The differences

Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Philips BT1232 costs ₹200 more than Boat S100, 29% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Philips BT1232 does something you actually need.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.1★ are close enough to be noise, across 3,318 and 190,095 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Philips BT1232 carries an MRP mismatch, meaning its listings show different maximum retail prices, while Boat S100 does not. That does not tell us which listing is wrong, or why, but it does mean the discount percentage on Philips BT1232 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹678 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.

Common questions
Is Boat S100 or Philips BT1232 cheaper?
Boat S100 is cheaper today by ₹200. Both are tracked daily, so this can change.
Are the discounts on these two products reliable?
At least one of them has platforms declaring different MRPs for the same item, so the percentage off is calculated from a figure that cannot be right on both. Compare the rupee prices above instead.
