BOAT ROCKERZ 450
SOUND QUALITY
– Sound quality is amazing for this price and Virtualization is good.
BASS
– Average bass is not so good or bad, it lies in the middle.
COMFORT
It- Not so comfortable, but it is better than boat rockerz 400, The ear cups are bigger than boat rockerz 400.
CONNECTIVITY
– Connecting faster to devices. The range is very good, I didn’t face any connectivity loss up to 10m, and also it has a dual pairing feature. There is audio latency when playing games and No audio latency when watching videos.
CONTROLS
– It is very easy to control and They have kept multifunctional or integrated controls ( Refer to the booklet provided inside the box ).
MICROPHONE
– Mic is good, Not as bad as boat rockerz 400.
NOISE CANCELLATION
– They have used passive noise cancellation, It doesn’t seem to reduce any outside unwanted ambient noises.
BATTERY
– Standby time is amazing as mentioned by the Boat, Charging time takes upto 2 hrs 30 minutes.
BUILD QUALITY AND MATERIAL
– They have used good plastic material but the slider for adjusting the size of the headphones is not good, the wire gets popped out when sliding. Pls, be careful when sliding. The ear cups and headband cushion is soft and sweatproof, the water gets easily evaporated.
DESIGN
– It features an on-ear design and the ear cups are bigger than boat rockerz 400 . It is lightweight but not a sturdy design, which is not intended for jogging or running purposes. For gym, it can be used to do strength or weight training or weight lifting workouts not for aerobic or cardio workouts. The folding design is amazing for the safety of the headphones, it can be easily folded which is easy to place on flat surfaces.
LOOK
– Premium look with matte black finish, looks sexy when wearing the headphones.
VERDICT
Waited for a long time to get a good wireless headphone with a premium look and design. You will never get a premium look headphone with HD sound & nice battery backup at this price segment, Overall a great value for money.

Detailed Review: compared with Sony headphones in the same price range
I am using Sony Headphones for over 2 years now, which were sufficiently good for me. They got damaged somehow, and new sony wireless headphones cost a whole lot than this headphone so I would’ve had to buy the wired ones, so went for boat. So I’ll be comparing these with Sony wired headphones in the same price range (<2000) (believe me, I’ve used all variants/models)
Pros:
- The look: The Black ones that I bought look sick. Fallen in love. If you’re a black lover like me, go for boat rockerz 450 instead of 510!
- Bluetooth: it works crisp. I get range in my whole room and even when I keep the phone in my room and go into another room. Excellent.
- Price: I got them at ₹1199 at Republic Day sale 2020. Worth it.
- Aux cable: They provided me the aux cable. Everybody has confusion whether they’ll provide or not, but they did to me.
- Sound Quality: Decent. Nice bass. If you have been using earphones, you’ll love these headphones.
- Noise cancellation: My Sony ones didn’t have noise cancellation but these do, and it’s awesome.
Cons:
- I’ve been using Sony and the sound quality of Sony is better than this.
- The Bass of the Sony headphones was way better than these. Believe me, these are not at all bad(you’ll love them) but if you are coming from Sony or JBL, you’ll get a bit disappointed.
- Latency: If you want to play games with these headphones, you will have to use the AUX cable to do that. Can’t play games wirelessly, because the game sound will lag too much, making them unpalatable. I tried PUBG, free fire, call of duty, etc. Nearly all of them. But I’m fine with it really, because when you play games on your phone is in your hand anyway, so use the damn aux cable.
Conclusion:
I was getting JBL ones for 1999 but didn’t go for them because they didn’t have aux support. Sony wireless headphones do have it, but they cost a lot more (4000 atleast) so couldn’t buy them as well.
If you are ok with spending 4000 go with Sony. If you don’t really need an aux cable support go with JBL. If you are ok with wired headphones go with Sony wired as they are in the same price range as these.
So at this price range, these are literally the best wireless headphones you can buy. If this is your budget, go for it.
I find these sexier than boat rockerz 510 but I’m a black lover and this is my opinion.
If you found this review helpful, hit a thumbs up and help others.

