Amazon has just confirmed that it has removed all listing of a major accessory maker, RavPower from its online store. The latter has apparently violated the company’s policies and has thus had its listings removed.

According to a recent blogpost from the e-retailer giant, the company revealed that it maintains a strict policy for all the companies that use its platform. AndroidAuthority had initially reported on this news, which surfaced after Wall Street Journal’s Nicole Nguyen ordered a RavPower charger that also offered her a 35 US Dollar gift card if she left a review. While RavPower’s parent company Sunvalley state that the firm didn’t ask for a five star rating, the offer still violated a 2016 Amazon policy.

This policy bars companies from offering monetary rewards for reviews. Initially, it was unclear if Amazon had removed the listings for this very reason, but the company’s latest blogpost has confirmed this report. Notably, the listing removal also arrives after the e-retailer had previously taken down listings from other accessory makers like Mpow and Aukey. Furthermore, the blogpost didn’t specifically call out these brands or even RavPower, but it did detail its strict policy towards paid Amazon reviews. For those unaware, Aukey and Mpow listings were removed back in May 2021, as these two firms were accused of paying for fake reviews.

UNBOXING

The headset comes with some extra earbuds and ear supports, a charging cable and some instruction manuals.

DESIGN, FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY

For just $20, the earphones are really well made and the I like the design of them. The actual earphone part is made out of rubberised plastic and the top has a somewhat vinyl-like finish. 

The earphones are not the smallest I’ve seen and therefore I highly recommend you using the ear supports or stabilisers (whatever you call them). Also, make sure to select the right size of the earbuds. Once you do that, I found that the headset is comfortable to use and it does not fall out of the ears. 

Also, I love the flat tangle-free cable design and the placement of the controller. Speaking of which, it has 3 nice and tactile buttons, which allow you to skip tracks, answer the calls and so on. 

TEST NOTES AND SOUND QUALITY

I didn’t have any issues with pairing the headset with my phone. Also, the Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity and range are fine.

When it comes to the sound quality, this is definitely one of the better sounding $20 Bluetooth headsets. The sound is crisp and clear, there are no distortions at the max. volume setting and there is a decent amount of bass. 

As far as call quality, it is good and I had no complaints from anyone I talked to via this headset.

The battery life is surprisingly good. I could get over 6.5 hours of music playback and you simply cannot ask more from a headset this cheap. 

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, I was pretty happy with this pair of Mpow earphones. Of course, you can’t expect some stellar sound quality but for $20 it is really good for the price.

Also, I love the fact that they actually stay in the ears while jogging but you have to be patient to find the right earbuds and ear stabilisers. Well, these rules apply to each and every sports headset. People are just impatient to find the right fit for their ears and they think that the headset is crap. 

All in all, I can definitely recommend this pair or earphones as I didn’t find any major shortcomings. These are definitely one of the better ones I’ve tested if we talk about $20 price point.
