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.

If you don’t want to have ear pain wearing it for more than 30 minutes than go for Soundpeats Air5. I am using air4 and you don’t even feel you have it simply plugged into your ears. It’s light and doesn’t have rubber tips that makes your ears itchy.

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 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.

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/

I got my pair today and I'm really surprised how great they sound using Spotify and audible on my Pixel 9. I prefer the sound profile to my SoundPeats Air 5s, which are a similar design and price.

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.
