"i absolutely love these airpods my only gripe is with the large size ear tips i have much better noise cancelling but my perfect fit is the mediums they stay in the best"

"i’m just scared of losing them"

"it has connection issues with ipad and windows music control issue like play and pause"

"i was not planning to buy these earphones maybe the normal airpods"

"i don't usually take the time writing reviews but i was compelled to let people know how good these actually are from some who wouldn't usually look twice at expensive earphones like this"

"they have been a huge disappointment and i am returning them"

"really disappointed !"

"read lots of reviews and bought pros with caution"

"shocked and disappointed in amazon"

"the other big issue is the pressure change this was hugely uncomfortable especially when on a flight"

"after initial disappointment with uncomfortable fitting an d resultant bluetooth breakup i spent some time ensuring the silicone tips were of the correct size after which they worked perfectly andmy confidence in the product was completely restored"

"airpod pro is the worst product apple ever made in my opinion"

"too complicated battery?"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"so they don’t fit so the noise cancelling does not work well and the bass is not thya good"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"they have been a huge disappointment and i am returning them"

"this constant creeping is distracting sound nothing special very neutral and if you use the equaliser on the iphone it introduces excessive changes for example bass boost just sounds muffled noise cancelling some sounds aren’t covered i noticed high pitched sounds like a gate squeaking"

"they block out ongoing dull sounds like the sound of being on the tube the bus crowded places traffic etc work particularly well when actually playing music and pretty well when just in your ears "

"however the biggest issue is the quality of the microphone when using to make receive calls the other user cannot make or anything said unless in a completely silent environment"

"i am not a great fan of the noise cancellation feature but that is a personal preference"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"i was very sceptical having been a bose man for many years although sound quality is amazing!"

"can't really comment on battery life connection stability or noise cancellation ability because i haven't used them outdoors but they did a pretty good job at drowning out most indoors noise so while i expect these will not beat the noise cancellation prowess of established full size cans like bose or sony they are certainly a massive improvement over the previous generation that everybody and their dog wears on a tube bus etc despite the fact that they blocked nothing at all"

"you can move your head about as much as you like and they won't come out but the repetitive actions of running skipping and walking cause them to move about"

"sound closely resembles the standard airpods with slightly better bass not overly impressed"

"it is much worse than for example the equivalently priced shure in ear phones"

"noise cancellation isn’t as good as my sony 1000xm2 but they are completely different products so for such small earphones they are superb"

"i hear a buzz when the feature is on and it feels uncomfortable"

"pro: noise cancellation is great comfortable in ear easy pairing with iphone do need to manually switch if you have them paired to more than one phone for example work phone and personal phone cons: make a annoying noise if youre wearing a hat hood and they rub against the hood not great for the gym as they still fall out whenever you're jogging engaging in exercises such as crunches rotational cable row sounds quality is nowhere as good as the wf 1000xm3 which are cheaper doesn't seem to connect to my mac or ipad"

"i initially bought with some reluctance"

"had some problems with these air pods mainly bluetooth connectivity got replacements for them still facing the same problem when listening to music the song sometimes suddenly starts breaking up usually happens when i open apps on the phone and the song keeps breaking up until i either turn off the app or turn the bluetooth off and back on again"

"it tones down things like ac units and constant drones but you can clearly hear people chatting and keyboards typing away if using it in an office environment"

"returned this"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"the double clicks and triple clicks used to control the playback i find very fiddly and although there is a feedback click heard through the headphones if you are listening to music you sometimes cannot hear it so the whole process is a bit hit or miss"

"this seems to be a design flaw as a number of other customers have reported the same problem"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"massively overpriced paying £250 i’d expect something of the same quality as the nuraphones or just below it considering the brand behind the airpods are apple"

"can't really comment on battery life connection stability or noise cancellation ability because i haven't used them outdoors but they did a pretty good job at drowning out most indoors noise so while i expect these will not beat the noise cancellation prowess of established full size cans like bose or sony they are certainly a massive improvement over the previous generation that everybody and their dog wears on a tube bus etc despite the fact that they blocked nothing at all"

"as a regular consumer i am not an audiophile but for £250 i expected more"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"absolutely disgusted to find that i received some £40 pound cheap earbuds from a completely unknown brand "

"but i don't regret buying them"

"the damage after drying them out for a day or so the battery pack and left earbud are fine but the right earbud has constant static noise with or without music"

"don't waste your money better take ur love one dinner and enjoy your time"

"i bought them because of the noise cancellation feature as the music at the gym is too loud and it worked great however for such a pricey pair of earbuds the fit needs to be dramatically improved"

"and they say maybe a by doing a return to factory settings which of course i would loose all my info it might help or wait for another software update"

"however in the gym or when i'm running they are rubbish"

"i bought the original apple airpods but really didn't use them much as they were uncomfortable and didn't stay in"

"have been to an apple subie and they say nothing wrong with the airpods airpod pro and nothing wrong with my iphone!"

