FAQs

1. How does ANC actually work in TWS earbuds?

ANC uses built-in microphones to listen to the background noise around you. The earbuds then generate a reverse sound wave that neutralises that ambient noise before it reaches your ear. 

2. Which are the best earbuds with noise cancellation for daily travel?

Airdopes Prime 701 ANC is easily one of the best earbuds for daily commutes and frequent travel, as its hybrid ANC neutralises all kinds of ambient noise, from train screeches to background chatter. 

3. Do noise cancelling earbuds drain the battery faster?

Yes, keeping ANC active requires extra processing power, which slightly reduces overall playtime. However, the best noise-cancelling earbuds still offer massive battery life even with ANC turned on. 

4. What are the best earbuds under ₹3000 for sound quality?

The Nirvana Ion ANC Pro is the absolute best pick in this category. It offers Hi-Res Audio with LDAC support alongside 32dB active noise cancellation for a truly premium listening experience.

Absolutely! All boAt earbuds are backed by a 1-year warranty, which you can claim after registering your earbuds on the official website.
