An incremental update makes these sound great
0:02
Let's check them out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out this
0:12
This is the Sound Pete's Air 3 Deluxe HS wireless earbuds. Take one out so you can see
0:20
They are as simple, elegant design, no ear tips needed, and they are sleek and comfortable
0:27
And you notice that I emphasized HS. Why did I do that
0:31
Because I've previously reviewed the Sound Pete's Air 3 Deluxe. I really liked them
0:37
You can check out that review. But what this does is it's an incremental update for the hardware that adds high res certified
0:45
In fact, they tell me they're one of the first companies to be certified for a half-in earbud with high-res audio
0:53
So that's pretty sweet. Now, from the design perspective, these are basically like Apple Airbuds
1:00
So if I put them in my ear, they're going to be mostly sticking out with that little stem sticking down
1:07
Here's a close-up so you can see what the heck's going on. And it's already paired and I'm already listening to music
1:13
So I'm going to have to take this out so I don't get distracted. But suffice to say, super easy to work with
1:19
And that high-res audio, if you give it a good source, really gives you nice audio feedback
1:25
So some specs. 14.2 millimeter bio diaphragm driver, 20 to 40,000 hertz response, way better than my hearing
1:35
Dual mic noise cancellation so that when you're speaking, when you're on a phone call
1:40
which is definitely one of the things you do with these, then it's going to get rid of a lot of the environmental noise
1:45
I'll give you a demo of the audio in just a second or two. And like I said, they're high-res certified, which means that they just have a lot of ability to do a really
1:56
audio file level music reproduction. They also have game mode, a 60 millisecond low latency
2:03
So if you need to use earbuds while you're playing a game, maybe on your phone or your tablet or your computer or whatever
2:09
then they will get rid of that latency or delay, which can be really problematic in a game
2:14
where you hear something behind you and by the time you've then reacted, you're just run out of that game
2:22
because what happened is that you didn't hear that sound, when the software generated, you heard it some 100, 150 milliseconds later
2:31
They solved this by getting you that 60 milliseconds super low latency delay
2:36
Really cool. Now, each earbud has enough battery on board for five hours of playback, and then you get four
2:46
more charges in the case, and it's all really small. The case is super easy to work with
2:53
USBC charging on the bottom No surprise it comes with a USBA to USBC charging cable In fact if we were to do an unboxing it not much in here
3:04
So because there's not different size ear tips or anything, it's the unit, the wire
3:10
a little instruction booklet, and a little intro to the app to help you get the sound Pete's app
3:17
Oh, and speaking of Pete's, I should introduce you to Pete's. Pete's is their mascot and they sent me one and it's kind of this weirdly heavy thing and I
3:29
immediately said to them oh that's cool so what secret features does it have and they're like
3:34
secret features that's a great idea we should add some secret features so Pete's doesn't have any
3:40
secret features but isn't he cute so unfortunately you can't buy them someday maybe you can but
3:47
for now this is a special limited edition so let's go go back to the earbuds. So IPX4 for the earbuds, which means if you're out and you're sweating
3:58
or you're like getting rained on or it's snowing or something, you're cool. Nothing bad is
4:03
going to happen with that moisture. There are also Bluetooth 5.2, which is pretty much the latest and
4:08
greatest with Bluetooth. And the real advantage of Bluetooth 4 to Bluetooth 5, one of the big improvements
4:15
is that your individual earbuds now stay in sync so much easier. I don't know if you're
4:21
remember the old days, but it really was kind of a drag. You'd get earbuds like this, and then one of them would lose connection, or the other one would
4:29
or they wouldn't know about each other, or you'd have two devices showing up under Bluetooth
4:33
All of that was fixed with Bluetooth 5, so you really don't want to go back
4:37
But 5.2 is the latest and greatest, giving you more range and better audio quality
4:43
They also support AAC, LDAQ, and SBC in addition to high-res, and AAC is the higher quality audio codec from iPhones and similar devices
4:55
So let me give you a demo. And I'm going to give you a demo both of the app
4:59
So let's get this thing recording. So I'm going to give you a demo of both the Sound Pete's app, which I can find here somewhere on my phone
5:09
Wow. A lot of stuff on my phone. There we go. Okay
5:14
So right now it's like I can't find anything, but I'm going to take out the earboards
5:18
earbuds, put them in my ears. There's one. And there's the other. And they're comfortable
5:26
They're super light. They seem to stay in pretty well. And you can see in the app that it is now
5:32
found the earbuds. So I am good to go with the Air 3 Deluxe HS. So what can I do from here
5:39