"chief negative were useless in a noisy environment"

"the ease of using them especially with apple products like my ipad pro iphone and macbook air just ridiculous!"

"waste of money"

"the noise cancelling is good very good even but it's not up to the same standards set by the larger bose and sony over ear headphones but it still does what it advertises it'll eliminate background tv or radio noise for instance and ambient noise from a noisy environment people talking etc"

"the fit no matter what i do or what size of silicon piece i use the left one keeps falling out"

"you can use siri but the adjustment is very coarse"

"they are smaller they fit better in my ears they sound better and they cancel out some noise"

"didn’t dislike anything"

"i can't recommend these enough and even with the premium price tag you won't regret getting them "

"i found the noise cancelling feature on these strikes a good balance between you being completely unaware of your surroundings and letting in too much noise"

"5h battery life average sound quality very slippery case needs a silicone rubber protection case you can get from aliexpress for £2 slightly overpriced lots of features missing on android such as accurate battery level gets a little bit uncomfortable after 2h+ because the white blob is too big relatively slippery case and earphones makes it easy to drop and scatch: a silicone case is mandatory the charging case could be 0"

"i'm going to return to my idea of buying some bose sport earphones for the gym these are useless for that"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"after 10 minutes of use these airpods began to really hurt my ears especially at the cartilage area the rubber buds fitted the ear canal fine but the outer main plastic part of the airpod constantly rubbed and i found them too sore to wear a real shame so they’ve gone back and i’m still on the pain free generation 2"

"5hrs before needing to recharge even when noise cancelling turned off"

"have been to an apple subie and they say nothing wrong with the airpods airpod pro and nothing wrong with my iphone!"

"amazon sort out these issues is not the first time something of value has been left like this"

"i usually do a lot of running weight lifting and crossfit training and i have tried changing the bud size and even wearing them upside down and nothing works"

"i’m really pleased with the airpods the fit is perfect no chance of them falling out but this may not be the same for all"

"noise cancellation isn’t as good as my sony 1000xm2 but they are completely different products so for such small earphones they are superb"

"beats are overpriced junk"

"although i find these excellent working with ipads and sometimes with ipods but never with iphones!"

"the other big issue is the pressure change this was hugely uncomfortable especially when on a flight"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"well you can’t control volumn from airpods so have to ask siri or control via iphone or apple watch"

"downside the price"

"hiss in left ear radio wave and dull flat sound"

"with even mild motion the earpieces fall out either one at different times "

"if you are in apple ecosystem this is great as some apple features like audio sharing only share to apple h1 chip headphones airpods 2+ powerbeats pro+ airpods pro if you want to use it in android be try sony wf 1000xm3 or wh 1000xm3 finally everyone have different ears there are lots of people in the earth different people different ears no company can made in ear headphones fit everyone’s ear no matter sony like the wf 1000xm3 always drop out of my ears with one touch or bose"

"where these really fall down however is in the idea that they are suitable for exercise"

"the speaker grill itself is double or more the size of normal airpods as well!"

"or did i miss something?"

"i bought the original apple airpods but really didn't use them much as they were uncomfortable and didn't stay in"

"for listening in your own space when you just want to go loud and not disturb those asleep upstairs"

"hoping the airpods pro ii don’t hurt my ears!"

"let’s get it straight noise cancelling is not for getting rid of the sound of people talking right next to you its for fairly constant static noises like that of cars going bu public transport or aeroplanes"

"bought these for active noise cancelling and it was underwhelming"

"very very overrated"

"there is no volume control so if like me you wanted to use them whilst running and streaming music from your apple watch the only choice is using the digital crown and this is only usable from the music app on the watch"

"i'm going to return to my idea of buying some bose sport earphones for the gym these are useless for that"

"for short runs or sub 1 hr aerobic sessions i didn't have an issue"

"one thing i don’t like is the ease with which the case opens and the buds can fall out!"

"let’s get it straight noise cancelling is not for getting rid of the sound of people talking right next to you its for fairly constant static noises like that of cars going bu public transport or aeroplanes"

"i think if the current fit can’t fit your ears you should wait someone made the different ear tips to fit it"

"i’ve owned numerous high end earphones from shure 846 & 500 sennheiser ie800 b&o e8 and klipsh x10i"

"but on long runs they would work loose"

"the noise cancelling is good very good even but it's not up to the same standards set by the larger bose and sony over ear headphones but it still does what it advertises it'll eliminate background tv or radio noise for instance and ambient noise from a noisy environment people talking etc"

"it isn't that they fall out it's that they break the noise cancelling seal quite easily"

"under no circumstances but this product i did and they are 100% fake"

"any movement like running or even walking over time causes them to work loose"

"other earphones with noise cancelling tend to be quite bulky and so you can't wear a beanie hat with them comfortably"

"as i am in my eighties i find this incredible but i want to listen to my books in the apple clarity and tone note one software upgrade has been and gone no change!"

