SoundPEATS - H3

For noise cancellation bose qc ultra gen 2 for sound quality go for soundpeats h3

These are amazing! I love these! They sound the best on android using LDAC Bluetooth codec. I don’t listen to anything using AAC. I use android specifically for the Apple Music at the gym. iPhone is my primary device

hey, late but just got these to review from Amazon. My verdict is that they are pretty awesome! Wasn't quite fond of the original sound signature but with EQ these blow my WF1000XM5 (twice the H3's price point) out of the water both in sound quality and ANC.

Out the box they are pretty flat, if not extremely unremarkable. With the Harman target EQ, they're some of the best tws sets I've tried (I've used air pod pros, all the Sony wf series). Very detailed and you can hear a lot of tiny micro details you only get from iems. Super engaging listen and the vocals are very good, especially for male-forward tracks. Out of the box, the instrument separation is the star of the show - several tiers above the WFXM5s but even better after EQ - as expected from well tuned hybrid config monitors. I like my sound profile a bit bassier so I raised the lower frequencies by quite a lot. The H3's handle this with no issue whatsoever and responds very well without muffled vocals you get from cheaper sets. However, I found Soundpeats has horrendous pre-configs. You'll really want to play around with your ears to find your sound profile. One thing I'm noticing though, is the battery drains rather quick. Pretty sure this is because of the multi driver config and ANC deadly combo.

I clocked in around 4.5 ish hours. This was optimized for the very best sound quality, so LDAC on and ANC on all times. I also had to set it up, so that might be why. I'll have to see after a couple cycles if the battery adapts but will definitely report back.

My phone doesn't support Aptx Lossless - in fact neither Samsung nor Apple does. And I imagine there is a marginal difference between the codecs. I also meant best sound quality in noisy environments (ie, taking the train), which is what these earbuds are designed for and does well.

I see. Thanks for sharing this, I wasn't aware of this at all. Definitely explains this set's issues.

Saw you added a couple questions. Here's my quick impressions. Not the bassiest headphones I've tried but from what I hear, the bass is accurate and clean.There is definitely a rumble but I would say it is more subdued in favor of accurate bass, even from my EQ settings. Soundstage is definitely above average. A/B tested it with my XM5s and they're definitely leagues above. They won't be to the point of full-sized cans but they are superb. I listened to a couple Hans Zimmer tracks from Live in Prague and you can really pick out the details from the audience as well as little cymbal crashes and snares. In other tracks where you have two vocalists side by side you can hear a clear separation between both the right and left channels. Sound separation, done tastefully well on the H3. It's probably the highlight of this set. I can list some examples from some track examples if you'd like but essentially it does let a lot of micro details in to the mix. Likely due to the treble sparkle but also not sibilant or peaky at all. Very comparable to a lot of high end iems I've tried and I've tried a lot!

I am not an audiophile scientist. My guage for audio quality is how the music makes me feel while listening and the cost of entry for each level of feel. I also have 3 categories that I have alway used for audifonos EDC, listening , and production. IEMs don't fall into production range for me except for audition on every piece of gear I can while production is being mixed for me. I have only had the H3 for about 3 hours and am currently swapping between my c3p+ and the H3 and replaying parts of tracks over and over. My wife is worried about my mental health this morning. As with all IEMs the H3 needs to be EQ'd right away. For me LDAC enabled is a must or they can't keep up with the c3p+ at all, the adaptive hearing test in the Soundpeats app is worth running, and I ended up with the same Focal tips from my c3p+ (no idea if they fit in the case yet). The H3 is the clear winner for listening. I am impressed by the instrument separation and quality in general. Bass is just deep enough to give me the feels with hip-hop and house music. Rock and classical, while not my daily, are very enjoyable and again the impressive separation. Sepultura and Slayer get a triple 🤘 For me the H3 is not a multi-tool like the c3p+. My wife can hear the audio coming from H3, that is a big deal for me for public usage. LDAC must be enabled to get the audio quality and single device paring is also a big deal for me for an EDC IEM. I see myself using the H3 for listening at home use only (maybe airplanes too). The c3p+ will remain my EDC so I can still bump on public transportation privately, have dual device pairing for working, and ill definitely be able to wait until I am home to use the H3 to listen to new (to me) tracks. I hope this helps someone looking to choose an EDC or a pure audio IEM in the price range. I paid $111 (current exchange) for the H3 and I believe around $50 for cp3p+.

I’m on a Samsung phone too and went down that rabbit hole recently. Out of the ones you mentioned, I’ve tried the Buds FE and MTW3. ehh both okay but not great. The Buds sounded a bit muddy and the MTW3 got uncomfortable after a while. Saw a few people online talking about the Soundpeats H3 and decided to give it a shot. Compared to those two, I’d honestly rate it higher. Sound’s surprisingly open, and ANC on my S23 works way better than I expected.Plus no stems, simple fit, and stays comfy for long sessions. I’ve had it on through a full workday without feeling sore. Definitely worth checking out if you’re still deciding.

