EDIT - JUNE 24
Soundpeats have introduced a new app called 'Peats Audio', which allows custom control configuration. Great news, and it works pretty well.
Summary:
SoundPEATS have done a great job of bringing a convincing budget AirPod Pro 2 alternative to the market that ticks a lot of boxes. The sound is enjoyable, ANC is excellent, calls are solid, and they're equipped with the latest technology that ensures you can maximise performance, particularly with newer Android Qualcomm-based devices, today and probably any time in the foreseeable future. They've included useful features like in-ear detection and Multipoint, and their app works on both Android and iOS, giving you lots of control over the EQ. Pretty, pretty, pretty good!
By the same token, SoundPEATS release a lot of products over the course of a year, and we're still waiting for some basic features like Quick Charge and customisable controls to be introduced. For me, acknowledging the need to include these fundamentals is key if SoundPEATS want to truly make a statement to that mid-tier market. Boxing off these basics and improving battery life should be high on the SoundPEATS agenda. Even so, overall, it's a strong release from SoundPEATS, and a big improvement over the Air3 Pro - highly recommended!

Thanks so much. I found your review on soundpeats h1 a few years ago on headfi. And i bought it by your recommendation and they were amazing. Since then whenever i want to recommend a headphone i search for your review first. And its nice to see you making video reviews too!
Thank you! 🙏 Always love to hear feedback like this, happy to have helped 🙌
Thank you for another great review! 👍
This is the real review that deserves like and subscribe immediately. Thanks and keep up with the great work!
Thank you ! 🙌
What is for you the best earbuds for making calls in noise environment (inside of train / open street/ coffee shops) but also having good sound and anc? The price is not an issue. Thanks
Technics AZ80 and Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 are the best I've heard for busy scene calls. Did you check my 2023 call quality comparison videos? Both of these models blow all of the ones I tested in those videos away
Thanks. I will check those videos out. @@ReganCipher
I didn't see that you tested Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3. Can you please send me the video link?
I am one of those people who see videos of a product after buying it, you can always find advices or something useful like, for example, your custom EQ. (I also watch a lot of reviews before buying of course haha as well as the frequency response and eq options)
Thanks for your detailed reviews!
Very good review
For me, what really helps in videos like this (for those of us who haven't yet made a purchase), is the recommendation of a better option in the summary. I see in the comments you recommend the QCY HT05 over this one, but don't mention it in the summary, and it seems others are asking the same questions.
Also, a super quick comment about why the QCY HT05 are preferred would also be useful. For example, now I'm curious if the QCY HT05 do include the quick charge that you mention the QCY HT05's have.
The thing is, it's quite difficult to say whether even I prefer the HT05 let alone whether others will, especially as they may be looking for something different from a set of earbuds. In terms of comfort, I prefer the Air4 Pro, and call quality is probably better too. The HT05 sound more Harman-like than the Air4 Pro - I wouldn't say that's better or worse, just a different tuning. ANC is definitely stronger on the Air4 Pro, but the QCY app is better and the level of customisation is preferable. Battery is better on the HT05 but no quick charge on either. So it's horses for courses really.
I think for a lot of us reviewers we would love to do comparisons but it would make my reviews even longer, especially as I include stuff like frequency response measurements and longer call tests in different scenarios that other reviewers don't really do.
Perhaps I'll do a comparison video soon - I take your point it would help inform purchases, I just have to make my own mind up what I prefer myself first 🤣
Thanks for the feedback and for watching! 🙌
@@ReganCipher I understand. Basically I consider you an authority since you have the expertise. Just knowing which you'd buy does ultimately help
@@ReganCipherFYI, I also grabbed a pair of Baseus Bowie MA10. only $20 😲
I will try and test those soon 👍
Many thanks for your reviews!. How is the ANC compared to Baseus Bowie M2s?
Thank you! There's not much difference in the ANC to be honest - very similar performance. Sound is miles better on the Soundpeats though and the volume is much higher
Hello,
I’m really confused about which earbud to choose because there are so many manufacturers and models available. I listen to metal music, and I prefer earbuds with good bass, as I don’t like a flat sound. What I prioritize are good sound quality, ergonomic design and battery life, with noise cancellation and other features coming second. I am using an iPhone.
