MINISO TB-19 Earphones Review – Quality Sound Without Breaking The Bank

First Impressions

The MINISO TB-19 came with a simple box and the usual accessories you’d see when buying earphones.

Its design and build are much better than what you’d expect for its price. It has a sleek and minimalist look that gives it a premium feel.

The rubber neckband gives the user comfort even when it’s worn for a long time. The plastic covering the earphones’ electronic parts is kinda fragile if you’ll observe.

It’s available in a few colors and I got mine in black. 

Build Quality

The MINISO TB-19 didn’t disappoint in terms of aesthetics, and the same goes for its build.

The neckband is durable. I’ve fallen asleep while wearing it at some point and when I woke up, the earphones were still intact and not tangled around my neck, even though I move a lot when I’m sleeping.

The cables were also good and kinda stretchy, although I don’t know how and why. Overall, the quality is decent.

Fit and Comfort

The MINISO TB-19 is so light that you won’t feel anything while wearing it around your neck. It’s lightweight and comfy, which makes it suitable for sports and for working out. 

The ear tips were also a good fit for my ears and aren’t painful even when worn for long periods. The magnets also help the earphones stay intact.

Sound Quality

I think MINISO TB-19’s bass is balanced, which makes it perfect for people who listen to music just for leisure. 

It’s got a slightly V-shaped sound with its elevated bass sound at some tracks, although some bass lovers might find that this earphone’s bass needs to be improved. 

The highs are also remarkable by emphasizing it, giving a nice blend with other frequencies.

Bass

The bass of the MINSO TB-19 is good though it needs a bit of clarity. 

Some bass parts were also noticeable, especially when the bass notes were higher. I also needed a different setting on the equalizer when using these earphones.

Mids

The mids give a warm, clear sound, delivering a balanced frequency with other sections.

Another thing I’d like to commend is the tonality and the naturality, which makes the MINISO TB-19’s mids a good deal with its price.

Treble 

Despite the treble peaks at some tracks, it didn’t cause discomfort in my ears, but rather a part you can’t un-hear.

The treble has some distinct characteristics and keeps up with other sections, which makes MINISO TB-19 a good choice for beginners.

Test Tracks

I have tested the MINISO TB-19 on different genres of music to get a proper understanding of how these IEMs sound. I have listed below the different tracks I’ve used and my analysis of them:

• Metal / Rock – The mids were nicely displayed with the different tracks I listened to, making it distinguishable while listening to other frequencies. The vocals were also neatly showcased in these songs. Tracks used: Bulls On Parade (Rage Against The Machine), Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes), Can’t Stop (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
• K-Pop – MINISO TB-19 didn’t fail to deliver these tracks’ vocals neatly, which is a big thing for K-Pop listeners. The drum tracks of these songs were also balanced and not recessed. Though I noticed some treble peaks, it isn’t noticeable in the long run. Tracks used: POP! (NAYEON), The Feels (TWICE)
• Hip-hop – The MINISO TB-19 emphasized the vocals without overpowering the instruments. The synths were also given emphasis, but the bass section could use some improvement. Tracks used: Hold On, We’re Going Home (Drake), Location (Khalid), All Of The Lights (Kanye West)
• Indie – The balanced frequencies of MINISO TB-19’s showcased these different tracks’ cool instruments. The “Shouldn’t Be” instrumentals could use more tweaks, but the vocals were remarkable. Though at some point, some instruments were unnoticeable and treble peaks were also heard. Tracks used: I’m In Love With You (the 1975), rocket science (vaultboy), Shouldn’t Be (Luke Chiang)
• R&B/Soul – The reverb on the tracks was so good which gave them more feeling. The guitars and similar instruments were also presented neatly, although the bass could use more power. Tracks used: IT’S YOU (MAX, Keshi), Moments (Micah Edwards), Too Good (Christian Kuria)

Conclusion

For a brand that isn’t known to manufacture audio devices and equipment, MINISO TB-19 didn’t disappoint me.

It has distinct characteristics you can’t find in other devices or IEMs.

I hope the brand will eventually improve what they’ve been lacking with the TB-19. Overall, the MINISO TB-19 is a good deal for its price.
