Our Verdict

Mpow 059 Wireless

Mpow H5 Wireless

The Mpow H5 WIreless are better headphones overall when compared to the Mpow 059 Wireless. The H5 have a more premium look, a better-balanced sound quality, and a more compact form factor. They're also noise cancelling headphones, but their ANC is not very strong. On the other hand, the 059 have a more comfortable fit that's not as tight on the head. They also have a longer battery life and do not leak as much as the H5 since they create a better seal around your ears. They're also a better value for your money at their current price point.
