Mpow X3 Truly Wireless Headphone [Review]

The Mpow X3 Truly Wireless are low-cost in-ears with active noise cancellation. The neutral sound profile of these comfy and stable headphones is well-suited for a variety of audio sources. Their battery life is over five hours, and their carrying bag offers over three more charges to keep you going if you need a boost. Unfortunately, their ANC feature falls short in terms of reducing noise in the bass and mid-ranges. However, if you’re searching for a pair of headphones to wear to the gym, they’re a good option.

Style

The Mpow X3 Truly Wireless in-ears include a long stem and a sleek black design. These in-ears have a satin finish, which gives them a more quality look and feel than the TaoTronics SoundLiberty 95 Truly Wireless, which has a glossy design. If you want more traditional-looking in-ears, look into the Mpow X6 Truly Wireless.

Comfort

These headphones are quite comfy to wear. They don’t have a tight fit or apply a lot of pressure to the ears. They also come with six different ear tips to help you find the perfect fit.

Controls

The controls on these headphones are adequate. They’re simple to use once you get the hang of them, even if they’re a little puzzling at first. A single tap on the left earbud reduces the volume, while a single tap on the right earbud increases it. By double-tapping on either ear, you can play or pause the music. You can triple-tap on the left and right earbuds, respectively, to skip backward or ahead. The left earbud is held for two seconds to activate voice assistant, while the right earbud is held for the same amount of time to toggle ANC on or off. When you turn on the power, as well as ANC on/off, Bluetooth pairing, and max volume, you’ll hear a few beeps.

Portability

The Mpow X3 are in-ear headphones that are both light and portable. They’re small enough to fit in your pockets or bags without difficulty.

Case

These headphones come with a sturdy carrying case. It’s composed of plastic and is rather sturdy and compact. The lid, on the other hand, is a touch flimsy.

Build Quality

The Mpow X3 Earbuds are exceptionally well-constructed headphones. Despite the fact that they are entirely constructed of plastic, they have a substantial weight to them. They also have an IPX8 water resistance rating, which we don’t test at the moment.

Stability

The fit of these in-ear headphones is really secure. They shouldn’t fall out of your ears while you’re running or working out, even if they don’t come with stability fins.

Noise Isolation

The noise isolation on these headphones is terrible. They struggle to reduce bass-range noise, like bus and train engines, even with their ANC turned on. They’re also ineffective at decreasing mid-range noise, such as ambient chatter. While they are better at blocking out treble-range sounds, such as the hum of an AC fan, they are still only average. If you’re seeking in-ears with a more effective ANC system, look into the Mpow X5 Truly Wireless, the Cowin Apex Elite Truly Wireless, or the TOZO NC9 Truly Wireless.

Battery

The battery life of the Mpow X3 is mediocre. With the ANC turned on, they get slightly over five hours of continuous battery life. In addition, they face more than three accusations in the case. They’re also said to have a standby mode that lasts up to 180 hours, though we haven’t tested it yet.

Bluetooth

The Bluetooth connectivity on the Mpow X3 Earbuds is adequate. It’s a little unfortunate that they don’t feature NFC or multi-device pairing. When streaming video on PC and iOS, they also have a lot of latency. While latency is reduced on Android, different apps and devices adjust for it in different ways, so your actual experience may differ.

Pros and Cons

Verdict

The Mpow X3 Truly Wireless are suitable for a variety of applications. The sound profile of these comfy, reliable in-ears is rather neutral. If you want to work out with headphones, they feature an IPX8 water resistant rating, which we don’t currently test. They do, however, offer a weak active noise cancellation feature that struggles to suppress bass and mid-range sounds, which isn’t ideal if you’re trying to drown out bus engines or office conversation. Additionally, its continuous battery life may not be sufficient to get you through your whole 9-5. Their carrying case, on the other hand, includes nearly three more charges to keep you going.
