![]() Trees moving by the wind, kids' voices, and nearby people are still noticeable - better than on the comparably priced Boltune ANC BH023. The X3 successfully reduces darker background noises. Hisses - like the tires on a distant motorway - are still audible, but they lose their sharp edge. Sounds like engines, electric buzzes, and humming are reduced in volume. Switch it on, and the X3 gives a subtle, soothing white noise over the sounds around you. ![]() That said:ĪNC on the Mpow X3 is turned off by default. ![]() They don't filter and quieten your surroundings like full-sized headphones from Bose and Sony do. Please note: So far, wireless ANC earbuds only reduce the volume output of noises around you. It's the first time Mpow comes up with Active noise canceling: dampening your surrounding noise by the touch of a button. The biggest sales generator of the Mpow X3 will likely be its ANC feature. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to keep listening to a single earpiece once you put the other in the case. It happily rarely happens when you're walking or cycling with the earphones in your pocket, and occasional hiccups are quickly restored. While connecting and pairing goes fast, the Bluetooth 5.0 connection starts to suffer within ten meters from your device. The Mpow X3 has a good but not flawless connectivity. ![]() There will be occasions you change the volume without meaning too, however. The control scheme is great and controlling them is a breeze. Hold down this earpiece for two seconds, and you'll activate the voice assistant on your phone. The left earpiece lets you decrease volume (single tap), play/ pause (double-tap), or return a song (three taps). Bu holding down the right earpiece for two seconds, you activate or deactivate the ANC active noise cancelling. On the right side, a single tap increases volume, double-tapping plays or pauses the music, and three taps makes you skip a song. You control the earbuds by tapping on or around the shallow part on the stem. It's even better to have this comfort on earphones that also offer a stellar battery life: up to 5,5 hours with ANC on, and around 6,5 hours with ANC off. They also stay in your ears easily - the fit is great. With their small inner-part and thanks to the thin rubber tips, you barely notice wearing them after a while. The earpieces of the Mpow X3 are delightfully lightweight and comfortable compared to most other earphones with ANC active noise cancelling. Take note when you need bigger ear tips than the six (!) pairs that come standard with the X3, however: you won't be able to fit them in here. Underneath the lid are four LED-lights that indicate the battery status of the case. It can recharge the earpieces 2,5 times before needing power itself. The square design isn't as bulky as some other ANC earphone cases, and you can recharge it via USB-C on the bottom. Specs of the charging case are fine, however. The rubber tips that go inside your ears feel a bit flimsy, the shiny part on the inside of the buds looks cheap and fragile, and the case has a rattle when you shake with it. The Mpow X3 isn't Mpow's most beautifully crafted pair of earphones, if you compare it to the sturdiness of the Mpow M7, M20 or M8 for example.
