B

Bass & Sub Bass

Right out of the box the MEIZU POP2 / Meizu TW50s show a very punchy and full sound. Their bass tends to be more punchy than deep but it is still not a shallow-sounding earphone.

Sub-bass can reach sufficient depth as to cover most music genres without much shortage and as to remain acceptably not bloated.

Nonetheless, this should be considered by listeners who will be mainly listening to electronic, trance and EDM genres.

With an EQ, their bass personality can be pushed into a much deeper and punchier sound but also a more boomy one.

Mids & Vocals

The MEIZU TW50s / POP 2 have very warm mids with some bleed invading their lower midrange.

On the other hand, their male vocals will benefit from sounding relaxed but not excessively distant.

In addition to this, higher mids are cleaner than their lower mids which makes them crisp, with clear female vocals, yet it does not show frequent harsh peaks.

Listeners should expect a smooth sound with a warm tuning layer.

Using an EQ, their male vocals can be cleared up and any harsh peaks exterminated.

Highs & Treble

The MEIZU POP2 / Meizu TW50s have pleasant highs with a non-fatiguing tuning that sounds acceptably balanced without becoming too dark.

For an earphone with a smooth and less forward highs personality, they resolve quite a good amount of detail.

The peaks of the POP2 do not nearly show any piercing nor sibilant spikes, which will be good news for treble sensitive listeners.

An EQ can reveal plenty detail and a much more spicier, brighter and open sound without drastic empowering of their fatiguing peaks.

If you want to see a direct comparison of the POP2 with the POP 1st gen, keep an eye on our Headphones Comparisons section as the comparison will soon be published has been published.

Sound Leak

The sound leaking out of the MEIZU POP 2 is somewhat lower than on most average earphones.

This does not make it a totally silent TWS but neither one that could present any issues while using it during daily commuting.

Sound Isolation

The sound isolation provided by the MEIZU POP2 / Meizu TW50s is fairly stronger than many normal earphones, allowing them to offer immediate partial isolation.

Moreover, users willing to crank up the volume significantly will be welcomed by an almost-absolute isolation from the environment.

Comfort

The MEIZU POP2 / Meizu TW50s has inherited all the design characteristics of the MEIZU POP 1st generation – and this are wonderful news.

The POP 2 will please listeners with pain-free comfort and endless music listening sessions before feeling any type of fatigue.

This excellent level of comfort is mainly thanks to their very rounded form factor with smooth edges and a well-researched angle and size of their nozzles.
