B
Bass & Sub Bass
MPOW X3 does not have the typical over-boosted bass sound that most commercial earphones provide.
Instead, this TWS offers a type of bass that is usually seen on earphones aimed for more demanding listeners and/or audio enthusiasts.
This means that the MPOW X3 exhibits a tighter bass than many other TWS while still being able to sound full and decently punchy but without turning into a boomy mess.
It is fair to highlight that MPOW fans wanting a bass-intense model should look at other offerings from the brand such as the MDOTS, instead of this X3 model.

M
Mids & Vocals
The lower midrange and male vocals tend to sound laid back but not necessarily disturbed by mid-bass bleed nor excessive congestion.
On the other hand, the upper end of the midrange offers a very crisp and much more forward sound.
Consequently, female vocals and instrument notes sitting in these ranges will show a way more emphasized sound.
On the other hand, these higher mids empowerment can make them recurrently harsh.
Overall, the MPOW X3 would had been a much better performed if it did not suffer from such a frequent harshness.
5/10
H
Highs & Treble
The same kind of “uneven” tuning is seen on the highs and treble ranges, due to a extending upper mids/lower highs forward sound and a rolled-off upper highs/treble.
This unbalanced distribution is, unfortunately, carrying on many cons such as lack of detail yet hot peaks including some sibilance and piercing highs.
It is a pity seeing the MPOW did not apply the best tuning for the X3 as, despite the issues, this TWS showed some audio ranges with decent initial response.

SI
Sound Isolation
The passive isolation of the MPOW X3 is more or less inline with most average headphones but the X3 is equipped with ANC to further enhance it’s cancelling and isolating potential.
The brand rates this model as earphone capable of reaching -28dB of noise cancellation but our tests showed a few peaks of -20dB at most and an average of -15dB to -12dB.
