Our Verdict

Anker SoundBuds Curve Upgraded 2019

Mpow Flame Pro Truly Wireless

The Anker SoundBuds Curve 2019 are slightly better sports headphones than the Mpow Flame Pro Truly Wireless. The Anker have a better-balanced sound profile, isolate sound much better, have a slightly better microphone, and last longer off a single charge. On the other hand, the Mpow are truly wireless so they don't have a wire connecting the two earbuds. They also have a longer overall battery life, thanks to their charging case with three additional charges.
