Mpow Jaws Neckband Bluetooth Earbuds Review

Earbud manufacturers are constantly experimenting with new and unique design in order to fulfill the desire of their customers to have better listening comfort as well as longer battery lives. The neck-band style of earbuds gained popularity when LG introduced the LG Tone Pro earbuds and since then, the design has been adopted by a number of other manufacturers in the industry. One of them is Mpow and they have launched their Mpow Jaws neckband earbuds, which are wireless, affordable and also come with the promise of excellent audio quality as well as a long battery life. So, does it fulfill its promise or it doesn’t? Let’s take a look.

The look of the shark has served as the inspiration for the design of the Mpow Jaws earbuds, at least as far as the neckband is concerned. You will notice that the texture of the black matte finish is very fine. This is actually great because it means the earbuds have a very unique and premium feel to them, something that you cannot expect from earbuds that fall in this price range. As compared to other earbuds of the same design that are available in the market, the Mpow Jaws are almost 60 percent lighter and that’s because they have opted to use silicone for making them.

The earbuds weigh about 1.2 ounces, which means that after a while, you won’t even feel the neckband around your neck and will also forget about the earbuds in your ear. The earbuds have an ergonomic shape and this is immensely comfortable and enables you to listen to music or whatever you want for a number of hours without feeling any discomfort at all. If the stock eartips start feeling uncomfortable, there are several other pairs that Mpow provides with the Jaws earbud and they can simply be replaced with one of them.

As opposed to the traditional earbuds, there are two major benefits you can enjoy when you go with the neckband design. First, earbud manufacturers find it quite easy to put in powerful batteries and secondly, this design produces less pulling force on your ear. Mpow has taken advantage of the design and put in a pretty big battery due to which the Jaws earbuds can last for about 13 hours if you use them for listening continuously or 350 hours in the standby mode. As far as charging the earbuds is concerned, it takes only 3 hours for the charge to reach 100 percent.

One of the top reasons people go with neckband earbuds is because they are known to offer superior noise reduction as well as excellent sound quality. The good news is that the Mpow Jaws are successful in meeting these requirements as you can enjoy high-definition audio quality when you wish to make hands-free calls. Moreover, Qualcomm’s cVc noise cancelling technology helps them in providing above-average noise cancellation and reduction. The Bluetooth 4.1 wireless transmission technology is used for connecting the earbuds and they will remain connected even when you are 10 meters away.

You can pair the Mpow Jaws with multiple devices simultaneously and in some devices, like the iPhone 7, you will be able to see the remaining battery power of the earbuds in the status bar. In regard to sound quality, it is definitely a lot better than you would expect to see in earbuds that are priced at $20. Bass is also a surprise because you get to see an accurate, bold and convincing delivery. Overall, the earbuds are able to offer you with great sound quality and are affordable as well. Charge the earbuds with the USB cable and you can start using them.