"it is the most densely populated city in europe and my day to day environments are noisy"

"i am in a minority: i find the bass heavy sony wx 1000 ghastly and can't stand them"

"however not noise cancelling in my opinions compared to the sony’s"

"i was super worried about this as i don't usually like the bud earphones"

"everybody complained when i called people using the airpod pros they struggled to hear me"

"now isn't that amaz"

"sound isolation on the airpods is definitely good i drove my land rover defender and i could not here the engine"

"because of an earlier review i was a bit worried these won’t be the originals but mine were 100% the real thing i triple checked every little mark or function on them to make sure "

"if you are one of the unlucky few with ear canals that fall somewhere between the tree sizes the case with my poor bose earphone fitting you are out of luck and these will not work for you"

"if you're in search of headphone replacement because they're bulky and you have a few apple products already owned then it's a no brainer to go for a pair of these bad boys"

"for short runs or sub 1 hr aerobic sessions i didn't have an issue"

"they are dreadful"

"mic quality is awful"

"if you're in search of headphone replacement because they're bulky and you have a few apple products already owned then it's a no brainer to go for a pair of these bad boys"

"i originally had the 1st generation airpods but didn’t see the point in getting the 2nd generation as they aren’t much different"

"comfort fit i swapped to the smaller buds this improve comfort however the headphones are always creeping slowly towards falling out but didn’t ever get there"

"the only thing i don't like about them is the sound quality"

"at £250 they’re too expensive to leave behind in public!"

"the controls are ok although having to use the phone for volume adjustment seems a bit archaic"

"i like the portability battery life and anc but the lack of volume adjustment means they are not good enough to be my sole go to earphones"

"doesn’t fit my ears"

"but consistent noises will be cancelled out"

"i have to admit i'm not a great fan of the company apple i don't like their lack of features on premium devices their updates and also how expensive their products are"

"you can move your head about as much as you like and they won't come out but the repetitive actions of running skipping and walking cause them to move about"

"overall a definite do not buy if you have the old airpods keep them"

"bose offer a complete high value package with great nose cancellation and a good sound balance particularly at low volume thanks to dsp but if you value sound quality they are passable at best"

"i was super worried about this as i don't usually like the bud earphones"

"after using the sony xf 1000xm3s for a few months and having issues with a number of things such as connectivity comfort and then being completely useless for phone calls i bought the airpod pro’s hoping they would be everything i hoped the sonys would be and they haven’t disappointed"

"i wouldn’t say these compare to my over ear sony wh1000 xm2 by any means but they do block a lot of back ground noise"

"if you are in apple ecosystem this is great as some apple features like audio sharing only share to apple h1 chip headphones airpods 2+ powerbeats pro+ airpods pro if you want to use it in android be try sony wf 1000xm3 or wh 1000xm3 finally everyone have different ears there are lots of people in the earth different people different ears no company can made in ear headphones fit everyone’s ear no matter sony like the wf 1000xm3 always drop out of my ears with one touch or bose"

"they don’t always work"

"when going through the test i tried out the medium which come already not he headphones and the smaller ones and both had a good seal within my ears i am just wondering whether it comes up with the same results no matter size silicone tips you use?"

"i am ashamed to be british ashamed to be from a so called developing country were as animalistic as the animals who kill because we they have the power and authority to help stop it and make massive differences but instead they sell stupid plastic little things that you can put in your ears wtaf i'm at a loss for words"

"hiss totally gone"

"they’re also not massively loud but i guess that’s good to protect my hearing"

"have opted to return the headphones consider what sacrifices you want to make before buying these"

"there is children in the developing world that die of starvation every day not one or two or five or ten but hundreds of thousands and i truly believe that apple etc anyone who produces these and other similar products should be totally and utterly ashamed of them selves and everything they stand for my opinion is that they are as guilty of causing death and suffering of children women men etc so people who sit on death row for first degree murder because these people are dying as a direct result of their actions"

"the noise cancelling is really good like in a noisy shopping mall it can reduce the noise to nearly nobody is around you everyone have different needs if you don’t need the noise cancelling and the transparency mode you don’t need to update from 2nd version the transparency is perfect too don’t need to get it out to hear surroundings"

"however not noise cancelling in my opinions compared to the sony’s"

"overpriced i think"