I’m considering the following options: ‘Soundpeats Air 4 Pro (€60),’ ‘Soundpeats Life (€24),’ ‘Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro (€60),’ ‘QCY HT05 (€34),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3i (€45),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3 (€60),’ ‘Soundcore P20i (€21),’ ‘Moondrop Space Travel (€30),’ and ‘Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (€80),’ which is slightly above my budget. However, if it significantly outperforms the other models, I’ll consider buying it. Can someone recommend an even better model?
I really like your detailed reviews, keep it up!
Hi there! I think I may have already answered you on Reddit, but I think the better choices there are the QCY HT05 & Soundpeats Air4 Pro. I'd probably favour the HT05 because realistically you need a Snapdragon Gen 2 phone and above to enjoy the benefits of the Air4 Pro. The Soundcore Liberty 4NC are a good package but I think save your money and go for the QCY - I don't think the Soundcore are more than $50 better. I'll be uploading a video that compares a lot of these models early next week. Thanks for the kind comments and the support 🙌
Fantastic. I've been waiting for this review. Only you, Ian Fan and Paul Wasabi include the FR measurements for soundpeats
Haha thanks. I'm a big fan of Ian Fann! And Paul Wasabii is great too. I think Paul's review dropped this morning too, mine would have been online yesterday but I messed up one of the transitions and my internet is so slow here, takes an eternity to re-render and upload 😕 thanks for watching!
and Vortex included them as well lol
I have a question regarding a seemingly unknown earbud in western countries, which seem to be a good overall package and quite popular in India (don’t ask me why 😅). It‘s the Realme Buds Air 5 Pro, had you any contact with these or are you eventually planning on testing them?
Yes I am - I'm waiting for the 11.11 sale and hopefully I'll be able to get them in before Christmas as they look great on paper!
How do you compare Air 4 pro's ANC vs Liberty 4nc's?
ua-cam.com/video/nA8SzBswW5w/v-deo.html - 16:24 onwards, you can hear the difference from the ANC sound tests I included (L4 NC stronger)
Which one should I go for soundpeats, air 4 pro or soundcore liberty 4 nc. Price im getting on the soundpeats is 50$ and 80$ for the soundcore. Plus, which one would you pick personally considering the price gap. Thankyou
I answered you on the other video 👍
Hey man, nice review, I'm thinking of buying this but I just want to make sure about the max distance from device. Can you help me please?
Thanks! It's stated 10m line of sight, but using LDAC and bringing in other similar frequency devices does reduce the potency of the signal. It's pretty much the same as all of my LDAC buds - if I'm working in the living room, I can hear the attenuation start in the bathroom (around 6-7m). I'll do some more tests to confirm at some point and circle back here when I do 👍
@@ReganCipher oh man that would be a big help! New subscriber here man! Keep doing what you're doing!

Is Soundpeats in general worth it? I'm hearing a couple of news from facebook groups that some are having problems with one earbud getting broken at a short time span.
Personally I've never had a problem with any Soundpeats set. If you look on Reddit for this type of complaint you could probably find it for every brand that sells a few units. One bud separating connection from the other is probably the most common fault with TWS and there's a number of reasons why it can happen - sometimes it's components or quality control, but often it's really basic stuff like earbud hygiene. Not cleaning the charge connectors can overload components and kill them a bit quicker. And generally we tend to care for budget items a little less than more premium ones. With any of these budget sets I guess you're taking a gamble but I look after mine and have never had any fail (other than a set of Huawei and Earfun Air Pro 3)
I tried several ear buds but nothing was ever comfortable in my ears. I never found the right fit. Are these comfortable? Which of the under $100 ear buds has the best fit in your opinion?
For me, I find the Air4 Pro is pretty comfy. I don't really feel them in my ears, and they don't make my ears start to ache, BUT fit is very subjective - we all have slightly different shape ears so what suits me may not suit you.
