One teeny little silver box, so many new possibilities. The Mifo O5 professional balanced armature smart wireless Bluetooth earbuds may have a long-winded name but these earbuds are dinky in size and big in value.
From getting on with the gardening while listening to music to whizzing through the housework to-do list while catching up on the latest radio shows, Bluetooth earbuds are the hassle-free way to enjoy the sounds you love, wherever you are. With no wires to get tangled up in or get in the way of what you’re doing, you can take them anywhere.
I’ve always struggled with the great annoyance of earphones falling out of my apparently massive ears. But I was delighted to find these earbuds fit so snugly in my ears, they never once budged, even when I was jogging.
Kept safe in a little silver box that recharges the buds every time they’re placed back, these buds have a brilliant battery life with up to 100 hours of use time before they need recharging again. This handy little box also fits perfectly in a small bag or even your pocket. Made from aluminium, the box and the earbuds are pretty hardy to damage - great for if you accidentally drop them in the garden. With waterproof coating they’re even protected from rain, sweat and even full submersion – although I have to say I didn’t try this last bit out!
Whatever you’re up to, when you want to listen in, simply pop one or both of the buds in your ears, turn Bluetooth on your phone and pair with Mifo. After the first time of connecting, your earbuds will then automatically pair with your phone every time you pop them out of their box. As long as you’re within 12 metres distance from the phone your earbuds will play what I have to say was brilliant quality sound thanks to carefully designed sound technology that means you clearly hear every word and note.
But it’s not just for music. The earbuds are great for making calls with loved ones when you need your hands free and you can easily answer calls and adjust volume just by tapping the buds themselves.
As the earbuds are so tiny, my only word to the wise is just to be very careful as you get them out of their box as they’re shiny coating means they have a propensity to hurl themselves out of your fingers usually towards the nearest drain – especially if you’re a butterfingers like me. But excepting their regular bids for freedom, I’ve been so impressed by these brilliant earbuds that have given so many new opportunities to enjoy the music, podcasts and radio I love whatever I’m up to.
