BoAt Rockerz 255 Long Term Review | 2 Years And Counting!

Are you planning to buy boAt Rockerz 255? You are at the right spot! I’ve been using it for over 2 years and in this BoAt Rockerz 255 Long Term Review, you will learn about the Pros and Cons, Built Quality, Looks, Comfort, Audio Quality, Call Quality, Battery Backup, and our verdict.

Note: After 2 years and 6 months, boAt Rockerz 255 has finally taken a farewell and lost voice from the right earbud. So you can understand how long it will work under harsh usage. Let’s begin the review with the pros and cons.

BoAt Rockerz 255 Pros & Cons

BoAt Rockerz 255 In-Box Contents

The first thing in the box is a USB to Micro USB charging cable. Then comes the 2 pairs of extra ear tips (for small and large ears. Medium ones are already applied out of the box.

You also get safety information with do’s and don’ts while operating the headset. Also, information about pairing and playback controls guide.

And trust me Jacqueline Fernandez is not the reason I bought the earphones!! Jokes apart, a warranty card with the boAt customer care number.

There is a docket for other boAt products that will be handy when buying a new boAt product. That’s pretty much everything from the box, Let’s connect it to a phone and check out the music playback controls.

Media Controls On BoAt Rockerz 255

On the right side of the neckband, you will find controls to increase volume, play or pause media, and reduce the volume. Pressing and holding the center button will be used to turn the on and off the headset.

To play or pause the media press the circle button which is the center button. Pressing and holding the plus button will play the next song. if you need to replay the already-playing song, holding the minus button for 3 seconds will do the trick. To play the previous song press the hold the minus button for 3 seconds. You can increase or decrease the volume by pressing the + and – button.

Apart from the music control, you can crank up Siri or Google Assistant by saying Hey Siri! or Okay Google! and take care of your desired task without even using your phone!

BoAt Rockerz 255 Built Quality

Be it budget or even top-of-the-line earphones, built quality matters. Since I am not a soft user let’s have a look at how Boat Rockerz 255 has survived my rough handling after 2 years of usage!

The neckband is as good as it was the day I got it. There’s not a single cut on the wires which is common among rubber neckbands after 2 years of usage. Magnetic connectors on both earbuds work like a charm; there’s still a “click” noise when they bond together!

The cable connecting both earbuds has also survived quite well. These are tangle-free cables so if you keep them in a bag they will not tangle which is a good thing. BoAt branding on the earphones has faded. Since the left and right signs are engraved on the neckband they don’t show any effects.

The Earbuds also reflect the faded boAt logo. The best part is the ear hooks are still intact and do a great job of keeping them in the ears even when you are running. Volume rockers and play/pause buttons work just as well as they were from the beginning.

BoAt Rockerz 255 Audio Quality

BoAt knows what Indian customers want on a budget. Any audio gear should have good bass, loudness, decent vocals, and a little treble. BoAt nailed it with Rockerz 255.

If the bass is the top priority, this one is for you. Also, you will not be disappointed with the rest like treble, loudness, and vocals. Usually, budget neckbands start audio distortion at max volume, but not with Rockerz 255. In fact, at max volume it it’s strong and in the zone.

This means BoAt has used good quality audio drivers and for a price of 1200 to 1500 Rs it’s good. Because of that, boAt Rockerz 255 gets 8.5 out of 10.

BoAt Rockerz 255 Mic Test

Moreover taking calls using boAt Rockerz is also possible. You can receive and end the call by pressing the center circle button. That’s pretty much it. While we are on the subject of calling, the mic quality is great in a silent environment.

However, in the metro or busy streets, the mic captures more of the nuisance around you than your voice. So the other caller might not hear you. That’s the only issue I had with this Bluetooth headset.

So for call quality, you can check out Infinity Glide 120 (Review) it offers amazing call quality.

How’s The boAt Rockerz 255 Battery Backup?

They have been great so far. I own 2 of the same models one in black color & the other one in Neon. The Neon was 11 months old when I realized it was not giving more than 3 hours of battery backup. However, the other one was going around 6 hours tops.

So I had an experience with boAt service as well! Long story short in the end I got a replacement! If you want you can check it out.

Initially, I got around 5-6 hours of battery backup on boAt Rockerz 255 which is good. After 2 years of use, the backup is between 3-5 hours. So, BoAt has a great-quality battery and you will be fine for about 3 years.

BoAt Rockerz 255 Any Good?

