Boat RockerZ 550 Build Quality
Generally, the build-quality of boAt products is very good. We have seen many headphones under 2000 but the build quality of those headphones was not up to the mark. It also has a really good build quality with eye-catching looks and texture.
BoAt RockerZ 550 is made with a blend of plastic and aluminum material. The headband adjusters of the headphone are aluminum instead of plastic making them sturdy and durable. The headband is very flexible and it can fit any head size without any problem.
The earcups are tiltable with the help of hinges that are made of plastic material. You can tilt them effortlessly to adjust for the best comfort. A good headphone is comfortable, portable, and durable, that is something you get in boAt rockerZ 550.
The light weight of the product is an added advantage as it makes transportation easy and you can wear them for long hours. After using this product for more than 3 months rigorously, I can say that the boAt rockerZ 550 is durable.
Boat RockerZ 550 Design
The design of the headphone looks very premium in the segment. It is quite comfortable with cushions in the headrest and the earpieces. The ear cups are big enough to cover your ears. The ear cups are tiltable so you can rest them on your neck when you are not listening to music. However, the headphones are not tiltable. We have thoroughly tested the device so that you can have a genuine boat rockerZ 550 review.
BoAt rockerZ 550 is available in exclusive designs with a boat logo on both of the earpieces. The length of the headphone is adjustable and the volume buttons, power button, 3.5 mm jack, microphone and LED indicator have been given at the lower side of the right earpiece.
The headphone is available in 5 different colors i.e. red, black, marron, orange-red and dark green. It looks unique and stylish, especially the dark green one that I wanted but managed to get the black one as that dark green was out of stock. The boAt logo at the center of both of the earpieces enhances the look of the product.
Boat RockerZ 550 Audio Quality
The boAt rockerZ 550 has been designed especially for music lovers. The sound quality is exceptional with clear vocals along with decent noise cancellation features. The device is equipped with 50mm audio drivers that can pump out immersive sound for a greater musical experience for the users.
You can listen low end quite well at approx 60 to 70% volume. The bass of the headphone is not so great but it’s good enough to make your ears thump. The clamping force or you can say, pressure of the earcups is not too much, so you can wear them for long hours very easily.
You can experience crystal clear lows, mid, and highs. With increasing volume, treble picks up the pace along with the clear vocal and instruments. The loudness of the headphones doesn’t make you uncomfortable and it is the perfect piece for people who love to listen to songs at full volume.
Boat RockerZ 550 Battery
The company claims 20 hours of battery backup with the help of a 500 mAh big battery. The battery is durable as many users have great experiences with the battery even after 6 months of proper usage. The playback time of the headphone is 20 hours and it takes only 2.5 hours to charge them fully. The standby time of the device is 180 hours.
With that much of a backup, you can enjoy non-stop music for a week without the need of charging, if you use it for 3 hours a day. While we have found in our boat rockerZ 550 review that listening to around 50 to 60 percent volume could give you more than claimed playback time.
The boat RockerZ 550 headphone comes with a micro USB and it doesn’t support fast charging. It supports dual mode which means if you are running out of battery, you can connect the headphones through an AUX cable.
Boat RockerZ 550 Connectivity & Controls
The boAt rockerZ 550 comes with advanced Bluetooth version V5.0 and it is compatible with all Bluetooth devices like mobile phones, laptops, tablets, etc. It covers a wide range of area about 10m.
Pairing with devices is very easy with boAt rockerZ 550 headphones. Once paired, it automatically gets connected to the devices. We tried to connect by putting the phone about 10m away to check the connectivity, the headphone works excellent even from that distance.
The controls of the headphone are provided in the right earpiece of the headphone. There is a volume rocker to control the sound when it is paired with a Bluetooth device. The power button allows you to turn on or turn off your device and it can also be used to receive or deny phone calls. By pressing the power button for a few seconds, it turns on voice assistants.
