It's Micro USB. And while I'm at it (I should do a review)... I bought this mostly for phone calls and secondarily for music. Musically, there is no discernible bass, but the treble is quite clear. I heard songs I know from years ago and could suddenly hear the lyrics. But these are no beats.
As for phone calls, because the ear pieces seal (a plus for me), they are quite annoying for talking on the phone.
Mini-review done.

How can you tell the right from the left earbud? They appear identical to me.
Michal M
on Oct 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: When you remove them from the case or turn them on you will hear "Power on" from each bud. When both have powered on you will hear "Connected" from each one. Then the left one will say "Left channel" then the right will say "Right channel" followed by the left one saying "Second device connected".
If you only power on the left bud it will say "Power on" and about 10 seconds later it will say "Connected" once it connects to your bluetooth device
If you only power on the right bud it will only say "Power on" since it is only a slave to the left one and will not not connect or say "Connected" on its own.
If you only power on the left bud it will say "Power on" and about 10 seconds later it will say "Connected" once it connects to your bluetooth device
If you only power on the right bud it will only say "Power on" since it is only a slave to the left one and will not not connect or say "Connected" on its own.

They literally tell you when you first put them in your ears: "Left Channel"; "Right Channel". I've never had a problem with that, though. The left one goes straight from the left spot in the case to my left ear and back again, etc. Since the buds need to be in the case to recharge, there's never much reason for them to be anywhere else.
I don't see any identifying markings on them, they appear to be physically identical.

They are identicle except for which is left and which is right audio. Since I dont listen to things where the panning matters, I just pop them in. They fit exactly the same. If the panning is an issue, I would suggest switching out one earpiece with one of a different dfeeent color.

Yes, I have the manual - it's minimal but adequate - about 200KB. I'm not sure how to get it to you though. I can tell you that if you put the earphones in your ears and press the LEFT (main) button, you will hear: "pairing" as it joins the right earphone. If your smart phone's blue tooth is turned on , "TWS" will appear as a new device. Click or select it. After the first pairing, when you put the earphones in your ear press the left button, you'll hear "pairing" followed by "pairing with second device" as it pairs with your phone. When you put the earphones into their charger, they unpair, turn off, and start charging. If you have a specific other question, I'll try to answer it for you.

Are these better than AirPods?
Christian P
on May 2, 2019
BEST ANSWER: My Answer: Because I don't own AirPods, I can't directly compare them, but the reason I bought these instead of AirPods is because these fit snuggly and comfortably in the ear whereas I'm concerned that AirPods, like the older corded Apple earphones, won't fit as well and will fall out with activity (these don't)l. Also, the price is certainly much more favorable.

Once the battery is charged, hold the button down on one of the ear pieces until you hear the voice say "pairing" and watch for "MP-TWE" to show up on your Bluetooth device. Select that and it should be paired. The voice will then say "connected".
In my experience, the earpiece may power on when you first remove it from the charging base. In this case, you may need to hold the button down until you hear "power off." Then begin the sequence I shared above by holding the button down. It will first "power on" and then say "pairing".

How do I get the two earpiece to work at the same time? I can get the right side to work.
A shopper
on Feb 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I suggest making sure your case is charged. If it is, and the earbuds are also charged, they should both turn on when removed from the case. If that doesn't happen, or if they have turned themselves off due to disuse, you will need to turn each earbud on individually. Press the button on each for 1-2 seconds until each one turns on. If they are both charged, but still won't turn on, you may have a defective unit.

Turn the left earpiece on. If it doesn't automatically turn on when removed from the charging case, then you can manually turn each earpiece on/off by hold the button on it for a few seconds.

Buds will automatically and after several minutes turn themselves off after using them when out of the base AND while no longer connected to a device. Returning the buds to the base switches the white bud lights on and resumes charging them.