Awesome headphones @1399/- (lighting deal)
These are the best you can get for the price of 1399/-
-Sound quality 5/5
Used Both wired and via Bluetooth. (Tested wired on the stock aux of boat 400, also a little less bass on Bluetooth but that’s expected)
-Build 4.5/5
Though I trust boAt the extension of ear cups is via plastic zip lock kind of thing which may lead to early wear and cause headphones to go loose.
-Design 5/5 (Over-ear if you don’t have large ears)
Awesome design and form factor and the cups are comparatively more comfortable and larger than boAt 400.
-Inbox contents 4/5
The only drawback here is that there is no aux included like in the previous versions but that’s not an issue as it was foretold in the item description.
Edit after a month of thorough usage:-
-Comfort 3.5/5
Will cause sweating and minor numbness or pain after longer usages i.e. watching complete movies etc.
Battery life 5/5
Working as described completes 7-8 hours of backup, needless to say, it also charges quickly i.e. within 1.5-2 hours.
Overall best headphones to get at the price range of 1500/- and below, just wait a bit for the lightning deal, and the viola best offer ever.

Plug into Nirvana – Good looking, Easy to carry, Quality headphones around Rs. 1.5 K
Rockerz 450 is my Second Headphone from boAt, the other being Rockerz 510.
+ Packing – Comes in a great packing which looks good and easy to unpack
+ Design – This is a good-looking headphone with a cute Circumaural design (not that big as Rockers 510). Graphics over-the-ear cups are just nice. When I rub my hands over the cups and I could feel the quality of the material. I was late to notice that the cups can be rotated to 180 degrees.
+ Comfort – Smaller headphones when compared Rocker 510, still the cups are large and soft enough to impart a Cozy feeling.
+ Sound quality – I am using this one for general listening as well as editing my YouTube videos, and the sound quality is good enough for me.
+ Volume and Playback Controls – Playback and volume control on the rear side of the ear cup lets you skip tracks and adjust the volume.
+ Bluetooth – Connectivity is just great. I am able to move within all rooms of a 1500 sqft Floor.
+ Battery Life – I recharge the headphone once in 2 days after using them for 7 to 8 hours with intermittent intervals.
+ Economic when compared with other brands in this segment.
– Noise cancellation is not working as advertised.
– The buttons assigned for volume aren’t smooth enough and make an uncomfortable noise.
Verdict
A good-looking, easy-to-carry, quality headphone, recommended for people who are looking for a good quality headphone within Rs. 1200-1600. I bought my piece for Rs. 1499. and when I write this review a week later, I see that the price came to Rs. 1199 as a part of Festival Sale. So, I think this is the best time to buy it.
Moreover, Welcome/Exit messages are just Awesome.
While we switch on this gadget, a Super Energetic guy says, Power on. You Plugged into Nirvana!
At the exit, Adieu Amigo, Powering off!
love & regards

Not durable at all!!!
It has great sound quality and bass but after (2 months) of use they got a break without any falling or jerk. I was wearing it normally and it got a break from one side.
I call to customer care service no. but no reply is coming, I also filed a complaint on Boat official website for a warranty claim but no response is coming from there too. And there is no service center where I can approach my claim.
So my 1499 are wasted now…

Boat makes the best value Products that only last briefly
[BIG UPDATE]
IT BROKE ALONG THE RIGHT HINGE, I WAS WEARING IT NORMALLY AND IT SPLIT OPEN ON ONE SIDE.
The extenders are weak. ( Pic included) My boat 400s broke at the center too. They need to concentrate less on celebrity endorsements and use the profits on materials and quality control. They still worked so I taped it up with a metal sheet. Still will give 2 stars for the sound.
[ORIGINAL REVIEW]
I’ve owned boat products such as the Rockerz 400 and some of their earphones and this is the best experience I’ve had with the product.
Review after 1 day of use and will update
The price I paid 1800
Pros:
- Packaging is good for the first time
- The build and finish are on par with headphones costing 3 times as much.
- The range is next level, didn’t experience any loss of connection in my entire house with the phone kept in one position.
- Boat headphones have always been super uncomfortable but this time they have actually thought of that.
- The cups are big and soft enough to fit your ears inside so they are over the ear.
- The base is not amazing, let’s just say it’s above average, the sound is like a 20 % improvement on the Rockerz 400.
- They have gone for an organic approach for the sound so the highs and lows are just ok.
- Battery life is just as advertised
- You literally can’t find a better pair of headphones for less than 3k for sure.
Cons
- I was not sure about how they actually look when I ordered cos the image of the product kept changing, it had flat cups and then doughnut-type cups.
- It’s not as loud as I want it to be
- They didn’t include an aux Cable which is crazy as they ship those with all other models.
- It does get warm in these and you will sweat
- No noise canceling as they mentioned and passive design is not that good