H3 are ok for the price , but best sounding meaning you will be listening to music for hours cause it sounds so good is the Noble Rex5.

For me it sound unnatural especially the highs, too much emphasis on the 8k region i think. I thought the liberty 4 sound worse but h3 sound worst than liberty 4 to my ear

If you have total focus on sound quality, go for H3, without fear of making mistakes and be happy. It also has a good ANC between 7-8/10 and very good codecs such as LDAC and APTX Lossless, for better use always use APTX Lossless (if you use an iPhone, buy a Fiio BT11, I use it and it has a super stable connection via APTX Lossless), you won't want to have a new headphone anytime soon, in terms of sound quality they are at the level of headphones costing 300 dollars or more.

Below is my current EQ for the H3 50 Hz: +1 dB; 160 Hz: +3 dB; 350 Hz: +2 dB; 800 Hz: -0.5 dB; 1.6 kHz: -3 dB; 2.8 kHz: -1 dB; 4.6 kHz: +3 dB; 8 kHz: +1.75 dB; 12 kHz: +2.7 dB; 17 kHz: +0.5 dB Using Aptx Lossless and a good foam tip, it's been successful, I'm really enjoying it. Then tell me what you think.

Both the H3 and earfun air pro 4 plus are good options. The earfun are better all rounders. The H3 are targeted towards sound.

No joke the Soundpeats H3, they sound phenomenal for the price and for me, they rival tws that cost 300+. The detail retrievel, dynamic range, and seperation are superb. The clarity is also very good as well. Bass rumbles when it needs to and the overall tuning is very natural. Also they respond really well to EQ so thning them to your liking should be just fine.

Hey BJ, I'd be VERY surprised if Soundpeats don't have a sale for the 11/11...as they tend to look for "legitimate" reasons to provide their products at a discount on a regular basis. I personally have both the Earfun Air Pro 4 and the Soundpeats H3. And mate, I reckon that for most people, you really can't go wrong with either one. While they both have great sound, the H3 to me DOES sound better. I do find they have more detail, subtlety and more seeming separation in their sound stage - and you'd kind of expect that with their driver set up. But the AirPro4s are DEFINITELY no slouch....and at least for me, they also do have a better battery when using ANC and LDAC. In the end, I reckon it just depends on your specific needs and preferences (e.g. you prefer bud or stem style, size preference, your ears, etc)? The H3s do NOT go with me when I head top the gym or out for a run. While they're comfy, they're too big (for me) when I'm very active. So I'll use the Earfuns (or one of my smaller Tozos - eg NC3) when getting active. For conferences / events, I always bring my Earfun Pro 4s just in case the organisers are utilising Auracast Broadcast Audio. I still think it's very early days for that tech, but I'm glad I have something that can handle it in my arsenal in case it IS being used. One final comment about the Earfuns. I find VERY little difference when using the various EQ pre-sets. It's there.....yet incredibly subtle. Yet, with the H3s and my other earbuds, the difference between say "Rock" and "Classical" is VERY obvious. Good luck with the choice buddy!

That’s awesome. The H3 sound good for sure. My biggest issue with them in the transparency mode isn’t great and they really hurt my ears to wear them.

I own the soundpeats H3 and the technics az80 ($150 USD on Amazon right now) and the technics 80 are better in every way.

Oh I’ve definitely watched just about everything picky audio has out. While I’ve played with the eq settings and think the H3 is absolutely fantastic in sound quality. I personally can’t hear the fall off the AZ80 has according to his rankings.

Need more detail on the type of user and listener you are. If purely only sound is all you care about, get the new SoundPeats H3. They're actually insane for the price, with still usable ANC. if you're using buds for working out and use all the features, I suggest soundcore liberty 4 NC or Nothing Ear a

Soundpeats H3. $107 on Amazon. Sound quality is great, software is decent, firmware is absolute shit. Probably my #1 pick if you want good sound without spending heaps.

\>the soundpeats noise-cancelling earbuds FYI these aren't *the* soundpeats noise-cancelling earbuds, they're *a* set of noise-cancelling earbuds. In particular, they're the SoundPeats H3. SoundPeats has LOTS of models, many of which have ANC, like the Capsule Pro 3 and 3+, Air4/5 Lite/Pro, and others. That said, you can read my review of the H3 here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1nnx5lz/soundpeats\_h3\_revisited\_a\_minireview\_and\_why\_im/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Earbuds/comments/1nnx5lz/soundpeats_h3_revisited_a_minireview_and_why_im/) I think they're pretty good for the price, but I don't think they're the amazing buds that many reviewers propose them to be. I do think that they're one of the better buds for ANC at their offered price.

