Our verdict
MPOW pairs an entry price of $15.99 with battery life of 100 hours and noise cancelling, which suits commuters and students replacing cheap everyday gear. The catch is cover: a 1 year warranty and a narrower catalogue than JBL, so buyers wanting long protection should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Battery life of 100 hours is the standout, putting MPOW at position 4 of the 61 brands compared on that measure.
- Entry price of $15.99 undercuts HyperX, whose gaming headsets start at $29.99.
- The range spans headphones and earbuds and includes noise cancelling, so one brand covers both formats.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, adding a phone line and a help centre to email.
Cons
- Warranty of 1 year is the weak point, leaving the brand at position 29 of the 56 brands compared on cover.
- Catalogue breadth trails JBL, which lists headphones, earbuds and speakers against MPOW's headphones and earbuds.
- Charging output stops at 25 W, under the 145 median across the site, so laptop charging is out of reach.
Ready to try MPOW?
Scored 9.3 / 10 by GizmoCue.
Who it suits
- Students and commuters who want noise cancelling and long battery life without paying premium prices.
- Shoppers who want headphones and earbuds from a single brand and can reach support by phone or email.
- Anyone replacing budget gear and ready to accept short cover on what is close to a disposable set.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want long cover, since 1 year is thinner than the 1.75 typical in this category.
- JBL shoppers who want speakers, soundbars or turntables alongside headphones, because JBL lists headphones, earbuds and speakers.
- Anyone needing laptop class charging, since MPOW tops out at 25 W on charger output.
How it compares on our data
MPOW lands near the front of the field on the two measures shoppers check first and mid-table on the third. On price it sits at position 8 of the 64 brands compared, and on battery hours at 4 of the 61. Warranty years is the outlier, at 29 of the 56 brands. Read together, the numbers describe a brand that is cheap and long lasting in use, and thin on cover after the sale.
Core features
MPOW offers noise cancelling, which puts active isolation within reach of buyers at the budget end rather than saving it for a flagship. Battery life reaches 100 hours, the figure that decides whether a pair survives a long commute or several days of calls back to back. Cover runs 1 year, so treat the set as one you replace rather than one you service. The practical reading is a strong everyday pair with no long ownership story behind it.
The company behind it
MPOW is sold by MPOW Innovations Limited, a company that has traded since 2013, so there is an operating record to judge the brand against. Shipping runs across US, GB and AU, which is wide coverage for a brand priced this low. Support is the part worth knowing before you order: it runs on email, phone and help centre, so email is not the only route when a unit will not pair or a battery drains early.

Frequently asked questions
How much do MPOW headphones and earbuds cost at entry?+
MPOW covers headphones and earbuds starting at $15.99. That places the brand at position 8 of the 64 brands compared on entry price, and it sits under HyperX, whose gaming headsets begin at $29.99. Entry buyers get noise cancelling at that tier rather than paying for it.
Does MPOW make noise cancelling headphones and earbuds?+
Yes. Noise cancelling is listed for the range, and the catalogue covers headphones and earbuds, so over-ear and in-ear buyers are served by the same brand. It matters most on commutes and flights, where cabin and engine noise take over and passive isolation is not enough.
How long does the battery last on MPOW headphones?+
MPOW lists 100 hours of battery life. On our data that places the brand at position 4 of the 61 brands compared, which is where the strength shows. Volume and enabled features move real runtime, so read the figure as a ceiling rather than a promise.
What warranty comes with MPOW audio?+
Cover runs 1 year. That is the shortest leg of an otherwise strong showing, since the brand holds position 29 of the 56 brands compared on warranty years, under the 1.75 typical in this category. Buyers replacing a failing pair are served, long-term owners are not.
Which countries does MPOW ship to?+
The shipping footprint covers US, GB and AU, which spans the US, the UK, Australia and the euro area. That makes local buying straightforward for most readers in those markets. Anyone outside the list should confirm delivery for their country before ordering, since routes and carriers differ.
How do I contact MPOW support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. Email is the baseline, joined by a phone line and a help centre, which matters when you are troubleshooting pairing or a battery that drains early. The company behind the brand is MPOW Innovations Limited, so warranty claims have a named counterparty.
Are MPOW earbuds or headphones water resistant?+
MPOW lists an IPX7 ingress rating, which covers full submersion rather than sweat alone. The rating is quoted at brand level, so confirm that the specific model repeats it before relying on it around water, and keep the charging case dry regardless.
Does MPOW also sell chargers and power banks?+
Yes. The charger range tops out at 25 W, and power banks reach 10,000 mAh. That covers phones, earbuds and smaller tablets, not notebooks, so anyone needing laptop class power should look at a specialist charger range instead.
