If you’re an athlete looking for headphones, without the inconvenience of cables, the
Mpow Swift Bluetooth Headphones
is a good choice. These headphones connect wirelessly through bluetooth, so there’s never any cable to interfere with your activity. They can connect to most modern smartphones without any hassle.
As athletic headphones, the
Mpow Swift
is designed to be sweat resistant. These headphones are completely sealed, so they won’t be damaged by moisture. There’s even a rubber cover that inserts into the charging port to prevent it from getting wet. One problem with this, however, is it can be difficult to remove the cover. We recommend using a paperclip to pop it out, but sometimes you won’t have anything accessible to open it with. On our headphones, the piece of rubber that connects the cover to the phone broke, but the cover fits tightly enough that it won’t be lost.
One problem with some athletic headphones is getting them to stay is your ears. The
Mpow Swift
solves this problem, since it has multiple ear pieces to fit any size ears. There’s also a few different sizes of hooks to hold them more securely. We definitely recommend adjusting these properly, since the headphones are a little heavy and can shake loose if not in properly. Once setup, the headphones are comfortable and won’t come out while exercising.
Since these headphones are wireless, they do need to be charged. We’ve found they can last a few hours at a time, but the biggest problem is remembering to charge them. It’s easy to remember to charge your phone itself, but most people don’t think to charge their headphones.
Some people have had a few issues with connectivity for the
Mpow Swift
headphones, but we haven’t noticed any issues. Connectivity problems are typically an issue if the battery starts to die and they can easily be fixed by simply recharging for a few hours. With our headphones, we had no problem using them with the phone in another room, as long as they were fully charged. These headphones can easily last 2-3 hours on a charge before connectivity issues start, and there’s even an auditory beep when the battery level gets low. On some cellphones, you can even see the battery level for the Mpow Swift.
Though the
Mpow Swift
is wireless, there is one small cable that connects the two earpieces together. This can easily sit out of the way and run behind your head.
The
Mpow Swift
also has a built in microphone, a function button, and a volume control. The microphone quality isn’t the greatest, but it’s ok for taking a quick phone call if necessary. The rest of the buttons are convenient, allowing you to adjust the volume and change the track without having to take your phone out.
Overall, the
Mpow Swift
a great budget choice for athletes looking for a wireless music solution. These headphones are very convenient and secure, allowing you to listen to your music comfortably while you exercise.