Purchased one almost a month ago and tye sound quality is amazing. it's by no means bass heavy but the clarity is next level. I've only had bass heavy earbuds eg sony wf xm3s but I did own a pair of Bowers and Wilkins headphones so I can hear the resemblance of the H3s to it

Long time SP fan. These are very good and seem to be a bit better than my current goat the H1s (which I don't think you can get anymore). The sound on these is very robust and balanced. The H1s manage to isolate bass in a way that blows my mind still, but the H3s are no slouch. The style and form factor are not super important to me, but I give that a B-. I think they have to increase the housing size to accommodate the ever-larger drivers, battery and other tech - and I'm not mad about that

Can't add much more, fantastic sound, buy these.

I like my Soundpeats H3. Almost as good (but not quite) as my Thieaudio Clairvoyance.

SOUNDPEATS H3 is really good.

OnePlus Buds 4 and Soundpeats H3. Both have excellent sound. The OnePlus Buds 4 have excellent ANC and transparency modes too. The Soundpeats H3 can have superior sound to everything on this list, if tuned correctly. Their other features are more middle of the road though. Both options are excellent choices. I have both and enjoy their great sound quality and features.

The OnePlus Bud 4 are excellent all around earbuds. The sound quality (even the bass), battery life, ANC, and transparency are all pretty awesome. I also own the Soundpeats H3 and when tuned in the EQ, they win out for sound quality alone. The battery life, ANC, and transparency are all just OK though.

Try the OnePlus Buds 4. They’re fantastic at EVERYTHING. Sound quality is top notch (especially when tuned in the EQ), battery life is great, ANC is great, and the transparency mode is the best I’ve heard yet. If you’re going for sound quality alone, the Soundpeats H3 are the absolute best. 3 driver system. When tuned in the EQ, they sound phenomenal. Picky Audio actually put them as #1 in sound quality even above Sony, Technics, and Denon. The only drawback is the battery life, ANC, and transparency are only good, not great. I’ve also tried the Moondrop Golden Ages 2 and they were surprisingly good, but their app performance is abysmal. So many bugs. I’ve got the Moondrop Robin’s coming today and will be curious how they stack up. The Soundpeats H3 and Moondrop Robin’s have an IEM style bud with no stem, whereas the OnePlus Buds 4 and Moondrop Golden Ages 2 both have traditional stem-style buds. I actually ended up loving the comfort and style of the Soundpeats H3 the most (will see about the Moondrop Robin later today).

I’ve got 2 recommendations. If you want an earbud that is pretty great at everything (sound, ANC, transparency), then the OnePlus Buds 4 ($100) are the choice. If you want the absolute best sound that rivals the Technic AZ-100 ($300), but only has pretty good ANC and transparency, then get the Soundpeats H3 ($116). After a little tuning, they really do have phenomenal sound quality. I own them both and am using the H3’s the most right now.

Both the options I gave give very good, clean, bass. I like electronic music and bass is a big part of that. I’ve been very happy with how my electronic music sounds with both. I still prefer the Soundpeats H3’s though.

Sound is pretty subjective, so I’m glad you found earbuds that work for you. I can’t give an honest opinion of the H3’s vs. the Technics (either AZ80 or AZ100) because I don’t own them. My comment was based on Picky Audio putting the H3’s on top of everything for sound quality alone. Here’s the review that has them beating the AZ100’s for sound quality. https://youtu.be/Gq4eToakUME?si=8-QqmhOgbNygYKVk. Just make sure to jump to 08:50 where he has a list and ranking of a ton of earbuds. The H3’s are #1 for sound quality alone.

The OnePlus Buds 4 are great-at-everything earbuds. I bought the Soundpeats H3’s, and the sound (when tuned in the EQ) is definitely better, but everything else is just OK. The OnePlus Buds 4 really deliver on EVERYTHING.

Probably the OnePlus Buds 4. When I’m at home I usually grab the Soundpeats H3 for listening, but I take the OnePlus Buds 4 with me when I’m out and about because the battery life, ANC, and transparency mode are all that much better.

OnePlus Buds 4 if you want something that’s got great sound quality, battery life, ANC, and transparency mode. $100. Soundpeats H3 if you want the best sound possible (when tuned in the EQ) but only OK battery life, ANC, and transparency mode. $130.

H3 by far , search picky audio on you tube (review h3)

Just got them yesterday. Much better than my Samsung Buds+. I listen to audiobooks and music from my phone. Today I was at Dunkin and it's a noisy place with their music and A/C. The ANC did a nice job of blocking it all out. 10% coupon at Amazon make these hard to pass up.

been using these for a bit too. anc’s honestly better than i expected, blocks out the usual office noise and people talking around me pretty well.

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.

They suck. Only the sound quality is a bit decent.

Honestly, not as good as I was expecting.

Been using sound peats. I recommend their anc
