Verdict

The Mixcder MSH101 is a pair of over-ear wireless headphones featuring 40mm neodymium drivers with an impedance of 32Ω and a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz. They utilize Bluetooth 4.1 for connectivity and offer approximately 18 to 20 hours of playback on a single 2-hour charge via its 360mAh battery. Main characteristics include a foldable design for portability, a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, and a detachable cable for wired use. Key pros are their lightweight build, comfortable leather ear pads, and relatively long standby time of over 1,000 hours. Notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC), the absence of a noise-canceling microphone, and a legacy Micro-USB charging port instead of USB-C.
