming. You will easily be able to guess the enemy’s position and footsteps.
But do remember to activate the Best Mode as it is disabled to preserve some battery.
#3.2 BoAt Airdopes Immortal 190
![Best BoAt Airdopes For Gaming](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Best-BoAt-Airdopes-For-Gaming.webp)
Why we chose this? We also tested BoAt Immortal 121. Though the latency was lower by 10ms the audio quality in gaming was not sharp. I.E. The enemy footsteps were missing detail hence we did not pick it as the best BoAt Airdopes for gaming.
BoAt Immortal Airdopes 190, offers a low-latency gaming mode that can reduce the latency up to 50 ms which is good. Sure, you can go as low as 40ms with Airdopes 121 but the con we explained above is more than enough for not recommending it.
So for a better gaming experience and detailed in-game audio quality, BoAt Immortal 190 is the best BoAt Airdopes for gaming.
#5 Best BoAt Airdopes With ANC
When you have decided to spend around 2,500 Rs why not go with an ANC option? If you don’t know Active Noise Cancellation can help you reduce some of the background noise around you.
So what can ANC block? It can restrict ceiling fans, Airconditors motor noise, people chatting in your proximity, engine noise in public transport or even on a flight, etc. The quality of ANC improves as per the price.
Coming back to the point, there are only popular options from BoAt that support ANC these are; BoAt Airdopes 413ANC VS BoAt Airdopes 393ANC. We’ve used both of these for a few months. So let’s talk about both, separately.
Note: You can also pick up BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC (Review) it’s a good alternative under 2000 Rs.
#5.1 BoAt Airdopes 413ANC (Our Second Pick)
![BoAt Airdopes 413 ANC Built](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/BoAt-Airdopes-413-ANC-Built-1024x768.webp)
Under 2,000 Rs BoAt Airdopes 413ANC is a perfect option for ANC. Though the claim figure is up to 25db it’s better in real-life use cases.
What does 25db mean? db means decibels. It’s usually the low-end constant frequencies. The higher the db number the better it gets. But be aware of the words like “hybrid” in the product description.
The Hybrid is a marketing term that means the product will claim more db restrain than it can do. Fine e.g. is BoAt Airdopes 393ANC.
Before jumping to 393anc, what kind of ANC can you expect from BoAt Airdopes 413ANC?
Well indoors, it cuts off ceiling fan noise, the water cooler’s motor noise, the AC exterior unit, or the Window’s AC noise. While outdoors, it can block the engine noise of a bus, most of the traffic noise, etc.
So for the price, it’s worth it.
#5.2 BoAt Airdopes 393ANC
![BoAt Airdopes 393ANC](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/BoAt-Airdopes-393ANC.webp)
As per the paper specs, BoAt Airdopes 393ANC has a 35db noise cancellation. Which should be better than BoAt Airdopes 413ANC? But that’s not the case! Instead, the ANC performance is at par. Not much is different.
We are not saying both are similar in other contexts like audio quality, call quality, etc. But for ANC and Ambient Mode, both are at par and you can pick any of these.
And if you are planning any other ANC-powered audio gear, avoid the one with a bigger db number with “hybrid” in the description.
5.3 BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC (Our Pick)
![BoAt Airdopes 141ANC Review](https://padhkedekho.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/BoAt-Airdopes-141ANC-Review.webp)
Airdopes 141 ANC is a newly launched TWS in the BoAt Airdopes 141 lineup! Yes, you read it all fine. There are 5 types of BoAt Airdopes 141. Here’s a brief comparison of all the models.
This particular model comes with 32 dB Active Noise Cancellation. Is it Active or hybrid? Well, that’s not disclosed but here’s what we experienced.
We think it’s a Hybrid system of Noise Cancellation. Does it make it bad? Well no, it’s quite similar to what BoAt Airdopes 393 instead of 413ANC did.
With BoAt Airdopes 141 ANC you will witness less ambient noise be it AC outdoor units, Ceiling fans, or other low-end frequencies. But this one also improves upon the medium to high frequencies like people chatting in your close range.
And with the introductory price of 1500 to 1800 Rs it’s surprisingly a good deal.
