Third-party reviews

What customers like about Mixcder HD601

  • Powerful bass performance with a dedicated boost circuit that mimics a wearable subwoofer
  • Excellent value for money, often priced significantly lower than name-brand competitors
  • Seamless pairing experience, including support for NFC pairing
  • Lightweight construction makes them comfortable for long listening sessions
  • Decent battery life, reported at approximately 20 hours of playback
  • Good connectivity range and stable Bluetooth 4.2 performance

What customers don't like about Mixcder HD601

  • Lacks Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), relying only on passive isolation
  • Bass can become loose and muddy when the boost is enabled, sometimes bleeding into the mids
  • Treble is substantially rolled off, leading to a lack of sparkle or detail in high frequencies
  • Included 3.5mm audio cable is reported to be of low quality and can detract from wired sound
  • Soundstage is typical for a closed-back design and may feel slightly claustrophobic
  • Female vocals can occasionally sound veiled due to specific frequency spikes

Verdict

The Mixcder HD601 is a wireless over-ear headphone featuring dual 40mm drivers, a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response, and 32-ohm impedance. It is primarily characterized by its 'Deep V' sound signature and a specialized bass boost circuit designed for bass enthusiasts. Key pros include Bluetooth 4.2 support with aptX Low Latency for high-quality wireless audio, NFC pairing, a noise-canceling microphone for calls, and a foldable design with roughly 22 hours of battery life. However, notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), a predominantly plastic build that lacks premium damping, and a sound profile that can become muddy or loose when the heavy bass boost is enabled.
