Original Meizu EP51 Bluetooth HiFi Sports Earbuds

VERY loud sound, excellent sound quality, with an emphasis on bass, with a slight deficiency in the treble, nothing very noticeable to most users, occasionally caused by the position of the speakers inside the protective rubber. However, considering the price and being intra-auricular, you can not demand more quality than this (The review of the channel Running on Air is well-suited to the quality of the product).

The sound stage is good too, but I could not test in games.

The handset is very comfortable, however the wire sometimes bothers, but nothing too annoying. And the cable could be Flat type, to pass a little more confidence, is not the case. As durability can only be tested over time, it is not possible to conclude whether it is good.

The delay between audio and video exists, however it is minimal and is not even noticeable if you are not "searching" for this delay.

The quality of the microphone is good, it meets the basic needs.

I could not fully test the battery, but it did not let me on hand for a daily use for about 3 hours, charging every other day.

Since the quality of the bluetooth connection seems to vary according to the lot, I tried another and the connection had slight interruptions, being necessary to change the smartphone pocket, different from what I bought. There is also a battery icon, but it varies depending on the smartphone, unfortunately my old man did not appear (or I did not know to make appear).

Bonus: inside the rubber tree has the identification of the side;)

Note: The delay in delivery was the responsibility of the Correios.

I bought this earphone mainly because I was curious about the quality of it. I am running regularly and now I am using a professional sport earphone (you can see it on the pictures) a Jam Transit micro sport. I had the chance to compare it and decide if Meizu would be better for running, or it is better for everyday use.
Sound quality: first use I felt that the bass is very weak, but after I chanced the earplug for a convenient size, it seemed better. However compared with the jam transit, it has lass bass, and for me bass is very important during running.
The control functions almost same as I used to with the jam, the only difference that put together the earpieces using the magnets turns off the transit, but not the Meizu.
Which is better with the meizu is that when it is connected to my phone I can see the battery level. Using the jam, I don't see it, which would be very useful.
The loudness is the same.
The wire quality is reasonable of the meizu, but for running I must say it is not the best choice. It can move around your neck easily. Jam created a more rigid wire, and which is very useful for the runners that it covered with a reflective material, so you can be easily seen in the dark. The other good thing is the wire holder, which allows you to set the optimal wire lenght, and the holder keeps the wire still during running.
The sum is that for this price Meizu has a really good product, but I think is more ideal for everyday use.

Suggestion

The bass is less than I expected even if I set the equalizer to max.

Meizu is truly one of my all time favorite companies out of China, in fact, I bought their 2012 flagship phone the Meizu MX, that at the time was the fastest phone on the world market!
Now after short searching for a good BT headphones to use for calls and some music, I stumbled upon the EP-51 and I decided to grab them and I am glad that I did. So far these headphones are absolutely great, for any kind of use, you can run with them, you can go to the gym, use them in the office and so on, the quality is great and the battery life is long, the provided accessories are also outstanding. I will do a full review for these very soon, but for now that is a quick unboxing and overview.

The earbuds arrived in just 2 weeks. The packaging is AMAZING, it make you feel like you've paid much more than 25$. The earbuds themselves feel really well built and light at the same time and they give an excellent sound quality both in bass and in mid/high tones. They fit well in my ears with the default silicon pads and stay in even when walking or running. Although they have good sound insulation, they don't completely mute the outside environment sounds which is really nice. Haven't tried them for long enough to judge the battery life but if the specifications are correct, it should be good. The Bluetooth signal is strong, it works uninterrupted in a 12-15 meter distance even through a thick brick wall. Additionally the time of pairing with the phone is literally less than a couple of seconds using my Android device. You just keep the power button pressed and as soon as the earbuds turn on they pair. Also the microphone is decent enough to make calls without having to hold it next to your mouth. Overall i think Meizu delivered a great value piece of earbuds which can compete with much more expensive products on the market.

Suggestion

The only downside (for me) is that the power and volume buttons are a little stiff (compared to my brother's iPhone earbuds i was using) but it's something i can get used to.