Which models have you tried so far? The Air4 Pro has a medium insertion with a small diameter nozzle. I find this fit is more stable than something like Apple Airpods Pro, Huawei FreeBuds Pro, 1More Q30 or FIIL CC Pro, for example, which have larger diameter nozzles and much shallower fit (filling the space around your concha instead of going into your ear canal). If you can work out which style suits you best and why, and which style doesn't and why not, that will make it much easier to work out whether they would be comfortable or not.
some questions:
1 what is the song at the start (its all in my head?)
2. what are some sub 100$ budget tws with excellent call quality and a neutral or warm sound signature? i don't really like the V shaped sound.
1. Unreleased. It's a production from a mate of mine that hasn't been picked up by a label yet.
2. Have you tried Oppo Enco X2? They have much more midrange presence and occasionally drop below $100 : regancipher.squig.link/?share=Oppo_Enco_X2
@ReganCipher 1. oh now i know why wasn't i able to shazam it. I hope he releases this absolute banger soon!
2. Okay will check them out! i see you havent posted a review on them yet. Will you review it anytime soon?
@@ReganCipher would the oppo enco be a good upgrade over soundpeats h1?
I only focus on microphone quality (h1 has terrible mic quality even in silent environment)and sound signature (warm or neutral)
Nice review and nice channel logo :)
Greetings from Ukraine.
Уе дку! 🙌 🇺🇦🇺🇦
so between the earfun free pro r and the soundpeats air 4 pro what do you recommend
Earfun Air Pro 3? I didn't like the sound. Way too bassy for me, nowhere near enough musicality and unnatural tone. I reviewed the Air Pro 3 a while ago actually you should check it in my channel pages. Thanks for watching! 🙏
can the in-ear be disabled? I find it annoying when it doesn't work, so I'd rather have it off
Yep, shown at 12:06
What do i do if i lose them, is there a find my feature
There is no 'find my buds' feature on this model unfortunately 😌
what smartphone you are using in this video ?
Sony Xperia 1IV
Hello! Realme air 5 pro vs soundpeats air 4 pro... Which is better ? Thanks new subscriber
Thanks! I don't have the Buds Air 5 Pro yet.... Should be delivered any day soon. Review will come in January 👍👍
Hi, Please advise ; 1. Is Air4 Pro supports LE Audio ? My mobile phone is Oneplus 11. How am I to activate LE Audio and pair with Air4 Pro ?
I believe it does support LE audio, but if you connect in this way you wouldn't be able to use the Soundpeats app. I don't know about OnePlus, but on my Sony Xperia 1 IV the default connection is LE, so to not use it you have to switch it off. The menu system on all of the Android phones I've used make it really difficult to specify, use or even see that you're using LE. Maybe it will be better in Android 14 but I'm not holding out too much hope
Thanks@@ReganCipher . So far so good.👌
I will do some experiments and update.
Hi does capsule 3 pro and air 4 pro have the same cases? because i can't find cases for air 4 pro yet because it's new release
02:34 - Capsule3 Pro case is around 15-20% bigger so it won't fit
@@ReganCipher thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching 🙌
I have question if my phone doesnt has AptX loseless but my phone has codec AptX Adaptive will i can listen near loseless ?
P/s My english not well so i hope u reply my cmt Tks
Well, technically no, the bitrate is much higher with aptx-lossless than aptX-adaptive. In reality though, I would be very surprised if you can hear the difference. Codecs have much less impact on the sound than driver quality and tuning. Thanks for reaching out! 🙏
@@ReganCipher so..i can hear by codec AptX Adaptive with that Air 4 pro if my phone support that codec ? Because my phone not support ApTX loseless.Thank you.
@@TrongHuynh-sf2ug yes, as long as your phone supports aptX-adaptive, you can use that codec 👍
I will definitely recommend Capsule 3 pro than all these:
*Liberty 4 nc
*Air 4
*Air 4 pro
*Engine 4 and also all other earbuds Becaus it is much better in calling quality also for music
What you like ??
Air4 Pro has the strongest ANC, then L4NC. Capsule3 Pro probably best for calls, then L4NC. For music, depends on your preferred tuning. Capsule3 Pro is good if you're more treble sensitive and like smooth vocals. Air4 Pro is the cleanest sounding, but also less bassy. L4NC is v-shaped, not so musical but more energetic with a bit of midbass bleed. So just come down to personal preference really
Do you know whether the aptx lossless is supported on the one plus 9 sd 888 ?
