Verdict

The Mpow H5 is a budget-friendly pair of over-ear wireless headphones featuring 40mm drivers and active noise cancellation (ANC) technology. These headphones utilize Bluetooth 4.1 for wireless connectivity but also support a wired passive mode via a 3.5mm jack for when the 300mAh battery—providing up to 18 to 30 hours of playback depending on ANC usage—is depleted. Key pros include a lightweight, 230g foldable design with metal-reinforced hinges for portability, intuitive on-ear controls, and a sound profile characterized by punchy bass and clear highs that notably improves when ANC is engaged. However, notable cons include a lackluster ANC performance that struggles with higher frequencies, micro-USB charging rather than USB-C, and potential discomfort for those with larger ears due to relatively shallow earcup padding.
