Mifo O5 Plus Gen 2 true wireless earbuds features fact check
Mifo has not skimped on features with their O5 Plus Gen 2 true wireless earbuds. From the monster 100 hour, 2,600mAh charging case to the over 7 hours of uninterrupted play time we achieved, these earbuds deliver everything they promise.
The improved Gen 2 iteration adds mobile device charging to harness the power of that massive battery on the road, as well as transparency mode and improved sound drivers. Overall, it’s an impressive showing that includes features found in competitors at twice the price (or more).
On top of that, Mifo includes quality metals on every inch of the product, giving it a sturdy, durable feel. Even the packaging and presentation looks lux, which taken as a whole eliminates buyer’s remorse from the moment you open the box.
Mifo has come to the table with one of the strongest next generation true wireless offerings we have ever seen. That’s no easy feat for a new brand to pull off, and we’re very excited to see what they come up with next.
While they aren’t perfect, Mifo’s O5 Plus Gen 2 true wireless earbuds are the best compromise between fit, sound quality, and value money can buy. They handily match even the best true wireless offering from Bose at less than half the price, while managing to look and feel more durable. As a note, Mifo may not be available in all markets, but does offer local stores in certain countries. For example, the O5 was recently name as one of the best running headphones in Australia.
Mifo has also been excellent with regard to customer service. They do include the ability to purchase one single lost earbud or charging case, for example, from their website. They also include options like custom fitted memory foam ear tips.
