Verdict

The boAt Rockerz 512 ANC is a wireless over-ear headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers and Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation that reduces ambient noise by up to 40dB. It offers a massive battery life of up to 80 hours (non-ANC) or 57 hours (ANC mode) on a single charge via USB Type-C, alongside Bluetooth v5.4 for dual-device pairing and a 40ms low-latency BEAST Mode for gaming. Key pros include its IPX4 splash resistance, 800mAh high-capacity battery, and ENx technology for clearer calls; however, it lacks wear detection, takes approximately 2.5 hours for a full charge, and some users note a subtle hiss in Bluetooth mode or audio compression when ANC is active.
