Color:Black ANC is only valid in twin mode; ANC is different from noise cancelling technology for phone calls, ANC is designed for cancelling some harmful low frequency environmental noises such as traffic noise.

A good budget earbud; good customer service
For me and the way I use earbuds, I don't to spend a lot of money. I use them for running and cycling and that's it. So I want them to fit well, resist moisture, and take a beating. And since earbuds are such small and, IMHO, prone to getting lost, I don't want them to cost too much. So, Apple's $150+ Airpods and similar high end earbuds are just overkill for me. Plus, frankly, something I'm putting in my ear regularly and sweating on and getting ear wax on.... how long do I really want to have the same pair? Eventually even the best product will degrade.The MPOW X3 fit the bill. Very affordable with good quality for the price. They have decent sound and crisp bass — not audiophile levels here, but better than average. Again, sound fidelity is not my top criteria (see above), but I still think these sound good. And the bluetooth connects consistently and without issues. The noise cancellation works very well if you're stationery, though I usually leave it off since I want to hear some of my surroundings (cars, for instance). I've noticed that the noise cancelling actually intensifies the wind when on my bike, so it's better left off. Even so, thanks to the various earbud sizes, I get a good seal in my ear for good sound and a secure fit.Complaints:– The touch controls are a little sensitive, and I usually have to try more than once to get a triple tap to work vs. a double tap. They take some getting used to.– if you stop playing music, they will eventually power off automatically. Once they do, I can't seem to wake them up again without putting them in their case and taking them out again. Very frustrating on a bike.– After nine months, the outer panel of my right earbud popped off. It still worked, but the electronics were exposed.– Also, they quit charging! I was out on a century bike ride (100 miles) and they ran out of battery after three hours. I had the charging case with me and let them juice up for a good hour.... nothing happened. I could not get them to charge again and they ceased working.The good news:– MPOW has good customer service. I contacted them via email and they sent me a new pair, no questions asked. So, I have a new pair that I hope lasts longer.Final assessment: I got what I wanted — a low budget pair of earbuds that lasted almost a year. Since they did break on me I have to give them only 3 stars. And if that was the end of story, I'm only out $50 and I can get something else. However, since the company replaced them with another pair it's like I got two for the price of one. You really can't complain about that customer service....bumping my rating up to 4 stars. And, if these wear out after another year, I'm only out $50 and I'll go get another pair. This approach may not be for everyone, but it works for me.

Great the few times they worked
After about a month of use, this was another fail in the wireless earbud department for me.The only pros are that I was able to get them to fit wonderful and when they actually worked, they sounded great.Unfortunately they frequently had to be reset to pair and get the touch controls to continually work.And there’s the fact that they just won’t charge with any frequency and without effort in your part. The earbuds themselves no longer make the right contact in the charging case, so no matter how well the case is charged, the earbuds aren’t. The consistency to which they will charge just gets worse each time and it’s to the point where having to press down on them to get any vague connection is clearly not worth.It’s a shame, because these were really close to being great.

Solid Battery Life
Sound quality is great. Use this to travel, for work and around the house. Noise cancellation could use improvement. Anyone on a call will hear a lot of background noise, every little noise. Mic quality is good. The battery life makes up for the noise cancellation. Listening to music/podcast/videos has great noise cancellation. I travel hours for work and work alone, so it last all day, I am able to use these great for that. Pairing/set-up was easy. A good investment.

Looking for AirPod replacement and these aren’t it.
I was looking for a set of ear buds similar to Apple AirPod Pros. I use my kids when I mow and the Apple work wonderful. After reading the reviews I bought MPOW 3. They do not come close to the sound quality of Apple. They do not fit in my ears properly. They do not cancel out noise. They are very high pitch so after awhile it gave me a headache and I could still hear the lawnmower. So far I’ve used them a total or 6 hours and I haven’t had to recharge so I’m guessing battery life is good. I will be returning and buy AirPods. I gave a two star because they weren’t what I expected.

