Wireless in-ear headphones with built-in microphone have become widespread worldwide since the Apple Airpods at the latest and offer a multitude of advantages:
1. Freedom of Movement: Without annoying cables, users can move freely without getting caught or having to constantly untangle them.
2. Wearing Comfort: Especially comfortable to wear, with ergonomic fit and low weight.
3. Versatility: Wireless in-ear headphones with microphone can be used for calls and voice commands, aside from playing music.
4. Mobility: The small and compact headphones are easy to store and transport.
5. Pairing: Most wireless headphones are quickly and easily paired with Bluetooth devices and connect automatically after being turned on.
6. Stylish Design: The wireless technology enables a sleek and elegant design.
Of course, one can benefit from all these advantages during sports activities. However, this is only if the in-ear headphones are sweat and water-resistant on one hand, and on the other hand, do not slip out of the ears during forest runs or rugged MTB downhills.
For this reason, the MiiBUDS Action II tested by us, from the Danish audio specialist MIIEGO, are water-resistant according to the IPX6 standard and have been equipped with an ergonomically shaped securing loop that keeps the in-ear headphones in place during sports activities such as cycling, running, or fitness exercises.
Enjoyment of music and communication without the restriction of annoying cables.
MiiBuds Action IITechnology, Comfort & Sound
The MiiBUDS Action II are wireless in-ear headphones with securing loops. They offer a good fit, stay reliably in the ears, and allow you to enjoy your favorite music or other audio content during workouts without constantly having to adjust the headphones, let alone risk losing them.
MiiBUDS Action II are water-resistant according to the IPX6 standard, which protects them from rain and sweat, have a powerful battery for about six hours of playtime, and connect continuously without connection dropouts via Bluetooth 5.0.
After the workout, the in-ears are stored in a Transport Case that is slightly larger than usual, which has a 1,800-mAh battery and an integrated USB charging cable on the bottom. It not only automatically charges the in-ears but also serves as an external power bank for other devices such as mobile phones or smartwatches (via USB-A and USB-C ports). According to the manufacturer, the MiiBUDS can be fully charged up to 14 times in the Transport Case with one battery charge before the Transport Case needs to be recharged.
The MiiBUDS ACTION II come with pre-mounted high-quality COMPLY ear tips ("Made in USA") made of soft foam, which gently seal the ear canal and provide high comfort - even over extended periods. Moreover, the COMPLY ear tips largely block out external noise. With the three additional pairs of silicone ear tips (S, M & L), an optimal fit should be possible for nearly every user.
The sound quality of the MiiBUDS ACTION II impresses from the start with its balanced and powerful performance, although there is no option for individual EQ fine-tuning via an app. The sound presents itself out-of-the-box with a convincing frequency profile, accompanied by a clearly defined bass. Even at higher volumes, the bass remains controlled and prevents any unpleasant booming. The mids are so finely tuned that even subtle nuances in the sound are clearly perceptible, while the high frequency range delivers a harmonious overall picture.

In practice while cycling
Die MIIEGO MiiBUDS Action II In-Ear-Kopfhörer bieten gleich einen doppelt sicheren Halt, ohne zu drücken: Einerseits erhöhen die mitgelieferten COMPLY-Stöpsel die passive Geräuschdämmung und tragen zu einem stabilen Sitz in der Ohrmuschel bei, andererseits sorgt das gummierte Material der ergonomisch geschwungenen, elastischen Bügel für zusätzlichen Grip, der Verrutschen verhindert und die Kopfhörer in Position hält.
In meinem Beispiel ergab sich mit den Helm-Straps und der Radbrille auch kein Platzproblem - je nach Brillenmodell könnte es aber möglicherweise zu einer Bügelkollision kommen. Das sollte man definitiv ausprobieren und sich eventuell für eine Radbrille mit möglichst geradem Bügel entscheiden.
Ein Detail am Rande: Wegen meiner extrem schmalen Gehörgänge konnte ich bisher noch nie In-Ear-Kopfhörer tragen - weder beim Sport, noch bei weniger ruckartigen Freizeitbewegungen. Die MiiBUDS Action II vermochten mich allerdings in puncto Stabilität und Komfort wirklich zu überzeugen; selbst bei längeren, schweißtreibenden Ausfahrten waren sie kaum spürbar.
Important Notes: "Cycling with Headphones in Austria."
In Austria, there is no legal regulation that explicitly prohibits listening to music through headphones while cycling, but from the perspective of road safety, it is generally discouraged. Hearing ambient sounds is important to perceive potential dangers such as passing vehicles, honking, or other cyclists or pedestrians. Therefore, it is advisable to always keep the volume at a reasonable level.
Furthermore, the traffic regulations (StVO) state that a vehicle may only be operated by a person who is in such a physical and mental condition that they can control the vehicle and comply with the legal regulations to be observed while operating a vehicle. If one listens to music through headphones so loudly that they can no longer hear their surroundings, or if their perception is impaired, the required condition is no longer present and penalties may be imposed. In the event of an accident, partial fault may also be attributed.
Conclusion
Sure, here is the translated text:```
MiiBUDS Action II | |
---|---|
Model Year: | 2021 |
Review Duration: | 2 Months |
Price: | € 119,- MSRP |
+ | Good fit, high comfort |
+ | Rich sound |
+ | IPX6 |
+ | Battery endurance |
+ | Power bank |
o | Large storage box |
o | Microphone quality |
- | No active noise cancellation |
BB-Verdict: | Secure fit without pressure sensation, but with powerful sound. |
The design of the MIIEGO MiiBUDS ACTION II is somewhat larger than that of conventional in-ears, but in the middle there is a well-placed button that is intuitive to reach and has a noticeable pressure point. With a clear click, songs can be skipped, the volume changed, or phone calls handled. The voice clarity of the built-in hands-free microphones is sufficient for everyday use, but leaves something to be desired under difficult wind conditions.
Six hours of operation without recharging is a statement, as is the powerful transport box with charging and power bank function. The only downside remains its cigarette box size - but the in-ears can be fully charged up to 14 times with one battery charge.
User-friendly: When removed from the box, the headphones activate automatically and pair with the device in record time. Also, only one earbud can be used on its own, there is neither master nor slave.
The sound is excellent for the price range: balanced in the middle, good for YouTube videos or podcasts, but also rich in the lows and finely differentiated in the highs. Of course, there are other, more expensive models with even more power and active noise cancellation, but as outdoor sports headphones, the MIIEGO MiiBUDS ACTION II more than serve their purpose.
