boAt Airdopes Prime 413 Review: 4-Mic Calling Earbuds With Multipoint, No ANC

The boAt Airdopes Prime 413 is a budget true wireless earbud built around calling and convenience rather than noise cancellation. boAt lists four AI-ENx microphones, multipoint connectivity, up to 50 hours of total playback with the case, IPX5 sweat and splash resistance and support for the boAt Hearables app. The short verdict: it suits people who take a lot of calls and switch between a phone and a laptop, but anyone who wants active noise cancellation (ANC) should look elsewhere, because boAt’s own support page says ANC is not supported.

This article covers the Active Black variant sold on Amazon.in under ASIN B0FLQ92QJ1 (model number PP0017 on the listing). It is based on boAt’s official product and support pages and the Amazon.in listing, all checked on 17 October 2026. It is not a hands-on review, and no listening, battery or call tests were done for it.

Note that boAt’s own pages disagree on driver size, Bluetooth version and fast-charge figures. The differences are shown below.

Quick verdict

• Best for: students and office users who want long battery life, clear-sounding calls in noisy places and phone-plus-laptop multipoint
• Skip if: you want ANC for flights, metro rides or open offices, or you want high-resolution codecs such as LDAC
• Key strengths: four ENx call mics, multipoint on by default, up to 50 hours total playback, IPX5 rating, 60 ms BEAST Mode for games, app with EQ presets and firmware updates
• Key limitations: no ANC according to boAt support, no aptX, inconsistent driver and Bluetooth figures across boAt’s own pages, extended warranty only for purchases from boAt’s website or app

The ANC question: what you actually get

The most important thing to understand about the Airdopes Prime 413 is the difference between call noise reduction and active noise cancellation. The Amazon.in listing’s technical table includes the line “Active Noise Cancellation”, but the product title and feature bullets only talk about AI-ENx, and boAt’s support article for the Airdopes Prime 413 states plainly that ANC is not supported.

ENx (environmental noise cancellation) works on your outgoing voice, helping the person on the other end hear you over traffic or chatter. It does nothing to reduce the noise you hear. ANC uses anti-noise to quieten engine rumble in your own ears. If that is your goal, this is not the right product, and the “Active Noise Cancellation” line on the listing should be treated as an error unless boAt confirms otherwise.

Calls and multipoint: the real reason to buy it

With two microphones in each earbud, boAt pitches the Prime 413 primarily as a calling earbud. How well that works in practice depends on tuning that a spec sheet cannot show.

Multipoint is the other headline. boAt’s support page says it is on by default and supports two devices at once, so you can keep the earbuds linked to a phone and a laptop together and take a call on one while the other stays connected. If it misbehaves, boAt suggests toggling “Multipoint Connectivity” in the app’s System tab.

For Android users, Google Fast Pair is listed, which means a pop-up pairing prompt on supported phones. boAt also lists its Insta Wake N’ Pair (IWP) feature.

Sound and drivers

This is where the official information is least consistent. The Amazon.in listing and the product page FAQ say 12 mm drivers, the support article says 11 mm, and a note on the product page mentions 13 mm. Driver size on its own says little about tuning quality, so this is not a reason to buy or avoid, but boAt has not presented it clearly.

What is clearer is the software. The boAt Hearables app offers EQ presets named Balanced, Rock, Classic, Pop and Club plus a Custom option, according to the support page. The product page also describes a BEAST Mode bass enhancement, while the support page describes BEAST Mode as a low-latency gaming mode with a 60 ms figure. The support page lists a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and says aptX is not supported, and no high-resolution codec is listed.

Gaming latency

The 60 ms latency claim for BEAST Mode appears both on the Amazon.in listing and on boAt’s support page. Lower latency narrows the gap between on-screen action and sound, which matters in fast mobile shooters and rhythm games. Real-world delay also depends on your phone and the game, and no independent measurement was found, so treat 60 ms as boAt’s claim.

Battery and charging

boAt claims up to 50 hours of total playback with the charging case. The support page lists a 40 mAh battery in each earbud and a 470 mAh case, with charge times of about 35 minutes for the earbuds and 90 minutes for the case over USB Type-C. No per-charge earbud figure was given.

