The soundpeats is straight facts and I love them
I can comment on Freebuds SE3, Oppo Enco Buds3 and Soundpeats Air5 (non pro) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1noqlbl/comment/nswtesd/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1noqlbl/comment/nswtesd/) \- Soundpeat Air 5 have ANC, but i barely use this as it only filters certain background noises and eats battery. \- For Aptx Lossless you need a compatibel Snapdragon/Aptx device. Most Windows devices can support Aptx with a registery tweak, as AAC is default, but most certainly not Aptx Lossless. You'll need a seperate -Bluetooth dongle with Aptx for this. \- Soundpeats have about realworld 5 hour battery-life without ANC. Good luck with your choice.
I like Soundpeats Air5. Comfortable and sound really good. They have ANC. They just came out with a lower priced Air5 Lite that doesn't have noise cancelling. I haven't heard them.
I bought another when they upgraded to Bluetooth 5.3. I have my older ones paired with a Vizio TV. They sound really good. I do think the Air5 is even better but they fit my ears ok.
I like the Soundpeats Air5. Haven't tried The Oppo Enco yet. I like the Soundcore k20i in that price range.
I like Soundpeats Air5. Comfortable with balanced sound.
I use Soundpeats Air5. Semi with adjustable ANC. Comfortable with good sound and mics.
I use this type most often and have the k20i and Soundpeats Air5 which I prefer to the newer Lite. My new favorite is the Baseus Bass BS1 NC. Deeper bass and better noise cancellation. LDAC too. Fit my ears comfortably by that's a personal thing. Their performance has surprised me.
I've been using the Soundpeats Air5 since they were released and have been very satisfied with them. Recently got the Baseus bass BS1 NC on a promo deal. They have deeper bass and stronger ANC than expected for this type and priced well.
I use the anc with the Air5 because it increases the bass for my fit. The anc itself is not necessary for my needs. I received the code today and am looking forward to the launch. I have 3 pair of Air3 Deluxe HS with failing batteries. I have bought replacements but they all had charging issues so I returned them to Amazon. They were older stock with Bluetooth 5.2. A very frustrating experience. that I have reported to SoundPeats customer service.
I like these but prefer the Capsule3 Pro+. The xMEMS high frequency drivers give my ears the shimmering crispy highs I need. More comfortable for me too. Either one is a great value. Our ears are all different.
Also like Soundpeats Air5, really love
Soundpeats Air5. Air5 Lite if you don't need ANC. Air 5: Beige and Lavender are sexy colors, but white is available for $47.99. Beige actually has this pinkish/goldish shine to it that looks pretty sleek. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBLMZ5MS Air 5 Lite: https://www.amazon.com/SoundPEATS-Air5-Lite-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B0DNZ1Q57Q/
Hey I will just say that from what I’ve experienced it’s hard to get a lot of bass from open ear buds due to lack of seal (no tips). Just because of sound physics high bass comes from it bouncing around in a closed space. That’s why with headphones, closed off pairs have a lot more bass than open pairs. However, I could maybe recommend the SoundPEATS Air 5 (or air 5 lite) as you could use the app to EQ and add more bass.
I don't know if it's relevant or not. But I am more of a semi-in-ear user as full in ear (rubber knob) buds give me a headache. So in that area, after some homework I came across soundpeats air 4 and air 5. These are good ANC earphones with semi-in-ear design. Air 4 is around 9k and Air 5 can be bought at 13k. I bought air 5 after some reviews. The sound quality is good with a good ANC. (it's not the best as semi-in-ear technically can't cancel noise but does reduce it to a good considerable level).Look it up on the internet check reviews and do consider it.
I have the soundcore k20i cheap earbuds and they do function well mainly for calls because of the mic. Soundpeats Air5 absolutely shit mid range earbuds that don't function well on calls, stuttering bluetooth connection but anc is amazing. Airpods 4th gen ANC, tried the apple ecosystem, that spatial head tracking when connected to 2 devices interrupts the Bluetooth and there's no option to permanently turn it off, haven't fully explored other things about it.
