Good review; I got here looking for info on the Lite's, already owning the regular Solo's. FWIW, I found the ear cushions to be the one downside of the Solo. If I were to wear them for jogging or such I understand wanting ambient sound getting in just for safety. However I wear them most often while riding a large diesel powered mower and I need them to provide some noise isolation. In the winter over ear noise cancellation headphones work well but they're too hot to wear in the summer. What I did was toss the provided ear cushions and swap them with the memory foam cushions that came with an old dead pair of wired MPow Flames' and it works great; the sound quality too is even more improved.
wow, now i have to return my Lite's for these. The microphones are way better. For me the hard button controls are the main reason to switch over. I hate touch controls on headphones.
I bought some solos and it’s pretty awesome the sound is great and I can’t really hear anything around me. One problem was the mics on the call, they’re great with no background noises but whenever I’m walking next to any cars or loud noises, the other person can’t hear shit. It picks up everything. I think my mics are faulty for something so I’m using the warranty and hopefully fix the mic. Overall really awesome price value.
@@goh3314 to update u, I did use the warranty. Got a new pair. Exact same thing, mic wasn't good in loud environments. But honestly their sound is great. Can't hear my surroundings with them on.
Know thyself! You're probably correct about that. It's still pretty amazing that the put cvc mics, better battery life in these and didn't change price really.
Mpow Flame Lite fit real well for me but sacrifice upper range for bass dominance. Review for Flame Solo suggests better balance but is the fit different? Smaller? I appreciate your reviews addressing audio quality in more complete detail than other reviewers. Cheers Bob
I just found your video and channel. And I want to thank you for your help with this very nicely done presentation on Moore Solo. I had been looking for some quality data and not only opinions. And your review had both. I was wondering if you think that the sound of these earbuds would be enjoyable for listening to spoken words like podcasts and audio books or TH-cam videos❓
Hi Bradley, thanks. The mpow solo have more u-shaped sound, which is fine for vocals, even if not really the intent of the tune. I hope they work.out for you!
Had all the Flame ear buds and all have failed. I do love them but a bit pissed with them. My solo seam to say connected to my phone and go flat. Do you recommend any thing.
Hi @Mike - I still like the X3. It's hard to recommend them over the Flame Solo for running, I know - right? didn't the x3 win a comparison test? :-) But these solo's are so dedicated to the purpose of working out. If you're loving the MPow sound signature - lol - you will like the X3.
Sound quality I dont know how any of these sound due to the fact I own the MPOW m30s but out of the 2 would you say the Solos and the Lite are more similiar to the m30s?
If it's any indication, I wear the solos almost 100:1 more often than the lites. The lites might carry a little more bass, but they often fail to charge properly in the case (unreliable). Compared to the m30, you'll probably find these earhook buds tend to be worn a little looser, generally don't sound quite as good, instead they let you move freely and still have awareness of you surroundings
I like the lite I like the smooth look without the physical buttons but the call quality sucks compare to the solo.. but after watching this video I think I'll get the Solo
@@SoZenGadgets I don't know if mine is defective or maybe that's how they work but when it gets to 30% battery one earbuds would cut off while the other one playing..the fit is comfortable and it can get loud but the bass is lacking in my opinion..
@@trini_boi2414 It doesn't sound normal to cutout at 30% battery, I could see the range being shorter, with low battery. Just make sure to try all the tips - these don't really go deep in your ears, so they have really large drivers but you still need to try to use the right size tips to give the earbuds a chance to deliver bass.
I listen to classic rock while working out too. These solo work for rock, their larger drivers like to deliver bass but it's not their only trait. If you can, order from Amazon with their generous return policy and try for yourself
I have a mi earbuds 2s that has a good quality sound and great battery, but someone told me that mpow is a good brand and I'm getting one as well. Do you have any earbuds or airdots? Mpow is better in quality or battery?
Hi Dave, in my experience, these two earbuds are polar opposites from an experience perspective. My ears are very sensitive to being blocked by earbuds, so when i work out in an earbud that blocks noise passively, like the JLab Epic Sport, I literally can't stand wearing them for working out. These MPow don't block much, if any, sound passively, and that makes them excellent for me - no inner ear pressure at all. If you're not sensitive to that feeling of pressure in your ears, the JLab have many, many more features, to be sure and are worth the price. But for me, for running & working out, I'd chose these MPow everyday.
I just returned these earbuds (Jlab epic ANC) back to BB. The mic was so bad, It was hard to understand what you was saying. It sound like you was in the bottle or like a SSB radio. Jlab service was in top. Fast reply and I could send in for repair, but I could return them without any problem. Google about the mic problem, I did use the last update, but no luck
@@SoZenGadgets I have been listen to all of your mic test of earbuds and more or less all sound like a SSB radio or voice got distorted, when you do the mic test. Is it possible to get a crystal clear voice in a quiet room? Music/ sound seems to work well in the earbuds. Is there less bandwidth from earbud to phone or what make the mic sound so bad?
@@jlk22182 with the winter upon us, I'll be doing more indoor mic tests. The mics on earbuds are small and relatively far away from your mouth compared to your phone, they mostly have some sort of noise cancelling feature which could alter voices. My wife uses the enacfire geeks every day at work and they're better than her phone's mic quality. I use true free 2, they are even better. Mics are improving, but haven't yet matched a solid usb mic over you laptop for work calls or conferences

