Review: Moshi Mythro Earbuds
The final item out of my iStore goodie bag are the Moshi Mythro earbuds which earned a place on CNET’s best headphones for under $50 list. In short they are aimed at someone who wants to replace the stock earbuds that come with their iOS or Android device, and wants quality sound and construction without spending a ton of cash to get it. That sounds like a tall order. To find out if it delivers, I once again turned to registered massage therapist Mark Taylor who reviewed the Pencil by FiftyThree and the Two Hands by Felix. Let’s see what he thought of these ear buds:
The Moshi Mythro earbuds are very simplistic in design and its great that they’re affordable. Once taken out of the packaging I could immediately feel the quality engineered into the set. Comparing them to previous high end earbuds well in the $200.00 range that I’ve used in the past, they surprisingly work just as well, if not better. They seem to work well to casually listen to music on the subway and they cancel out any excess noise once fit into the ear canal. Trouble fitting your ears? Don’t worry- Moshi had covered that and has included three different sized ear tips. I tested them out in the gym, but I seemed to hit a limitation when it came to physical activities. I found that I wasn’t able to run or jump rope with them in as they would fall out and the music was muffled. I would suggest using Moshi’s Clarus as they wrap around the ear for a better fit. The mic button can be very sensitive if you’re wearing looser clothing. My zipper seemed to hit it and therefore turn off/on songs. Even though I cannot use them out for a run, or in my active lifestyle, Moshi’s Mythro are a great find for work, and casual use. I can definitely see why these headphones made CNET’s best headphones for under $50 list.
How much under $50 are they? They list for $29.95 USD. That’s a bargain given how well they work. Based on Mark’s recommendation, I’d put these on your shopping list if you’re in the market for new earbuds.