The fast-charge number is another mismatch. The Amazon.in listing says 10 minutes of ASAP Charge gives 150 minutes of playback, while the support page says 240 minutes. Plan around the lower figure until boAt clarifies.

boAt’s support page also gives a practical warning that is worth repeating: charge the case with a 5V/2A adapter, a computer or a power bank, and do not use 9V or 12V chargers, which it says can damage the case.

Fit, controls and durability

The earbuds are in-ear with touch controls. By default, a single tap on either side plays or pauses and answers calls, a double tap on the left goes back a track, a double tap on the right skips forward and a three-second hold on the left calls up Google Assistant or Siri. The app’s Touch tab lets you reassign single and double taps. Either earbud can also be used alone in mono mode.

The IPX5 rating covers sweat and water jets, which is fine for workouts and rain, but boAt’s support page warns against submerging the earbuds or wearing them while swimming or showering.

Who should buy it, and who should skip it

Buy it if you spend your day on calls, work across a phone and a laptop, and want a long battery claim with a sweat-resistant design.

Skip it if you specifically need ANC or want LDAC or aptX for higher-bitrate audio. Also skip it if you need volume control directly on the earbuds out of the box, since boAt’s support page says integrated volume controls are not supported by default.

Alternatives worth comparing

• Noise ALT Buds: Noise’s official launch post lists up to 35 dB ANC, Spatial Audio, an 11 mm driver, four ENC mics, Bluetooth 6.0, dual pairing, IPX5 and up to 45 hours of total playtime, so it is the obvious step up if you want ANC with similar call features
• Noise ALT Buds (S): according to Noise, this everyday model drops ANC and Spatial Audio but keeps quad ENC mics, Bluetooth 6.0, dual pairing, IPX5, up to 45 hours and adds a Low Latency Mode
• boAt Nirvana Ion ANC Pro: its Amazon.in listing claims LDAC support, ANC of up to about 32 dB, up to 120 hours of playback and four ENx mics on Bluetooth 5.3, but the listing marks it as not water resistant

What to check before you order

• Variant: the link in this article is for the Active Black colour (ASIN B0FLQ92QJ1). boAt also sells Green and Cool White, so confirm the colour on the product page before paying
• Do not confuse it with the Airdopes 413 ANC: boAt also sells a separate Airdopes 413 ANC, which its product page lists with 10 mm drivers, dual ENx mics, Bluetooth 5.2 and IPX4. The similar name hides a different product
• Box contents: boAt’s product page lists earbuds, case, Type-C cable, a smart guide, two extra pairs of ear tips and a silicone cover. The Amazon.in listing only says cable and earbuds, so check what arrives
• Warranty: the Amazon.in listing states 1 year. boAt’s extra 3-month extended warranty applies only to purchases made on its own website or app, so do not expect it on an Amazon order
• Charger: use a 5V adapter, laptop port or power bank, as boAt advises against 9V or 12V chargers

Frequently asked questions

Does the boAt Airdopes Prime 413 have ANC?

No, according to boAt. Its support page for the Airdopes Prime 413 says active noise cancellation is not supported. The four AI-ENx mics reduce background noise on calls only, for the person you are talking to.

How long does the battery last?

boAt claims up to 50 hours of total playback including the case. Fast charging is quoted as 150 minutes from a 10-minute charge on the listing and 240 minutes on boAt’s support page.

Is it good for gaming?

boAt lists a BEAST Mode with 60 ms latency, which is useful for casual mobile gaming. It is a manufacturer claim and no independent latency test was found.

Can I use it while running or at the gym?

Yes. It is rated IPX5 for sweat and splashes, but boAt says it should not be submerged or used for swimming or showering.

How do I reset the Airdopes Prime 413?

Conclusion

The boAt Airdopes Prime 413 makes sense as a no-fuss calling and commuting earbud: four call mics, multipoint, a 50-hour battery claim, IPX5 and a usable app. It is not an ANC earbud, whatever the listing’s tech table says, and you should rely on the features every boAt page agrees on (mics, multipoint, battery, IPX5) rather than exact driver or Bluetooth numbers. If those strengths match your needs, check the current price of the Airdopes Prime 413 on Amazon.in and confirm the Active Black variant before ordering.
