First Impressions
I was curious about the boAt Rockerz 113 when I saw it advertised for its massive 40‑hour battery life and fast‑charge claims. The neckband feels solid yet lightweight, and the magnetic earbuds click into place nicely, which is a small but satisfying detail.
Key Features
- 40 hour total playback and a 10‑minute charge that adds roughly 10 hours of music – the ASAP charge lives up to the hype.
- Dual‑pairing lets me stay connected to my phone and laptop simultaneously; I can switch between a Zoom call and a Spotify playlist without re‑pairing.
- ENx technology provides clear, noise‑reduced voice calls, which is handy when I’m on a noisy commute.
- BEAST mode promises sub‑60 ms latency, and in my casual gaming sessions the audio stays in sync with the video, making it feel less laggy than most Bluetooth neckbands.
- Magnetic buds stay together when I store them, and the IPX5 rating means I can sweat through a HIIT workout without worrying about moisture.
- Integrated touch controls let me play, pause, skip tracks, and answer calls without digging for my phone.
Pros
- Impressive battery life – I can go almost a week without charging if I use the fast‑charge boost.
- Fast charge is genuinely useful; a short coffee break gives me enough juice for a long commute.
- Dual‑device pairing saves time and avoids the annoyance of constant re‑pairing.
- Clear call quality thanks to ENx; background chatter fades away.
- Low latency in BEAST mode makes the earphones viable for casual mobile gaming.
- Magnetic earbuds and IPX5 resistance add convenience and durability.
Cons
- The neckband, while sturdy, can feel a bit bulky after several hours of continuous wear.
- Bass is present but not as punchy as some true‑wireless earbuds; it leans toward a balanced sound signature.
- The companion app is optional and adds little beyond basic EQ tweaks, so it feels a bit superfluous.
- There is no active noise cancellation, so in very loud environments you’ll still hear ambient noise.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Rockerz 113 delivers on its promises. The battery life and quick‑charge feature are the biggest winners, and the dual‑pairing plus ENx call clarity make daily use smooth. If you don’t need heavy bass or ANC and prefer a neck‑band style that stays put during workouts, this is a solid choice at just ₹699. Check the current price and give them a try – you’ll likely be surprised how long a single charge can last.