According to AptX.com it isn't supported: www.aptx.com/product-listing?aptx_type=981&created[min]=2019/09/31&created[max]=2024/01/14&sort_by=created&sort_order=DESC - that list isn't always up to date but I'm pretty sure it's only available in 8 gen 1 and above 😥
Without this support how will the sound quality be ? Are they worth buying ? Thanks
I don't really notice a difference between LE being on or off. The Air4 Pro sound nice, if you like the style of sound I describe and show in the review (clean, less bassy) then they are a good listen
Should i buy realme buds air 5 pro or soundpeats air 4 pro???!?
Watch this - ua-cam.com/video/nA8SzBswW5w/v-deo.html - it compares both and includes ANC and sound samples so you can judge for yourself. Personally, I think RBA5P but maybe you might think differently
What do you recommend Capsule 3 Pro or Air 4 Pro? Which one is best for Calls?
Air4 Pro sounds better and has stronger ANC. Capsule3 Pro is better for calls and has better battery life. Air4 Pro has in ear detection, Capsule3 Pro doesn't 👍
Thanks for the reply. May I know which one has better microphone sensitivity and sound quality?
@@kamprasanga8685 I prefer the sound on the Air4 Pro. It's cleaner and less bassy. You can listen to samples for both the Air4 Pro and Capsule3 Pro in this and my Capsule3 Pro review and compare them. They are in the same noisy location. I think the Capsule3 Pro are better for calls. The Air4 starts to muffle a lot when you introduce ambient sound into the scene
Actually, Capsule3 Pro sample is here: ua-cam.com/video/hZ5o914i0Os/v-deo.html
Thanks for your explanation 👍👍
Hi Regan, I have a question. Since you have used both Baseus M2s and reviewed Soundpeats Air 4 Pro, do you think it's worth ordering the Air 4 Pro for the ANC if I already ordered M2s? Is it a big difference or only incremental difference between the two?
I already ordered M2s before watching your Air 4 Pro review. The price difference is negligible 😭
I don't think there's a big difference in price but the sound on the Air4 Pro is much better. The M2s are ok for audio, but a bit muddy. Everything is much cleaner by comparison on the Air4 Pro, but there's not so much subbass. Air4 Pro features just work a bit more reliably than M2s. Battery life is a bit better and call quality a bit better with the Soundpeats too. If they were the same price I'd buy the Air4 Pro 👍
@@ReganCipher Thank you for your response 🙌 My main focus is the Active Noise Cancellation, as all my devices have Dolby Atmos, PowerAmp and other software equalizers. I will wait for your Realme Air 5 Pro review to come out and then order either that or the soundpeats 👍
Can get 7 hours with aptx or sbc on air 4 pro?
I got around 6 hours with ANC off 😥

Hi bro, which better capsule 3 pro or air 4 on sound quality?
Capsule3 Pro is warmer and bassier, Air4 Pro is cleaner with less bass quantity and the tonal balance is a bit brighter. Both sound good, depends on your preference.

Does the noise cancellation beat the Anker Liberty 4NC?
I think the Soundcore is a bit stronger
What do u think about it in comparison to... capsule 3 pro!!
I want u to compare both..in term of call quality,, LDAC support!!
In my concideration... capsule 3 pro has still better ANC then this...
I compared them a bit in the review. ANC is stronger on Air4 Pro. Sound is nicer on Air4 Pro. Call quality is about the same (you can compare the call samples, I recorded in the same locations). LDAC or AptX lossless doesn't really make much difference. Battery life is much better on Capsule3 Pro
I hate CVC. The noise-cancelling isn't good. Soundpeats should've gone with ENC or AI.
I should say that the coffee shop was much noisier than usual when I recorded this. I don't think they have much choice over using cVc unfortunately because it's a Qualcomm SOC - they can only use the technology permitted by the chipset 😔
Then I wish Qualcomm would upgrade the CVC technology & make it better.@@ReganCipher
