MEIZU EP52 Magnetic Neckband Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Really enjoyed the sound, comfort and battery (while it worked). One day the right earphone started playing at just 1/3 loudness of the left piece - no physical damage was done. They are still usable in a way, but bring no joy to me. Tried charging, restarting, playing different music - no luck. I really enjoyed using them in gym and everywhere else while they lasted, so now ordering one more pair to see how they behave.
The sound is quite balanced (no downgrade when comparing to wired Xiaomi Hybrids I used before) has good base and decent mids/highs, they provide arround 8h of declared playtime, are closed enough to use in daily commute without hearing old lady in a bus and successfully ignoring cool teens with boombox in a bag. They fit nicely and have a good set of interchangeable bells and whistles for an ear of about any animal. They sit comfortably on your neck and in your ears during any sports I tried. I love the rubber ring that makes sure it doesn't fall from your ear. I wonder why they are not using usb-c for charging. USB micro is kind of old-school already. I thought the charging port cover would tear off and be lost but that's not the case.

Pros:
Sound
Battery (ok)
Comfort
Build quality

Cons:
Reliability (maybe it's just me)
Micro USB

Очень легкие, то есть не ощущаются как блютус гарнитура, а будто обычные проводные наушники.
Приятный сбалансированный звук на уровне проводных наушников в цене 20-25 долларов.
Умное решение с "нашейным" формфактором. Наушники не спутываются из-за магнитов и не спадают во время прогулок и занятий спортом.
Отличное качество сборки, подгонки деталей и приятный комплект амбушюр.
Хорошее оформление коробки, сделано качественно и презентабельно. С заводской плёнкой на коробке (в моём случае, не знаю как у остальных), поэтому можно смело брать в качестве подарка.
Быстро коннектяться и хорошо держат связь. Через две бетонных стены пробивают)
Есть приятная мелочь в виде чехла.

Suggestion

Но чехол силиконовый, поэтому влезают и влезают наушники в него не очень. Плюс он собирает всю шерсть и легко запыливается и это единственный минус)

It is very comfortable neckband earphone by Meizu.
It does not slip out from my neck and also the earphone dont come out from ears while running or working out.
Pairing is very simple and fast, does reconnect quickly if you go out of Bluetooth range.
I am writing this review after a day of usage. I charged it until it was full and used it for whole day, kept on playing music and it really worked for 9hr.
I am yet to try it out on my laptop and use it both on my phone and laptop at the same, dont know whether it will work or not.
Now the most important part of a headphone is its sound quality, guys I am not an Audiophile so would not tell you that highs lows mids blah blah blah... In a layman's language, if you buy it you will love it, bass is really great though.
I am satisfied with this purchase and would recommend this product to everyone.

This is really good bluetooth headset.
Good build quality, bail is flexible and comfortably lays on your neck, earbuds fit into ears without any pain for longer time. Earbuds are magnetic, so putting them together is easy and stops music. Only charging (opening the micro-usb slot) is a little bit difficult. In the package you receive charging cable, ends in three different sizes and bag with magnetic close. Even the package box looks as a premium one.
Sound (especially bass) is awesome as for the price range, battery lasts for c.a. 9 hours. No issues with bluetooth connection.
Summary - one of the best (or best one) you can buy for the price.

Hi, I had bought this pair of earphones 2 weeks ago, the shipment was pretty fast, and I don’t have problem with it.
The problem is that the manual says that the charging time is 2 hours and when it has finished the red led turns off, I put them to charge and after exactly 26 seconds the led turns off and I suppose that they are fully charged but once I connect them to my phone 5 mins later the headphones “assistant” says that battery is low and after that the headphones turn off, I’m not Shure if that it’s factory problem or carrying problem but that’s so disappointing.
And second the box came damaged inside and in the corners

- Отличное качество изготовления
- Эргономика продумана до мелочей (удобное управление, посадка, комфорт в процессе носки)
они гораздо удобнее предыдущей модели EP51
- Внешний вид - наушники выглядят дорого
- Поддержка aptx
- Звук стал для меня открытием - эти беспроводные наушники звучат лучше, чем некоторые их проводные конкуренты за ту же стоимость
Звучание темное с отличным быстрым басом и это без активации aptx ))

Suggestion

- Эти наушники не подойдут любителям светлого, инструментального, излишне детализированного звука, тут упор делается на бас. Аудиофилам стоит поискать, что то другое.
- Шумоизоляция на тройку, уличный шум отчётливо слышен, но это спортивные наушники и плохая шумка сделана намеренно для безопасности.

I gave four stars because overall what this item offers is good and satisfactory.
I liked the price, the unboxing experience, and the sound of this headset.
What I disliked is that I wish microphone was batter and wire could be shorter. Also, the charging time is slow.

Advantages compared to other headsets:
- Lightweight.
-Good Sound.
-High-Quality materials.

Disadvantages:
-No fast charging.
-The wire is a bit long.

Overall, I'd recommend this product to my colleagues and friends!