"so with that reference in mind i think the pro's deliver something much closer to the recording than any of the above just as their homepods mocked and ignored by many because they are apple made and only work with apple music out of the box beat pretty much any smart speakers in their price range and quite a few above "

"i have no idea if this is because i use it on an android phone but perhaps a firmware update could fix it despite bluetooth 5"

"pro: noise cancellation is great comfortable in ear easy pairing with iphone do need to manually switch if you have them paired to more than one phone for example work phone and personal phone cons: make a annoying noise if youre wearing a hat hood and they rub against the hood not great for the gym as they still fall out whenever you're jogging engaging in exercises such as crunches rotational cable row sounds quality is nowhere as good as the wf 1000xm3 which are cheaper doesn't seem to connect to my mac or ipad"

"bose offer a complete high value package with great nose cancellation and a good sound balance particularly at low volume thanks to dsp but if you value sound quality they are passable at best"

"sold my left kidney for it and it is still trash"

"sound is ok it could be better for the price really it’s clear and has a good range but the low mid is not as punchy as some models and there no chance to increase that with the eq as it’s terrible on iphone"

"the noise cancelling is terrible it does not work at all unless your music is playing at a very loud level wherein it would’ve matter if you have noise cancelling or not due to the volume of the music if your music volume is quite low or no music is playing the noise cancellation feature just works as an annoying sound muffler you can still hear every sound just at a reduced volume"

"the reason for the 4 stars on noise cancellation is because i am comparing them to my bose quietcomfort qc35 ii but for earbuds they are very very good"

"i have a pair of jh custom iems focal stellia's hd800s etc"

"absolutely disgusted to find that i received some £40 pound cheap earbuds from a completely unknown brand "

"this constant creeping is distracting sound nothing special very neutral and if you use the equaliser on the iphone it introduces excessive changes for example bass boost just sounds muffled noise cancelling some sounds aren’t covered i noticed high pitched sounds like a gate squeaking"

"under no circumstances but this product i did and they are 100% fake"

"it got to the point that when i wore these outside i'd be constantly checking and adjusting the fit thinking they were going to drop out"

"the improvement in audio quality and audio level owing to better seal of ear canal and noise cancellation are stark couldn’t be happier with the improvement"

"i’ve been waiting for apple buds for a long time and now apple have nailed it!"

"my only gripe is the wire connecting them it’s awkward & not too long that you can hide it but not too short that it’s wrapped around your neck"

"otherwise connection issues aside it's worth it overall i'd say"

"got these earphones as a replace for my bose over ear headphones which were £160"

"i can't justify spending on expensive earphones because i have a worrying propensity for losing them"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"they will fall off again as the glue gun cannot re attach them fully and it was a big hassle"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"however in exchange for extremely loud bass comes the downside"

"have concerns over quality control and whilst cheap no good if only last a few months or try to burn your house down"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"save your money truly awfully designed product"

"this seriously annoyed me whilst running so on that basis i can’t really recommend them"

"it is very bulky for my face ears and the over ear piece does not sit properly and a bit uncomfortable"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"i use my earpods the wired ones daily and they've been going for just over 2 years now with no signs of impending death"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"these earphones sound terrible"

"it's a crap product wrapped in nice packaging"

"if you want a cheap basic headphone buy this and you not will be disapointed if you fussy buy similar for hundreds euros not sure you will get more out"

"these are completely useless they are bulky and cumbersome and didn’t stay in my ears when i was sitting still much less running which is what i wanted them for"

"they do have a very frustrating flaw"

"the earphones don’t sit on my ears well making them fairly uncomfortable"

"start with the price so cheap"

"the gold on the side of the ear buds looks very cheap too"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"i wasn’t overly optimistic as the ear hooks aren’t adjustable so i thought i’d yet again wasted my money"

"however they gave a low power warning and powered down within 30 minutes"

"sound and outside noise exclusion seems no different to the other more expensive ones i tried"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"after a while it gets extremely irritating and i'm forever pulling the cable lose"

"i understand they're fairly cheap and i guess you get what you pay for but the sound is very muffled unclear and shallow"

"in fact pants are useful they were rubbish"

"used for running and did not fall out once"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"shame as there is nothing wrong with them really sound isnt great but when your hitting a max heart rate and on the limits of your strength you dont really care about sound quality"

"for the price and if you need a decent pair you don't mind throwing away these will do just fine"

"after so many exchanges and delay tactics"

"i haven't encountered any issues cutting out and they connect really fast so i really don't have much to complain about"

"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"they were very stiff and didn't stay in my ears so i was reluctant to buy but i am glad i did"

"not a single issue"

"i have another pair of bluetooth earbuds that have an inline control battery makes them useless when doing physical activities as the momentum weight pulls them out of my ears"

