What Buyers Say
MIPEACE MI04
These earbuds are praised for their comfort, noise isolation, and exceptional battery life, often lasting a full workday with plenty of charge left. However, durability is a concern: the permanently attached silicone tips can tear, and some units have experienced left-side failure after a few months. Sound quality is decent for the price but not audiophile-grade, and pairing can be slow. Overall, they offer great value for money if you can accept the potential longevity issues.

- Good noise isolation
- Great value for money
- Durable build
Cons
- Non-replaceable silicone tips prone to tearing
- Left side failure after a few months
