Boult Probass Ranger Vs Melomane Melophone Opera: 4 – Factor Comparison

We’ll compare these two headphones across four different features and then give our verdict.

1. Build Quality

Both these headphones vary in their build, so let’s discuss their differences.

Boult Probass Ranger

Boult Probass Ranger has a metallic arch on the headband that gives them added structure. They have an over-the-ear design with ear cups covering your ears. The headband is adjustable, so you can change it according to your head size.

They have used a wooden design for the ear cup, which gives a good look. They are slightly bulky and can’t be folded, so they are not the most travel friendly.

Overall the build and the material feel nice, and they look durable to us.

Melomane Melophone Opera

Melomane comes with a premium plastic build. It also has a metallic look on the earcups, which gives them a different look. The ear cups are foldable, and the padding on the cushion is exceptionally soft.

The headband is adjustable with an aluminum build inside, so you can adjust it according to your head.

Since they are foldable, Melomane has provided an extra travel case with this which is hard to find at this price point, so extra points for that. The travel case is of excellent quality.

Who Wins?

Both are tied when it comes to build but Melomane gets extra points for being more travel friendly.

2. Comfort

Comfort is essential when choosing a pair of headphones, so let’s see which one has the comfier pair.

Boult Probass Ranger

Probass Ranger are over-the-ear headphones that cover your ears and have good padding. However, they are slightly stiffer when compared to Melomane.

 Because of their design, they cover your ears giving passive noise isolation.

However, the clamping force on these is higher, so you can’t wear them for long periods.

Melomane Melophone Opera

Melophone Opera are also over-the-ear headphones, they have slightly softer padding, and you’ll feel comfortable wearing them.

The clamping force on these is low, and the padding is also good, so you can wear these for long hours without any issues.

They also offer passive noise isolation because they cover your ears.

Who Wins?

Both are similar in form factor, but Melomane wins for softer padding and less clamping force from the two headphones.

3. Sound Quality

Let’s compare the sound quality of both these headphones.

Boult Probass Ranger

Boult comes with 50mm drivers. We felt that Boult’s sound quality was superior because of the bigger drivers. Boult’s sound felt clearer, and there was a good amount of bass. The gaming experience was smooth, and we didn’t notice any latency while testing.

We tested out calling in these, and the audio was good; we didn’t notice any disturbance.

Melomane Melophone Opera

Melomane comes with 40mm drivers. We tested them across different media, and we are disappointed to say that we felt the listening experience could have been better.

Also, I was not too fond of the sound quality of these. I tested them out for calls, and the sound came out slightly muffled.

Who Wins?

Boult is the clear winner because of the 50mm audio drivers and better sound quality. It is better across the board with good gaming and calling experience.