Well, the biggest thing is to go into settings. And on settings, I can do all sorts of customization
5:45
I can do adaptive EQ where it actually gives you a little mini hearing test and then
5:50
adjusts the equalization based on your actual hearing You can also do presets for equalizer I have bass boost and I can choose something else
6:01
Maybe we can try hip hop, just for something different. And you can also do your own custom equalizer, if that's what you prefer
6:09
but we'll just stick with hip hop. And then game mode, that's what I was talking about
6:14
and it has built in voice with a big echo. So I hear game mode like that, really
6:20
Pretty fun. That gets you down to the 60 millisecond low latency
6:28
And one of the things that I find is that sometimes I just adjust them a little bit
6:33
to get them to be sitting in the right spot in my ear. And I just actually changed and turned on a function because it has all these different tap
6:42
functions, which is obviously really common. But the problem is I don't always want that to happen
6:47
So in fact, hang on a second. And let's pause that. Okay, so that's why you could disable touch key one key functionality
6:57
So what that does is it basically says make these as if they don't have that touch surface
7:03
And for people that really like having all those controls because their phones in their pocket or something
7:07
obviously you're not going to do that. But if you're used to doing everything on your phone anyway, it's kind of a nice option to be able to have
7:16
And that's pretty much all of the important functions. functionality here. If we go back to the main screen, so this also shows me battery levels
7:26
and this also lets me get to firmware and stuff. But what I want to do now is let's go ahead and leave
7:32
this, and I'm going to go to my voice recorder. Maybe, let's see, oh, that was the wrong one
7:43
Stand by. So there we go. Voice memos. And so what I'm going to do here
7:49
is I'm going to switch so that now what you're hearing is you're hearing my voice being picked up
7:57
by the dual mic system on the sound piece Air 3 Deluxe HS
8:02
And you can decide for yourself what you think, but I think it sounds pretty good
8:07
So let me switch back to my regular microphone. And I just have to say, because it's so important, is that the sound reproduction on these is really good
8:19
was listening to some weather report, just classic jazz. And, you know, they don't have ANC
8:25
so they don't block out all of the environmental noise around you for your listening. So
8:30
they work better in a quiet environment. But boy, there's just a real precision to the
8:36
quality of the sound and a big sound stage and a lot of accuracy. And so the highs are sound
8:44
they sound pleasant They not bright or tinny The lows definitely if you into something like hip hop or electronica or something you going to love the drop There a lot of bass going on here And obviously I have the EQ set to give me a little bit more base too
9:01
But there's really a lot to like about the audio reproduction. Give it a high-res audio signal from something like title
9:09
And, you know, it'll just give you an even better sound. But even without the high-res audio, just a regular audio does a really good job
9:18
They're very impressive earbuds. So what we do need to talk about is we do need to talk about the price
9:27
And there's a little complication I tell you about how they're being launched, because they're not quite available yet as I record this video
9:34
But before we get to all of that, I'm going to ask if you could subscribe to my channel
9:38
click or a tap on that subscribe button, then click on that little bell icon to turn on notifications
9:44
We're connected, super. Now, let's talk about the price. and everything and I really need to take these out because I don't want to keep
9:52
listening to Weather Report. Thank you very much and let's go ahead and turn
9:58
off this screen recording. Okay so these come in black or white and they're
10:05
launching on November 18th on Amazon. So right now if you're watching this
10:12
before the 18th you can jump in on an early bird pricing so you want to be
10:18
poised and ready because these are the Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe H.S. Wireless earbuds
10:26
and they are 4999 but with the early bird discounts and everything they're going to go
10:32
down to 3499 at Soundpeats.com or Amazon.com it's not available on either right now but it
10:41
will be on the 18th and you can find the discount code in the description of this video
10:48
So at a certain point, I'm going to have to remove the discount code because it will no longer work because it won't be early bird anymore
10:54
But for right now, these are really remarkably good sounding earbuds and very comfortable and very capable
11:03
And they're so inexpensive at $3499, honestly, that if you accidentally lost one and had to replace the whole thing, it's $3499
11:13
It's really incredibly cheap for what it delivers. So also comes in black, as you can see, or white if you prefer the white color
11:22
Either way, it's cool. And that's everything I got. I hope you found this interesting, and I'll hope to catch you in my next video
