After the quarantine and strong of the summer season, they have certainly become protagonists. We are talking about headphones and earphones for sportsmen. Today on test the MIFA X12, which are certainly optimized for running, due to their shape and the presence of a silicone arch that wraps them to the auricle and prevents them from falling during physical activity. Here's what we think of these low cost headphones, for sale on Amazon for 19.99 euros using the coupon XX12MIFA .
Let's start with unboxing, which does not reserve any particular surprises. In addition to the earphones, there is, in fact, the charging case, charging cable and two replacement silicone rubber pads, in addition to the manual. Apparently these MIFA X12 do not present themselves as designer earphones, nor as discrete and minimal peripherals.
They are in fact quite showy, just as the charging case is equally striking, which is certainly among the least pocket-sized seen in the panorama. The charging case is bulkier than many other competitors, especially thicker, as well as the earbuds themselves don't do much to go unnoticed.
How to wear them
Fortunately, the initial impression of a bit 'too heavy' from an aesthetic point of view disappeared after wearing them. They are really comfortable, and absolutely stable. They enter and stay in place with above-average ease. even the silicone rubber pads that come into contact with the ear are absolutely comfortable and you hardly feel you are wearing them. The in-ear capacity is absolutely discreet, while the silicone headband surrounding the ear reminds us, of course, that we have headphones.
The materials, even the plastic ones, are all in all good, in line with the price of these headphones, which amounts to 39.99 euros.
Technical features
As for the technical characteristics, on the MIFA X12 card they offer support for AAC decoding and HD lossless rendering technology. They pair with the smartphone via Bluetooth V5.0, which works really well in this case. It is sufficient to remove the earphones from the case to be immediately ready to subscribe, as well as after disconnecting them, the headphones are immediately available for a new pairing with another device.
Other features include CVC 8.0 noise reduction, support for Siri and the Google Assistant, thanks to the virtual soft touch button on the outside of the two pavilions. A simple touch allows, in fact, to start or stop music playback, while a double touch will be used to adjust the volume. Finally, by holding the pressure for two seconds, you will be able to attract the attention of the voice assistant.
How they sound
If the aesthetics might disappoint and the comfort turn out to be very good, the sound quality is in the middle. These are really cheap earphones, and from which you certainly can't expect the best. Overall they don't sound bad, but they certainly don't stand out. In general the sound is a bit cold, and even the bass, which, although they can be heard, do not pump properly, always being a bit shy. The sound therefore tends to be not too deep and precise, and the voice will always have the best, compared to the background instrumentation.
It is also necessary to reflect on the fact that these are headphones purely useful for sportsmen, who therefore prefer maximum comfort and stability during physical activity, rather than headphones of top quality. In general, however, it is possible to listen to any kind of music sufficiently, as well as the viewing of multimedia contents.
With headphones on, the degree of isolation is good, not total, but very high. The volume of the earphones is also high, certainly an important element for those who practice outdoor activities, who therefore do not want to hear surrounding noise. As already mentioned, the headphones stand out for the comfort with which they are worn, despite their aesthetic “heaviness”. The sound quality is sufficient, without praise, and without infamy.
They surprised us positively, however, during telephone conversations. In this case, that audio tending to cold does not bother, on the contrary it enhances the voice of the interlocutor, which therefore is always received with the utmost precision.
Autonomy
The earphones offer around 30 hours of use, considering they can be fully charged around 6 times thanks to the integrated case. This is a good autonomy, which will largely cover entire days of use, making it also suitable for commuters.

Conclusions
MIFA X12 are the perfect earphones for those who want to use them mainly during jogging sessions. Comfortable to the ear, and firmly attached, they are easy to put on because they fit the ear immediately and without difficulty. The audio quality is only sufficient, but still good considering the price range of the earphones.
