Boat Rockerz 550 Review of Audio Quality

The treble of this headphone is quite decent. The highs and lows are clear. The bass isn’t as punchy as I would have liked.

Bass quality is manageable for normal users, but for people who are very particular about the bass, this headphone might not be the ideal choice.

Boat rockerz 510 headphones are armed with 50mm dynamic audio drivers guaranteeing an immersive sound experience for every listener.

Boat rockerz 550 headphones also provide physical noise isolation.

This means that there is no extra software installed, which reduces the noise, but the design is built in such a way that it comes over the ears and ensures a tight fit and minimum gap between the ears and the headphone.

This type of over the ear design reduces noise by up to 40%.

The headphone sound very good at 70 to 80% volume range.

However, if you go towards high volume, the sound quality is not distorted, but it gets way too loud and is not very pleasant to hear. You can easily get ear damage.

Microphone(Mic) Quality

The inbuilt microphone in the boat rockerz 550 headphone works pretty well. The voice sounds quite clear;

however, there is a little echo that comes alongside your voice. There is also significant background noise. 

However, if you are looking for a mic to communicate with other players during a PUBG match, then this headphone isn’t for you. 

Audio Latency(Delay)

The synchronization between audio and video voice perfect during streaming videos, but the delay was slightly more noticeable during gaming.

The stereo effect was there where you could realize from which angle the sound is coming, but the boat rockerz 550 isn’t ideal for gamers.

Design, Build Quality, Fit, and Comfort 

Boat 550 build and design

The build quality of these headphones is a pretty great price and taking into account, the price of boat rockerz 550 headphones.

The boat logo is inscribed on the top of the head and also on the two ear cups.

The ear cups of these headphones are heavily cushioned so as to remove any uncomfortable feeling after wearing these headphones for longer durations.

There is also one adjustable headband that can adjust its shape and size according to one’s head.

On the headband, there are two buttons to control the device. One button is for controlling the volume another button is for turning off and on.

There is also a LED indicator that indicates the charging status.

There are two ports: one is for the AUX cable and the other is for charging the boat 550 headphones.

An in-built microphone is provided for taking calls.

There are left and right markings on each ear cup of rockerz 550 headphones.

This is pretty convenient because it is often confusing, and people end up wearing the wrong side, thereby resulting in an inconsistent stereo effect.

However, the left and right markings on the ear cups are quite small and not easily visible.

The headphone is also a little bulkier than other headphones, and you will often feel that a huge weight is placed on your head if you wear the headphone for long hours

Overall the design is quite good, the plastic used is quite nice, and the texture design on the ear cups look pretty premium.
