Pros

  • Top quality sound. The Mifo O5 earbuds are loud and rich at both ends of the spectrum.
  • No slip fit. Try as we might, these little buggers would not come loose or fall out. Perfect for active lifestyles.
  • Best in class battery life. There's no denying Mifo has achieved the longest battery life in true wireless earbuds.
  • True Bluetooth 5 signal. High quality chipset and firmware means zero interruptions and long distance listening with no issues.
  • Smart pairing functionality. Pick them up, they pair. Put them down, they disconnect. It's that easy with the Mifo O5s.
  • Complete waterproof protection, which includes full submersion in 3 feet of water for extended periods.
  • Transparency mode, which pipes in outside sounds, and the best implementation of this technology we have seen to date.

Cons

  • Small on ear buttons require practice. You'll need to get used to the tiny on ear buttons that control various features of the Mifo O5.
  • Case is a bit heavy. While some may prefer a hefty feel, the 2600mAh battery and metal casing is heavier than most true wireless earbuds.
  • Not great on calls. Thanks to the earbud form factor and mic positioning, background noise is exaggerating when making phone calls.

Mifo proves a new brand can be best in class, and innovates on the formula, and then improves further

It’s not every day a totally new brand steps out to take the limelight away from established players. And yet Mifo seems to have accomplished that and more, creating an original product from scratch in one of the toughest categories from competitive and engineering standards: True wireless earbuds.

Where to Buy the Mifo 05 Plus Gen 2:

Note: Mifo has not released the O5 Plus Gen 2 on Amazon, though there are older models available on the platform. To get the Gen 2, you’ll have to go direct to the source:

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.
