Our Verdict
Mpow H10 Wireless
Mpow EM12 Wireless Earphone
The Mpow EM12 Wireless Earphone and the Mpow H10 Wireless have very different designs and are for different uses. The EM12 is a mono Bluetooth headset that looks like a single earbud from a pair of truly wireless in-ears and is designed to use for phone calls. On the other hand, the H10 are wireless over-ear headphones primarily designed for listening to music. They also have a microphone built-in, which allows you to easily take phone calls. The headphones themselves are more comfortable, and they have ANC to give you peace while commuting or in the office. Overall, the H10 are a better choice if you're looking for a versatile pair of over-ears for all-day use, but the EM12 is a decent choice if you want a single earbud for phone calls.
