detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: I'll break down my review into 4 parts : Sound quality, noise cancellation and calls(mic), battery and ergonomics
Sound quality:
For the price range of 1.2k, ( I got it for 900 rupees during 2019 Dasara sale ) the quality of sound is pretty crisp. There is a slight overtone to Bass while the other elements are balanced. Personally, I think this balance is perfect. Given the pricing, I'd rate 5/5 for sound quality.
Noise cancellation:
For the pricing range, I'd say the noise cancellation is pretty decent. Somewhere close to half volume your noise cancellation works seamlessly while listening to music. On the other hand, when I'm on calls, the noise cancellation is pretty poor. People often tell me that they're clearly able to listen to all the talk and noise and honking etc, from the background but not my voice. So I have to pull the mic closer to my lips to be audible enough to eliminate background noise. So, I'd give 3/5 for noise cancellation.
Battery:
I play music at a pretty low volumes (some 3 button presses lower than half volume) So, the battery can easily last upto 6 hrs. If I'm watching a movie or TV series, it'll last for 7-8 hours. The charging time is pretty nominal. I charge it from 6:45 am to 8:15 am and it would have gone from 0 to full charge. You could charge it with a 2.1 A adapter for a much quicker charge but I don't know if the earphones can handle that current without getting damaged in the long run (read the institution manual). So, at this pricing, I'd give battery a 4/5
Ergonomics:
I must say, my favourite part is the magnetic lock. It's convenient and you can simply wear it around your neck like a necklace. It's easy to tuck it under your collar and keep it locked when not using. Looks sturdy though I don't wish to test it ! One disadvantage would be that that wire is a little too long and that wasn't necessary. It's bulky and unlike other BT earphones, you can't throw them in a bag, you'll need to be careful where you put it. If the ear hooks are positioned correctly, you should have no pain around the ear cartilage while wearing them for long durations. I wear it 2.5 hrs a day to work and I rarely feel irritated or pain around the ear. So, I'd give ergonomics and overall comfort a 3/5
Combining the ratings for all the above mentioned parameters, the overall eating turns out to be a 4/5 for this pricing which is pretty decent I'd say. Whenever it's on offer (under 1000 bucks) and you want a pair of BT earphones, simply go for it. I can absolutely vouch for it.

detailedReviews 2: content: This will give you worth of every rupee you spend.
Don't go for boat rockers 255 pro because its almost the same (except bluetooth 5.0)
PROS:
1. Sound- compared to the non-pro version, it seems to me that there's slight improvement in quality. Not that it is very noticeable, but a slight improvement.
Bass- has got good quality and quantity of bass compared to others in the same price range. The bass is clean, tight and is not muddy like realme bluetooth earphones.
Vocals- the vocals are clear and crisp.
Loudness- it is loud enough to be heard in a noisy environment.
2. Comfort- the earphones are comfortable to wear but without the ear guides. Maybe that's just me, but wearing along with the ear guides gave me pain in the ears which eased off once the ear guides were removed.
3. Design- it is of neckband design that is comfortable to wear. The buds have got magnets in it which helps it stick to one another when hanged down so that no tangling occurs.
4. Colour- comes in some trendy colours like yellow, teal green, blue and red. The youngsters would love this just for that.
5. Fast charging- gets completely charged in just an hour and has got high voltage protection too.
6. Sound isolation- nothing to brag about but comparable with others in the same price segment.
7.Mic- the calls were very clear. The person at the other end told me that the voice was audible without any disturbances and indeed very clear.
8. Connectivity- this has got the A2DP feature. So dual connectivity is present and I did not experience any connection drops of any kind.
9. No Lag- there was no lag experienced while playing PUBG.
CONS:
1. Battery- this is the biggest gripe anyone could have with this earphone. The battery gets emptied quickly compared with its peers. Though there's fast charging one would expect headphones in this price range to last at least 10 to 12 hours but not Rockers PRO lasts for almost 6 to 8 hours. That's what I got out of them and that was not enough.
2. Price- the asking price of 1599rs is high. You may get it for 1200rs during offers. Even then it is not value for money because of the poor battery backup.
3. No auto on-off with magnetic buds- the feature which is present in Realme bluetooth earphones. This feature could have improved the battery life of this pair very much but alas it doesn't have it.
Final words:
Boat Rockerz 255 Pro bluetooth earphones are good in terms of sound quality and trendiness but lack in terms of battery backup. Though there are several pros than cons it all comes down to the battery life and this one loses out on that badly.

detailedReviews 4: content: The product is excellent. I have been using it from the last 2 years, now it has become too dirty, but for me the sound matter not the looks. Remember the range of bluetooth is just 5 to 7 meters. Battery life is 7 days easily with daily use of 6+hrs in 80℅volume Call quality is not good as it too much captures background noise
