The Mixcder E9 Wireless are good budget headphones that perform well. They have a good overall audio reproduction, and their ANC system is quite decent as well. They have a long enough battery life for a full day, and their design is quite comfortable to wear for hours. However, they do feel a bit plasticky, though they aren’t as cheap as some other headphones in their price range. They have a great and easy-to-use control scheme and have surprisingly low latency for Bluetooth headphones.
Our Verdict
The Mixcder E9 are satisfactory for mixed usage. They have a good audio reproduction that will suit most music genres. They also have a decent isolation performance, which is good for commuting and at the office. They might not be the best sports option due to their size and lack of breathability, but on the upside, they can perform quite well regardless of the use you make out of them. Their wireless design might not be ideal for watching video content or gaming, but their latency is low for Bluetooth headphones, so people might not notice the delay.
- Good audio reproduction.

- Low latency for Bluetooth headphones.
- Comfortable design.
- Slightly plasticky build, not the most durable.

- Bulky design.
The Mixcder E9 are decent for neutral sound. These headphones have a good frequency response and are versatile for many music genres but will be better suited for bass-heavy music. Their bass is well-balanced and accurate, and the mid-range is flat and follows our target curve well. However, there’s a bit of unevenness in the treble range which affects the brightness and detail of vocals and leads, but this won’t be heard the same way by everyone. They're comfortable and will be a good option if you want good sound quality while on the go.
The Mixcder E9 are decent for commuting. These headphones are comfortable for long rides, and their ANC is decent for blocking out ambient noise. They’re good at reducing the noise from a bus or plane engine, which is great for your daily commute to work or long flights. The long battery life should be more than enough for the longest trips as well.
The Mixcder E9 are decent for sports. They're a bit bulky, and over-ears usually aren't recommended for sports due to their size and lack of breathability. You will sweat more than usual when training with these, which can be bothersome. You’ll have to carry them around your neck or slide them into a bag if you want to bring them to the gym. On the upside, they're comfortable, and their controls are easy to use.
The Mixcder E9 are satisfactory for the office. They have decent noise isolation, and you should be able to drown out most of the ambient noise like ambient chatter with these headphones. They're also quite comfortable to wear for a work shift, and their battery should last you a few days. They also don’t leak too much but be sure not to blast your music at a very high volume if there’s not a lot of noise in your environment.

The Mixcder E9 Wireless are better headphones than the Cowin E7 Wireless. They are noticeably more comfortable, better built, and they offer a superior sound quality. The controls are also better, and the overall noise attenuation of the Mixcder is better than the Cowin. They also come with a nice hard case that protects the headphones better than the Cowin’s pouch. On the other hand, the Cowin offer more battery life and have NFC pairing, but that’s about it.
The Mixcder E9 Wireless are better headphones than the TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Wireless. The Mixcder's sound quality is better, and our TaoTronics unit had a noticeable mismatch. The audio reproduction of the Mixcder is, therefore, more balanced and accurate. However, the TaoTronics are Bluetooth 5.0, their noise isolation performance is better, and they offer more battery life. However, they do have higher latency than the impressive Mixcder.
The Mixcder E9 Wireless is a slightly better sounding option than the Mpow H10 Wireless and is also better built. The Mixcder feel better made than the cracking Mpow and the controls are easier to use. On the other hand, the Mpow have a slightly better ANC performance and they offer a bit more battery life.
The Mixcder E9 Wireless and Anker Soundcore Life 2 Wireless are two decent budget headphones. The Mixcder are a better option when you want a balanced and neutral sound, but the Anker will be better for fans of bass. Isolation-wise, the Mixcder have a slight upper hand, especially in the bass range isolation, which is good for commuting. On the other hand, the Anker have a better continuous battery life and an in-line microphone, which the Mixcder lacks.