Simply Awful
The boAt Rockerz line is boAt’s super cheap lineup for budget buyers. This will likely be many people’s first foray into the world of wireless headphones and is likely to turn many people off by its many compromises. It might be worth buying your grandma as a gift, but is not something I’d ever recommend buying for your own use.
- Sound Quality – awful. Honestly, the boAt Rockerz 450 does little more than bring your phone’s audio loser to your ears. It isn’t any significant improvement over your phone’s speaker, and might actually be an active downgrade from your computer’s speakers. Most audio sounds tinny, there’s little to no bass, and absolutely zero noise cancellation. On or off, you can and will hear the outside world. Those who carry wireless headphones to tune out the outside world on walks or airplanes will be sorely disappointed. The soundstage is very small and shallow, and even non-audiophiles will notice the poor sound quality.
- Comfort – Horrendous. The boAt Rockerz 450 is a pain to wear, both literally and figuratively. The audio sounds horrible, and your ears will feel horrible too after an hour of use, maybe less. The good battery life means nothing if you can’t use these headphones for more than 45 minutes at a time. After removing these headphones, your ears will hurt for a long while, and you’ll feel like never wearing these again. The cans are very small, even for on-ear headphones, and people with spectacles or large heads will be even worse off. The frame doesn’t extend very far, and also slips down quite easily.
- Build Quality – In a word – bad. See a pattern here? The headphones reflect their low price point and are entirely made of cheap plastic. The plastic also doesn’t flex much, and the headphones seem very easy to break by accident. It’s worth noting that the cups don’t extend much. If you’re one of those guys who like to leave their headphones dangling around their neck when not in use, you’ll find yourself unable to lower your head without your headphones biting into your jaw. Finally, the cups absorb a lot of sweat. You’ll find yourself wanting to wash the cups and frustrated that you can’t. It’s really gross.
- Mic – Absolutely trash tier. You won’t even be able to use the mic for how bad it is. I honestly forgot these headphones even had a mic because it’s so soft and picks up so much background noise. Callers will not be able to hear you clearly and will keep urging you to switch back to your phone, and you can forget about trying to use these with your PC for voice chat or conference calls. Don’t be fooled into thinking you’re getting a mic with this headset – the mic only exists on paper. It’s really not worth using.
- Final words – Just, don’t. Spend a bit more, get a decent pair of wireless headphones. The headset doesn’t even connect properly half the time, and when it does, you’ll wish it didn’t. Save up some money, work at Mcdonald’s, and treat yourself to some good headphones. Anything, but not these ones. The only good thing about these cans is the battery life, but what uses its battery life if you don’t want to use these headphones?

Decent headphones with some evident drawbacks
In 1999 they are decent.
Pros
- Lightweight because made of plastic
- Battery super cool @ 70 hrs
- I am happy at 40% volume, so they are super loud.
- They have a thumping bass
- Call quality is good for this price.
6 connect easily and the Bluetooth range is excellent. I have tried them keeping my iPhone in another room and roaming around the home. No distortion or disconnection.
- They fold so are easy to carry
Cons:
- Plasticky so can break any time
- Vocals are not clear and are dull. If they had crisp vocals, these would have been the best in the industry.
- They would need time to open up. My ears, feel stiff and tend to heat after 2-3 hrs of continuous usage. Ears pain after this much usage.
- No case or pouch but was not expecting either at this price.
Overall a decent product in the price range and can keep it as a spare headphone in my bag if I forget my primary headphones (Marshall Monitor BT) knowing they will always have some charge ( 70 hrs battery at 60% volume)

No noise cancellation, no fast Bluetooth pairing, no bass
I have purchased these headphones for my husband as a surprise. And it was so disheartening, that the product was such a failure. The headphones claimed to be noise isolation supportive, but everybody could listen to the song I am hearing. All I could feel was a thump, and the headphones were vibrating as I maxed the volume. I paired my phone with these headphones, but when I tried any other phone to be paired, it just gave me error messages “Pairing rejected by Boat Rockerz 450”.