So all in all, the BoAt Rockerz 255 is a good neckband you can buy or gift someone. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

  Hammer Bash Max Review | The Best headphone Under 2500 Rs?
  If you are looking for comfortable over-ear headphones that you can wear for long hours, this is the one to buy! Other than comfort, the looks are quite spectacular too! What about other things? Well, here’s the Hammer Bash Max Review after 7 months of use! It packs everything a headphone around 2.5k should have like; USB-C Charging, Mostly fabric body, premium looks, Dual Bluetooth connection, etc. But still, there are many things that we experienced in the past 4 months. So let’s talk about that. If you are new to PadhkeDekho, we use a product for a month before publishing our statistics. All the testing was done indoors, outdoors, during transit, and in all the other places where users use headphones so that our readers get the best information. In this Hammer Bash Max review, you will learn about the Pros and cons, Specs, Unboxing experience, Built Quality, Looks, Comfort, Features, Audio Quality, Mic Quality, Battery Backup, and finally, our verdict on whether you should buy it or not. With that said, let’s begin the Hammer headphone review with pros and cons. Hammer Bash Max Specifications FeatureValueBluetooth Version5.3Dual Bluetooth ConnecitonYesTiltable/FoldableYes/NoAudio Drivers (MM)40Frequency Range2.402 GHz – 2.480 GHzBattery mAh3.7v, 500Charging Voltage5V/1AMedia ControlsTouch Panel on Right Earcup Color Options3Check More Specs onAmazon Built Quality (10/10) The moment you hold the headphones, it’s all cloth & soft fabric on your fingertips. Be it the headband or earcups you will feel like it’s a premium product. Other than fabric, you will feel some plastic for headband adjusters & tilt mechanism. The adjusters have a common slid-in and-out design with 8 levels of adjustments. So far the headband adjusters work fine and there’s no squeaking or panel plastic noise. Just below the headband, you will see the tiltable earcups. Thanks to the design, you can flat out the earcups and rest them on the neck or in the backpack when traveling. On the right ear cup, you will see the touch controls & single button to control media or accept or end the call. It’s quite a neat headphone. What about durability? This headphone has visited the gym a few times, jogging sessions, late-night movie marathons, ruff handling, etc. and it’s in implacable condition. Sure, we will test it more and keep updating the article as time passes. So at the moment, the built quality is quite good and Hammer Bash Max gets a 9/10 in this department. Looks (10/10) Hands down, Hammer Bash Max is the best-looking headphone under 3000 Rs. Starting from the ear cups the headband design is very futuristic. The fabric on the headband (the top and bottom offer different designs) makes it look very premium. It shows attention to detail. The ear cup fabric speaks of quality. It is a soft and breathable material that snugs so well that you will not wish to remove it even after long sessions. We’ve talked more about it in the Comfort section. We bought Cool Grey color and the overall color scheme feels like a 5000 Rs headphones. It also comes in Apricot and Black color as well. Hammer has not offered any color combination, it’s pure single color but the plastic and fabric combination gives it a remarkable presence. I liked the “fake leather” treatment on the earcups fabric Hammer Bash Max looks great so here’s 5/5 for that! Comfort & Grip (9/10) When it comes to comfort nothing beats Over-Ear headphones. This statement is true for Hammer Bash Max as well. The ear cup padding is very soft, the fabric on the headband generates a firm grip and the best part is the clamping force, It is so firm that the headphones rest around the ears with utmost comfort. Since the earcups have tiltablity, you will find your sweet spot the moment you wear these. Hammer Bash Max is a very comfortable headphone that you can easily wear for 4+ hours. So if you are looking for an over-ear headphone that you can wear for long hours without a single minute of discomfort, this is the one to get. What about workouts or gym use? You can wear it to the gym. The clamping force is high and the headphones stay on even during high-intensity movements. I do a lot of cardio activities and it did not fall even once. It’s a different breed of over-ear headphones that check marks for comfort & grip during workouts. So, Hammer Bash Max gets a solid 9/10 for comfort & workout-centric nature. Features (9/10) #1 Dual Bluetooth Connection: Hammer Bash Max can be paired to two devices simultaneously. This is a great feature if you switch between two devices quite often. So, you are watching a movie on your laptop and get a call on your phone. You can accept it and take the call via the headphones. #2 Touch Controls: Usually headphones have physical buttons to increase/decrease the volume, move to the next track, or repeat. But Hammer added touch controls to this headphone and things are working quite well. You will need to spend some time before getting used to it. But before that please remove the sticker for an even better response. #3 Full-Tiltable Headphone: The headband allows 90-degree revolvable ear cups. As a result, you can tilt the earcups completely 90 degrees and lay the headphones straight in your bag pack. This helps in better space management during travel. Also, it will enhance comfort if you keep the headphones on your neck during travels. #4 Bluetooth 5.3: Under 3000 Rs many headphones offer