 Hello everyone, this is Ahmet Don of AhmetDon.com. Today I'll have another episode of unboxing and review video And I'll be presenting the M-POW M8 wireless earbud, which I have it right here Before I start that I would like to mention that this is not a paid or affiliated review All my reviews are non-affiliated, unbiased and honest and there are no links and or I didn't take money from anyone. So you're going to get unbiased opinion and true reviews So what happened a few months ago, about two months ago, I bought M-POW X3 which is right here And this is an active noise-canceling earbud and this is a cheap earbud, just like this one And I didn't expect much from the M-POW X3 but once I opened the package and tried the earbuds Then I was blown away by the sound quality and the active noise cancellation of this product And that's what made me to buy another one which is the M-POW M8 And if you're interested in seeing the review of the M-POW X3, there's going to be a link in the description box below So I just wanted to mention that this is why I bought this one because I was totally What I didn't expect the quality and the price combination from this And I'm hoping the same to get from M-POW M8 So I just said the X3 side and let's concentrate on M-POW M8 So the package came like this, this is much smaller than the M-POW X3 For example if you just compare them side by side then you can see that the M8 box is much smaller than the X3 And they have mentioned some of the specs right here but I'll go through over those shortly And the box is very minimal designing and there's not much here But let's just take a look at here So this is up to 6 hours and 18 hours and charging time is 2 hours And charging voltage is 5 volt and 1 amp here And then the base plus is stereo built-in microphone and hands-free operation So I'll just put this here and I'll just go through my own specs right here Which I put it on an index card So this one has bluetooth 5.0 and this one has aptX and heavy base plus So aptX is just a kind of codec for bluetooth which compresses and decompresses Without affecting the sound quality So it should be better than a device which doesn't support aptX coding So we're going to check that out here The other one I showed you M-POW X3 didn't have aptX So this one has it And then this is CVC 8.0 noise reduction So this one M8 doesn't have any noise cancellation but it has noise reduction for phone calls So what it means that if you're using the earbuds to make a call or talk to someone Then it should cancel the noise for the other person to hear you better without any interruptions And then it supports two mic calls So when you're talking to someone there are two mics and you can hear them on both earbuds And the IPS rating is IPX7 And that should be okay for regular activities or general activities like rain, shower And you can submerge in water for 1 meter up to 30 minutes So this should be good for like you know what in the rain or sweat or shower or anything And then the battery life is 24 hours altogether but the earbuds itself have 6 hours And then the case has 18 hours so together it comes to 24 hours And this supports USB-C which is a good thing because you know these days you shouldn't be buying anything which is micro USB Okay so let's open the box and take a look how it looks like Okay so you can see that the box is empty and I'll just set this here And there's some brochures or manual inside the box and let's just take a look here Okay so it looks like there's something else I'll just remove this And this part or this side looks empty so they attached a USB-C cable which is a good thing And then there's an important reminder that you know it should be charged with using 5V adapter or USB port only And then there's even a small brochure Actually I'm saying this one looks like you know just to any invitation to join the MPAL's VIP club But we do have a brochure right here and let me just quickly open it Okay so here they're just you know giving some information and showing what is what So if you'd like you can pause the video and actually go through them But I'm just going to you know go over them very quickly in front of the camera So you can just you know have a look or you can check it out later on And then here we have additional looks like additional sets of earbud upper So let's take a look here Okay so you can change these if the one which probably they already attached to the set doesn't fit you properly So you can just like you know change these which is very flexible based on what type of ears you have So just set this aside Now let's look at the case Okay I'm surprised that the case is very slim I was expecting it a little bit bigger But this is even better because it doesn't feel like you know anything no weight Very slim feature and very like you know minimal very slim feature and very tiny So I kind of like that and let's open it up Okay so here we have that USB-C connector and let's open up the cover And here you can see that you know you have to slide in the earbuds once you're done with it So I'll just put it here Just to compare the earbud of the MPOW X3 what it looks like this one But this one is kind of different shaped but it's still like you know this one not bad at all So now I'll take out the earbuds itself so let's take a look Okay so the whole thing is empty I'll just set it aside here So this is how it looks like The first thing I'm noticing that it doesn't actually look cheap at all So it looks you know premium quality it has a matte finish but not too smooth You know kind of like you know very nice it doesn't slip out of your hand And on top right here it has like you know a little bit of smooth finishing And so this is the right and this is the left So in terms of putting it into the charging case So you have to just you know put it in here this way And it's magnetic so you just attract it and you have to put it in here this way and then you close it So what I want to try let me see if I can switch them Okay when I switch them it doesn't fit so you have to like you know make sure that you're putting the right one in the right slot And the left one in the left slot It looks like they're not charged