Mifo O5 Gen 2 | Ear Buds REVIEW | Best Ear Buds for Runners 2021? 🎧

[@HereWeAreRunning]

PLEASE NOTE: I've heard reports of poor customer service provided by Mifo and suggest considering recent TrustPilot reviews before deciding whether to buy the product.

That sound demo on the treadmill was awesome.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

They do a great job of cancelling out the noise 👍

[@NcboreasVapes]

Great Vid! I've just purchased these for my running. Haven't been out there yet and still dubious about if they'll stay in place but the sound quality is good. For where I run, I don't need a transparency mode but I fully get where you're coming from. Love how they automatically detect my phone. Your helpful upload has made the difference between purchasing or not purchasing.

[@AngelaKaySams]

My son just got these and loves wearing one at a time while at work as these switch to mono when only one is being worn, as you said. 💪🏽

[@lauradryden]

Looks like a decent pair of earbuds! I had no idea that transparency mode even existed but that does sound like a must have feature for running. Great review!

[@HereWeAreRunning]

They are well made and great sound quality. Transparency mode would have made they good for road running but without it, they are a great option for gym work.

[@amrlsani]

These were an amazing upgrade from the old ones i had like type-c cable and touch control finally. The battery, sound and connectivity were already nailed. If only they add the ambient mode it'll be perfect. Not sure if i wanna grab this one or wait for the next version if they might upgrade with ambient mode 😅

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks for sharing your views 👍

[@BenNotley]

Great indepth review Chris! Thanks for sharing with us mate. 😎🤘🏻

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks for watching Ben, appreciate it 👍😀

Please lookup local reviews of the supplier before purchasing. I am currently in a battle to get a refund from Mifo Australia, several weeks after I paid for the earphones and nothing was been shipped. 1.2 star Trust Pilot average in Australia with many similar experiences reported.

[@DanRuns]

I’ve only ever run in Airpods and they’ve never fallen out. These look cool!

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Yeah, they certainly have a touch of quality about them 👍😀

[@docdan7153]

I purchased two earphones (05 and 07 ) from them and was satisfied with the price/performance. I lost my first pair so i purchased my third pair and that was a big mistake because they did not send the product for a month and eventually through constant correspondence they "agreed" to a refund. It has been 4 months since they agreed and if i ever contact them I get the same excuses from mifo support such as an "IT issue preventing refund" and that theyd process the refund as soon as possible. They are a flat out scammer company.

Hi mate, I’m purchasing these with intentions to use them up the slopes while wearing a helmet. I’ve used earbuds in helmets before and I always have problems accidentally activating voice control, songs pause and skip etc and it does my head in to the point I no longer bother. I heard there is two versions of these headphones one being the Mifo 05 gen 2 touch activated model and the other Mifi Plus gen 2 model with plush buttons. Do you sell both versions and which one would you recommend for my situation to prevent accidentally kicking off voice controls and song skips and pauses etc while riding as the side of the help or snowboard googles is always pushing up against my ears

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Sorry, I've not used them with a helmet before.

Within three months of purchasing these (uncomfortable) earbuds the left one just stopped working. I have now jumped through the same (countless) hoops, repeatedly. For example: Power: Make sure your devices are powered on. It seems like an obvious thing, but sometimes, you might need to double-check it due to power-saving mode or sleep mode; otherwise, devices won’t sync. Compatibility: Make sure both the devices are compatible and support each other. Proximity: Normally, Bluetooth devices remain paired for up to 30 feet. You’ll notice distortion, so keep devices close to each other for better performance. Modes: Make sure the airplane or power-saving mode is turned off. Interference: Get away from any potential source of interference that might affect the Bluetooth connectivity. Updates: Make sure the Bluetooth version is updated. Charge: Some devices support smart power management, due to which you might face connectivity issues if you have low charging. So keep it charged. Power: If you are unable to resolve the issue try switching off and then on. Settings: If you are unable to pair after trying different ways, try to delete saved settings that might have been corrupted and start fresh. The advice was: turn it on and then off again - OK, IT crowd. Once I returned the product and the receipt they claimed the needed evidence of the return - which I then gave, I have heard NOTHING since then, complete silence. Dodge this brand!

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Sorry to hear that 😒

[@GokuRunner]

Nice review Chris!!! I like it bassy!

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks Jeremy. Got to like a bit of bass 👍😃

[@cooknaris]

So they removed the transparacy mode? Because the old ones had it...

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Yep, this model doesn't have it.

[@amillionwhooshes]

Hey Chris, great review! Can you swim with these?

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks - they are IP67 rate which means they can be submerged in water up to 1m deep for up to 30 mins. Personally I wouldn't wear them for swimming.

[@toneloc9084]

Bluetooth doesn't work under water

[@robho8465]

The 05 plus gen 2 has transparency mode. Those do not

[@HereWeAreRunning]

👍

[@robho8465]

@@HereWeAreRunning I've actually got the ones with transparency mode updated 2021. Instead of upgrading from the Jaybird vista to vista 2, saving £100. So far no problems and better than vista ones I had.

[@amrlsani]

How to activate the ambient mode though cause they use button controls right?

[@Imslybacon]

Mate please check their trust pilot reviews. They are almost a scam. Please do not allow this review to sway people to buy from them. They are awful to deal with, my buds developed a problem and I cannot, along with many others, get the matter resolved.

[@HereWeAreRunning]

Thanks for bringing to my attention. I've made comment of this in the description and pinned comments.

[@alexkelly2051]

Do not buy these in Australia absolutely a scam company and the worst customer service I've nearly given up on getting my money back
