Our Verdict
The T4 are decent headphones for most use cases except for gaming or watching videos. They have the worst latency we've measured so far so if you only listen to music with your headphones while commuting or at the office then they should be okay, but they will not be practical for anything latency sensitive. They also have an awkward fit that will feel uncomfortable for some listeners.
- Good build quality.
- Above-average control scheme.
- Bass-rich sound quality.
- Extremely high latency.
- Awkward fit causes seal issues.
Okay for neutral listening. They have a decent audio reproduction but they're a bit bass-heavy and have slightly mismatched drivers. They also do not have the best Soundstage, due to their closed-back design but their overall sound should be good enough for casual listeners especially if you like a little bass.
Decent for commuting. If you can get the right fit then they should block enough noise for moderately loud environments. They also have an above-average if slightly confusing controls scheme.
Average for sports. They have a good battery life a decent control scheme. They also don't get too hot during sports but they're not the most stable for running or working out.
Average for office use. They provide enough isolation for a moderately busy office and do not leak much even at higher volumes. However, they will only be good enough if you used them wired or only listen to music as the latency will be a deal breaker if you have to watch a lot of videos.

The Mpow H5 Wireless are a better headset overall compared to the Bluedio T4 Turbine Wireless. The Bluedio have a better build quality that's surprising for their price range. They also have a deeper, more powerful bass range that some may prefer, and a stronger isolation performance for commuting. On the other hand, the Mpow have a more compact design that fits better on most people even if they are a little tight. They also have a better-balanced sound and easier-to-use controls. Their latency is also much better than the Bluedio, although they will still not be the best option for watching movies and gaming.
