Mixx Streambuds Ultra Mini true wireless earbuds review

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen and tested countless devices, from the classic Casio watches of my childhood to the latest wireless earbuds on the market. The Mixx Streambuds Ultra Mini true wireless earbuds are no exception, and while they have their perks, they don’t quite make it to my favorites list.


Among the standout aspects of Mixx Streambuds Ultra Mini true wireless earbuds lies their compact charging case, a feature I’ve appreciated in other earbuds like the Canyon Doublebee, which I reviewed last year. This case conveniently displays battery life, but sometimes, this design element can unintentionally make the product appear less expensive than its actual value. Perhaps it’s a lingering memory of the budget-friendly aesthetic of my childhood Casio watch.

Regardless, it’s a handy feature, and one that means you’ll rarely, if ever, run out of charge while out and about. And even if wasn’t there, the second best feature would have your back: the Mixx Streambuds boast an impressive battery life from full charge, with 6 hours in the buds themselves and a promised 24 in the case. I used them for about 20 hours all-told without recharging anything, so your mileage might vary.

It’s light, thin silver plastic (they also come in black and white and I’d recommend the black) with the logo printed on the face. They feel light and loose, and it’s a sad fact that within a week or so of use the case started to feel a little less secure. But then, I did use them a fair bit in that time.

The sound on these headphones is satisfactory, but they lack advanced features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or built-in Equalizer (EQ), unless you use the accompanying app on your phone or device. In comparison to my preferred choice, the 1More Aero, which are in a similar price range, they fall short in terms of performance. They don’t match up when it comes to Bluetooth range, battery life, or additional features. Moreover, there’s no automatic wear detection, so taking them off won’t pause your music – a feature I’ve grown accustomed to in modern wireless earbuds.

It’s worth noting that there’s an accompanying application available, enabling you to adjust the equalizer settings and save personalized presets, providing a certain level of customization. While this app may not be the most extensive solution out there, it should serve your purposes quite well.

The Mixx Streambuds, marketed as an affordable choice, don’t seem to justify their £60 price tag due to occasional muffled sound and intermittent connection issues. These problems were particularly noticeable during app usage, which might suggest a correlation. However, call quality was satisfactory, and they are comfortable enough for extended wear.

If you’re on a tight budget and looking for earbuds, consider alternative options like the Canyon Doublebee. These cost less than half of what you might spend, yet they deliver comparable performance – even including battery indicators. However, if battery life is your main concern, then the Streambuds would be more suitable for you due to their extended battery life.
