Eaphones Under Rs 500 : Mi Earphones Basic Review | Mi Earphones Basic with Mic [In Depth Review 2019]

No comments
This post is about my review of the 'Mi Earphones Basic with Mic' . This post  includes : Mi Earphones Basic price, my view on the Mi Earphones Basic, the features, and various other aspects of the earphones and also a short  Mi basic earphones vs boAt BassHeads 100  comparison at the end .


Well, as of 2019, Mi has become the Patanjali of electronic products. Almost every middle class or upper middle class family has some or the other Mi product (unless you are like really really rich). Don't get me wrong, I am in no way saying that Mi makes bad products(or that Patanjali makes bad products). I'm just talking about the the company's reach in the Indian electronic products industry. Be it TV's, mobile phones or a wide range of other products. Well so I today I decided to write my review about these pair of Mi earphones which Mi calls 'Mi Earphones Basic'. I have two pairs of these at home so I had to pick up one to write a post on it. I personally use a boAt BassHeads 100 earphones which I'm satisfied with.If you haven't read my review of the boat BassHeads 100 earphones, you can read it here :  boAt BassHeads 100 Review . So this review will also include a few comparisons with the boAt earphones. So without wasting much time lets head to the review!

THE WARRANTY :

THE PRODUCT COMES WITH 6 MONTHS WARRANTY 
THE PRICE : 
The price of this product is ₹399 on Amazon.in

THE PACKAGING : WHAT'S INSIDE ?
The product comes packed in a nice rectangular box. Inside the box, the earphones are placed in a transparent plastic tray. The quality of packaging is really great.The earphones and the microphone  have dedicated slots where they are pushed in and placed neatly. I'm really impressed with the packing.

Other than that the box contains 2 pairs of Extra Earbuds of different sizes (and shapes). Most people will find a comfortable fit by changing the earbuds if needed. The earbuds come in a sealed pouch unlike a zip lock pouch, like the boAt bassheads 100, so once opened, you need to store them carefully.

ACTUAL PACKAGING IS NEATER. THIS IS JUST TO GIVE YOU A BASIC IDEA
THE BOX




THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS :The specifications of the product are as follows:
  • DRIVER SIZE : 10 mm
  • RATED POWER : 5 mW
  • CABLE LENGTH : 125 cm
  • FREQUENCY RANGE : 20~20000 Hz
  • IMPEDENCE : 32 Ω
  • PLUG PIN : 3.5 mm
THE DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY :
Speaking about the design, the earphones have sort of a roundish design.It's a pretty basic design, not the best looking, but not bad either. Once you wear it, you wont notice it much so it doesn't matter.

The sound chamber is made of aluminium and it adds a little more premium feel to the product. The build quality feels solid due to the aluminium used. Things a put together tightly.
The cable is 125 cm long. Tangling of the cables is not really an issue with these earphones. I haven't used the earphones for a long time, so I don't have an idea of how long the insulation on the cables will last, but they do seem to be of decent quality.
It has an "L" shaped connector/jack.

The microphone is placed close to your mouth and that's a nice thing. It's placed on the right hand side wire. It's a very light unit hence it won't result in the earphones popping out of your right ear 
(like in Samsung earphones). The button on the microphone is a long rectangular one according me, feels. slim. I would have preferred a big round button instead.Sleeping on your sides with the earphones on wouldn't be an issue with a few adjustments. 
The overall design gets a good 8.5/10


IT HAS A FLOWER POT
SHAPE TO IT. NOT A BAD DESIGN
ACTUALLY.

THE COMFORT AND ERGONOMICS :
These earphones are really comfortable and won't cause any discomfort to your ears while you . In wear them. In case you need more adjustments to the fit, then you can use the extra earbuds that come along with the product. These earphones have no sharp edges. Comfort wise it gets a 9/10.

THE PERFORMANCE :
The audio quality is pretty decent for a product in this price range and you will have no complaints on that front. Bass wise, comparing it with the boAt Bassheads 100, I felt that these earphones have a better bass. Both are in the same price range. The bass isn't super hard hitting but it's nice and punchy and deep and won't disappoint you at all. Other than that, the overall sound quality is great and delivers a good listening experience. 

Noise cancellation too is excellent. During my commute in some noisy buses, I've used these earphones( noisy buses are where I actually test noise cancellation of any earphone) and they did a great job of controlling the outside noise and I could enjoy the music nice and clearly without any interruptions. At home though, be careful as hearing other people calling you, can be difficult if the volume is too high.

Audio quality during calls is great and there is no distortion of any sort. The mic being place close to your mouth helps a lot and is a feature that I really love this feature.


ADDITIONAL HELPFUL INFORMATION :

  • The button on the microphone can be used to pause/play music.
  • To receive calls, press the microphone button once and long press it to decline calls.
  • During calls, press the microphone button once to disable the mic and and long press to cut the call.

Before I end he review, let me point out some quick differences between these earphones and the boAt BassHeads 100. The overall audio quality is the same, except for the Mi Earphones Basic has slightly better bass, has an aluminum body, has an 'L' shaped connector and 6 months warranty, whereas the boAt BassHeads 100 has great but slightly lesser bass than the Mi Earphones Basic, has a plastic body, has a straight connector and comes with 1 year warranty. Both earphones are in the same price range
