If you didn’t think we were reckless enough to dip our Flame’s into a bathtub for a submersion test, then you were so, so sadly mistaken. The Mpow Flame headphones are IPX7 waterproof certified, which means that they should still function even after being submerged in three feet of water or less. We found both styles of ear tips to be very comfortable, but we tended to prefer the memory foam tips, just because we really enjoy that closed off seal that they create. When earbuds create a seal, the bass levels become contained, resulting in a bass sound that you can actually feel in your brain. We find that a snug earbud fit doesn’t merely prevent the earbuds from falling off your head, but they actually help produce better audio quality. The foam tips are phenomenal if you’re looking for a snug fit. ![]() Also included were a single pair of memory foam ear tips. They don’t call us Dumbo for nothing, which is why we stuck with the large sized tips. The Flame comes with three different sizes of regular, rubbery ear tips-small, medium and large. We have pretty sensitive ears and tend to stay away from earbuds which have hard ear loops, but the ergonomically curved design of the ear loops fit our ears well. The ear loops are a silicone material which, while on the harder side because they lack cushioning, do not hurt our ears or feel like they are poking into our skulls. Next, we wanted to test out the Flame’s comfort level, because even if the sound quality it out of this world, we won’t be able to bear the anguish very long if the headphones don’t fit us right. ![]() Included in the box are the headphones themselves (this wouldn’t be much of a review without them), three pairs of regular ear tips (small, medium and large), 1 pair of memory foam ear tips (this is a nice touch, and an unexpected one, at that), a cord clip for keeping the wiring out of your way, an EVA carrying case, a user manual, and a charging cable. Sometimes with budget headphones you get some pretty shoddy packaging. The packing materials appear to be high-quality. The headphones are shipped in a sleek, black box. The best part of any review is the unboxing. You deserve an honest review, don’t you think? Let’s take a more thorough look at the Mpow Flame headphones. People are much more apt to leave a positive review if they didn’t have to spend any money on the product they’re reviewing. Amazon reviews have become less and less credible over the years because of paid reviewers and free products. The big question is, are they as good as everyone is making them out to be? It’s hard to tell simply by reading user reviews. The Mpow Flame Waterproof Bluetooth headphones have been the highest selling pair of headphones on Amazon for quite a while now. Their portable audio gadgets are often among the best-selling products in their respective categories. We say ‘nearly’ because the product we are reviewing in this article is about as close as you’re going to get to a well-rounded, low-budget pair of earbuds.Īnyone who has ever browsed through Amazon’s headphones category has surely heard of Mpow. Finding a product which combines comfort, quality and waterproof certification at a decent price is nearly impossible. For example, the sound quality might become tinny, or the earbuds might be uncomfortable. When electronic manufacturers focus on creating a waterproof product, sometimes other elements of their design tend to suffer. High cost doesn’t necessarily result in high quality, and low cost doesn’t always mean crap. Now, there are plenty of waterproof and water-resistant workout products on the market, but more often than not, the really good ones are way more expensive than a standard pair of gym-ready earbuds. At least that would provide us with some form of fun. ![]() If we wanted to cause liquid damage, we’d take our gadgets in the pool with us. Workout gadgets aren’t cheap, especially if you want quality products. ![]() Not only can sweat be embarrassing, but the massive amount of moisture can wreak havoc on your electronics. You might be saying to yourself, “Sweating isn’t that big of a deal! It’s just liquid.” Have you ever worked up a heavy sweat? Have you ever had perspiration drip into your eyeballs? That stuff stings! Niagara aint’ got nothing on us! While we’re over at the treadmill slowly creating our own version of the Dead Sea, Jimmy Muscleman is over at the free weights, as dry as a stiff Merlot. Some people maintain a mere sheen, even during the most extreme of workouts. Disclosure: When you buy something through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
