Neckbands, also known as collar earphones have been popular over the recent years. They are portable, convenient and offer comfort while listening to music and taking calls. They are more stable to wear than the TWS ones, so you needn’t worry while listening to music while working out. However, for a long time, their features and designs haven’t changed much. boAt wants to change this with the all-new Nirvana 525 earphones. The brand claims that these are some of the first neckband earphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) which can improve the music experience significantly.
The boAt Nirvana 525 ANC has a very comfortable and lightweight design. It has a flexible body, so you can bend the neckband to fit the shape of your neck and provide a personalized snug fit. The design not only enhances comfort levels but also minimizes the chances of the earphones slipping or becoming uncomfortable over time. Since they have a polycarbonate body, the earphones feel sturdy too. The earbuds have a matte finish so they keep away fingerprints. The boAt Nirvana 525 are available in three colours. The Space Black model has a metal grey neckband while the Celestial Blue variant comes with a glossy blue one. If you like subtle and bright shades, the Cosmic Grey model should suit you.
While stylish, the earphones are durable too. They come with IPX5 water-resistant rating, which means you can wear them while running, cycling in the rain or even through a sweaty workout. The device comes with onboard buttons for controlling the music, volume and answering/rejecting voice calls. There is also a dedicated button for noise cancellation so you can switch between the ANC modes. There is also an option to summon a voice assistant from your device.
The boAt Nirvana 525 ANC claims to be the first neckband form factor headphones to have Dolby Audio. It gives you the option to toggle between Dolby Movie and Dolby Natural models using the boAt Hearables app. There is also an Adaptive EQ feature which helps create sound output based on your hearing. The device comes with 11mm drivers for a crisp and clear sound. They promise solid music as well as a gaming experience with their low input lag.
One of the breakthrough features of the Neckband earphones is its noise cancellation feature. boAt says the earphones come with industry-leading Hybrid ANC of 42dB, cancelling out most unwanted noise. This lets you have a crisp music experience without background noise. Even when are not wearing music, you can simply plug the earphones and turn on the ANC mode to experience absolute silence and peace.
The Nirvana 525 ANC earphones come with Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless wireless connectivity. boAt says the earphones support most audio codecs and provides up to 10 meters of range, so you can listen to music without having your phone nearby. The earphones also support boAt’s AiEX feature which claims to use AI for removing background noise during phone calls. So, no matter where you are, be it traffic, railway station, airports or workspaces, you can have a clear calling experience. This also works during video conferencing and even while gaming.
The boAt Nirvana 525 ANC also promises a good battery life. They come with a 180 mAh battery, claiming up to 30 hours of music playback. This can be handy, especially during long trips when you don’t have access to a charging source. boAt says you can get a full charge in 40 minutes. The device comes with a Type-C charging port, which means you can even use your smartphone charger to charge the earphones. It also ships with a small Type-C cable, so you can easily charge the earphones using a power bank.
