MPOW FLAME PRO True Wireless Earbuds






I just received the MPOW Flame Pro, I have been using MPOW Flame wireless sport ear buds for some time, but was eager to try them without the wire behind my neck.  I have often found that wire distracting when I run because it will shift and pull to one side.  When I was given the chance to demo these truly wireless ear buds I jumped at the chance. 

I took them for a three mile run this evening and was amazed at how comfortable they are.  I was listening to a podcast and it came through crisp and clear.  I then tried them with music and was pleased with how well they sound considering the cost.  Sure you can pay hundreds more and get better sound, but for $80 these are great.  The bass is better than I expected.

What really surprised me was the quality using the phone through these ear buds.  Generally I have found that the microphone is terrible at picking up my voice and the person at the other end has a hard time hearing.  That was not the case at all.  The phone quality was crystal clear.

I received the MPOW FLAME PRO for free with the promise of a fair and impartial evaluation.

Mpow IPX7 Speaker


I recently purchased the Mpow SoundHot R6 Bluetooth Speakers, IPX7.  I have not been able to confirm all of their claims (particularly that it is waterproof) but I have been pleased with the quality.  I first tried it out by using it as an external speaker when I ran on the treadmill.  I figured this would give me a good chance to check out the volume and clarity since the treadmill creates its own unique level of noise.  I listened to a podcast and was very pleased.  I was able to listen clearly to the presentation and understood all that was being said. 

And while I enjoyed that test, for me the most important was the ability to play music.  I listened to a number of albums and was surprised by the quality --- it was much more than I expected of a speaker of its size and price.  I listened to an early Genesis album, figuring that might really push the envelope; but again I was pleased.  I mean the bass is not huge, but I did not expect it to be.  This is not my Bose home system, but I did not expect it to be.

The speaker is small and lightweight and has played extremely well.  I can see taking this with me on trips in place of a large portable.

My biggest concern was what would happen when a phone call came on my Bluetooth paired phone.  The speaker did not make the call speaker phone (which made me happy).  Instead it paused the music and allowed me to take my call as normal.

I am very pleased with this small and mighty speaker and would recommend it.

I am being compensated with a free unit for my review.
