Audio Innovations
The first thing that stood out to us about the Z40 Ultra was the 32dB Active Noise Cancellation. Let’s get this out of the way – it immersed us fully during testing, fully corroborating the company’s claims. Be it music or calls, it cuts down background noise quite effectively. Plus, another feature we were positively surprised to find was multipoint connectivity. Throughout our time with it, we went about bouncing audio feeds from both our test devices and the earbuds stayed connected to both, with zero hassle.
The BOULT Z40 Ultra prioritizes getting the basics right and then builds on a customizable audio experience that appeals to a wider audience.
The Z40 Ultra’s Dual Stream DSP™ allows for simultaneous dual audio processing, maximizing efficiency without compromising quality. The earphones include three EQ modes—HiFi, Rock, and Bass Boost— and you can conveniently switch between them with 4 taps on the right earbud and find your perfect listening profile. If you love a bass-heavy response, the BoomX™ Technology promises deep, rumbling bass from the 10mm drivers. As for gamers, it supports a 45ms ultra-low latency mode, for a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.
In addition to getting everything on the audio end right, the Z40 Ultra adds all the bells and whistles you don’t expect at this price range. The earbuds pair seamlessly with your devices, using Bluetooth 5.3. It’s got a few other tricks up its sleeves too, like support for codecs such as SBC, mSBC and even high-bitrate ones like AAC, ensuring more than optimal audio streaming performance. With Sonic Core Dynamics™, these TWS earbuds offer hardware-accelerated audio processing for crisp, clear sound.
Swift Charging, Long Play
True wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds are all about convenience, which among other things also hinges on fabulous battery life. Whether you are immersing yourself in your favourite music, indulging in gaming, or collaborating for work, the Z40 Ultra will keep you going without limitations. You won’t have to stress about running out of power mid-commute, workout, or during phone calls.
Boasting a total of 100 hours of playtime, including the buds and the charging case, rest assured, that your adventures will never be interrupted. And If you’re in a rush to head out the door and realise your earbuds are low on battery, you can simply plug them in while you grab your essentials and get ready. With lightning-quick Type-C fast charging, just 10 minutes of being on the charger adds 100 minutes of playtime, so you’ll have enough juice to power you through your commute and beyond.
