Disabling Beast Mode: A Device-Specific Guide
The method for disabling Beast Mode varies depending on the specific model of your boAt headphones or earbuds. Here’s a breakdown of how to turn it off for different types of boAt devices:

- Long Touch Method: Often, a long touch (approximately 3 seconds) on the right CTC (Capacitive Touch Control) is used to toggle Beast Mode. If you activated it this way, repeating the long touch will typically turn it off. You’ll usually receive an audio prompt to confirm the mode change.

The Rockerz series often uses a physical button, typically the Multi-Function Button (MFB):
- Triple Press Method: On some Rockerz models such as the Rockerz 260, a triple press on the MFB is often used to toggle Beast Mode on and off.
boAt Rockerz 255 Neo

Why Turn Off Beast Mode?
While Beast Mode is excellent for gaming due to its low latency, it may not always be necessary or desirable. In some cases, it could have an impact on battery life. You might also find that the audio processing optimized for low latency is not the preferred audio output you want for music or other applications. Therefore, toggling back to Music Mode can optimize the experience based on your use case.
