Boat basshead 225 is a perfect earphone under 500 for real bass lovers. The stylish metal body is durable and sturdy. The audio driver is able to produce good quality sound along with heavy bass. The tangle free flat cable help it to become handy. It also have a microphone which is good but not so excellent but good for calling. The earphone had 100% external noise reduction which make it perfect for travellers. The only disadvantage I found at the use of three months is that it is a little heavier than other earphones. But the boat basshead 225 is a real value for the money paid
