The Boltune BT-BH024 are decently versatile truly wireless in-ears, but like many budget headphones, they lack many features. Overall, they have a bass-heavy sound profile that provides an extra thump and punch to your favorite music. These lightweight in-ears have a decently comfortable fit, and they're stable enough to use during runs and light exercise. You can also bring them on the go thanks to their portable charging case, which can provide around five extra charges. Unfortunately, their integrated microphone isn't ideal for phone calls, their control scheme isn't very intuitive, and there aren't any customization features available.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are decent for mixed usage. Their in-ear fit is decently comfortable, and they have a portable design. Overall, they have a slightly bass-heavy sound profile that can keep you pumped up during a workout or a long day at work. On the downside, like many budget headphones, they don't have a companion app, ANC, or sound customization options.

Pros
  • Portable design.
  • Good stability.
  • Long continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Control scheme isn't very intuitive.
  • Struggle to block out engines and bass-heavy sounds.
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Neutral Sound 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are fair for neutral sound. They have a bass-heavy sound profile that can please fans of bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop but may not be ideal for listeners who prefer a more neutral audio reproduction. Their mid-range is well-balanced, so vocals and lead instruments are still present and clear in the mix. On the downside, their treble range is a bit recessed, so S and T sounds may sound dull and lifeless. Overall, they're suitable for most music genres, but they aren't ideal for critical listening.

Pros
  • Bass-heavy sound.
Cons
  • No sound customization features.
0.0
Commute/Travel 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are good for commute and travel. They're decently comfortable, and if you like an in-ear fit, you can wear them for long periods without fatigue. They're also very portable, and their hard charging case helps protect them when you're on the go. Their nine-hour battery life is pretty good for truly wireless in-ears, and their charging case comes with around five extra charges, so you don't have to worry about recharging frequently. On the downside, they don't do a good job passively blocking out bass-heavy sounds like bus and plane engines.

Pros
  • Good at passively isolating noise.
  • Portable design.
  • Long continuous battery life.
Cons
  • Struggle to block out engines and bass-heavy sounds.
0.0
Sports/Fitness 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are great for sports and fitness. Like most truly wireless in-ears, they're very portable, and they come with a small charging case for when you're on the go. These decently comfortable headphones come with three different sizes of earbud tips to help you find the most stable fit. They also have an IPX7 rating for water resistance, though we don't test for this. Unfortunately, their touch-sensitive controls aren't very intuitive, so it may take you a while to get used to their control scheme.

Pros
  • Portable design.
  • Good stability.
Cons
  • Control scheme isn't very intuitive.
0.0
Office 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are adequate for office use. These lightweight in-ears have a decently comfortable fit, though they won't be ideal for everyone. On the upside, they do a good job passively isolating noise, especially typical office sounds like voices and AC units. They don't leak much noise, so you shouldn't bother your coworkers with your music. Also, their nine-hour battery life and portable charging case with around five extra charges should be more than enough to get you through your workday and your commute.

Pros
  • Good at passively isolating noise.
  • Long continuous battery life.
Cons
  • No ANC.
  • In-ear fit not ideal for all users.
0.0
Wireless Gaming 

The Boltune BT-BH024 aren't recommended for wireless gaming. They're Bluetooth-only, so they aren't compatible with the PS4 or the Xbox One. They can be connected to Bluetooth-enabled PCs, but their high latency may not be suitable for gaming.

0.0
Wired Gaming 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are wireless-only headphones that can't be used for wired gaming.

0.0
Phone Calls 

The Boltune BT-BH024 are acceptable for phone calls. Their integrated microphone can make your voice sound thin, muffled, and lacking in detail. The mic also has a disappointing noise handling performance, so your voice may be drowned out unless you're calling from a quiet environment. On the upside, these comfortable in-ears do a good job passively isolating noise, so background noise shouldn't distract you from your call.

Pros
  • Integrated microphone.
  • Good at passively isolating noise.
Cons
  • No ANC.
  • Disappointing noise handling performance.
