The differences

- Vega VHTH38 carries an MRP mismatch. Its listings show different maximum retail prices
Which one to buy
These are not really competing at the same price: Boat S100 costs ₹179 more than Vega VHTH38, 36% above it. The question is less which is better value and more whether Boat S100 does something you actually need.
Buyer ratings don't separate them. 4.1★ and 4.0★ are close enough to be noise, across 3,318 and 18,483 ratings. Neither product is carrying a reputation problem the other avoids.
One caveat that only shows up across platforms: Vega VHTH38 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 Vega VHTH38 is calculated from an MRP that differs between listings.
The ₹499 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.
