These new sets are still going strong with no issues, minus one very small annoyance. The sets continue to vocalize “power on” and “power off” when you power them on or off manually, just as the old sets did. However, these new sets will occasionally power themselves off without informing you of that. If it’s been 10 minutes since I listened to something, I’ll hit play only to find the set turned itself off, despite having a full battery and maintaining an active Bluetooth connection.

What makes it a nuisance is that the audio will play off the speaker on the phone for the whole room to hear, which can be awkward if you’re listening to something in an environment where you’re not supposed to be listening to something! The old sets would remain connected for hours, as long as the Bluetooth stayed paired. What’s odd is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when, how, or why it powers off because sometimes it doesn’t and other times it does. I’m now just more proactive at checking to make sure the set is still paired before I hit play again. If it’s not, I just manually hit one button to power them back on and I’m good to go. Enough of an annoyance to change my rating? Absolutely not, Mipeace continues reigns supreme!

I also love the usb-c charging because they’re so much faster than the old usb. Out of the two new sets I own, I haven’t experienced any of the issues I’d experienced with the earlier versions
