The verdict

The Mobvoi Earbuds Gesture packs a punch for its price point, but misses a few basic features like an in-app EQ. The Earbuds Gesture incorporates TicMotion, a feature previously reserved for Mobvoi’s more premium offerings. The IPX5 rating makes this headset a fine option for athletes, but ergonomically there are more appropriate options available. Still, if you just want a pair of stemmed earphones that seal to the ear and cost a fraction of what the AirPods cost, then Mobvoi may have earned your dollar.
