The boAt Airdopes 213 is a budget pair of true wireless (TWS) Bluetooth earbuds whose Amazon.in listing highlights a 50-hour battery, ENx call noise reduction, a low-latency Beast Mode, ASAP Charge (5 minutes of charging for 140 minutes of playback) and touch controls. It is aimed at students, commuters and first-time TWS buyers who care more about battery life and easy calls than about blocking outside noise, because it does not have active noise cancellation.
Short verdict: the Airdopes 213 looks like a sensible battery-first everyday pair, but the public spec sheet is unusually thin. The listing does not state the Bluetooth version, driver size, IP rating or a latency figure, so buyers who care about those details should compare it carefully with better-documented alternatives.
This article covers the Shadow Black variant (model number PA0028 on the listing), which is the colour on our Amazon link. It is based on the Amazon.in listing data captured on 17 October 2026 and boAt’s descriptions of the same feature names on its other products. We could not open boAt’s official Airdopes 213 page or its support page on 17 October 2026, and we found no independent review. Gadget Soch has not tested these earbuds hands-on.
Quick verdict
- Best for: everyday listening, calls, online classes and video streaming for people who want long battery life and quick top-ups
- Skip if: you need active noise cancellation, a confirmed IP rating for workouts, a companion app or a published Bluetooth version and codec list
- Key strengths (listing claims): 50-hour battery, ASAP Charge 5 minutes for 140 minutes, ENx call noise reduction, Beast Mode for lower latency, touch controls, 1-year warranty
- Key limitations: no ANC, a vague “water resistant” claim without an IP number, and several basic specs missing from the listing

Battery and ASAP Charge: the headline features
The listing’s biggest claim is 50 hours of battery. For TWS earbuds, a headline figure like this almost always means total playback including several recharges from the case, not one continuous session from the earbuds alone. The Airdopes 213 listing does not split the number between the buds and the case, so you cannot tell from it how long a single listening session lasts. That matters if you plan long flights, train journeys or full-day meetings without putting the buds back in the case.
Battery figures from any brand are usually measured at moderate volume, so heavy bass, high volume, calls and gaming modes tend to reduce real-world runtime. Expect the 50-hour figure to be a best case, not a guarantee.
ASAP Charge is boAt’s name for fast charging. The listing says 5 minutes of charging gives 140 minutes of playback. In practice, that is useful when you notice a low battery just before leaving home: a short top-up can cover a commute or a class. The listing does not say whether this figure applies to the earbuds in the case or to the case itself, and it does not give a full charge time.
Calls: what ENx means
The Airdopes 213 has a built-in mic and boAt’s ENx Technology. boAt does not explain ENx on this listing, but on its Amazon.in listing for the Rockerz 301 ANC it describes ENx as a feature that reduces background noise so your voice is heard clearly on calls. In other words, ENx works on the outgoing mic signal. It does not reduce the noise you hear, and it is not the same as active noise cancellation.
The listing does not say how many microphones the Airdopes 213 uses, and we found no independent call test. For quiet rooms and normal outdoor calls, a budget pair with environmental noise reduction is usually adequate. If you take many calls from busy roads or crowded offices, consider an alternative with a published multi-mic setup.
Beast Mode and gaming
Beast Mode is boAt’s low-latency mode, designed to reduce the delay between what you see on screen and what you hear. boAt quotes different latency figures for Beast Mode on different products, for example 40ms on its Rockerz 301 ANC listing and 65ms on the Rockerz Prime 255Z listing. The Airdopes 213 listing gives no figure, so do not assume it matches either.
Latency matters most in fast mobile games and, to a lesser degree, in video. Most streaming apps compensate for Bluetooth delay automatically, so for YouTube and OTT viewing you may not notice a difference. For competitive gaming, any TWS pair adds some delay compared with wired earphones.
Controls, fit and water resistance
The listing mentions EasyTouch controls and lists the control method as touch. Touch controls are convenient, but they can trigger accidentally when you adjust the buds. The listing does not publish a gesture map, so check the user manual in the box to learn which taps handle play, pause, calls and voice assistant.
The fit is in-ear. The listing’s box contents mention the earphones, a cable and a user manual, but they do not mention spare ear tips, so check what arrives. A good seal matters more than usual on earbuds without ANC, because the tips are the only thing blocking outside noise.
The listing describes the earbuds as water resistant but does not give an IP rating. Without a rating, you cannot judge how much sweat or splashing they can take. Treat them as light-rain and light-sweat earbuds until you confirm an official rating.
Sound and the 120-ohm impedance figure
The listing confirms dynamic drivers but not their size, and makes no specific sound claims beyond the general feature names. We found no published frequency response or independent listening test. The listing also gives an impedance of 120 ohms. For Bluetooth earbuds, impedance has little practical meaning for buyers, because the amplifier is built into the earbuds and your phone only sends a digital signal. You can safely ignore it when comparing TWS models.
Who should buy it, and who should skip it
The Airdopes 213 makes sense for buyers who want a simple, long-lasting pair for music, YouTube, online classes and calls, and who value a fast top-up and a 1-year warranty.
Look elsewhere if you commute on noisy roads or trains and want quieter listening (choose an ANC model), if you work out hard and need a confirmed IP rating, or if you like checking Bluetooth version, codecs and driver size before buying.

Before you order: a short checklist
- Confirm the listing title says Airdopes 213 and Shadow Black, and the ASIN is B0FL2SJTB2.
- Check the model number PA0028 on the box when it arrives.
- Look for the Bluetooth version, IP rating and charging port on boAt’s website or the box if those matter to you, since the listing does not state them.
- Keep the invoice for the 1-year warranty, which runs from the date of purchase according to the listing.
- Test both earbuds, the mic, touch controls and charging within the return window.

Getting started and caring for TWS earbuds
These are general tips for budget TWS earbuds. Follow the user manual for model-specific steps.
- Charge the case fully before first use so both earbuds start balanced.
- Pair from your phone’s Bluetooth settings with the earbuds out of the case or the lid open, as the manual describes. If only one earbud plays, put both back in the case, close it, and try again.
- If you game, check how to switch Beast Mode on and off in the manual, and turn it off when you only listen to music in case it affects battery life.
- Wipe the earbuds and charging contacts with a dry cloth. Dirty contacts are a common reason one bud stops charging.
- Do not leave the case in a hot car or in direct sun, since heat shortens battery life.
Frequently asked questions
Does the boAt Airdopes 213 have ANC?
No. The Amazon.in listing gives noise control as “None”. Its ENx feature reduces background noise on calls for the person you are talking to, not the noise you hear.
How long does the Airdopes 213 battery last?
The listing claims 50 hours. It does not split this between the earbuds and the case, so a single session will be shorter than 50 hours. Real-world runtime also depends on volume and usage.
How fast does it charge?
The listing says ASAP Charge gives 140 minutes of playback from 5 minutes of charging. It does not give a full charge time.
Is the Airdopes 213 waterproof?
The listing calls it water resistant but gives no IP rating, so avoid swimming, showering or heavy rain with it.
What is the warranty?
According to the Amazon.in listing, 1 year from the date of purchase.
The bottom line
The boAt Airdopes 213 offers what most budget buyers ask for first: a big battery claim, quick charging, a call mic with noise reduction, a gaming mode and a 1-year warranty. What holds it back is how little boAt’s Amazon listing tells you. If the missing details matter, the better-documented alternatives above are safer choices.
