The earphones do a decent, although not perfect job in the way they communicate with the given Bluetooth source – by that I mean, that they have an effective range of 10m (in clear sight of the source), or around 5-8m through walls. I should state that the battery recharge time is rather quick. Overall all these functionalities make a great combo.Īs you already know by now, these are Bluetooth earphones, which means that the earphones are limited to what battery they have on-board – in this case the battery can be recharged and lasts about 8hrs (give or take on your interactions with the earphones – ie. The left earphone takes the charge via a microUSB slot located by the earphones – my only complaint here is that the “cap” protecting the microUSB hole is a little flimsy – over a period of usage, I see this cap falling off, due to the stresses it will be under.Īs we move to the right earphone there’s a lot more going on – with the volume adjustment located on the body of the earphone and also the multifunctional key that is used to turn on, pair (via Bluetooth), and answer/hang-up calls.įinally, there’s also a small mic hole, that’s used to mic up your voice in calls. Moving on from the wire, and straight to the earphones themselves.
Furthermore, the cable noise is extremely minimal and that makes it sport-worthy – by that I mean you won’t be disrupted by any cable noise whilst doing physical activities with your earphones in-ear.
Thus, the cable really does get a huge thumbs up from me, due to the fact that it doesn’t tangle. This would usually also mean that you get cable noise (microphonics), but as the wire is very short and that the cable would naturally be placed under a shirt and behind your back, it’s not a big deal. Starting from the wire itself, it’s designed to be tangle-free, and this comes from the fact that the wire that comes with the earphones is a flat-cable.
The build quality of these earphones is very good – top to bottom, I really like what Soundpeats have done here. The box contents and accessories get a 9/10 – again, only the pouch is really missing here. The only thing missing here is a pouch – but at £17, one can’t complain that much, it’s just something I would have liked to see, especially knowing that these earphones are designed for on-the-go use. I’m going to try and keep this as brief as possible, because the conclusion is pretty much in the title – you should get these earphones.īefore getting into the written review, you can find my video review here: Microphonics (higher ratings means lower cable noise): 9/10