"on off button sticky and temperamental"

"on the other hand in my case the sound stutters sometimes even with my phone that's connected within 1 feet of my face"

"they’re highly uncomfortable though"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"this whole thing takes a while before you figure out that it isn't user error or the fault of the other device you're trying to connect to"

"unfortunately the connecting earpiece cable sticks to a sweaty neck so then if you turn your head the earpiece to the other side gets pulled due to the cable not moving but being stuck"

"this allows the headphone to sink in deeper into your ear and provide the deeper bass and noise isolation"

"if it is bluetooth that's causing the problem then wired earphones are far better for a full range of sound"

"the cable wire is quite stiff so it won't flop about and get in the way"

"let me clarify that last statement it isn't clear when thes earbuds need to be recharged because the battery management system is massively inaccurate"

"all in all pretty poor"

"usually these difficulties arise because the instructions are not clear"

"don't bother wasting silly money on branded rubbish these will not disappoint!"

"this style of product is not suited to me as it keeps falling out my ears all permutation of sizes tested "

"i bought these as i listen to my own tunes in the gym and my old headsets always fell out or they were to bulky and got tangled up with the weight bars"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"and as a bonus if fitted well these cancel the majority of background noise able to take phone calls connects to pc cons: i’ve got really tiny ears so i look ridiculous wearing these!"

"unfortunately though this is as good as it gets for these headphones the sound quality gets distorted when turned up the battery life is poor"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"the two faulty sets have issues with volume control now working on the headphones and the bluetooth connectivity dropping so anything being streamed is interrupted"

"despite it's in the description of the product here and in the back of the box of the product misspelled as "advanced noisy cancellation" btw they do not have noise cancellation at all"

"great headphones"

"the headphones ability to produce bass is not what i'd call adequate for modern music but barring that the quality is passable for a pair of £20 sports headphones but i won't be replacing my daily non sports headphones anytime soon"

"i have purchased loads of different earphones over the last couple of years trying to find ones that fit my awkward shaped ears & that don’t fall out so that i’m not constantly trying to put them back in as i’m walking along"

"my only main gripe with them is you need to male sure you turn them off when finished because they don't automatically turn off after a certain amount of time"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"i seem to have no luck with earphones and always have to replace them"

"would not go to the gym without them!"

"everything was great until the on off button managed to get damaged whilst in gym bag"

"after 2hrs of use the skip button on the device stopped working"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"they simply died anyway"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"there is one big drawback i have found with it and it's that when the battery reaches 30% theres a warning verbal continuously which really interrupts what you are doing"

"this should be a triple click to avoid this happening"

"on my mtb under my helmet these are the best headphones around the ear i've had because they look chunky but they really aren't fit perfectly in the air gaps so was mega pleased with that"

"i have a lot of spare buds lying around so managed to find a good fit"

"the only negative for me is that despite the ear loops once wet through sweat rain they don't feel secure in my ears and i need to resort to wearing a headband to keep them secure"

"other models seem to have the same internals i'm guessing so will they be any better?"

"it’s barely noticeable though and i couldn’t care less about it just trying to write a balanced review"

"these have been great never fall out in rain while i'm on bike or in the gym etc"

"my issue is as happened today the indication was 70% charge"

"i would have got another pair but i’m two weeks past the possible return date and can no longer contact the seller"

"even when not exercising and have the device right next to the headphones the audio still suffers"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"below average at best"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"the only slight issue have is that the right bud does not fit into my ear canal quite enough to get the best sound quality so i am experimenting with the different pads supplied"

"a shame as they’re some of the best earphones i’ve purchased"

"with these there’s little chance of losing them"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"the volume control is pretty terrible they have made it dual purpose so the same button also skips ahead or back"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"for me these wouldn’t have worked in the gym as the wire would have annoyed me"

"my only problem is the design of the headphones"

"4 easy music track navigation with buttons again no fumbling around looking for buttons or touching phone"

"also came with a little booklet which was easy to comprehend and set it all up with ease"

"i'll be keeping these little twats as they're perfect for the gym"

"i cycle wearing these gloves and also wear gloves"

"charged them up paired them to the phone a doddle switched the buds for the smallest size and gave them a go"

"however if you plan to use them outdoors do not waste your time the wind noise is so severe very poorly designed in this regard"

"my headphones nomlonger charge ive used different chargers and plugs but the problem is the headphones aren't receiving charge"

"this is my second pair since i lost the first one"

"didn't hold there charge very long and after a few uses they could no longer hold more than 30 seconds of charge even after being charged for hours and no longer work after only a few uses"

"but again for the money you pay for it you can't really complain i suppose"

"im not a serious runner so probably have used then for 20 mins max on the treadmill at a range of speeds"

"if you have problems it will be a hassle to get your money back"

"a bonus is that i don’t annoy other people as they appear to not have noise leakage"

"very poor service for otherwise a good set of headphones"

"if you don't have perfect sound reproduction you've got the wrong size buds fitted"

"i like the design of the headphone i’ve got small ear canals so i find ear buds a challenge to keep in but these headphone wrap around your ear and hold the headphones in place"

"the volume buttons are the wrong way round for my brain but that's my problem really"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"well i have had these headphones for four months and one ear has broken with no sound"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"it's amazing the difference i personally found between the default large silicon buds sounded horribly tinny and the smallest too much bass and the medium buds ah perfect!"

