Design and features:The earphones work with or without the noise canceling feature being turned on. You can use the noise-canceling feature without listening to music. The MW07 PLUS has integrated microphones as well as music player and call connect/disconnect controls that work with paired Bluetooth devices, and controls to switch between noise canceling and ambient sound monitoring. Additional features include sensors that pauses the audio when at least one earphone is taken out of an ear and resumes it when both are put back in, a right earpiece can be used alone for one ear monitoring of Bluetooth streamed audio and telephone communications, and support for digital voice assistants (types unspecified) when used with Bluetooth devices that have those capabilities. This model is claimed by the manufacturer to be water resistant, and comes with five pairs of ear pieces in various sizes, three pairs of ear bowl supports in various sizes, a USB charging cable, a charging cable adapter, a charging cradle/recharger battery/carrying case that the manufacturer claims can be used to recharge the earphone batteries up to 3 times between its own charges, and a carrying pouch.
Sound quality: We found the MW07 PLUS provides Excellent active noise reduction and delivers sound quality that falls in the Very Good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks. With or without the noise reduction feature turned on the overall sound can be summarized as fairly even but sterile. Bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact, goes deep, but is slightly prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but is slightly hazy and grainy, a touch etched (a bit more sharply outlined then it should be), and has a "bland" character. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but a touch smeared (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer sound blurred), and a bit prominent. This model does a decent job of recovering the room ambience of a recording (the sense of the acoustic space in which the audio program that's being listened to was recorded). While the sound has a good sense of liveliness, it is somewhat closed (sound-wise it's fairly obvious you have something plugging your ears). These earphones provide Excellent noise reduction across the entire frequency range with the low frequencies reduced the most. When the noise canceling feature is used no background hiss or other noise is audible when there is no program material present to mask it.
Comfort: As typical of in-ear models they produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening might be uncomfortable for some. Users with small ear bowls might find that the earphone body does not fit completely in their earbowl and that the earphones are mostly held in place by the section of the earphone that is inserted in the ear canal; even so, they stay in place with no problems for casual use and are fairly stable even during vigorous head movement. Users with medium and large sized ear bowls will probably find that this model stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are very stable even during vigorous head movement.
