Verdict

The Portronics Muffs M2 is an over-ear wireless headphone featuring 40mm dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and a 400mAh battery that delivers up to 40 hours of playback. Main characteristics include dual-mode functionality with a 3.5mm AUX port for wired use, Type-C fast charging that provides 10 hours of playtime in just 10 minutes, and a foldable design with plush memory foam earcups for portability and comfort. Its primary pros are the long-lasting battery life, powerful bass-heavy sound profile, and lightweight 150g build. However, some users have noted cons such as mediocre microphone quality for calls, potential audio latency during gaming, and a tight fit that may feel compressed during extended use.
