Can I wear Mifo O5 in shower?

What are the differences between the Mifo O5 Plus Gen 2, O5 Professional and O7?

The O5 Plus Gen 2 is our newest product with brand new, better Bluetooth chips and master chipsets for each earbud that offer improved sound quality and bass. This model also includes transparency mode, which allows you to listen to the outside world at the touch of a finger and can charge your smartphone by plugging in to the included USB-C charging case offering 100 hours of play time.

The O5 Pro model features balanced armature drivers, which produce a crisper sound at high and low ranges. This technology is favored by audiophiles and is best for instrumental music such as jazz, classical, and rock. The O5 PLUS Gen 2 model features 6mm dynamic drivers, which deliver a powerful, bass heavy sound best for modern pop music, hip hop, and electronic. Both models offer best in class sound reproduction, but it comes down to your personal preference for music genre. 

The Mifo O7 has dual balanced armature drivers in each earbud (a total of 4 speaker drivers)  for incredibly accurate and big sound at all frequencies, haptic touch controls, active noise canceling, and the latest Bluetooth 5 chipset from Qualcomm. The O7 comes with a more compact USB-C charging case that offers 24 hours of play time.

I found a cheaper price on another website, will you price match?

Our website is listed as the authorized distributor of Mifo Products and the only point of purchase that provides the full manufacturer’s warranty for 1-year. Often unauthorized vendors will try to "dropship" from China. Hence, the price difference.

Codes offered from paid YouTube reviewers, Amazon.com, and other websites are not authorized or affiliated with this store. You may be receiving older models with outdated features, or products intended for the Chinese market. These products are not covered under our 1-year warranty and we cannot provide customer support. Please purchase only from this website. Trust us, saving $10 isn't worth the experience of an old or counterfeit product!

Can I use Mifo's products while swimming or in the shower?

Our earbuds are rated as waterproof, but we do not recommend submerging for longer than 30 minutes or at any depth below ½ meter. In addition, the Bluetooth signal is impeded by water, and so your source player must be very close in order to be effective while swimming (ideally a waterproof smartwatch).

Showering is totally fine, and even the soapiest shampoos will not harm the O5 Plus Gen 2, O5 Pro, or O7 products.

Note: The aluminum charging case is not waterproof.

Do Mifo earbuds connect individually? Can I use one earbud only if I want?

All Mifo models can use either one or both earbuds, and automatically adjust from one ear to dual ear.

For example, if you are using a single earbud, and remove the second from the charging case, it will automatically pair without interrupting music or calls. You may also move from using both earbuds to a single earbud in either ear without interruption.

I purchased an extended warranty. What exactly does the extended warranty cover?

We make it easy to cover your Mifo products for extended periods by purchasing an additional year of coverage. The following occurrences are covered as part of any extended warranty:

  • No deductibles or added costs. Parts, labor and shipping included.
  • Power surge covered from day one. Other breakdowns covered after the manufacturer's warranty expires.
  • Includes 24/7 tech support - setup, connectivity issues, troubleshooting and much more.
  • File a claim online or by phone 24/7. If we can't repair it, we'll replace it or reimburse the purchase price with an Amazon e-gift card.
  • Plans are only valid for new or certified refurbished products purchased in the last 30 days with no pre-existing damage.

In this review, I’m checking out the Mifo 05 Plus Gen 2 TWS earbuds. The 05 Plus Gen 2 features a staggering 150 hours of playback time with the included case and can even be used in the water. Tested at $89.99.

Design

Like the original 05 Plus, the Gen 2 has teardrop-shaped earbuds. Mine came in gunmetal grey colour but there are a total of 7 different colours available. The faceplates have a glossy finish while the bulk of the shells has a matte black finish. There’s a colour-coded vertical slit at the bottom of the faceplates: red for the right and blue for the left.

The Mifo 05 Plus Gen 2 are super comfortable in my ears. They don’t protrude out but just fill my concha area perfectly. Moving around isn’t a problem: the earbuds feel stable and secure.

The carrying case is metal and is quite hefty. It feels very robust and premium in the hand. What’s really neat about this case is that you can get up to 150 hours of playback time thanks to the large battery capacity. In fact, you can even use the case to fully charge a smartphone from 0 battery at least once.

There’s a small LED on the outside of the case near the USB port that shows the charging status. Inside the case, there’s another LED and this one shows the current battery level of the case.

Calls, Video & Game Performance

The microphone quality on the 05 Plus Gen 2 is frankly really bad. My voice sounds muffled and compressed and lacks clarity. It’s good enough to make calls but if you make a lot of calls with your TWS earbuds, you might want to consider something else.

Video and game performance are really solid. There are no sync issues when watching videos on my iPhone and there’s hardly any noticeable latency when playing games.

Sound

The Mifo 05 Plus Gen 2 has a warm, smooth sound with an emphasis on the bass. It’s quite powerful and delivers kick drums with plenty of impact. Although the bass is somewhat thick, it’s pretty snappy and doesn’t feel sluggish.

The midrange is recessed and sits a little behind the bass. Midrange clarity is average but vocals are articulate and easy to distinguish above the music. The instrument separation is good and the sounds don’t get congested. Lower midrange notes are boosted slightly giving some added weight to male vocals.

When it comes to details, the 05 Plus Gen 2 performs surprisingly well. The treble is laid-back and smooth – perfect for anyone who’s treble-sensitive. Treble notes are rounded and soft but are still able to inject enough energy into the sound.

The Apollo Bold has more bass, especially when the ANC is turned on. The overall sound quality of the Tronsmart is better, especially in regards to clarity. Vocals and the midrange are more forward and the treble is crisper.

When it comes to features, the Apollo Bold is hard to beat: it has hybrid ANC modes, in-ear detection and app support. Battery life is similar on both models. The 05 Plus Gen 2 has better water resistance and a larger battery in its charging case.
