![]() Sure, the vocal is brought to the front, and the shakers have some texture, but the rest of the percussive elements are quite muddy and lack clarity. With the final few episodes of La Casa de Papel (or Money Heist as we know it outside Spain) approaching, I gave Cecilia Krull's 'My Life is Going On' a blast. Like the T2, you get the impression it was the last thing on their mind - a reflection of the widening utility of earbuds these days. I found them quite the opposite - high hats and kick drums seemed to lack dynamism or punch, which is fine if you're just listening in the background whilst doing some work, but not so much when you want to listen to music exclusively. I've seen some reviews describing them as bright - one even remarked they were too bright, with distinct sibilance. I've been using the T3 for a good few weeks now, and can't quite put my finger on why, but they can veer from engaging and full bodied to distant and somewhat incidental from one track to the next. On the negative side, they are pretty ugly, with a generic matte finish not differentiating them in any way from your average cheap earbuds on Amazon, and it is this area I feel SoundPEATS will really have to work on to progress, as they've gone backwards a bit of late from the attractive, albeit flawed, Sonic.Īudio Quality - 7/10 (for the price paid), 6.5/10 (raw score) This again adds to the really nice ergonomics by being neither too heavy, nor too light. The buds weigh 4.74g (spookily, 1/10th of the case weight!). Hopefully this preamble provides more clarity on the SoundPEATS journey - note, this is just my interpretation, and is not from SoundPEATS themselves. ![]() The TrueAir2 are seeing a slow obsolescence, replaced by the TrueAir2+ and Air3, which added wireless charging and a smaller case respectively. The semi-in-ear evolution is easier to follow. Then they also added the H2, the dual-driver (but non ANC) BT 5.2 traversal. The older stem-based in-ear offerings, the Q and TrueCapsule, were superseded by the T3, which added ANC and Bluetooth 5.2. Both sides are hybrid driver, nothing too complicated there. I've put them on the far side, as they would represent SoundPEATS' 'Top Tier'. The TrueEngine 3SE, still great buds, are more simple to map - they have been superseded across a slow transition by the H1 and H1 Premium. To replace them, SoundPEATS have expanded their range laterally rather than direct like-for-likes, adding three mid-tier equivalents - the T2 (button-style with ANC and Bluetooth 5.1), the Mini (Bluetooth 5.2, Elevoc AI, Great Battery) and the Sonic range, which kinda traverses the TrueEngine and the aforementioned trio, adding aptX-adaptive, Bluetooth 5.2 and great battery, but sticking to dynamic drivers only. These products were early Realtek chip (mostly) Bluetooth 5.0 releases, that have simply been overtaken by technology. To summarise, here is how I see their range progression:Īt the top, you have some of the early products like the TrueShift, TrueFree and TrueWings. So these factors need to be taken into consideration - don't believe every review on YouTube, no matter how accomplished the reviewer is (and how many followers they have). Plus, if you don't know what's coming next - maybe SoundPEATS also have a full hybrid ANC stem-based product released soon too, in the same way Tronsmart released the Apollo Air and Onyx Apex at the same time - then it might make more sense. The T3 shouldn't be looked upon as an upgrade to the T2, so don't judge them that way - they are an upgrade from the Q or TrueCapsule.Īlso, it is confusing to critisize them for having weak ANC compared to the T2 - they are a totally different form factor and chipset, and not even advertising stronger ANC anyway. SoundPEATS are currently revamping all of their portfolio, so a lot of new 5.2 chip-based products are coming in to replace the Realtek 5.0 chip products from 2018-2020. That will probably result in a slightly more critical review, unfortunately for SoundPEATS!įirst things first, there are some very confusing reviews going around, such as Gamesky's review of the T3, which have failed to grasp the direction of SoundPEATS product range. ![]() I've had these for a while, so my datapoints are much longer than other earbuds.
