SoundPEATS Upgraded True Wireless Earbuds, Hi-Res Audio Wireless Ear Buds Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones with Built in 4 Mic in-Ear Stereo Earphones, 14.2mm Driver, Total 20Hrs, In-Ear Detection, IPX4 Rated

This is my third set of earbuds from Soundpeats so i think it would be clear that I like their products. The first wireless earbuds I purchased were the Q30s which I think are terrific but I wanted something that was did not tether the right and left earpieces together and purchased their TrueCapsule earbuds. I was once again impressed so I decided to try yet another set of Soundpeats. These not only lived up to my expectations but surpassed all that I had hoped for. First off, the sound is great, especially once you get the fit right by choosing the correct sized ear tips. The re-charging case along with the earbuds themselves makes for incredible battery life. I charged the case with the earbuds in it once and it’s been days and I still have plenty of charge left. The controls on the earbuds respond very well to a light touch so you don’t feel like you are jamming them into your ear canal uncomfortably. I live in an urban environment and in the past I have noticed that there is a lot of drop outs with Bluetooth earbuds. This doesn’t happen with the Soundpeats. In fact, I have yet to have any interference affect the connection between my iPhone and these earbuds. Overall, the sound from the lows to the mid range to the highs is very balanced and pleasant. I have listened to a variety of music from classical to jazz to pop to rock to electronic to even audiobooks and all seem to do well with these earbuds. I love the way they connect instantly to my iPhone the second I take them out of the case and disconnect the moment I place them back in the case. I highly recommend you get a set of these. At the price they’re a steal!

1 year of use revisit at the bottom of the review.Original Review:I just ran through the first full charge on these earbuds. They sound better than the price point may lead one to believe. Bass is quite full compared to other wireless buds I've used with mids not very accurate and fairly decent highs.At this price point ($30-35) you really cannot have very high expectations.The multifunction buttons built into both earbuds do not feel very intuitive and take some force to actuate. I did not enjoy pausing, resuming or changing volume as every push resulted in pushing them deeper into my ear canal, which is not that much fun.The case is not particularly large and would fit in any pocket. The magnets inside the case will definitely keep the buds secure to their charging locations. There is no external case indication of charge status of the ear buds. You have to open the case and look at the LEDs on the buds themselves in order to find out whether they are done charging, or not. The two external LEDs on the case are solely to indicate case charging status. If you look very closely and focus on the lid of the case you will find out that it's partially transparent and the ear bud LEDs may be visible through the case lid, but not in all conditions. If you are outside in bright light you're unlikely to be able to see through the case lid, but inside and in dim lighting they should be visible without opening the lid. Case lid can be operated single handed if needed.I made a 1 hour long phone call with no mic quality complaints. I also spent another 3.5 hours playing music at volume between 35 and 50% for a total charge lasting 4.5 hours.There are a total of 4 sizes tips included in the box to cater to different sized ear canals. I highly suggest experimenting with the different sized tips to get the best fit before you start judging noise cancellation, volume or how securely they fit into your ears.Additionally when placing these buds into your ears, you should use a twisty motion for best fitment and also grasp the bud on its sides and avoid pushing the multi-function button.Only 1 microphone hole is visible on each bud, but both buds have a separate microphone allowing them to each be paired and used separately for phone calls or if you want to listen to music/podcasts/video with one bud only in mono mode. That requires a separate pairing setup compared to stereo pairing with a device.I will make it a point to use this set only going forward over the next few weeks in order to fully evaluate them and update the review with more insight and real world usage statistics, but so far so good. Definitely a good buy in this price range and they seem to deliver a lot of value at a very reasonable price point that is affordable to the masses.6 Month UpdateAs I approach the 6 month mark I decided to take a second look at these earbuds. They have been my daily drivers for the past 5+ months. They have been great for phone calls and listening to music. The battery life has stayed consistent throughout and I have yet to keep them in my ear long enough to completely drain the case to a point where earbuds and case are both dead. I am quite keen of the way they sound and I highly recommend purchasing these. They do not do very well when running, but for walking, commuting, desk, couch, cleaning around the house and other more mellow activities these earbuds certainly hold their own and remain an excellent value in the segment.1 Year revisit:I have been using these earbuds now for a full year. They still provide 8 hrs of continuous listening to podcasts/music and watching videos. These have far surpassed all of my expectations. By far my favorite feature remains the ability to pair one earbud with my phone and the other earbud with my work laptop. I have been working remotely for some weeks now, and this feature absolutely takes the crown as most useful for me. I am on conference calls nearly daily and these earbuds have performed great. These ear buds are likely not meant to be used for extensive calls because they have a single microphone in each earbud. They bring in noise into the call and muddle the voice a bit when in noisy environments. No issues at all if you're in a quiet room, but you should not expect noise cancelling performance in calls. If used with knowledge of this shortcoming, you will remain happy with them for a long time. I still stand behind these as the best value wireless earbuds I have ran into over the years.

I was seeking true wireless blue-tooth earbuds specifically for music playback during gym workouts - I have no intent to use these for phone or any other purpose.Ordered on Monday, received on Tuesday.Arrived fully charged and ready to go.These earbuds paired quickly and easily (read the manual) with my AGPTEK Blue-Tooth v4.0 Mp3 Player:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073TTR7CZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1The package contains the wireless earbuds, charging storage box, USB cable, an assortment of various size in-ear tips, and printed instructions.Design and function appear to be good quality.First impressions: these earbuds sound good. Not audiophile, yet certainly decent, especially for the price. The midrange is good, and highs are on par, if not a bit sparkly and sometimes bright at higher volume, on some songs. The bass can be decent, sometimes a bit "muddy";this is very dependent upon the placement of the buds in your ears, how deep and how tight you insert them, and at what angle. I suggest experimenting with the variety of different sized tips to find the best fit and sound quality to suit your tastes.My first trip to the gym with my new buds was a delight. I went through a routine of high intensity cardio doing intervals on an ellipticle machine (arms and legs moving hard and fast, head bobbing to tunes), followed by weights, stretching, then massage chair and hydro massage bed. At no point did I ever have concern for the buds to come loose or fall out; they stayed put - even when the massage chair and massage bed were rattling my head, neck, and shouders.The sound quality was decent, the volume can go as loud as I want, and the noise cancellation is very good. Overall my first night at the gym with my new buds was going so well, I extended my visit, then walked around listening to more tunes. Even while dressing to go home, I was debating continuing to wear them for the drive home; I though better of it and reluctantly powered off the ear buds and returned them to their charging / storage case. After a total play time of almost three hours, the ear buds were still playing strong.Blue-tooth connectivity range was good for me; I seldom venture far from my tiny player. I did move nearly 20 feet from my player, with several metal weight machines in near proximity, at almost 20 feet I began to experience blue-tooth drop out. I stepped toward the player a couple paces, and connectivity resumed. At home I was able to place the player in the center of the house, and I had connectivity until I went behind a wall or behind a closed door.So far so good - I am happy with this product.This is my second purchase of SoundPeats blue-tooth earbuds; the first pair are connected to each other via wire. My purchase decision for this second pair was greatly influenced by my overall positive experience with the sound quality and volume, fit, noise cancellation, battery life, and function of the first pair.
