Ordered a set off Amazon, arrived in 3 days. Nice packaging. The sound quality I find excellent( for a set of buds), crisp but with warm depth. Volume is good, not great, but loud enough. Seamless connectivity to device. Have worn them for 8-9hrs straight, comfortable and with outstanding battery life, and for me, happy they’re comfortable under a motorcycle helmet. Only slight gripe is the buttons. Bit hard to navigate and have to push way too hard for something stuck in yr ear. That aside very happy with them.

[@1markdun]

These are great but the charging is touch & go. Quite often the contacts on the buds and in the case don’t work properly so after what I think is a good charge they run out after 10 minutes use

[@MIngalls]

Theyre great for everything BUT talking on the phone. No one can hear me and its incredibly frustrating.

[@helenduyvestyn]

When on a phone call using the MIFO earbuds - the other person is overwhelmed with the background noise from my call. Anything from road noise to opening a cupboard door sounds extremely loud - making the phonecall unpleasant and almost impossible. Is there anyway to turn down the ambient noise heard by the other person on the call?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Unfortunately not.

[@helenduyvestyn]

@@PrimeAudioReviews Oh - such a shame! They are otherwise great earbuds

[@broncomania3098]

I have them as long as you have a good source they sound good for the price

[@toneloc9084]

Probably won't work for actual swimming as Bluetooth doesn't work under water. I brought these for my long bike rides which can go for up to 5 hours

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I've used these in the swimming pool albeit keeping my head above water. They worked fine but if they touch the water it often changes the volume because it gets recognized as a touch (same thing happens in the shower).

[@oorwilly9305]

I just ordered a pair would love to know if people are receiving them and whatnot because I'm seeing mixed reviews saying they're a scam and whatnot

[@jdot5974]

I received mine within 3 days and I'm really pleased with them TBH. They punch above their price point. Mine connected instantly, straight out of the box and they sound nice to my ears. I've gone out on a couple casual walks while wearing them without any hassle, although there was a slight audio glitch once when I pulled my phone out to read a message and put my phone back in my pocket. I've only had mine a couple days though so take what I say with a grain of salt. As far as people saying they're a scam I'm not sure what that's about, because I definitely received mine, and they're definitely what was advertised. Could be a matter of a competing company trying to dirty their brand image or something? Who knows.

[@Moonlight.Deadite]

@@jdot5974 How they holding up?

[@jdot5974]

@@Moonlight.Deadite I really did a complete 180 on my opinion on these headphones and this company...the carry case I paid extra for broke when I was out for a gentle walk.. so it's useless as a carry case.. I contacted customer support multiple times and they just wouldn't acknowledge I had an issue.. the headphones themselves have issues charging properly and the best solution they had for me was to remove the rubber buds every time I charge them and to press them down onto the contact points for 10 seconds every time I want to charge them.. it's still hit and miss when I charge them doing this btw - sometimes I go to wear them and only one will have adequate charge.. I paid extra for memory foam earbud atachments and they are already useless, they actually would just get stuck in my ear canal when removing the earbud.. Random connection dropouts when walking in populated areas - I assume because of competing frequencies from other Bluetooth devices etc.. Yeah... I have a really terrible opinion of this company and this product now. Customer support take weeks to reply and then just dodge the issues and skirt any responsibility.. buying this product is literally my biggest purchasing regret I have ever made and you couldn't pay me to put up with this crap. Literally wouldn't even pay $20 for this rubbish. Terrible product, terrible customer service, trash company

[@Moonlight.Deadite]

@@jdot5974 Oh wow, thanks for the input. I need some earbuds myself (but not willing to pay gods price himself for AirPods) so I’ve been looking at online lists. This was ranked #10 and seemed to be the only one my budget would be able to get my hands on. But hey now I’d know to avoid these.

[@jdot5974]

@@Moonlight.Deadite That was my exact thought process when I was looking for these too.. I was suckered in by the fact they appeared on quite a few top 10 lists but I now know never to trust any of those sources.

