Introduction

The BASEUS Bowie M2s (NGTW350101) wireless earbuds promise a premium audio experience with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, and a claimed 30-hour playtime. After spending several weeks with these earbuds, putting them through rigorous testing in various environments, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review.

Features

The Bowie M2s boast a compelling feature set. Beyond the headline-grabbing ANC and extended battery life, you get a comfortable in-ear design, customizable noise cancellation levels (up to 10 stages!), and a surprisingly good-sounding dual-microphone system for crystal-clear calls. The Bluetooth 5.3 connection is rock-solid, with minimal dropouts, even in congested areas. The accompanying app provides further control over the equalization settings and noise cancellation profiles. The fast pairing process and intuitive controls are also noteworthy.

Performance

Sound quality is excellent, offering a balanced profile with a good emphasis on the mids and highs. The bass is present but not overpowering. The ANC effectively reduces low-frequency noise like airplane engine hum and city traffic rumble. Higher frequency noises, such as voices, are less effectively muted, but overall the noise cancellation is effective for most scenarios. Call quality is also impressive; my voice came through clearly even in noisy environments, thanks to the effective noise reduction. Battery life surpassed expectations; I consistently achieved well over 24 hours on a single charge with moderate use of ANC. The charging case adds several extra charges, so the advertised 30-hour claim seems entirely plausible.

However, I did notice some minor issues. In exceptionally loud environments, the ANC struggles, and in certain scenarios the audio occasionally presented a slight clipping effect at higher volumes.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent sound quality, effective ANC, long battery life, stable Bluetooth connection, comfortable fit, crystal-clear call quality.
• Cons: ANC struggles in very loud environments, occasional slight audio clipping at max volume.

Final Verdict

The BASEUS Bowie M2s (NGTW350101) offer impressive value for their price point. The combination of excellent sound quality, effective noise cancellation, and extended battery life makes them a strong contender in the crowded wireless earbuds market. While minor flaws exist, they don’t significantly detract from the overall user experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a versatile and high-performing pair of wireless earbuds.