because I don't see any light or anything So what I'm going to do I'm going to just you know charge them very shortly And then I'll do some like you know music testing And then I'll tell you about the music quality and the sound quality I just finished charging for about 5-10 minutes and actually it looks like it's fast charge Or if it's not fast charging even charge is very good Because you know I charge just a little bit and then still I can you know I was able to listen to the music and make a phone call To test the sound quality So now what happens here when you open the tray or the cover of the pouch Then you can see that there's a little bit of you know illumination right there or it lightens up a little bit on the top So let me see if you can see it so if you can see it here So you can see that you know there's a little bit like red or color lights and then let's take them out So the pairing was really simple you know the phone picked up right away and then you know I was able to pair without any problem And let me just go over some of the controls right now and then we'll talk about the music quality So in order to control this if you like you know tap if you tap double tap actually you can do volume up or down And it should work on either of them and then if you want to go to next to previous tracks Then you have to just long press for one second and again you can do either on the left or on the right earbuds And then play pause should be one tap and then if you want to answer calls Then you have to just one tap or you can hang up by using one tap too And then if you want to reject calls then you have to just long press for one seconds And then the smart assistant should work with triple taps So basically that's all the controls So just you know hold it for a second and you can just pause it later on if you need to go through these Okay so now let's talk about the sound quality or the makeup this product So see the way it's designed this portion which is right here this tip this right here It goes deep into your ear canal and same here this part goes deep into your canal And the ear cover they provided this just works for me fine I didn't have to change it to the other one And it stayed very well in my ear you know definitely I can do like you know swimming or exercise or everything It doesn't look like you know it's gonna come out or fall off so that worked well for me And if you haven't if you haven't used this type of earbuds before then probably like you know first few minutes Or probably I would say like in one day or two day it would feel a little bit uncomfortable Because this is going deep inside your ear canal but then you know you'll get adjust to it So I got adjusted to it and it doesn't feel that bad now or it feels okay And then in terms of the sound quality it has really good sound quality Which I was not expecting again because this is a very cheap earbud I bought it for about $60 Canadian but you can grab it on sale it could be even lower So in terms of like you know what you're paying and what you're getting this is really a good deal So let's talk about the bass although they're saying that you know this one has heavy bass or bass plus But I found out that you know the bass not too heavy not too much it's gentle bass And when there were layers of bass I saw the separation was pretty good you know So it's not like you know it doesn't like you know blow your ears or anything The bass effect and the balance is really good And when there's a vocal in the music then you know you might get slight highlights But it doesn't like you know it's not too excessive or not to excess vocal Still it's in control or in balance so but you might feel the vocal a little bit And then when there are like you know special effects special details it's fair and smooth Again it doesn't like you know emphasize too much on special details So overall the sound quality or music experience is fairly good You know definitely a lot than what you'd expect from a $60 Canadian earbud So my overall or summary of music or sound quality would be smooth, pleasant and well balanced So definitely like you know you're going to like it and what you know based on what you're paying And what you're getting so definitely there are no complaints there So overall I'm happy with the purchase and again you know in terms of the value and the price Definitely it exceeded my expectations just like the other one MPOP X3 And definitely I would recommend to you know anyone and the only thing I would say that you know If you're uncomfortable using this type of earbud which are like you know which you stick close to your ears You might not like it for the first few minutes or even couple of days but then later on it gets you know adjusted And then other thing I noticed that when you are putting it back in the case or in the box Then it's kind of not it might take a few seconds to like you know put it the right way So it doesn't just happen right away for example with my other X3 You just put in and it just absorbs it very easy but this one is just like little bit takes a few seconds longer But that's not a big deal Now the voice quality on a call So I made a few calls and I was not expecting this This actually has noise reduction when you're on a call and it uses double mic, double earbuds So you're going to be hearing like you know phone calls on both earbuds And the other parties told me that you know really they have very crisp clear sound quality No complaints, no nothing So again that was not something I was expecting from a $60 earbud So I was really happy in terms of the quality of the music and the quality of the you know calls when you were on a call So overall I'm happy with the product and I have no you know major complaints The minor complaints I already told you that the case is not It might just take a little few more seconds to put it in the right order in the case And then if you're uncomfortable with this type of earbuds it might take you a few like you know a few Some time to get adjusted to it So thank you for watching this video Forget about subscribing to this channel, forget about liking this video There will be more videos coming up so I'll see
