About this deal

While charging: Red breathing slowly / 0-20%; yellow breathing slowly / 21-69%; green breathing slowly / 70-99%; solid green / 100% I’ve said it before and will say it again: I don’t particularly dig touch controls for IEMs or earbuds. I often find myself accidentally activating various functions while trying to adjust their position in my ears. The original Air3 were raw and edgy, thundering basslines and harsh clashes through the 14.2mm dynamic driver. Don't expect a similar thing with the HS! This time, the focus has been on improving clarity and resolution, with the trebles far more refined and the basslines much tighter. Lower frequencies, whilst not jettisoned altogether, are much faster and more tangible, with an improved lower-mid depth and far less emphasis on the subbass. This can leave EDM sounding a little less exciting, although you can replicate the sound profile of the original by selecting the Pop preset in the app, and you still benefit from the improved imaging and resolution, with the cleaner higher frequencies on pianos and cymbals still very evident.

The lower midrange does have a slight recession which comes with the V-shaped territory. That said it isn’t so recessed that it is overly veiled. The Air3 is tuned to be a fun and energetic listen and sometimes the midrange gets left out to a degree. That said, male vocals have decent note weight and come across clearly with pretty good energy for a semi in-ear tws. Game Mode ตอนฟังเพลง ไม่งั้นอาจจะมีเสียงซี่ๆได้ เนื่องจากการบีบอัดส่งข้อมูลของ Game Mode ไม่เหมาะกับฟังเพลง The Air3 is not tuned to bring out the finest of details as it is much more of a warm and emotional listen. Saying that, I still feel that some of the minutiae can be heard loud and clear as the overall balance of the Air3 is pretty nice. At times the bass will cover over some of the finer stuff but there is nice clarity in the lower treble of the Air3 which somewhat makes up for any veil or low-end rise. Is the Air3 Deluxe HS worth the asking price? Of all these, the Air3 Deluxe HS are my favorite by far, although for many people (especially commuters), they may well be the least practical. They are a pair of earbuds (or “half-in-ear earbuds,” as Soundpeats officially refers to them) roughly equivalent in form factor to the original Apple AirPods. The SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS are the perfect example of a company going all-in on certain features. These are mid-priced earbuds, and SoundPEATS clearly decided to put their money into the drivers.I was surprised and pleased to see that the midrange of the Air3 Deluxe HS, while it tilts toward the upper midrange, is relatively well-tuned.

The often uncomfortably bright treble means that those sensitive to treble may also want to steer clear of this product. The SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS wireless earbuds have an AirPod-style design. Instead of the battery being enclosed in the main shell, there’s a pair of studs that protrude downwards. These serve to make the buds bottom-heavy, and helps to keep them secure in your ears. Android บางเครื่อง มี LDAC ให้เลือกใช้แต่ ชิบบลูทูธของมือถืออาจจะไม่รองรับ ทำให้เกิดอาการผิดปรกติของเสียงเพลงได้ Everything else has been retained from the original - stems are still 33mm, charge connectors are still at the base, mics are in the same place, etc. This isn't a bad thing - good products like the FIIL CC2 and Huawei Freebuds 3 are too awkward, the FIIL Key and Tronsmart Onyx Ace Pro too loose, and QCY T20 and Soundcore Life Note 3S too bulky - none come close to the usability of the Air3 range - so we can forgive them a little for absence of any creativity here.In terms of call quality, the Deluxe HS is a little way ahead of the other models, certainly worthy of the price uplift. You can hear the difference in my YouTube review (link is at the top) Soundpeats have released a bevy of Hi-Res tws earphones of late and the Air3 HS is no exception. The Air3 HS just so happens to have the Crème de la crème of codes as they opted for LDAC support here. The only other codecs I believe which are supported are AAC & SBC. LDAC provides up to 990 kbs which easily trumps other codes by giving a CD quality listening experience, so long as your device supports the codec. Apple users will have to resort to SBC or switch over to Android like any good audio fan would do. Just kidding, just kidding, we are only having fun. Anyways, the addition of LDAC is a great sight and does certainly make a difference most of the time and equates to a portion of the sound quality. Driver tech and implementation of those drivers as well as tuning does do most of the leg work though. LDAC can also provide up to 24bit/96kHz audio as well. Game mode Obviously fit will be the greatest indicator of whether you will really get a good feel for this region. I don’t want to oversell the bass, but I found the Air3 to have an impactful and tight rumble with decent transient response which doesn’t bloom or cover the midrange but instead it leaves room for that midrange expression. All in all, it’s not bad. The mid bass has a slight bump above the sub-bass but mostly stays in good control and can replay most genres really well. Midrange Soundpeats opted for a mammoth 14.2 mm Bio-Coated Dynamic Driver! Absolutely huge by normal tws standards. This is all I know of the Driver material. I suppose for an open sound like these half-in-ears you need a larger diameter driver to pump as much sound as possible. Chipset

But they are definitely a bass-light, bright-leaning pair of earbuds. They also have some issues in the treble, including a few nasty peaks that can get quite piercing in bright recordings. Bass Soundpeats also offer 'Adaptive EQ', which puts your ears through a hearing test with various frequencies blasted at you, to which you have to tell the app whether you heard 1, 2 or 3 beeps. The profile it delivered to me just reduced the midrange even more, so I defaulted to the standard 10 bar customisable EQ and 9 presets - and the presets are actually quite usable. Aside the Pop and Electronic ones I mentioned previously, some might like Bass Boost, which gives the sub-bass frequencies marginally more depth. Again, there is a full app walkthrough in my YouTube vid. Unboxing the Deluxe HS is definitely a step in the right direction from Soundpeats. After years of good releases being impossible to be given as gifts due to a shabby and flimsy exterior cardboard enclosure, Soundpeats have finally moved to a more premium, robust design, whilst minimising the non-recyclable materials to ensure an enclosure that wouldn't actually look out of place covered in gift wrap and handed out as a Birthday or Christmas present. Welcome to the @regancipher review of the latest addition to SoundPEATS' popular semi-in-ear collective, the Air3 Deluxe HS. Overall, the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS felt a little bit boomy – even with the equaliser set to neutral – and this was quite pleasing when listening to current music styles, but seemed slightly out of place with high-quality jazz and classical productions. The voice of the in-ear information system, which is equipped with a factory reverb, was not particularly likeable to me either – I have heard pleasanter and sonically more intelligible assistant voices.The Air3 Deluxe HS are rated at IPX5, which means they can withstand a “low-pressure water stream from any angle” but should not be immersed. This makes them potentially viable for use during physical activities, although the loose fit will likely be an issue. Sound I like the way the earbuds balance on the table. At a weight of 36.3g with earbuds included, the Air3 Deluxe HS offers great portability. Earbuds I enjoy the little mesh filter in the opening of the capsule. Battery I want to thank Soundpeats and Ellen very much for providing the Air3 HS for a fair and honest review. It’s hard to not be completely impressed with this set. I was not a believer in this style of earphone and Soundpeats completely changed my mind. Fantastic job Soundpeats! I like this feature more than I thought I would, and that is “In-Ear Detection”. It is very useful that the Air3 HS shuts down and pauses whenever I take this set out of my ears. Trust me, you’ll only realize how nice it is when you’ve had it for a while and all of a sudden you have to go without it. For the price this is a feature you don’t normally see. Soundpeats App