[@marczuri]

Their warranty is literally a joke!! they do everything to pretend it exists, except honour it. avoid at all cost!!

[@bur1216]

Been dealing with them for 3 months, still no action on my refund.

The cable that comes with it sucks get a better one made unit hot

[@The_lastfallen]

tnx for video, plz tell me 🙏🏻 i finally got to 2 choices, Monarch Mk2 & Moondrop variation !! my only concern is about Monarch Mk2 in the part of bass !! is better than variation in part of bass?? do you think Monarch Mk2 is worth paying twice as much??

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I haven't tried either of those. 🤔

[@The_lastfallen]

@@PrimeAudioReviews ok next week i will finally buy & i choose between "ifi go bar" & Questyle M15 , which one do you think is better & which one do you choose??

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I'm afraid I have the same answer haha. I haven't had a chance to try either of them.

Do They Have The LDAC Codec

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

No LDAC.

[@troybyers77]

People who do reviews on mifo products should take there videos down. So many people like thousands of people are getting scammed from mifo. They never reply to emails they take your money and never send them out.

[@grimdarkseid]

What are you talking about? I still use my mifo 05 version 1, i've been using that for years without any problem. Just pick the seller you'd buy these so you won't have any problem just place a cash on delivery option. So they will not get your money and just send the product first. I ordered mine thru an app called shopee or lazada.

[@rtags]

I've had 2 pairs and multiple people I know have had them too. Never had an issue contacting them either.

[@HarjinderSingh-us9lb]

I have both there versions , never had any issue

[@bur1216]

No one mentions how it is impossible to get a refund from this company when the product is defective.

[@indigobuburat]

I’ve emailed them twice in the past two weeks and it’s radio-silent… that’s so frustrating!

[@slappymcslapster8845]

Picked these up and was VERY disappointed. Hardly any bass, very low max volume (granted I do have a bit of a hearing loss but not that much) and to be honest? My old school $20 Mpow earbuds (with the cord that connects right and left) sound at least as good as these if not better.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Yeah, as I mentioned in the vid, they sacrificed audio quality for the IPX water-resistance. I agree, the sound is pretty poor.

[@jdot5974]

@@PrimeAudioReviews You didn't say the sound was "pretty poor" in this very video review though. You said the water resistance affects sound quality "slightly" and that they had a decent bass which didn't sound sluggish, instrument separation was impressive, clarity was good but not as good as the Slide True etc.. so which is it? Do they sound good, do they sound nice, or do they sound pretty poor? Literally your exact words were "they both sound good, they both sound nice, just not class leading". I'm just confused why you would spend close to 10 minutes saying one thing in your video review but then say "the sound is pretty poor" in a comment? Also this guy saying the Max volume isn't loud enough must have some significant hearing loss because I'm using these earbuds right now just paired off an android phone and if I try to crank this video to Max volume it's uncomfortably loud.. so..

[@jl-ik6fs]

For the love of god. Pls don’t get this product, it’s so trash. My right one stopped working after a month, and sometimes the music just stops by itself. Switched back to AirPods after, never felt any happier than this ever…

[@broncomania3098]

It did take like 3 weeks to receive them and customers service is non existent

[@Moonlight.Deadite]

But how are they?

[@anubis4Ever8957]

150hrs,Done for the 1st time in 2019 by Nokia BH605 earbuds with a 3500Mah battery,mono and dual capabilities,The Nokia has an all round quality in audio as well call clarity is excellent.

Hope ur next review is Letshuore S12 😁 If possible how good it pairs with xduoo link 2 bal.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

@@chappelli7035 I haven't heard of any variations.

[@ashtonrobinson7771]

These looks great but $100 is a little much for what you're getting.

[@MortalWombatUK]

At first they seemed okay; the battery life was fine and the bass was deep and bassy. But a year on, the left one stopped working, the bass sounded like tapping on a tree with a plastic fork, and now the right one won’t even charge at all. Typical Chinese rubbish. Definitely not worth the £100 I paid. Avoid.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Shame about your earbuds. But I loved your plastic fork analogy!
