We must pay tribute, the new wireless headphones look very stylish. Boway Mu6 are available in black graphite and brown metal colors. The diameter of each ear is 40 mm.

We were especially surprised by the box of Xiaomi Boway Mu6. The box is much larger than most other wireless headphones. Opening the box, we understood the reason – a magnetic headphone holder.

Of course, the headphone holder is not the only feature of Xiaomi Boway Mu6. We’ll talk about other features later. The stand is made in the same color as the wireless headphones themselves.

As for the appearance, headphones have a fairly typical design – large ears with a soft pillow on the inside. Pillows have a memory effect. In other words, they remember the shape of your head and ears. With a weight of only 350 grams, there is no pressure or gravity.

Now let’s talk about the main features, and start with noise cancellation. As we already said, on the left ear of Boway Mu6 there is a special button that turns on the noise reduction system. This technology allows you to isolate yourself from car noise, voices or other noise.

Noise cancellation is the perfect way to get rid of public transport and city noise.

Xiaomi Boway Mu6 wireless headphones have different sensors. For example, if you want to stop the music, simply remove the headphones from your head. There are small proximity sensors on the inside of the headphones.

However, we discovered a small disadvantage of this function. Sometimes, when headphones are hung on the neck, the proximity sensor misunderstands the position and can play music. As for me, this is not a big problem, since this feature can be turned off through the app on smartphone.

Another interesting feature is the volume control. If you need to turn down the volume of music, for example, in order to talk to a friend you met on a street, it is enough to put your hand on the left earpiece. You will hear the interlocutor’s voice even if we have the noise canceling function turned on.

Headphones have a special application for smartphones. It allows to customize the sound, depending on the genre of music that you are listening to, as well as use additional functions.

By the way, you can charge the headphones not only through the USB Type-C port, but also using the magnetic holder.

At the top of the holder is a small magnetic interface for charging. You just place the headphones on the holder, and charging will automatically start. Very handy feature, do you agree?
