The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is a mono on-ear designed for taking phone calls on-the-go. This well-built, comfortable headset has an over 17-hour continuous battery life that's ideal for long days on the go, and its standby mode helps conserve battery when it's not in use. Its boom microphone transmits your voice clearly, and it's flippable, so you can wear it on either ear. However, this headset isn't very versatile, and the manufacturer doesn't recommend it for listening to music. That said, if you're looking for a portable Bluetooth headset, it's a solid choice.
Our Verdict
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is inadequate for mixed usage. This mono on-ear is designed for taking phone calls, and the manufacturer doesn't recommend it for listening to music. Its mono design lets you hear your voice while you take calls, but it also lets in a lot of background noise, making it less than ideal to use while you're commuting or in a noisy office. However, it has a long continuous battery life, a comfortable fit, and its microphone has a decent recording quality, so it's suitable for on-the-go phone calls.
- Comfortable fit.
- Decent recording quality.
- Not intended for music.
- Not stable enough for exercise.
- Mono design doesn't block out background noise.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is poor for neutral sound. It isn't intended for listening to music, and it has a very unbalanced sound profile. Fortunately, its mid-range is quite balanced, so it reproduces voices from phone calls clearly and accurately.
- Balanced mid-range.
- Not intended for music.
- Inconsistent audio delivery.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is disappointing for commuting and traveling. It's very comfortable and its long continuous battery life should be more than enough to get you through your commute. However, it isn't the most portable, and its mono design lets in a lot of background noise, which may make it difficult to take calls in noisier settings like a busy train station.
- Comfortable fit.
- Mono design doesn't block out background noise.
- Not very portable.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is okay for taking calls while out on a run because it's light and comfortable. However, it doesn't have the most stable fit, so it'll likely fall off your head while working out. Also, its mono on-ear design isn't the most portable.
- Comfortable fit.
- Not stable enough for exercise.
- Not very portable.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is sub-par for office use. Its continuous battery life is over 17 hours, which is more than enough to get you through your workday. Also, it can be comfortably worn for long periods without a lot of fatigue. It doesn't leak a lot of noise, so you can turn up the volume without disturbing your coworkers. That said, this mono on-ear doesn't block out background noise by design, which may not be ideal for taking calls in a noisy office environment.
- Comfortable fit.
- Mono design doesn't block out background noise.
- Not very portable.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset isn't compatible with PS4 or Xbox One. It can be used with Bluetooth-enabled PCs, but its latency is likely too high to be suitable for wireless gaming.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is wireless-only, so it isn't suitable for wired gaming.
The Mpow Pro Trucker Bluetooth Headset is middling for taking phone calls in a noisy environment due to its mono design, but its decent recording quality is suitable for phone calls. Its boom microphone can reproduce your voice clearly, though it may also sound a bit thin. It also has a standby mode to help conserve the battery when it's not in use. However, it's designed so that you can hear your voice during calls, so it's best-suited for quiet settings.
- Decent recording quality.
- Mono design doesn't block out background noise.
