MIFO O5 Balanced Armature Professional Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds, Latest Bluetooth 5.0 true Wireless Sport Headset,IPX7 Waterproof Earphone 7H Talking 3D Stereo Noise Canceling Earbuds

I really like these earbuds. I am astonished by the sound quality.. Most of my music is on an old iPhone5 which, being a "mobile phone", does not have the best DAC in the world. I normally play music with a Dragonfly converter inserted between the iPhone and the earbuds. This is certainly not necessary with the Mifos. It may be because all my music is recorded lossless but, whatever the reason, I am very impressed. Pairing is a doddle, as with most Bluetooth gadgets these days.These earpieces have noise isolation rather than noise cancellation and they are nowhere near as good as Bose noise-cancelling cans. However, I still give them 5 stars because I have yet to find any wireless earphones that can totally eliminate unwanted extraneous sounds. Indeed I do not believe that it is possible for wireless earphones to do this.The presentation of this item is perfect. The earbud case, which recharges and resets them, is a thing of beauty. It is a tad heavier than most, but it contains a battery sufficient to provide 100 hours of listening before the case itself needs to be recharged. Even the hinges on the case are a work of art!.As you can tell, I like them. As regards longevity, I am unable to tell but they look to be extremely well made so I am hoping for the best.

FOUR STARS - The Mifo O5 is one of the most stylish, premium looking wireless earphones you can buy. And there's plenty more to it than looks.Mifo O5 specs:Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC codecIPX5 waterproof6-8 hours listening on a full chargeThe charging case can charge earpieces fully +-15 timesComes with 3 sizes ear tips and micro-USB cable$80 on AliExpress or Amazon US/ EU/ UK - check current priceNote: there are two versions available for the Mifo O5. This is a test of the regular, somewhat cheaper version. I didn't test the other ‘Pro’ version due to mixed reviews on that model.DESIGN, CHARGING, AND COMFORTIt's a sight to behold. The packaging of the Mifo O5 is quite the introduction - with a neatly designed box, a manual describing the designing process (with more than a few bold claims), a bright yellow-green charging cable and, not to forget, the charging case and ear tips.Just like the beautiful packaging of the product, the charging case of the Mifo O5 feels incredibly premium. It’s made from brushed steel with a silver lining to accentuate the lid. It’s big, it’s heavy and… it’s a beast of a charger. The ridiculous 2600mAh battery can charge the earpieces fully up to 15 times. And get this: the earpieces on their own let you listen for 6 hours straight at medium volumes. The Mifo O5 will last an entire vacation trip without charging, it’s that strong.The ear tips themselves look expensive as well, with a metallic look outside and colored rings to accentuate the right (red) from the left piece (blue). The insides are made of plastic, however, and are smaller and more round than the outside, making them one of the most comfortable wireless earphones out there.One downside? The part to open the lid of the charging case requires a bit of nail to open them.CONNECTIVITY AND CONTROLSThere are two very tiny buttons on each earpiece — one on the left side of the silver plate, one on the right. They give you all the controls you want to have on the earpieces, even though you may have to get used to the setup. On the right side, you'll play/ pause/ take a call with the button on the front. The other button will let you increase the volume.On the left side, it's the front button that lets you decrease the volume, and it's the back button that is used for playing/ pausing/ taking a call. Study the controls for activating the voice assistant and rejecting a call before you use them - it may save you a fair amount of frustration.What's special though, is that the tiny buttons are nowhere near too tiny to control with your bare fingertips. Because of their side position, you don't press the earpieces too deep in your ear too. Mifo found a way to make earpieces look stylish, yet give them all the desired functions right at hand.Connectivity too is top-notch, with the Bluetooth connection being stable up to 10 meters and in more challenging situations. Take the earpieces out of the charger and they connect and pair automatically - put them back in and they deactivate.CALLING AND WATCHING MOVIESThe Mifo O5, like almost every competitor, delivers satisfactory video playback on Android. Unfortunately, the same doesn't apply to iPhone users. Audio and video don't synchronize at all on YouTube on an iPhone - it's one of the worst performers I've yet tested. The audio delay is a bit better on Netflix, but in Netflix too, the sound seems to be oddly lacking in detail.Calling on the Mifo O5 is done via the microphone on the pointy end of the silver part of the earpiece. In my ears, that pointy end sticks out just enough to offer decent call quality. The other end of the line may get the impression you're calling from a bathroom, but the sound is quite clear, even loud overall. The Mifo O5 has the battery, the looks and the call quality to use on a business day then.SOUND: A LAIDBACK APPROACHThe Mifo O5 feels more premium than the Tranya T3 (left) and Sabbat E12 (mid)The Mifo O5 feels more premium than the Tranya T3 (left) and Sabbat E12 (mid)The sound signature of the Mifo O5 is perfectly adjusted to the great battery life the earpieces have to offer. It's tuned to listen to for hours on end, it seems - not constantly craving your attention. It seems like it's suited for a workday or as a travel companion.Mainly, the sound of the Mifo O5 is decided by its smooth, warm bass, which is full-bodied and resolves a good amount of detail. Unlike many competitors, the mids and highs aren't overcompensating for the bass presence of the O5. Vocals and instruments are certainly audible, yet they never play the main role. The lack of highs makes the O5 sound less, ‘airy’, detailed and precise than its direct competitors in this price range. Instead, the sound feels smoothed - but in a good, relaxing way.The Mifo O5 doesn't reach the clarity of vocals and higher notes of the Sabbat E12, or the balance of the 1more Stylish E1026BT. Let alone the outspoken detail of the Tranya T3. It can be a disappointment if you're looking for an engaging, energizing sound.However: The Mifo has a sound that is especially suited for easy listening, long listening sessions. That, it does absolutely perfectly.VERDICTIf you're looking for a pair of true wireless earphones that are a perfect companion on your workday or on travels, the Mifo O5 is a great choice. They look premium, have all the major controls on the earpieces and offer easy listening for more than six hours on one charge.

Had them for 24 hours and run in them once, but hugely impressed. They look great, the charging case feels more expensive than the price suggests and the fit is great and very secure....7 to 8 minute miling. The initial set up and pairing was a doddle and it just worked this morning in the dark at 630 when I put them in. The only quibble is that the volume buttons +&- are on the left hand side of the respective buds. This of course means when you put them in the -ve vol button on the left is at the front whilst the +ve vol button on the left is at the back. As I say, this is a minor quibble and I've learnt already the button functionality and there is an unequivocal certainty in pressing them. Aesthetically though it would have been good if the button layout was symmetrical bud to bud. In summary though they are great...you'll buy them and scratch your head where the money goes on buds that cost double the price.

First of all the customer service is brilliant. Quick response time and very helpful if you ever need to contact themI'm usually following brands for sound quality and with Libratone failing for ny first earbud experience, I came across Mifo. Did all my research and looked at all the reviews. Honestly doesn't disappoint.40% battery is pretty much low battery, that's all I would say but the charge is super quick.Definitely would recommend and I find them perfect for running as the sound is very stable and clean.For phone call use, I found that people couldn't hear me properly...but my main reason for purchase was for listening to music and I can promise that noise cancellation is amazing.