Worth the money
For the money there is nothing to complain about. The sound was great with surprising bass range. I wear them all day with one short break recharging in the case. The noise canceling isn’t great IMO but I haven’t really compared them to others. ANC does make a difference when I wear them in my noisy car, but a bit of wind totally confuses it. I’m skeptical about the waterproof rating… I tried wearing them in the shower like my friend does with his AirPod Pros, but these glitched and wouldn’t work for a while. They did work again when they dried out though!

Worked fine for 8 months
These buds worked fine for 8 months, I really liked the sound. Now every time I try to use them I get a battery low notification, and the buds shut down after a few minutes. I have charged them overnight and left them in the charger for days, they no longer charge to any acceptable level.

Received a new kind of "used" product
In all the years of buying from retailers this is a new meaning to "used." Do we need to remind the retail Giant of the pandemic? The casing was covered with greasy paw prints. Once opened, I was utterly disgusted to find ear wax on the earbuds. I really didn't want to go through with this sale but they're a gift to my son whom picked them out. I hope QC (Quality Control) is following an outlined process when handling items returned. Hence my current review.

Decent Sound, Doesn't Last
Purchased these based on reviews on other sites. Sound quality was good but they only lasted less than 6 months before one of the buds started to die. Low battery warning first. I cleaned the terminals on the buds and in the case a couple of times and the buds seemed to charge again. But it only lasts a few uses before it dies again, all while the other bud is reporting 80% charge left. These seemed inexpensive when I bought them, but definitely not if they only last a few months.

Ok earphones ruined by slippery charging case
The sound from these is passable for pop music but classical sounds a bit odd through them. The noise cancellation is pretty meagre. Perfectly ok for the gym or running though which is what I got them for. The killer problem is that the charging box for them is made of super slippery plastic and it fell from my tracksuit pocket twice. First time I realised where it must have happened and returned and found it. Second time I lost it forever. I think that slippery, cubic design caused me to lose it and without it, the headphones cannot be charged or used. So now they are dead. Might be harsh to call it a critical design failing because I could perhaps have been more careful but at the end of the day I don’t normally lose stuff and I did lose this. My advice would be to avoid these and choose a unit with a flatter, less cubic charger made from a less slippery plastic.

Don't be fooled
I've road tested these with a few hundred miles of running. I'm an avid runner and I sweat a lot. These earbuds sound decent and have good noise cancelling however after a few months I started to notice a decline in them, the battery life was excellent to start with however nowadays I'm lucky if they last for one run without screaming low battery into my eardrums.I really wanted to like this product and I was almost fooled into liking it. However not only do they run out of battery quickly, I've also tried charging them for around a day, when to start with I only needed to charge them up for around 2hours to get decent battery out of it. Now when I have charged these for 24hours they don't even startup, I tried being patient and using multiple USB-c cables and plugs however these headphones haven't seemed to work and when they do they disconnect within 20mins of powering on, not ideal.I'm disappointed as these were incredibly compact and fit the ear very nicely and you couldn't tell they were there. I'd avoid if you're buying for the longer term, This product pitches itself at the medium range price point at 50 pounds for a set of wireless earbuds however there is a reason behind that.

Great customer service
Headphones review:- The sound quality is really good and the battery lasts around 5-6 hours, just as promised.- The ANC works really well in my opinion.- They are small and comfortable to wear, even for prolonged hours.Moreover, I am extremely happy with their customer service. My left earphone stopped working so I contacted them to check what solutions there might be to fix this. They replied within hours and offered to refund the full amount I paid for the earphones since a replacement was not possible anymore due to Brexit. I received the refund within several days, as promised.Overall, the headphones are far better than I expected for their price and their customer service is excellent!

Worth every penny!
These little earphones are 100% worth the price. I’ve had them a couple of months or so at this point and have zero regrets.The quality of product you’re getting for the price you pay is crazy. The noise cancellation is pretty decent, the sound is amazing and the battery life is more or less what it states in the specs.If you’re looking for a pair of wireless earbuds on a budget, look no further you’ve found them!

Not great would be better if they where cheaper
They cut out, if you pause sometimes they go into mono settings ,if you have a slightly older computer they do not connect with out an adapter ( WiFi protocol has changed) and the noise cancellation dose make a slight difference but it’s not worth shouting aboutOK something good they charge quick
