Xplosive is the latest wireless headphone offering from Toreto and it comes with Bluetooth connectivity, 3.5mm wired aux connectivity as well as built-in FM radio.
These headphones also have built-in LED lights on the ear-cups that flash. Trouble is that you cannot turn these light effects off – so if you are using these in an office or just walking around with them in the evening, you will look weird with LED lights flashing on your ears.
The build quality of the headphones is another issue – Toreto has given a glossy finish on the headband and the earcups which makes it look cheap. The button quality is also not up to the mark. Plus, the glossy finish picks up smudges very quickly.
The headband has very little padding and the ear-cups padding is also not soft – we could not wear them longer than an hour as it became uncomfortable. Sound output is the saving grace – volume level is loud, vocals are clear and there is a good amount of thumping bass.
Battery life on a full charge with 50% volume is around 4 hours which is average.
At about the same price, you can consider the Leaf Bass 2 or the Sound One BT-06 which offer much better battery life.

However, like most budget headphones, this one also suffers from distorted audio quality once you cross the 70% volume level. FM radio reception is poor, and we were barely able to catch 3 stations while standing outside in the open. Battery life on a full charge with 50% volume is around 4 hours which is average.
