SoundPEATS True Wireless Earbuds, Air3 Deluxe HS Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones with 14.2mm Driver, 4 Mic Hi Res Audio LDAC Ear Buds, IPX4 Waterproof Stereo in Ear Detection Earphones, 20Hrs

Before the pros, a quick couple "cons" that did not warrant the loss of a star rating in my opinion: There are 2 different Soundpeats apps on the Android/Google Play store and both could identify/connect these headphones and allow some interaction, but only one app would allow EQ setting changes and therefore is the best app version for me! With EQ tweaks to my personal preference, these have a fun, full sound. The other tiny con is that the touch controls are sensitive and personally I kept hitting the button when rearranging my ears/etc. Thankfully the aforementioned app allows you to change the functionality of each type of touch (single, double, triple, long press) or to disable touch overall with a single toggle.Now on to the good stuff! This is the first headphone of this style I've ever had, I've tried on Airpods as a point of comparison but my personal audio collection has IEMs, in other words mostly headphones with rubber inserts for isolation and clarity. To my very pleasant surprise, these Soundpeats Air3 Deluxe HS can still provide a fun sound without cutting my off from the outside world and sounds like IEMs do. In my personal EQ setup, I beefed up the Bass and Treble frequencies a couple notches to accentuate my favorite sound signature, the good-ole "V-shaped" sound which is lively, bassy, but doesn't drown any frequencies out. With this setup saved as my custom EQ, my music listening experience with these headphones is very enjoyable. To be fair, without any EQ changes I would have been 'slightly' disappointed by the bass quantity, only because I find many headphones lack bass and sometimes EQ tuning isn't good enough, but again it ended up working very well with these Air3s!A note about fit: they've been growing on me, I had to try out some angles to get used to the feel of these in my ears, and ultimately I learned that the sweet spot in my ears is lenient and they stay fairly snug while headbanging or walking around.I have not tested Game Mode yet but I greatly appreciate it as an option I may need. Listening to videos was good and I did not notice a delay/desync in Youtube videos while watching someone talk even without Game Mode active. I had a 2 hour phone call and have listened to hours of music without any battery-life concerns.Overall sound clarity is quite nice and I consider myself an amateur audiophile, so you'd think I'd have much to say about the LDAC setting (found in your phone's bluetooth setting when connected to the headphones, not in the Soundpeats apps fyi), but to my ears through Spotify's highest-quality audio stream, there might be a beneficial albeit minimal difference, but it I'll need to test more. What I'll say is that thankfully it won't be necessary to enjoy your music in general, and I've heard that it may use more battery power to use LDAC so I can safely save some juice without it. Like Game Mode, I appreciate that it is available and look forward to using LDAC to enjoy my favorite songs in their greatest detail!In conclusion, these have impressed and provided a new listening method/style (not IEM or over-ear), and I'm happy to add them to my ever-growing audio collection.

LOL I didn't realize how much I wanted to say about this so if anyone out there thinks my review is helpful for whatever reason, here's a tl;dr• Sound quality is great for the price. The custom sound control (sound equalization) through the app adds another layer to make the listening experience even better• Noise cancellation is ok but I honestly doubt any earbuds (even the airpods lol, I've used them via friend and clearly people just abuse the stigma of airpods noise cancellation in various ways) can have great noise cancellations so I think this is fine• Battery life isn't as great as advertised but it could be just the pair that I got (I have my guess in lower down the review)• Overall very much recommend if you're looking for earbuds with good sound quality that isn't gonna cost you $100+I always bought one of those "no-name" brand wireless earbuds that has random assortments of letters because I am not an audiophile and didn't want to spend a lot of money on earbuds when I felt like they would all sound the same. I dropped the "no-name" brand I was working with too many times and it got a little awkward where sometimes it wouldn't sit still in the charging case and would automatically turn on when shaken and connect to my phone. As I was looking for a new earbud, SoundPEATS came up as only slightly more expensive than the average price of "no-name" brand earbuds. So after a decent amount of google/reddit searching, I thought I'd give it a try. And man I can't go back anymore.This is the first earbuds that offered any sound equalization for me and it just opened up a completely new world for me. Sound quality was clearly much better than my working pair without any customization as I noticed sounds of drum/keys/bass that I never knew was in the background for the songs I always listened to. Then I downloaded the app to do some custom eq, it literally opened my eyes to a new world where I found out what sound range I liked and what parts of the sound (bass/mid/treble) I wanted to emphasize that made me enjoy the songs more. So in a way this earbuds kind of became my first love and since my standard was a "no-name" brand earbud, it's hard for me to cut praises for it.That said, it's definitely not a perfect earbuds. I am still very skeptical about noise cancellation in earbuds (I think headphones have the size and design capability to do well but earbuds.. meh) and that goes the same here. Not really a crazy amount of noise cancellation but can def hear well in public transport/cafe/gym with decent volume. Battery life for my earbuds don't seem to be as long as advertised but I feel like it might just be me receiving a returned/used (just my guess not actually true lol) cause my left earbuds drains battery faster than the right one. So it's a little annoying at times but usually I don't use my earbuds long enough to drain it so not a big deal. So yea overall definitely recommend for its sound quality and price range (it may very well compete fine against airpods for sound quality when I listened to it through a friend) but may have some drawbacks in some areas.

Nice design have to tweak with EQ in app but provides great sound and really good battery life. Earbuds will connect and work without the app with the EQ tweaks and turning off the touch controls. You can turn off the touch controls which is a really nice touch. Does the job and affordable. The app needs work and doesn't work offline. Use it to turn off the touch controls and tweak the EQ and then delete it.

I accidentally put these through both the washer and dryer and they still work perfectly!
