SOUNDPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS vs Air3 Deluxe vs Air3

The “HS” version of the Air3 Deluxe adds LDAC support. Another slight difference I noticed is that they don’t specifically have cVc 8.0 noise cancellation for the microphones, but they do have a similar technology that they refer to as Environmental Noise Cancellation. It’s still effective and reduces the background sounds so the mics can focus on your voice during phone calls. The battery charging case also gives you slightly less total playtime at 20 hours compared to the regular Deluxe model at 22 hours.

Performance

Since the earbuds themselves are the same from the Air3, the Air3 Deluxe HS sounds great with a good bass response and clear mids. They are a strong competitor to the Apple AirPods for anyone who likes the form factor and is looking to save some cash.

The Bluetooth connection seems solid and I really haven’t noticed any drop-outs or other interruptions in the connection while using them as long as I have my phone nearby. If I walk to another area of the house and leave my phone behind, the connection starts to get garbled which is to be expected.

Features

• LDAC support: If you have an Android device that supports LDAC, you can take advantage of the higher quality audio. iPhones do not currently support LDAC, but they would still work with these earbuds.
• Longer battery life: The Air3 Deluxe HS version of these earbuds features a larger charging case that can last up to 20 hours (3 charges), compared to 17.5 hours on the non-Deluxe Air3 (2.5 charges).
• Auto-pause: If you remove either earbud, it will automatically pause the music on your phone, then resume it when you place the earbud back in your ear.
• Touch controls: While you can’t customize the touch controls like you can on the Apple AirPods, I found most of the features I need are already programmed. For example, you can decrease the volume with a single tap of the left earbud (and increase it with a single tap of the right earbud). You can play and pause by double-tapping the left earbud, and summon Siri with a triple-tap of the right earbud.
• One earbud mode: You can use either earbud by itself while the other earbud is in the charging case.
• Game mode: The earbuds have a low latency “game mode” that can be accessed with a triple tap of the left earbud.

Should you upgrade from the Air3 Deluxe to the Air3 Deluxe HS?

If you’re an iPhone user, there is no reason to upgrade as iPhones do not support LDAC. The HS earbuds will still work with iPhone, just without the LDAC audio quality.

If you’re an Android user withe a device that supports LDAC, you may want to upgrade if the Hi-Res Audio is important to you. If you’re not an audiophile and you’re happy with the sound of your current SoundPEATS earbuds, you likely do not need to upgrade.

SOUNDPEATS Air3 vs Air3 Deluxe

What’s the difference between the SOUNDPEATS Air3 and the Air3 Deluxe version? The difference is the charging case. The Air3 Deluxe has a larger charging case that can last up to 22 hours (3.5 charges), compared to 17.5 hours on the Air3 (2.5 charges). The actual earbuds themselves are the same: the earbuds on both models last 5 hours on a single charge and sport the same design and materials.

SOUNDPEATS Air3 vs TrueAir2

You might also be wondering what has changed from SOUNDPEATS TrueAir2 vs the Air3.

Probably the biggest improvement you’ll notice is the addition of the auto-pause function when you remove either earbud. They work similar to the Apple AirPods: when you remove one earbud, your music automatically pauses and then resumes when you return the earbud to your ear.

Another improvement is the addition of the aptX-Adaptive codec. If your phone supports aptX (which is currently limited to certain Android phones), you can take advantage of the high sound quality of the aptX protocol.

The Air 3 also sport a new design, with a slightly shorter stem and a new case that feels more like the AirPods case in that you “drop” the earbuds in stem-first. The charging contacts have been moved to the bottom of the stem.

Since the earbuds themselves are the same from the Air3, the Air3 Deluxe sounds great with a good bass response and clear mids. They are a strong competitor to the Apple AirPods for anyone who likes the form factor and is looking to save some cash.

Should you upgrade from the Air3 to the Air3 Deluxe?

Unless you absolutely need the additional charge from the larger charging case on the Air3 Deluxe, you probably don’t need to upgrade. The sound quality and features are the same between the Air 3 and Air 3 Deluxe; only the charging case is different.

