And, like other earbuds, after a short time, these irritate my overly-sensitive ears. As I stated above, the mids and highs sounded great to me, but with the bass response a little lacking for my taste, my search continues for the perfect earbud. Better ambient sound suppression when making calls would be welcome.I’d like a little more of a sealed fit, but that didn’t negatively impact their stability.A little more bass response would be welcome, but of course, that is subjective.I think most people that like earbuds would find these comfortable.The midrange and higher frequencies sounded great.I was pleasantly surprised that when I enabled low-latency mode, while the sync wasn’t perfect, it was really, really close – close enough, in fact, that I could watch and listen without really noticing the delay unless I really focused on it. Using the earbuds to watch TV was frustrating as the sound was just enough behind the video to look weird. With sound, it can make a video’s sound look out of sync. This delay can screw up a gaming experience when your wireless controller responds a little slowly, causing you to miss something. Latency is the delay inherent in anything using a radio signal to communicate. I also tested the low-latency mode with my TV. Putting the bud back in your ear automatically resumes the music. When listening, removing either earbud from your ear automatically pauses the playback. Switch modes among ANC on, ANC off, Transparency: Hold on the L(left) earbud for 2 seconds.Activate low-latency mode: Tap the L(left) earbuds 4 times.Activate voice assistants: Hold on the R(right) earbud for 2 seconds.Reject a phone call: Hold on for 2 seconds.Previous: triple-tap the L(right) earbud.Skip Tracks : Next: triple-tap the R(right) earbud.I wish all touch-control earbuds worked as well. One thing I really liked was the touch control. The ambient sound pass-through mode did allow more ambient sound in. It did make a small difference, but not much. I wasn’t overly impressed with the noise-cancelation. Making calls in anything other than a relatively quiet environment will make the conversation difficult. With the M6s, if there was any background noise, my wife could hear it clearly. This isn’t necessarily the fault of the earbuds, as that is a difficult test that no earbuds that I have tested have passed. That was, until, I stepped into a stiff breeze. When I called my wife to test call quality, she said I sounded great. The noise cancelation worked reasonably well as did the ambient mode. That’s a personal preference, so your impression might be different. I’m not one of those that likes window-shaking bass, but I do like to hear it, and I just couldn’t with these earbuds. They felt very secure.Īs for sound, the mids and highs sounded great to me. They didn’t move at all no matter how I moved my head. But for those lucky folks that can wear earbuds comfortably, I believe these would feel great. Unfortunately for me, these earbuds are no exception. If you’ve read my other earbud reviews, you know that I have weirdly sensitive ears and earbuds hurt them. I will start the performance section with comfort. For my weird ears, that meant replacing the medium tip on the right bud with a large tip. The pairing process was straightforward like most Bluetooth pairings are. The M6 buds start their pairing process as soon as you open the case – no need to remove the buds. Pairing is a little different than most earbuds. The charging case can deliver four full charges to the buds, so a fully charged pair of buds and a fully charged case can power you through 25 hours of listening pleasure with breaks every five hours to recharge in the case. Each bud is conveniently labeled “L” or “R”, to help you keep them straight. You can see the charging pins at the bottom of the case openings and the charging contacts on the back of the earbuds. The earbuds magnetically snap into place in the charging/storage case. They have a matte black plastic case with gold microphone openings and screened Mpow logo.Ī small LED shows connection status – red when charging and white when connecting. The M6 earbuds look very much like other earbuds. Listening time: up to 5 hours, up to 25 hours with case recharges.Water resistance: IPX6 – can get wet, whether it’s a light spray, a high-pressure nozzle, or exposure to the rain.Modes: True wireless stereo (TWS) or mono via either bud alone.Weight: 0.15 oz per bud 1.9 oz case plus buds.Dimensions: approximately 0.75″ w x 0.5″ h x 0.9″ d per bud 2.3″ w x 1.5″ d x 1.1″ h case.M6 earbuds in the charging case with medium tips installed.