"these headphones were bought because i needed some for my fitness and i didn’t want to lose my airpods i can happily say i’ve stopped using my airpods and i always use these now as the sound quality is just as good with better bass and loudness definelyy recommend!"

"so image you're going through a hard workout and you headphones just die on you!"

"this will drain the power of course"

"the rest isn't difficult to work out"

"the ear buds are awkward to seat correctly in your ear and are not the most comfortable to wear"

"sent back to amazon for a full refund most disappointed"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"i'm very disappointed as these pale in comparison to my older mpow earphones"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"i purchased these nearly a year ago as i have a tendency to break headphones etc so i wanted a nice cheap pair for cycling to work gym etc and if anything happens i'm not losing a ton of money"

"it takes a little bit to finagle if you aren't super tech savvy i realize that sounds ridiculous because it's just headphones but i struggled a little"

"i received these headphones today to replace my old mpow coach which broke due to water damage"

"so it’s more annoying that having a wired pair of headphones"

"battery seemed to drain even if switched off"

"despite the fact that the headphones just don’t fit my ears mpow are sending me another set free of charge with a different fitting to see if that fixes the problem i can tell you that there are much bigger companies with more expensive headphones who wouldn’t bother to go to these lengths to ensure customer satisfaction so it’s a real credit to mpow that they are willing to do this for me"

"hurts the ears for some reason but i guess that’s normal because of bluetooth waves"

"the sound quality is quite poor in comparison and i spend more time adjusting them when i get sweaty as they just aren’t secure enough"

"in fact it was hard to hear them anywhere slightly loud"

"shame as i’ve owned other mpow products with no issues whatsoever but was disappointed in these"

"would be better if battery low warning was an hour before it died"

"but this is a serious concern"

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"now the audio quality is fairly bad not as bad as you'd expect for ~£20 but still pretty bad"

"unfortunately they have just died"

"one day they're fine then the next they just die"

"would’ve liked longer but the connecting wire seem to be broken and the sound drops out"

"decent headphones when you can use them but the battery life was awful"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"i own a couple of headphones with real noise cancellation and when i am in the office i just enable it and they just kill the constant murmur from the heating system"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"sadly i have discarded the box so cannot return the product"

"i must say for an unknown brand the sound quality is pretty good and they are great noise cancelling earphones"

"because of this i wasn't interested in spending too much money and the mpow earphones fit the bill perfectly"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"ignoring cost i would say all aspects such as sound comfort and durability are above average"

"i don’t understand why it’s so low my previous over ear sony bluetooth legitimately had 24 hours plus battery life and the only reason i don’t use those is because they’re too loose for sport"

"the button placement for forward and backward track skipping and volume up and down should be the opposite way round but this is easy to get used to"

"at this price any complaints would be unjustified"

"for the price you can't expect much however the sound quality is really poor"

"the sound sometimes seems a bit bass heavy lacking vocal and treble range however i can't be sure if this is the watch or not and the lack of equaliser within spotify"

"don't know about sound control or noise cancellation bought for a christmas present but will say its beautifully packaged and comes with it's own case holder bought as a couple people i know bought it and they say its brilliant"

"it's just that when it does drop to 40% it will keep interrupting your sound to remind you there's a low battery"

"typically i hate earbuds as i have awkward sized ears but the memory foam tips and wings are a game changer!"

"these are pretty good headphones & i used them for around a month or a month & a half maybe then today after the gym i put them onto charge using the charger cable that they came with & they caught fire now i know they’re call mpow flame but i wasn’t expecting them to actually catch fire"

"not sure if i got a bad pair though"

"i would prefer getting these in a simple plastic bag rather than getting all the nice looking packaging and the product itself being poor"

"bad for make call mic is bad but if you only need for run than is good"

"design and packaging good just a shame they’ve sound no good"

"waste of time and money"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"they are much louder"

"however i suspect improving this would lead to an increase in the costs of making the product which will eventually be reflected in the price the consumer pays and 2 the volume control is not the easiest to operate in that it is not very intuitive but it most certainly is not problem enough for me to criticise the product"

"no active noise cancelling"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"these are not perfect they do still fall out when i'm doing high impact exercise but nowhere near as often as my previous ones have"

"the standard earbuds are ok but not that comfy so wanted to use foam ones that are added turns out they are absolutely massive and won't fit in my ear!"

