Design and Features
Out of the box, the paddings around the headband and the speakers wouldn’t go unnoticed. The MPOW-059 has a common foldable design. The design is reinforced with a metal frame but the plastic coating over the headband and ear cups feels susceptible to breaking under intense stress. Another point to note is the fingerprints stick to it with ease and this is again due to the plastic coating around the whole headsets. The microphone only works in the wireless mode. I got an opportunity to use the MPOW 059 on a call and the reception has been positive: clear sound output and no need to repeat myself due to connectivity.
What’s It Like Using the MPOW 059?
One of the few important things with any Bluetooth-enabled device is to test the Bluetooth connectivity speed and performance. Unsurprisingly, the MPOW-059 flourish in this department. I had no trouble with paring my devices with the headphones, the only trickery I noticed is you have to long-press the power button for about 3-4 secs after powering on before the Bluetooth name (MPOW-059) appear among your available devices when searching. Another minor point to put across is the headphone doesn’t have multiple device support. In other words, you only get to connect one device at a time. A few people actually care about that functionality but it’s an upcoming trend with Bluetooth headphones so it’s worth a bonus if your device has such a feature. One hiccup I faced was with the operating range; the 10m range they have at the back of the box wasn’t convincing. I can comfortably use it in the next room in my house but a few feet out of the front door and the music playing starts to disintegrate.

From getting the headphone on Tuesday up to Friday, I haven’t plug in the charger and this could be partly to the fact I mostly switch to the 3.5mm headphone cable option. But the battery life has been outstanding so far and MPOW promises up to 15-20 hours music/talk time from a 4-hour charging time out of the box. In terms of sound quality, this was again matured and solid. The absence of active noise cancellation (ANC) has never been an issue since the MPOW passive noise isolation has done an amazing job to help me ignore the nearby noise. I also play music at a high volume, so I probably won’t hear what my neighbor would be saying anyway.
