This may be stupid to ask since you seem to have much experience with these matters but did you turn up the volume on both your phone and on the ear muff? Mine didn’t sound loud enough either until doing this. Or maybe you did damage your hearing. Mine weren’t earth shaking but just enough.
The Most of the H10/12 have the same noise cancelling circuitry. The H18 has an upgraded circuitry supposed to be better noise cancelling. For me the sound quality of the H10 is very good for the $10 price. But the microphone sounds very one dimensional and not clear during calls.
Someone said that your account knows if the $10 coupon has been used once and doesn’t show again but I didn’t try to trick it. It is showing for me and I used it on the 10s once already. I know once the Vipon code is used once it won’t work again.
Most of the time it’s daily amounts they sell —I’ve use the codes on two different Amazon accounts on several occasions—I’ve also had a code not work and then the next morning worked fine
This is a few bucks more expensive than the other offerings but I spent the extra because of the USB C charging, bigger battery and because they claim it’s “CVC8.0” supposedly better than CVC6.0. Probably just marketing BS?
Would be fun to compare these with my higher end wireless headphones from Bower and Wilkins, Vmoda and Aiwa. I don’t think they will sound remotely close, but the noise cancelling should be worth it. I tried the Bose QC35 and was like meh… no way these are worth $300.
I want to take back what I said about hearing my headband go “thud” with every step. I hadn’t tried walking with the ANC on. Tonight I took a half hour walk with the H10 and ANC takes out nearly all of that thumping (I only hear it with no music playing). There’s a bit of creaking as the joints flex, but not enough to be a bother. The ANC also takes out most (not all but maybe 80%) of the tire noise from passing cars. It does nothing to stop firecracker pops, but that would be asking too much! Plenty of enhanced bass on these with ANC. What’s interesting is that the sound with and without ANC is so radically different. Washed-out ‘blah’ sound without, but solid bass and decently defined mids & highs with ANC. MPow H10 is definitely a keeper. I hope they hold up.
I’ve been monitoring Vipon, but I am not seeing any coupons for H17 as of right now.
Also, still don’t know if H17 is any better than H12 from a sound quality perspective. I guess that’s very subjective. Because they have so many headphone models, Mpow should really put together a comparison table to make it easier on the buyer, but maybe they intentionally want to keep it vague and just flood the market with as many products as they can.
