a small and beautiful delicate bluetooth sports earphone mifo i6 by codoon

Thanks to Codoon Trend Pavilion and Mifo, I became the first lucky person of the New Year. Mifo is a high-end Chinese Bluetooth earphone brand with multiple patented technologies. It pursues perfect product concepts to create top-quality professional Bluetooth acoustic products. The brand's theme color is lemon green, representing youth and fashion trends.

This time, I had the honor to review the [mifo I6]. The [mifo I6] is a U-shaped neck-hanging Bluetooth sports earphone, officially priced at 399 yuan, available for purchase at the official Mifo Digital Flagship Store on Taobao or JD.

Unboxing

The outer packaging of the [mifo I6] is gray.

The bottom also features yellow text on a gray background, highlighting the main features of the earphones. There is an anti-counterfeit code in the lower right corner to verify authenticity. Scanning the QR code allows you to follow Mifo's official WeChat public account.

The size of the packaging box is equivalent to a 32k book.

Opening the packaging box reveals a very simple internal design, consistent in color tone with the outer packaging.The earphones received this time are black. The earphones are fixed inside to avoid unnecessary damage during transportation. The overall appearance of the earphones is simple and elegant, small and without any excess.

As usual, there is a family photo of the unboxing, including 1 earphone, 1 charger, 10 pairs of earplugs, 1 warranty card, and 1 manual.

Usage Method

The manual uses illustrations and text to detail the operating methods. You can follow the steps to operate, which is not difficult and easy to get started.

Charging adopts an external wireless charging design. When using, just align the charger directly with the earphone's charging port.

The [mifo I6] has a total of four function buttons: power button, volume up/down buttons, and a sound effect button.The power button can turn the earphones on/off, make calls/play songs, hang up or pause, and also perform 'last number redial.' The volume buttons adjust the earphone's volume. The sound effect button allows you to choose different effects according to your preference.

The [mifo I6] also has a 'Hall switch function.' In music playback mode, magnetically attaching the left and right earphones pauses the music, and separating them resumes playback. In call mode, magnetically attaching the earphones hangs up the call, and separating them answers an incoming call.

Stability

The U-shaped neck-hanging design ensures that the earphones do not slide left or right with movement or head rotation when hanging around the neck.

The [mifo I6] uses high-elastic memory metal wire inside, which is not afraid of tangling, making it more stable to wear.The outer TPE skin-friendly material makes the earphones fit closely to the skin and not shake easily.

The metal clip reduces the pulling sensation on the ears from the neck-hanging design, greatly avoiding the shaking of the earphone earpieces.

The magnetic function inside the earphone earpieces ensures that when the earphones are hanging around the neck and not in use, the two earpieces can be magnetically attached to prevent loss.

Comfort

Since the battery is placed inside the earpieces, the earphones weigh only 18.4g, reducing the burden on the ears or neck when worn.

The height is only 15.5mm, making these earphones very 'small' and not bulky, a blessing for people with small ear canals.Also, because the earpieces are very small, wearing them while sleeping won't cause discomfort (it is not recommended to wear earphones while sleeping, no matter how good they are, as it can cause significant damage to the ears).

The [mifo I6] comes with 10 pairs of ear tips of different sizes and shapes to meet the diverse needs of different people.

Bluetooth

The Bluetooth is compatible with Android, iOS, and Microsoft, so it can connect to phones, tablets, and computers, making it convenient for work and outings with just one earphone.

Bluetooth can connect within 10 meters, but the signal deteriorates beyond four meters.One earphone can connect to two phones, making it more convenient to answer calls.

Battery Life

According to official data, charging takes 1.5 hours, and you can listen to music or answer calls for 6 hours, with a standby time of up to 45 hours.From my actual observation, charging takes about 1.5 hours, but the music playback time is generally less than 6 hours.

Water Resistance

With an IPX6 water resistance rating, it easily handles sweat or rain during exercise. When the earphones get wet, just wipe them dry with a tissue and place them in a ventilated area.The earphones are designed to minimize openings, reducing the water contact area and making them less prone to damage.

Sound Quality

Mifo does not have an app, but its sound effect button offers four different modes: bass, rock, jazz, and pop.For an entry-level Bluetooth sports earphone, the sound quality is barely passable. Due to the average sound quality, its four sound effect settings seem particularly redundant, especially the bass performance.

Noise Reduction

With CVC6.0 noise reduction level, it actively reduces noise and intelligently identifies background noise, making the voice more pure and natural.

Pros and Cons

Pros: The overall comfort of wearing the earphones is relatively high; they look good; and they have good water resistance.

Cons: The sound quality is average; the battery life could be better.

Summary

As an indispensable accessory for running and sports, the comfort and stability of Bluetooth sports earphones are likely the most important factors.Mifo is considered a well-regarded domestic brand with a relatively affordable price, making it a good entry-level choice for sports Bluetooth earphones.
