The boAt Rockerz 301 ANC is a Bluetooth neckband with active noise cancellation rated at around 30dB, 13mm drivers, ENx call noise reduction, a claimed battery life of up to 40 hours, a 40ms low-latency Beast Mode, a magnetic Hall switch for auto power on and off, IPX5 sweat and splash resistance, and boAt Hearables app support, all according to its Amazon.in listing. It is built for commuters and gym-goers who still prefer a neckband to TWS earbuds and want some noise cancellation on a budget.
Short verdict: on paper, it is one of the more complete budget neckband packages from boAt, combining ANC, a gaming mode and app support. The catches are that “~30dB” ANC is a modest claim, the listing does not say whether the 40-hour figure is with ANC on or off, and basic details such as the Bluetooth version, dual pairing and charging time are not stated.
This article covers the Green colour (model number PP0056 on the listing), which is the variant on our Amazon link. It is based on the Amazon.in listing data captured on 17 October 2026. We tried to open boAt’s official Rockerz 301 ANC page on 17 October 2026 but could not access it, and we found no independent review of this model. Gadget Soch has not tested this boAt Rockerz 301 ANC hands-on, so the figures below are boAt’s listing claims.
Quick verdict
- Best for: bus and metro commuters, office users on calls and casual mobile gamers who like a neckband that never needs a charging case
- Skip if: you want strong ANC for flights and loud trains, a confirmed dual-device connection, or a pocketable TWS design
- Key strengths (listing claims): ~30dB ANC, 13mm drivers, ENx call noise reduction, up to 40 hours of playback, 40ms Beast Mode, Hall switch, IPX5, boAt Hearables app
- Key limitations: modest ANC rating, battery figure without an ANC-on number, Bluetooth version, multipoint and charging details missing from the listing

Active noise cancellation: what “~30dB” means for you
Active noise cancellation uses microphones to pick up outside sound and plays an opposite signal to reduce it. It works best on steady, low-pitched noise such as bus engines, air-conditioner hum and the rumble of a metro. It is far less effective on sudden sounds and voices.
boAt’s listing rates the Rockerz 301 ANC at around 30dB. That is a modest figure compared with some newer budget models that advertise 40dB or more, though brands measure ANC in different ways and these numbers are not directly comparable. Realistically, think of 30dB-class ANC as a way to take the edge off commute noise and let you listen at a lower volume, not as a way to silence a crowded train. Good ear tip fit is essential: ANC works poorly when the tips do not seal, so try the additional tips included in the box.
Sound: 13mm drivers
The listing says the neckband uses 13mm drivers, describing them as high-performance drivers for dynamic audio. Larger drivers can move more air, which often helps bass, but tuning and fit matter just as much. The listing makes no claim about frequency response or codecs, and we found no independent sound test. The boAt Hearables app is said to offer customisable modes, so you should have some control over the sound profile, but the listing does not name specific EQ presets.
Calls with ENx
boAt describes ENx Technology on this listing as a feature that reduces background noise and ensures your voice is heard clearly on calls. This is different from ANC: ENx works on your outgoing voice, while ANC reduces what you hear. The listing’s technical details list both “Active Noise Cancellation” and “Noise Reduction during Calls”, matching that split. The number of microphones is not stated.
Battery life and charging
The listing claims up to 40 hours of playback. Since it does not say whether this is with ANC on or off, assume the figure is the best case. ANC uses extra power, and on most neckbands, battery life with ANC switched on is noticeably shorter. For comparison, OnePlus quotes 28 hours with ANC off and 20 hours with ANC on for its Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC, which shows how large the gap can be.
The listing does not mention charging time, the charging port type or a fast-charge figure. The box includes a cable, so check the port on the product images if you want to share a charger with your phone.
Beast Mode and the Hall switch
Beast Mode is boAt’s low-latency mode, and the listing gives it a figure of 40ms. Lower latency reduces the gap between on-screen action and sound in mobile games. Real-world delay also depends on your phone, so treat 40ms as boAt’s best-case figure.
The Hall switch is a magnetic sensor: according to the listing, joining the earbuds together turns the neckband off and separating them turns it on. This is one of the most practical neckband features, because it saves battery when you hang the neckband around your neck between uses and saves you from holding a power button every time.
App support and the “ad-free music” claim
The listing says the boAt Hearables app offers access to controls, customisable modes, upgrades and troubleshooting fixes. The listing title also mentions “Stream Ad Free Music via App Support”. The listing does not explain which service this refers to, whether it needs a subscription or how long any offer lasts, so treat it as a promotional claim and check the details in the app before relying on it.
A note on controls
The listing’s technical details give the control method as “Touch”. Many neckbands use physical buttons on the cable or the neckband, so check the product images to see what control layout this model has, and read the manual for how to toggle ANC and Beast Mode.
Who should buy it
- Commuters who spend time on buses and metros and want to reduce engine and road rumble without paying for premium ANC
- People who dislike charging cases and want earpieces that hang around the neck between calls
- Gym-goers and walkers who need sweat protection, thanks to the listed IPX5 rating
- Casual mobile gamers who want a low-latency mode
Who should skip it
- Frequent flyers or people on very loud trains who need stronger noise cancellation
- Anyone who regularly switches between a laptop and a phone and needs confirmed dual-device pairing
- Buyers who prefer a small TWS case. For a budget ANC earbud option, see our boAt Airdopes 141 ANC review
- Listeners who want LDAC or other high-resolution codecs, which the listing does not mention
Alternatives worth comparing
- OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC: per OnePlus’s official specifications, hybrid ANC up to 45dB (lab figure), 12.4mm drivers, up to 28 hours with ANC off, a 10-minute charge for up to 20 hours, IP55 and dual connection. A stronger ANC claim, but an older 2023 model. Read our OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC review.
- boAt Rockerz Prime 255Z: no ANC, but its Amazon.in listing claims 50 hours of playback, dual pairing, boAt Spatial Audio, AI-ENx calls, Google Fast Pair, a 65ms Beast Mode, IPX4 and ASAP Charge (10 minutes for 10 hours).
- pTron Tangent Eon: also without ANC. Its Amazon.in listing claims up to 50 hours of playback, Bluetooth 5.4, dual-device pairing, AI-ENC calls, a magnetic on/off switch and IPX5, with a 6-month warranty.
Buying tips before you order
- Confirm the listing shows Rockerz 301 ANC in Green and the ASIN B0FM2Y25HP. Other colours are separate variants and may not be on the same link.
- Check the model number PP0056 on the box on delivery.
- If you need dual pairing, a specific Bluetooth version or a fast-charge figure, confirm it on boAt’s website or the box, because the listing does not state these.
- Keep the invoice for the 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.
- Install the boAt Hearables app on day one to check for firmware updates and see which modes are available.
- Within the return window, test ANC on a bus or near a fan, check both earpieces, the mic on a call and the Hall switch.