"running i find am alot sweater and they try and un seat in my ears but get past that i changed the buds to slightly larger for running and had no issues so sweat bit less you'll be more than fine"

"was concerned at this price these might not be great but i was proved very wrong"

"only issue is for more vigorous activity the headphones sometimes come away from the ear which is slightly irritating"

"i’ve been desperate for some wireless earphones but didn’t want to spend much because i’m waiting for the new bose earphones to come out next year"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"🤔 these are unusable"

"i first thought that it was because of the bad design of having the on off button on the side and can easily be switched off in my bag so i used the chunky case they came with"

"there is almost no noise cancellation and on the tube i have to keep changing the volume which is annoying"

"in any case to fail so quickly is not a good sign and it seems that the electronics inside is on a cheap side"

"i don't really leave reviews that often but about an hour ago in work the fire alarm went off"

"dislikes: complete failure after 10 months stopped during a workout and now can't get them to switch on even after a day of attempted charging no light "

"i realy was looking forwaed for using these and bought these headfones after checking alot of reviews and as i started going gym again product says 9h battery time but trust me it has not lasted more than 2 hrs in the first week and now the battery goes low and shuts off after 1hr or max 1"

"biggest downside is that when the battery is low you have maybe 10 minutes left before it dies"

"the battery life is good but when it dies"

"after using these headphones after a few weeks i can honestly say they are not worth it!"

"i would have no hesitation in recommending them"

"which can be annoying"

"the volume control is a little fiddly but not a major issue and the skip track function is a bit clunky"

"will be returning asap"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"magnetisation would help them not fly around when both are removed and sitting around your neck"

"went jogging a few times with it and it sometimes just started slipping off and i had to keep fitting it back in while jogging which is quite annoying"

"wire too long and uncomfortable on the neck"

"as they are for me useless for running"

"however mine died while charging overnight and refused to turn on"

"i’m still getting it wrong!"

"they are great headphones but aren't so good underground on the train unless you put the volume on full and blast the music loudly which than it will cancel all noise but make you feel like your going deaf"

"doesn't fast charge but when you use probably best to top it up"

"update:since my first review have to change for one of the best for long runnig im traning for marathon do long tranings great battery life and very comforable for long hours"

"they are fairly comfortable and the sound quality is reasonable for the price however my biggest bugbear is that the battery life is awful!"

"before i went away i noticed that not using the headphones for only a day with over 50% battery life would leave me with a useless pair of headphones for the gym that were flat"

"they hurt the inner ear and ear canal if you push them in too far if you don’t push them in far enough you get an awful tinny sound"

"only downsize for me is that when you're in the treadmill its a pain because the cable keeps sliding down which means i have to re adjust it quite a lot"

"clearly this indication is wrong or they are powering down while still significantly charged"

"my biggest complaint so far is that the beeping for low battery tends to happen about 15 minutes before they die"

"so i recently upgraded my phone to one with no earphone jack and the lightning adaptor wouldn’t take my trusty old earphones and the ones supplied with the phone fall out so no joy there although my daughter is happy with her new free pair "

"misleading advertising hence the 3 stars headset itself is pretty much identical to my previous set and sounds ok"

"the control box on each one just makes them heavier than they need to be and causes them to fall out"

"this is my first pair of bluetooth headphones and i'll never go back to wired!"

"without i've not really much exp using them without the eq on but it's just less bass"

"these are good but i have a couple of issues"

"i followed the instructions to the letter yet it still took 40mins and several attempts before this product successfully paired with my phone"

"using them for running diy and calls in general"

"also the brackets that go around your ears aren’t adjustable nothing on them are so for my ears they sit a little too high"

"i paid a stupid price for a popular brand and it was money down the drain"

"i bought these as a replacement for a pair i lost"

"not being a techy it was a bit of a fiddle for me to bind it with alexa but i managed with some reassurance from an online video"

"cheap & cheerfull fully water proof i have taken these on a run in the hammering rain still work no shocks and if the did break due to water damage i'm not going to complain i'm just going to buy another pair :"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"this is a bloody shame cos they would easily have been a 5 star item had they dealt with this issue at development"

"the only problem is the on off bottom as i haven’t worked out a way not the hurt my ear when pressing it guess you have to be used to it would like it to be slithery smaller as well"

"i wanted these to replace cabled iphone headphones but cannot get along with these"

"i found them to sound far too muddy 100 200hz being very prominent and a huge lack of frequencies from 8khz onwards"

"ive had many pairs of bluetooth wireless headphones that have not came close tho these mpow ones these are the cheapest ones i have but cheap does not mean poor quality im very surprised how much quality is packed into these no connection issues sound quality is good great and they are comfy"

"so i spent more more than i should and the other company lost a sale"

"the hooked part just kind of hangs off my ear phone call quality is rather poor and you’re not able to accept a call you’ll need to decline the call"

"things went from bad to worse when i realised the sound had far too much low frequency bass and was both distracting and annoying"

"updatenov 2019: after leaving this review i was contacted by mpow customer service offering to send out a new pair to replace the broken ones!"

