The boAt Airdopes 121 Pro Plus are budget truly wireless earbuds built around one headline claim: up to 100 hours of playback with the charging case, according to the Amazon.in listing. The same listing adds four microphones with boAt’s ENx call noise reduction, a BEAST gaming mode rated at 50ms latency, 10mm drivers, Insta Wake N’ Pair, an LED display, fast charging and app support. If you want earbuds you rarely need to charge and you do not need active noise cancellation, they are worth a look.
This review covers the Black variant on Amazon.in. It is based on the Amazon.in listing data captured on 17 October 2026 plus general buying advice, not on hands-on testing. The official boAt product page could not be opened on that date, so every product claim here is attributed to the listing, and where the listing contradicts itself, we say so.
Quick verdict
- Best for: heavy listeners, travellers and students who hate charging earbuds every few days
- Best for: casual mobile gamers who want a low-latency mode with a stated figure (50ms)
- Skip if: you need active noise cancellation, a confirmed IPX rating, or multipoint pairing
- Key strengths (listing claims): up to 100 hours playback, 4 mics with ENx, BEAST mode at 50ms, 10mm drivers, LED display on the case, app support
- Key limitations: no confirmed ANC, no Bluetooth version, IPX rating or per-charge battery figure on the listing, and one technical field that conflicts with the rest

Listing claims checked: what is stated and what is missing
| Claim | What the listing says | What is missing or unclear |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | Up to 100 hours of playback | No per-charge earbud figure |
| Fast charge | Listed in the title | No minutes-to-hours figure |
| Noise control | 4 mics with ENx for calls | One field says Active Noise Cancellation, which the title and bullets do not claim |
| Gaming | 50ms latency in BEAST mode | Measured conditions not stated |
| LED display | Listed in the title | What it shows is not described |
| App support | Listed in the title | App features not described |
| Bluetooth | Not stated | Version, range and codecs unknown |
| Water resistance | Not stated | No IPX rating |
The noise-control conflict is the most important. ENx is boAt’s name for microphone noise reduction on calls, which helps the person you are talking to hear you. It does not reduce the noise you hear. Since the title and feature bullets describe only ENx and never active noise cancellation, we treat the ANC entry as a listing error. Do not buy these expecting ANC.
The technical details also list a case charging time of 5 minutes, which is not plausible as a full-charge time and probably refers to a fast-charge top-up, though the listing does not say how much playback that gives. We have left it out of the specs above.
The 100-hour battery claim, in context
A 100-hour figure is a total for the earbuds plus the energy stored in the charging case. It tells you how long you can go between plugging the case into a wall, not how long the earbuds play in one session. That second number, the per-charge figure, is not on this listing.
For a typical user listening two to four hours a day, a 100-hour total could mean charging the case roughly once every few weeks, based on the claim. Real results depend on volume, call time and whether BEAST mode is on, since higher volume and low-latency modes generally use more power. Claimed figures are typically measured under favourable conditions, so expect less in daily use.
The LED display listed in the title is likely to help here, since a case display usually shows remaining charge, but the listing does not describe what it shows. Check the product images on the listing to see the display.
Calls with four ENx mics
According to the listing, the four ENx-enabled mics are designed to cut background sound from roads, airports, malls and busy workplaces so your voice comes through more clearly. Two microphones per earbud is a common layout for this, letting software compare sounds and suppress what is not your voice.
No microphone system in budget earbuds fully removes wind and traffic noise, and we have not seen independent call tests for this model. Treat the listing’s description as the brand’s claim. If most of your calls happen outdoors on a two-wheeler or in heavy wind, a neckband or headset with a boom mic may still serve you better.
BEAST mode and gaming
BEAST mode is boAt’s low-latency setting, and the listing gives a figure of 50ms. Latency is the delay between something happening on screen and you hearing it. Lower is better, and a stated figure is more useful than vague wording. For mobile games and video streaming, a mode in this range should reduce the out-of-sync feeling that some Bluetooth earbuds have. Competitive players who want zero delay should still consider wired earphones.
Sound and fit
The listing describes boAt’s bass-rich Signature Sound from 10mm drivers with an impedance of 17 ohms. Impedance matters more for wired headphones; in wireless earbuds the built-in amplifier drives the speakers, so treat it as background information rather than a reason to choose them.
Without independent reviews, we are not making claims about how the 121 Pro Plus sound. The listing itself calls the tuning bass-rich, and fit makes a big difference: the box includes additional ear tips, according to the listing, so try the sizes to find a proper seal. A good seal improves bass and blocks more outside noise.
Insta Wake N’ Pair connects the earbuds as soon as you open the case lid, according to the listing, which makes everyday use quicker once you have paired them the first time.
Who should buy the Airdopes 121 Pro Plus
- People who want the longest possible time between charges and rarely carry a charger
- Casual gamers who want a published low-latency figure
- Buyers who value an LED display on the case for checking charge
- Anyone who takes calls in moderately noisy places and wants multi-mic noise reduction
Who should skip it
- Commuters who want active noise cancellation to cut engine and traffic noise
- Runners and gym users who need a stated IPX rating
- People who switch between a phone and laptop and want confirmed multipoint connectivity
- Listeners who want detailed app EQ or a confirmed list of app features before buying

Buying tips before you order
- Confirm the exact model: boAt sells many similarly named earbuds. The listing title should say Airdopes 121 Pro Plus and Black.
- Check the features you care about: because the listing does not state the Bluetooth version, IPX rating or app features, look at the product images or ask in the questions section.
- Box contents: the listing names the earbuds, a charging cable, additional ear tips and a user manual. No wall adapter is listed.
- Warranty in India: the listing states a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your invoice, and prefer the boAt brand store or an authorised seller.
- Phone compatibility: any Bluetooth phone should work for basic listening. App support depends on the boAt app being available for your phone.

Frequently asked questions
Does the boAt Airdopes 121 Pro Plus have ANC?
Not according to the title and feature bullets, which describe 4 mics with ENx for clearer calls. One technical field on the listing says Active Noise Cancellation, but that conflicts with the rest of the listing, so do not expect ANC.
How long does the battery last?
The listing claims up to 100 hours of playback including the charging case. It does not state how long the earbuds last on a single charge.
What is the latency in BEAST mode?
The listing states 50ms in BEAST mode.
Are the Airdopes 121 Pro Plus water resistant?
The listing does not give an IPX or water-resistance rating, so avoid using them in rain or heavy sweat until you confirm it.
What warranty does boAt give?
The listing states a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.
Final verdict
The boAt Airdopes 121 Pro Plus suit buyers whose priority is a very long claimed battery, with useful extras such as a 50ms gaming mode, four call mics and an LED case display. The listing leaves real gaps, including the Bluetooth version, water resistance and per-charge battery life, and it should not be mistaken for an ANC model.
