| ![]() Hi. Any one using Boat Rockerz 400 Bluetooth headphones? https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01J82IYLW/..._WY9ABb1042004 Planning to pick one from Amazon as there's a good deal. Primary use will be to watch television (Netflix, Hotstar) during late night hours. Budget is strictly limited to INR 1500/- given the limited purpose. Thank you. |

the amount is small, but this seller has been dilly-dallying. Keeps saying he recieved information about the package - when all tracking systems say that the tracking # has expired. | |

Couple of questions, if you don't mind - 1. Some expensive ones are reported to have sound lag when paired with TV or YouTube. Did you experience the same with this model? 2. After a prolonged usage, say 3 to 4 hrs., is there any discomfort felt? I am planning on ordering 2 sets. One, for pairing with in-built Bluetooth of non-smart LG LED TV. 2nd, for someone else who commutes daily between Borivali & Vasai in suburban train. Thanks. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Very impressed with my recent experiences with the Aliexpress Preferred shipping option using Singapore Post. The cost is nominal and the speeds comparable to much more expensive modes. I ordered on 30 July, it reached Singapore on 3 August, and am expecting it to be delivered today or tomorrow latest in BLR. |

Typically Aliexpress standard shipping is done through Singapore post delivers from China to Bangalore in less than 15 days of despatch. Last edited by audioholic : 10th August 2018 at 11:29. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Apologies did not get the exact name right. Its the Standard one which is so much better that that silly China Post airmail etc. |

| ![]() Fellow coffee lovers, just wanted you all to be aware of this Chikmagalur based online coffee delivery website. I love strong black coffee and a chance online search led me to this site. I buy the French blend filter coffee (75 %coffee 25% chicory) for 300/- per kg including delivery. For me the price is almost the same as 60/40 open mix sold in Blr/South India, but with free shipping all over India, plus bonus is directly from a farm in Chikmagalur. Shipping is via registered normal India post. Link : Website http://www.pandurangacoffee.com/index.html Link : For shopping https://www.instamojo.com/pandurangacoffee/ (I have zero financial incentive for this post or from the company, and am doing it purely as their six month old loyal customer.)

The boat is not at all comfortable for wearing for a long time. Well, in 15 mins your ears start paining. The earcups are so tight that it crushes your ears. I tried loosening but did not work. While switching on, off, connecting etc, a loud jarring voice announces it, which is very very irritating. It's too loud. Build quality is very good and it is not very heavy too. The boat logo looks gaudy though. Still very vfm at 999 rupees. If you don't have much money to spend get it. My advice - don't go for half measures, spend some money and get a pair that you would keep for a longer time. | |

![]() For a small difference in price, AE Standard offers faster service compared to China post, but AE Premium is expensive and I am not sure what carrier they will use. Maybe it could be Fedex or DHL. | |

I suggest ones with a larger pad. At the moment, waiting for a pair from aliexpress. The over-the-ear earphone types that can give about 6-8 hours of play - and with ANC. Last edited by condor : 10th August 2018 at 17:26. | ||

I can very well order these JBL ones for the 2nd person if the experience has been positive. Quote:

I may go for these for myself, as I am looking for VFM. Additionally, if I dislike the experience, I always have the option of exchanging and going for another product. Quote:
So, I see myself using these not more than 60 days in a year, and hence, decided to try out BOAT for myself, but yes - your point is taken for the 2nd set (JBL, mentioned above). Quote:

1) Can you recommend with a larger pad available on Amazon or Flipkart? 2) Can you share details on the product you ordered via Ali Express? Thanks, both. Last edited by Safety is Param : 10th August 2018 at 20:08. | ||||||

It's not about how may days you use, but when you are wearing them you feel the discomfort. Hence I am not in favor of this one. Quote:

But it won't be comfortable wearing longer than 30 mins as there is some discomfort and pain on the ears. So watching movies with these is not a good option. | |
