GOBOULT’s new earbuds Y1 V2 are here, and this time, the company has launched a very budget-friendly and smart pair of earbuds. The launch price has been kept at just ₹999. A dedicated page has gone live on Flipkart for this product. 60 hours of battery, Zen ENC Mic and fast charging at this price – many are surprised to see this combo.
The previous Y1 model also received a good response. This time, the company has improved some more things in the V2 version. Especially, the focus has been on calling quality, battery life and design. This can be an attractive option for those who use earbuds in the office, gym or for daily work.
Design & Build
The design of the Y1 V2 is quite smart and modern. The earbuds are light and ergonomic, so that they do not feel uncomfortable even if they are in the ears for a long time. The case has a knurled texture, so it doesn’t slip out of your hand easily.
It has IPX5 water resistance, so it can be used in sweaty gyms or light rain. The color options are also quite nice – Blue Teal, Electric Pink, Black Onyx, etc. That is, it looks small but gives a premium feel.
Sound Quality & Features
GOBOULT Y1 V2 uses 13mm bass boosted drivers. On paper, the sound profile looks balanced with a slight bass boost. The bass is punchy, but not overly heavy. The mids and highs are also relatively clear.
Zen ENC Mic is provided, which reduces background noise a lot during calls. But it doesn’t mean that there are premium quality noise canceling features. In Gaming Mode, latency drops to 45ms. There are also touch controls, voice assistant support (Google and Siri) and the GOBOULT AMP app, where EQ can be customized.
Battery Life & Charging
The big thing is the company says 60 hours of total playback time (with case). About 30-35 hours are available with Noise Cancellation mode. The earbuds are claimed to last about 8-9 hours on a single charge. About 120 minutes of backup is available with a 10-minute charge. There is a Type-C port, so it is easy to charge with a modern charger.
