Audio Quality and Microphone of Boat Rockerz 295v2

The boAt Rockerz 295 V2 is packed with 10 mm dynamic drivers. Boat 295 comes with special features EQ modes.

These are balanced mode and bass mode. In normal mode, the audio output isn’t as excellent as the other mode.

The volume is also low. In bass boosted mode, the bass is punchy and deep as and when required.

It isn’t overpowering but sufficient for most users.

The vocals and trebles are well separated, but at higher volumes, the high-frequency notes are distorted to some extent. 

The microphone is present beside the control panel and is said to be based on Qualcomm technology.

The call quality is average. You can hear the person on the other end and vice versa, but there is a substantial background noise even indoors.

Boat 295v2 Latency Performance

The synchronization between audio and video is remarkable, with a delay of as low as 100 milliseconds.

This much delay is expected in wireless Bluetooth earbuds, and even dedicated gamers can manage with this much latency.
