The Mpow Flame Pro Truly Wireless are a very good pair of sports truly wireless headphones. Their comfortable ear-hook design ensures a stable fit that'll keep these headphones snug in your ears regardless of how strenuous the workout is. Their nearly 12-hour single-charge battery life should easily last a full day, and you get nearly 50 hours when you count their charging case. Their bass-heavy sound profile may not be the best choice for fans of all genres, but it will help keep you pumped up when listening to dubstep or hip-hop at the gym. Unfortunately, they do a bad job of blocking out background noise, so they may not be ideal for your daily commute or to help keep you concentrated in the office.
Our Verdict
The Mpow Flame Pro are mediocre mixed usage headphones. They do a bad job at blocking out background noise, and their bass-heavy and dark sound profile means they aren't well-suited for a very wide range of genres. On the bright side, their 12-hour battery life is good, especially for a pair of truly wireless headphones. They're also comfortable and feel very stable in the ear, making them a good choice for taking to the gym.
- Outstanding total battery life.
- Easy to use controls.
- Very stable fit suitable even for strenuous workouts.
- Very bass-heavy sound profile may not be suitable for a wide variety of genres.
- Bad noise isolation.
The Mpow Flame Pro aren't recommended for neutral sound listening. Their bass-heavy and veiled sound profile is very inaccurate and extremely lacking in treble. They also don't come with a dedicated companion app, so you can't change their EQ. While they should please fans of EDM or hip-hop, they aren't well-suited for genres like classic rock or even some pop.
The Mpow Flame Pro are alright headphones for commuting or travel. They're comfortable enough to wear for extended periods, and their battery should easily last through even the longest of flights, especially with the extra three charges from their case. Unfortunately, their noise isolation is bad, so they won't help block out the rumble of bus engines or the chatty person next to you on the plane.
The Mpow Flame Pro are very good truly wireless headphones for sports. Their ear-hook design makes them very stable, and they should stay comfortably in your ear during even the most strenuous of workouts. Their bass-heavy sound profile is well suited for songs with a lot of kick that will help you stay motivated in the gym, and their easy-to-use controls make it easy to skip tracks or adjust the volume. They're also rated IPX5 for water resistance.
The Mpow Flame Pro are mediocre headphones for office use. While they should be comfortable enough for most people to use all day, their bad noise isolation means they won't help block out chatty coworkers. Their battery performance is decent overall, and they should easily last an entire workday without needing a charge.
The Mpow Flame Pro aren't recommended for wireless gaming. They aren't compatible with either PS4 or Xbox, and while you can connect them to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, their latency is likely too high for gaming.
The Mpow Flame Pro are Bluetooth-only headphones that you can't use wired.
The Mpow Flame Pro are sub-par headphones for phone calls. While they have an integrated microphone to allow you to take phone calls while on the go or at the gym, your voice will sound thin and lacking in detail. It'll also be hard for the person on the other end of the line to hear you in even moderately loud environments.