Hi Warren, bass will only be achieved with a good seal of the tips in your ears. Try to see which tips fit the best and also follow the instructions in the manual with how to twist them into your ear to get them to seat correctly. I wear these lose sometimes while running (the ear hooks keep them in place) and bass is much less when doing so, but wear them as described in the manual, bass is excellent. Lmk if that helps
the microphone on these headphones, judging by the test, is bad, maybe tell me which headphones of this price category have a good microphone so as not to annoy the interlocutor? :))

How was your experience with running? Looking for a stable pair of headphones to go on runs with. Did you just connect them to your phone or to a running watch? Great review by the way!
Hi Thomas, thanks, glad it helped. I use these for running, 💯 they are great for that purpose, in fact I even like having the physical buttons during the winter in particular. I connect directly to my phone. I use under armor speed pocket shorts, with the concealed, fitted pocket and since using those shorts, I no longer try to get my galaxy watch to sync with my Spotify account for watch-only running.
@@remi1213 I really am not sure, I think you'd have to do something in the alexa app to connect the earbuds and override the assistant on your phone. I have not tried it
Avoid those, they are very unreliable. You will very likely experience issues. Shop where I bought it now shows the percentage of claims, the normal one is around 1-2%, this poor product has over 8%. I had my returned (not charging) after month and they are failing again. I liked the shape and physical buttons but will never buy this "brand" again.
don't buy this cheap crap. they don't connect to my computer anymore and when I jog with them, I corrected them like 1000 times. i am not paid by competitors, you get what you pay for.
I still use my solos as my daily earbuds for running. If I have any issues, it's just a little finicky getting them on the charging posts in the case. You might want to try using your warranty or return policy.
@@SoZenGadgets if you don;t move much they are good actually. So i paid like £20, can't be bothered returning them. But they need to make them running friendly as they are meant to be looking at their sporty design. About putting them in the case, that's very trivial issue, for me at least.
When you run which other buds do you prefer? I have power beats pro, soundcore spirit x2 and others and my power beats pros broke/stopped working at one point. They all arent perfect, but which do you use that stay in your ears best while running? I tend to wear them very loose fitting while running outside for safety reasons, so I never have issues with an earhook style moving

What is the call quality of flame lite.. because I already ordered
Consult, I turn them on and off immediately, they have 100% battery, they last on for just a couple of seconds, can they be restarted? Thank you!
Hi. Would you recommend these for those with small ears? Thanks.
I think your challenge with smaller ears might be whether the earhook goes over the top of your ear, otherwise I think they would ok.
Love your reviews! So thorough yet concise!
thanks! i hope you enjoy them and that i get even better at making them!
