boAt Airdopes 313 TWS Earbuds deliver 75 hours playback for budget listeners

The sound is lively, with punchy bass and clear highs. Vocals are easy enough to follow, but the tuning is not very balanced. It works well for Bollywood, pop and regular YouTube listening.

The bass has good weight and gives songs some punch. Vocals stay clear at normal volume, although the sound can feel a little less full on some tracks. Bass-heavy music suits them more than acoustic songs.

ANC helps with steady sounds like metro noise, bus noise and office fans. It won't remove everything around you, though. Nearby voices can still be heard.

The buds and case are rated for up to 75 hours. For normal use, that is enough to go several days without charging. ANC and high volume will bring that number down.

A 10-minute charge gives around 210 minutes of playback. That's enough for a long commute or a couple of work sessions. The USB-C port also makes charging simple.

The in-ear fit is comfortable for regular listening. The Glide Shell design keeps the buds sitting neatly in the ear. Long sessions are generally fine as long as the fit suits your ears.

The case feels solid enough for normal carrying and has a clean finish. It is small enough for a pocket, although you can still feel it there.

Airdopes 313 has up to 75 hours of battery along with ANC and a low-latency mode. OnePlus Nord Buds may suit you more if you prefer their sound or already use other OnePlus devices.

The 313 has the bigger battery figure, with up to 75 hours including the case. BEAST Mode brings latency down to around 45 ms. Buds T300 may be preferable if you like its sound or app more.

The quad microphones with ENx help during calls, but calls are not the strongest part of these earbuds. They work better indoors than around traffic. Noise Buds X is worth looking at if calls are your main concern.

BEAST Mode brings latency down to around 45 ms. Game sounds and video dialogue stay closer to what is happening on screen. For normal mobile gaming, the difference is noticeable.

The quad mics help keep your voice audible, but they don't remove all the noise around you. Traffic and crowded areas can still affect the call. Indoor calls are more reliable.

There can be a pairing issue where the earbuds stay connected after being placed in the case. Your phone may continue sending audio to them even though they are inside. Turning Bluetooth off and on or reconnecting usually fixes it.

The app gives you extra controls and basic earbud settings. You can do more from the app than with the touch controls alone.

IPX4 protects against sweat and light splashes. They are fine for walks and workouts, and a little drizzle should not be a problem. Heavy rain or direct water is different.

Bluetooth 5.4 handles the connection with phones, tablets and PCs, with a listed range of up to 10 metres in open space. Pairing is quick after the first setup, and the earbuds reconnect automatically.
