Search & Compare the best sellers:

So while I searched for the best seller over ear headphones on Amazon with Sound volume controls on the disc I found best seller Mpow 059 … incidentally there is new model by Sound Intone named P6 which is lower in price and does have controls over disc as well as added facility of playing Micro-SD card or TF card ! and bonus is that this P6 also have a FM radio receiver in it .. wow .. just wow …

Shortlisted the Best & Compared with NEW low priced more feature model:

So here I will be comparing these two first Mpow 059 which is best seller (under $40) and second is  Sound Intone P6.

Mpow 059 vs Sound Intone P6 Headphones

Let’s begin with common features which both Mpow 059 vs Sound Intone P6 Wireless Headphones have:

• Compact & Portable : For Travel purpose

  Yes, both the headphones are having foldable type design, ofcourse you just can’t fold and put them in your pocket, however its easy to get inside backpack during travel and trekking

• Build and Weight goes together:

  Mpow 059 has The stainless steel slider as against Sound Intone P6 are made from Zinc alloy casting providing light weight, sturdy & corrosion free design.

• Ergonomic Design: Comfortable to wear and hours of listening comfort 

  Both headphones provide Inner earmuffs have protein leather and memory foam, which means they are designed to provide comfort for prolonged use. (Suggestion : after using for couple of hours, remove the headphones for 10 minutes to release pressure build over ears)Here I think both the headsets are made well .. having flexing, foldable and stretchable design, allows for different head and ear sizes … which means even a kid can use them alongwith Adults .. only WARNING here is that for kids these headphones do not have limiting dB levels (which is normally a feature for kid headphones) so be careful on MAX volume if you are going to give it to your kid.
  I have tested Sound Intone P6 for wearing comfort and found that after couple of hours of use also its fine and I faced no issues of comfort levels …

• Color Choices:

  Mpow provides 6 color options namely Black-Gray, Black-Red, Black-Blue, Black-Green, Black & Silver
  Sound Intone provides 3 color options namely Black-Blue, Black-Gold, Black
  Specially the Gold one provides rich feeling .. looks super to me … although its your personal choice for colors

• HandsFREE : Receiving call during listening Music

  Both headphones feature built-in microphone, I have not tested Mpower 059 so can’t comment on the call quaility.
  However I have tested Sound Intone P6 and can vouch for high quality sound during calls .. no issues at all.
  Also the inline remote makes it easy to operate / take calls … you can also play or pause music …

• Acoustic features for headphones

  Both feature 40 mm drivers and almost can deliver the same dB
  Both have Passive noise cancellation means they depend upon the quality of ear isolation using over ear design ..
  I have tested the Sound Intone P6 and it does provides noise isolation due to its design.

• Sound Quality:

  I have only tested Intone P6 and found well balance of Bass and delivers crispy sound .. I am happy with that .. not sure about the mpow though since not tested

• Whats better in  Mpow 059 over Sound Intone P6
