SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe Wireless Earbuds -- DEMO & REVIEW

Tiny earbuds with big sound

Let's check these out. Dave Taylor here, and I'm checking out these

These are the Sound Pete's Air 3 Deluxe wireless, true wireless stereo or TWS

and they're pretty sweet, actually. They're powered by a 14.2 millimeter driver, and they give you a lot of sound

We'll come back to the sound in a little bit. Bluetooth 5.2, APTX adaptive, true wireless mirroring, which is their fancy word for saying you can listen to either bud or both

And so if you want to do like just like hear some background conversation or something, you can use one while you're charging the other

And then switch and it's seamless. Very handy. Five hours of listening per pod

And then three more charges in the case gives you a total of 22 hours of

battery life and in case it's not obvious this is really small it's a really tiny case it's

extremely light USB charging on the bottom and then the earbuds themselves you'll notice that they

don't have ear tips so there's no fiddling around trying to get the right size for your ears

this is a one size fits all and as you can see in the close-up it's a pretty nice looking design

actually they're pretty elegant looking so they have four microphones for voice. So if I put this one in, let's see, this is left, and then this one is

right. So if I put these in, it's actually using four different microphones to pick up audio. And

I'll give you a demo in just a second. Let me just say that they're also using CVC 8.0

built atop the Qualcomm 3040 chip, which is pretty much state of the art with everything

Now, let's make sure these are paired with my phone, and I'll go ahead and give you that demo

They look like they're connected. So I'm going to go to voice

Let's see. There's a handy voice recorder on the phone. So this is my iPhone 13 Pro, soon to be an iPhone 14 Pro, I assume

We'll see. And now it should be recording from the earbuds. So what you hearing now is the audio picked up from the actual sound piece Air 3 Deluxe And as you can hear it a pretty nice audio quality So there really nothing to complain about here Now the biggest well hang on let me switch back to my regular microphone

Okay, so the biggest limitation with these is that there's no ANC, there's no active noise canceling

So if you're in a noisy environment, you're going to turn the volume up on these to try to mask all

that background noise, and that's not always great for your hearing. One of the things I like about

that active noise canceling, and SoundPete's makes ANC units. But one of the things that's nice about it is

it lets you listen to music at a lower volume and still get rid of a lot of that ambient and

environmental noise around you. Handy. Now, back to these. They have a game mode with 60 millisecond

latency. If you're going to use these and you're playing a game of some sort, then that's really

important. A lot of games use audio cues to tell you that, for example, someone's behind you and you have to deal with it right now. And if you have a slow delay or latency on that, that can be problematic. Now, even without game mode, I found these were fast enough. And this again, I think is Bluetooth 5.2, but you can absolutely watch video content on your device and everything looks like it's in sync. That timing of the game mode is really because games are so time-sense

But if you want to watch YouTube or a streaming channel like Netflix or HBO Max or something, you'll find that non-game mode works fine and it's a little bit better battery life if you don't turn that on

They are also IPX4 water and splash resistance. So you can't swim with them. They'd float off your ears anyway. But you can actually have them get wet without a crisis. Now, let me show you one more thing

recording and there is actually a sound Pete's app so I'm going to launch the app and

you can see that it's paired with the earbuds and it looks like they are needing

some charge but what's really nice is that there's a lot of EQ settings here so

the adaptive EQ you can do that you can it gives you like a hearing test and

then it can modify its curve to compensate for what you can hear really well

maybe mid and here not so well maybe really high sounds so you can always choose an EQ too And I have it too fashionable because who doesn want to hear fashionable music right

But you could do something like bass boost if you want, then I'll go back

Or you could do a custom equalizer, which is, you know, these are pretty standard features on all of these apps nowadays

And you can turn on and off game mode. Let's turn that off. and you'll notice that I have disable touch key one-click functionality

And so one of the things that's the case with these sort of devices

and let me go ahead and stop that recording, one of the things that happens is because they're so touch-sensitive

that sometimes if you put your hand up just to put, you know

push it back in or get it to adjust just so, sometimes you've just activated a function

and that lets you disable that if that becomes problematic. I didn't find it to be a big issue, but sometimes I do find that I'm like readjusting these

Honestly, I kind of prefer having different size ear tips because I have ear cs that are on the larger size

And that means that these felt like they weren't super securely in

Now, having said that, I did wear them. I moved around. I mowed the lawn, always a risky one in case it falls and you mow it

But they stayed in really well. but every so often I found myself pushing them in just a little bit

So, you know, this is something where for most people, I think for the average person

these probably work great, but if you have atypical or atypical large ear cs

you might find that that comfort and fit is something that ends up being an issue

Now, what we also need to talk about, of course, is the sound

and they sound really good. Sound pete's has put some really nice drivers in here

And particularly in a quiet environment, it gives you a big, full, rich sound

And it's something, it's very enjoyable. It has a nice response all the way up the frequency

You get nice bass, especially if you put on like bass boost like I did

then you're going to get a nice drop on your electronica. And the highs on that violin solo, probably not in the same piece of music

but those highs are not going to be tinny or jarring. They're going to be pleasant, right

And soundstage wise, it's a. a big sound stage for the price These actually have really nice sound Again my two biggest issues with them is number one There is no ANC and that not really a fair issue because this is just what they are right

But the other one is that they don't have different size ear tips, and sometimes one size fits all isn't quite as good as being able to fine tune that size to fit the dimensions of your ear

This is going to be something you will maybe have an issue with, maybe you won't

So important for you to know. Otherwise, lots to like. Now, we do need to talk about the price. Let me put these back in. So they are charging. And we should talk about the price, like I said. But before we get there, let me ask if you could subscribe to my channel, click or a tap on that subscribe button, and we're connected. How easy is that? And then don't forget to turn on notifications so you get updates every time I post new content and I post new content a lot. I have a lot of gear

every week because companies want me to check it out and that's to your benefit sweet

now these are the sound peats air three deluxe wireless earbuds they come in black or white

I'll let you guess which one this is and they're 4999 minus 10% right now at amazon.com

making them 4499 at amazon.com for 45 bucks these are a pretty solid upgrade I would say

they are fairly comparable to the Apple AirPods, not the Pro, because the Pro gives you that ANC feature

but otherwise these are a nice, far less expensive option than the Apple choice

And these, of course, will also work with Android, with your Windows PC, if it has Bluetooth

really any device that supports Bluetooth, you can use these. And you'll find that the sound is really good

Just don't plan on using them if you're going to be in a really loud environment unless you're perfectly happy

cranking that music up. So it's all I got. I think I'm going to go back to my music

So, oops, let me get that back in my ear. And I'll catch you in my next video