"the only reason i don't return them is because it isn't worth the hassle for their price"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"the previous pair lasted just over a year before needing to be replaced"

"the skip button is hard to find with big gloves on"

"i have the most awkward ears in the world and up to now have spent a lot of money over the years on earbuds that claim to ‘fit any ear’ with the result being that they always fall out within 10 seconds of me wobbling my head!"

"my main downside was that they have this little annoying flashing light on the side of one of the headphones that i have had to put a plaster over so when i use them i can’t see the flashing in my peripheral vision and so they do not disturb me at night"

"battery life felt short about 4 5 hrs"

"imagine my surprise when the box itself says the running time is only 7 hours"

"so it came as no surprise when i lost them yet again this week"

"however it did not last long"

"after second or third recharge the sound on one ear has almost stopped"

"i finally admitted defeat and wore over the ear earphones for years which were okay but not ideal for running"

"i usually wouldn’t order them but having walked and run with them a couple of times i don’t mind it and can barely notice it"

"i'm not usually one for this type of earphone i prefer earbuds like iphone ones i could never really get comfortable with the other type but these actually fit really well"

"not for small ears"

"it will connect to bluetooth for a few short minutes and then disconnect which is really disturbing when listening to music"

"what's especially annoying is that it starts to fall even more when i pick up my running pace which encourages me to slow down to keep it in place"

"i'm afraid they are going to fall off"

"microphone is horrible"

"the earphones do not feel comfortable when worn due to the weight of the ear pieces and the mic is very poor for calls"

"it was frustrating i wanted bluetooth headphones but didn't know which"

"i am yet to test in that capacity but cannot foresee any issues because they have a flush fit and are not too bulky"

"was a bit fiddly to get them to sit right but didn't take long"

"one downside to these is the noice cancellation isn’t the best but it’s nowhere near the worst"

"it's not a base machine but for the price it's more than loud enough"

"but now they are flat and the battery will not charge i have also missed the returns deadline by a few days so i'm not happy because now not only am i throwing £20 in the bin but i am left with no headphones!"

"after having attempted 5 runs with these headphones i've found them to not be exactly usable"

"i don't usually write reviews"

"if you don't have petite ears and don't mind having limited buttons that takes just a little bit longer to figure out then these are for you they are slick and do the job"

"i've used them to connect to my iphone my apple watch my ipad and even tv"

"your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep your headset is connected beep your headset is not connected beep"

"light use generally not everyday for hours"

"wanted a cheap set off headphones for the gym and running i wasn't expecting too much from thee at the price they were but i was totally taken back by the sound quality!"

"packaging 10 10 came with a case & accessories sound very loud bassy no fault on the sound however haven’t moved about with them so can’t comment on that "

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"the last straw was when i realised that my phone's sound equaliser settings really didn't make much difference and within 1 hour of receiving it the item was packaged up again ready for return"

"distance is a little short only across a small house if on the same floor but it's eliminated the frustration of catching my headphones and ripping one out"

"i would bench mark these at around the equivalent of a cheap £5 pair of wired headphone you can get in a supermarket"

"maybe separate buttons on the other ear piece would have been a better idea than to have to hold down for a few seconds every time you want to skip a track skipping backwards more than one track is a bit of an ordeal but i guess normally you wont need to do this"

"just come back from a holiday and not only is the battery totally flat but it won't even charge!"

"however i find that the audio keeps skipping jumping and subsequently dropping out meaning my music is choppy and just isn't worth listening to"

"i recently broke two different cheap bluetooth headphones since inferior quality"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"i’m going to look for other earphones now as i can’t trust that this won’t happen again"

"never again"

"also it's noticeable that in the product handbook they don't mention noise cancellation at all as there's no control to enable disable it maybe because it doesn't exist at all"

"previous ~after 2 months of light use the right bud has weaker sound i can only hear music with the left bud i thought it was a good product but i dont see it lasting for long maybe i had a defect i dont know but it was very sudden after a track i just lost sound from the right speaker and now are unusable"

"could do with some slightly smaller memory foam ear pads as l think this would stop this issue"

"anyway these broke in one ear after about 2 months and i returned them"