However, if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the Apple AirPods and you have a choice between the Air3 and the Air3 Deluxe, compare the prices and if it’s only a few bucks different, you may as well spring for the larger charging case.

If you’re like me and you previously purchased the SOUNDPEATS TrueAir2 earbuds, you’re probably wondering what’s new with the Air3.

Probably the biggest improvement you’ll notice is the addition of the auto-pause function when you remove either earbud. They work similar to the Apple AirPods: when you remove one earbud, your music automatically pauses and then resumes when you return the earbud to your ear.

Performance

The sound quality is basically identical to the TrueAir2, meaning that the Air3 sounds great with a good bass response and clear mids. I did notice that highs seem to be a hair weaker on the Air3, but I don’t mind it and still think the Air3 sounds great overall. They are a strong competitor to the Apple AirPods for anyone looking to save some cash.

SOUNDPEATS Air3 Features

• Auto-pause: If you remove either earbud, it will automatically pause the music on your phone, then resume it when you place the earbud back in your ear.
• aptX-Adaptive codec: As noted earlier, if your phone supports aptX, you can use this high quality protocol with the Air3.

• Game mode: The earbuds have a low latency “game mode” that can be accessed with a triple tap of the left earbud.

SOUNDPEATS Air3 Battery Life

Each charge gives you up to 5 hours of playback on the earbuds, with the charging case providing an additional 2.5 charges for up to 17.5 hours of playback before you need to find the USB-C charging cord and recharge the case.

The post SoundPEATS Air3 Wireless Earbuds appeared first on Technically Well.

The SoundPEATS TrueAir2 wireless earbuds are the closest alternative I’ve found to the official Apple AirPods. They have an open air design that does not seal to your ear canal, which allows the outside sounds in so you can hear what is going on around you. I prefer this whenever I’m running outside and need to hear the traffic around me.

The SoundPEATS TrueAir2 have a stem like the AirPods and a more matte finish on the exterior. I found the fit to be comfortable like the AirPods even when wearing them for extended periods of time.

The charging case is just a smidge larger than the Apple AirPods, but it is still pocket-friendly. A magnet helps hold the earbuds in place while they’re in the case.

Performance: SoundPEATS TrueAir2 vs Apple AirPods

The sound quality on the SoundPEATS TrueAir2 is very good, with some surprisingly decent bass. The sound quality isn’t quite at the level of the Apple AirPods, but it is very close and I find it more than satisfactory for listening to music while running or doing yard work.

The SoundPEATS TrueAir2 are lacking some of the functions of the Apple AirPods. Unfortunately, there is no auto-pause feature when you remove either earbud. In addition, while the iPhone will show a single, combined battery level of the earbuds, it does not show the battery level of the individual earbuds nor the charging case. In addition, you’re not able to customize the tap functions of the earbuds like you can with the AirPod.

I had purchased the SoundPEATS TrueAir2 for running as I feared that my copious amount of sweat would eventually ruin my AirPods (which thankfully hasn’t happened yet). However, the SoundPEATS TrueAir2 perform great with a solid Bluetooth connection. They are definitely a worthy contender for anyone looking for a cheaper AirPod alternative.

Features

• Touch controls: While you can’t customize the touch controls like you can on the Apple AirPods, I found most of the features I need are already programmed. For example, you can decrease the volume with a single tap of the left earbud (and increase it with a single tap of the right earbud). You can play and pause by double-tapping the left earbud, and summon Siri with a triple-tap of the right earbud.
• One earbud mode: You can use either earbud by itself while the other earbud is in the charging case.
• Game mode: The earbuds have a low latency “game mode” that can be accessed with a triple tap of the left earbud.

Battery Life

The earbuds will last up to 5 hours per charge. The charging case provides 4 additional charges, giving you up to 25 hours of total playback time. The charging case can be recharged with a modern USB-C connection (however, there is no Qi wireless charging).