Bluetooth 5.0. But the latest version is 5.3 and that’s what Hammer offered. We are not saying 5.0 is bad, but we have experienced better reception with a higher Bluetooth version of audio gear. As a result, we did not face audio breaking or disturbance even when the paired device was about 5 to 6 meters away in the bag while I was working out. #5 IPX3 Water Resistance: When a headphone can be used in a gym or for jogging some amount of water resistance is a must. Because water can cause damage in the long run with the Hammer Bash Max, you get IPX3 water resistance that will allow you to focus more on the workout than the water damage! Audio Quality (8/10) This is the first time we’ve tried Hammer headphones and it is good. Hammer Bash Max comes with a 40mm audio driver. As you know, we never boast an audio gear with the driver size as it is just marketing. What matters is how good the quality of the driver is. Let’s talk about that. The very first thing you will notice is the distortion-free sound signature. Yes, we’ve tested a variety of songs, podcasts, media content, etc, and nothing baffled the audio drivers. Kudos to Hammer for that. The overall audio quality is crisp and full of detail. The vocals, instruments, and trebles are the strong suit. The bass is decent, certainly not a bass-heavy headphone. You will enjoy media consumption or listening to music. Though the sound signature is good we felt the loudness could’ve been better. if you are coming from Infinity or BoAt headphones you will feel the volume is around 80%. This is not bad! Because it makes Hammer Bash Max a headphone with no audio leak you can wear it anywhere without worrying what people will “think” about what you are listing. We had never been so confident about headphones in the outdoors. So to sum up, the overall audio quality is quite good with plenty of details in vocals, instruments, and even trebles but the bass is decent not the best. Score Card ValueVocals9.5/10Treble9/10Bass7.5/10Overall Loudness8/10Overall Clarity9/10Best Buy LinkAmazon Therefore, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. Call/Mic Quality (8.5/10) Most headphones offer a microphone but only a few are good for taking calls and Hammer Bash Max is on it! Though there’s only a single microphone on the right earcup it picks up voice quite clearly. There will be no complaints of static disturbance or low volume from the other person on the call. Moreover, the mic is so responsive it picks up your voice even if you whisper. Since there’s no ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) mic picks ambient noise. Hence, if you have a lot of disturbance or people talking loudly in your proximity it will be transferred as is. During our testing of the mic indoors as well as outdoors, we found it quite good and did not have a single network disturbance or interference. So for calling, Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10. Battery Backup & Charging (8/10) Over-ear headphones are known for their battery backup and Hammer Bash Max is no expectation either! It packs in a 500 mAh battery and can provide juice for about 18 hours. So, what are the real-world figures? You can expect anywhere between 12 to 15 hours even with Dual Bluetooth Connected Devices and max volume. If you use headphones for 2 hours a day, expect a little over 1 week. Everyone has a different listing pattern so can’t predict an “exact” number, however, if you prefer to listen to music at around 60 to 80% volume, then you will move closer to the claimed figures. In terms of battery backup, you will not be disappointed. However, you should also know that there’s no provision for aux-in. This means you will not be able to use this headphone as a wired headphone. This can be a deal breaker for many, so choose accordingly. So with lightweight, we have no issues with the battery backup. Thus, Hammer Bash Max gets 8/10. What About Charging? Hammer Bash Max comes with a USB-C cable and supports fast charging too. Though, that’s not mentioned anywhere on the website. On the user manual, it says to use 5V/1A voltage. I guess using a higher-powered charge can damage the battery. However, for the past 4 months we have been using a 20-watt charger, it reached from 10 to 100% in 2 hours and 10 mins. You can get even better results with 40 or 60-watt chargers. Do not worry it will not damage the headphones. New chargers are smart they “only” send “current” the headphone or audio gear can handle. if you are a casual user who uses headphones for 2 to 3 hours a day, you will be fine for a week. So we do not mind the battery backup. There could have been an aux-in mode. Should You Buy Hammer Bash Max? Yes, if you are looking for a comfortable headphone. Other reasons to buy it are the premium built quality, best in-hand feel, workout friendly, good mic for calling, overall good audio quality, dual Bluetooth connection, and more than a week’s battery backup! Why you should not buy Hammer Bash Max? There’s some latency during gaming and the lack of “aux-in” does pinch being a gamer. Another reason is bass. It’s decent but certainly not a bass-heavy headphone as the brand claims. As far as warranty goes, Hammer gives only 6 months of warranty which you should also know. With all the pros and cons, we think Hammer Bash Max is a good headphone for the price especially since the build/feel are the biggest highlight. This is the most premium headphone you can get under 3000 Rs. Is it the best for audio quality? Well, yes, if bass is not your only parameter. Out of 10, the Hammer Bash Max gets an 8.5/10 from us.
