The boAt Rockerz 480 uses an over-ear fit and weighs 230 g, making it a reasonably compact option that supports folding for easier storage and transport. It features a closed-back design with stereo speakers, and the headphone is not intended for children. The cable is neither detachable nor tangle-free, and no travel bag is included in the package.
The Rockerz 480 uses 40 mm driver units and covers a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. It provides passive noise reduction to help limit ambient sound, though active noise cancellation and spatial audio are not supported. The drivers do not use a neodymium magnet.
The Rockerz 480 is equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery rated for 60 hours of playback, and it charges fully in approximately 1.5 hours via USB Type-C. A battery level indicator is included so users can monitor remaining charge at a glance. The battery is not removable, and neither wireless charging nor solar charging is supported.
The Rockerz 480 supports both wireless and wired connection, with the wireless side running on Bluetooth 5.3 and offering a maximum range of 10 m. Audio latency is rated at 40 ms, and the headphone does not include fast pairing or NFC-based pairing. On the codec side, none of the advanced options — including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Low Latency, aptX Lossless, AAC, LDAC, LDHC, Bluetooth LE Audio, or Auracast — are supported.
The Rockerz 480 can be used as a headset and supports multipoint connectivity for up to two devices simultaneously. Controls are handled through an on-device panel rather than an in-line cable remote. The headphone does not include a noise-canceling microphone, ambient sound mode, in/on-ear detection, or a mute function. It comes with a one-year warranty.
