Technology & Features
AI-ENx™ Technology
Four AI-ENx™ equipped mics (dual mic per earbud) work together to deliver crystal-clear calls by intelligently reducing background noise.
IWP™ (Insta Wake N’ Pair) Technology
Once paired, IWP™ lets the earbuds reconnect instantly to your phone the moment you open the case – no need to take them out first. Just ensure Bluetooth is on for your media device.
In-Ear Detection
Music automatically pauses when you remove an earbud and resumes when you put it back in. This is enabled by default and can be toggled off in the boAt Hearables app’s System tab.
BEAST™ Mode (Low Latency)
65ms low latency mode suitable for entertainment and casual gaming, activated via the boAt Hearables app’s customizable touch controls (not designed for professional gaming equipment needs).
Spatial Audio (via App)
Toggle Spatial Audio ON/OFF in the Sound tab of the Hearables app. If the boAt Equalizer doesn’t seem to work, check that Spatial Audio is switched off.
