Both models include Blink & Pair™ for faster device pairing, and support popular voice assistants through onboard controls.
In terms of battery life, the FluidX Pro delivers five hours of playback on a 10-minute charge while the standard FluidX delivers up to 60 hours on a full charge and three hours from a 10-minute top-up, appealing to travellers or heavy users.
Design-wise, both headphones are IPX5 water-resistant with foldable frames, rotating ear cups, and adjustable headbands, aimed at enhancing portability and comfort.
The Pro is available in Raven Black and Skin Beige, while the standard model is offered in Black, Green and Ivory White.
The launch comes as BOULT continues to compete in India's crowded audio market, which includes global players like Sony, JBL and OnePlus.
By integrating features like dual-mode noise cancellation and low-latency support, BOULT aims to target an audience of gamers looking for high-performance audio.
'The FluidX series is a testament to the many conversations we've had with our users, coming alive in one powerful series,' said Varun Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO at BOULT. 'We've built something that doesn't just adapt to lifestyles, but powers them.'
Fluid X Pro is priced at Rs 7,999 across all platform and Fluid X at Rs 5,999. Both headphones are now available for purchase via Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra.
