San Francisco, Calif., November 10, 2022 — THX Ltd., world-class high-fidelity audio and video tuning, certification, and technology company, and boAt, India’s leading audio earwear brand today announced they have reached a strategic agreement for boAt’s next generation earbuds and headphones to be Tuned by THX™. The agreement includes boAt products to be Tuned by THX for stereo audio acoustics as well as 3D spatial audio acoustics. boAt aims to offer wide-ranging, high-quality, and lifestyle-focused consumer products, and the first set of boAt products under this partnership, namely Rockerz 378, Immortal 1300, and the Airdopes 458, are expected to be exclusively available in India in the first quarter of 2023.
With boAt’s deep industry expertise and track record combined with a market leadership position, the new Tuned by THX™ boAt products aim to offer high quality and aspirational lifestyle-focused consumer products at accessible price points.

Tuned by THX™ products are expertly calibrated by THX audio engineers to compliment the performance of the specific boAt devices. boAt products are Tuned by THX when “Beast mode” is activated. This provides consumers a quality out-of-the-box listening experience, tuned to audio standard targets used by professional content creators. THX provides custom fidelity improvements and balanced reproduction, tuning to the THX optimal frequency response curve which leads to optimized immersive listening.
