LDAC is not obviously noticeable but subtle in most music. However, it is most noticeable in FLAC/WAV ASMR files. LDAC really improves the asmr experience.
Recently bought the Air 3 Deluxe HS for my Galaxy S21 Ultra. The sound quality is good, especially when streaming Apple Music in regular Lossless (haven't tried the Hi-Res one). I think the LDAC codec will work mostly on Android devices, but on iOS devices will work on AAC codec instead.
The Air3 Deluxe HS does a great job for a non Apple device. Great sound and noise-cancelling. I think it's the best earbuds for less than $50, but even better than most that cost over one hundred dollars. The App needs to be updated, so it doesn't have issues when you use it.
Thanks for the upload! The issue is that bluetooth audio is the second encoding and it's literally the same as, say, transcoding mp3 to aac. As we all know lossy to lossy is bad and this is what is happening with bluetooth audio. This is why I do not mind to listen to my 128kbps Opus with LDAC: The smaller the second generation loss the better, and I do indeed notice a subtle difference in select details compared to bt aac. Delivering 128k Opus with 990k LDAC may look weird but it's the closest to getting the Opus 1 to 1 onto the earbud! I'm longing for the day Opus gets employed in the bluetooth world itself.
This one opened my eyes about using BT earbuds! So much talk about CODECS and many times we forgot that BT Audio is REENCODING the source! It's like video "transcoding" (that i avoid at all costs, because the source is generally reencoded - who has bluray anyway?? :D)
This video saved my user experience with my Edifier Neo buds pro. I'm getting frequent audio cut-offs using LDAC codec with my Lenovo Legion 2 phone. It's very annoying. After changing the codec to AAC at the system settings/developers option, no more sound cutoff. And it didn't reduce the sound quality imo. I'm not an audiophile. Just an avg Spotify listener.
@@dexterm7666 I agree. I can’t hear the difference between ldac and sbc/aac. I’d much rather the more stable connection and the better battery life that you get with the so called ‘inferior’ codecs. I am beginning to suspect that LDAC is marketing snake oil.
@@TomMurphy-gx7zr it's not snake oil. Ya'll listening via streaming which is already a hell of an experience. To have a smooth experience, it's better to use local files and preferably lossless like flac, wav, etc. I have both lossless and lossy which is m4a (aac), opus, flac and wav. I can say LDAC does make a difference compared to AAC but not for Aptx. LDAC/Aptx improve sound quality by 10%~ is what I would say. This is Sony WH-1000XM4 and Sabbat E12 Ultra
I can't decide whether I should get this or the FIIL CC Nano. The soundpeats seems to have a better sound quality, but the design makes me gripe on the FIIL more. Can anyone suggest if the sound quality has a huge difference or not? My other consideration is the mic quality (which I think both work fine).
Salamat pagi! My friend! The inner workings of the buds themselves are the things most of us that may more tech savy. I am glad you did the research and shared this most misunderstood subject.
I can confirm Android defaults LDAC to "Adaptive", but after forcing it to 990/909 and toggling down to 330/303, testing with some high-res files of different genres, I can't hear the difference with these speakers. It still sounds better than AAC. Open ear buds are rare these days, so these are some of the best you can get these days at any price. They DESTROY the $150 Sony Linkbuds in sound quality, for anybody comparing them. I skipped the sketchy SoundPeats app, you don't need it if your phone has its own EQ app.
Wow! Thanks for such a good explanation of the codecs and sound! But.. with Soundpeats.. I have always said they really need to put the effort that do with their hardware into their app support to.. as it is really lagging behind with the competition! Especially when you own a few pairs of their ear buds.. you notice it. Nicely done.. 👍
When the source is aac and the codec receiver is tuned on aac does it re encode or does it play natively ? Can't find this info. On the other hand if the source is lossless LDAC takes obviously (at least if we consider a higher bitrate to be more efficient than AAC @250 kbps for instance) advantages over SBC Aptx etc. otherwise totally useless imo
Nice review! I've agreed on almost all of your points. But I have some minor refining. 1) Your statement at 01:33 "if you have Android 8 and above you will have LDAC build-in" is not 100% correct. The quote you've sited "enabling every OEM to integrate this standard into their own Android devices freely" means that OEM have to hire software developers to do the job. In the real world there are Android devices ver.8 and above without LDAC because developers have to implement LDAC codec support. 2) 60 ms of LDAC delay you've measured in a latency test was highly likely not a LDAC codec (or at least not the latency of LDAC itself) but some other codec because in published tests LDAC do not capable of such low delays, usually it measures above 200 ms. It's hard to verify which codec really was used in certain time, but checking Android Developers settings after the test (after you switch to gaming mode and stays in this mode) may help. Also such low latency could be a software sync of RUclips - many videoplays provides software methods of audio/ video synchronization in the case of Bluetooth connection.
How is the case size compared to Airpods gen 2? That's honestly the most important part for me, not in anyway an audiophile but I need to be able to carry around the case in my watch pocket without it being annoying or in the way.
I have 2 units of Soundpeats Air3 (4 buds = 2 left buds + 2 right buds) one unit's left bud's battery is gone, another unit's right bud's battery is gone, so can I merge the good one's to a unit ?? I mean now the situation is faulty left + working right = one unit of Air3, and working left + faulty right = another unit of Air3. But I want to merge the good buds into a unit, possible??
Its all in the cymbals. That's where I can hear a difference with LDAC, if any, and maybe 3% max. As all things audio go, law of diminishing returns is in effect, hardware and software matter, and our brain has its own DSP that sometimes just gets wonky and tricks us. Sound wise, LDAC doesnt make as much of a difference as it did 5+years ago and now that everything is truly wireless its hard to justify its use, especially on semi-in ears. LDAC receiver on a Fiio or Qudelix bluetooth amp with wired iems, now thats a different story. Thanks for the review!
Completely agree with you on all points! I personally use LDAC on my FiiO BTR5 to make the best out of bluetooth (not to forget set it at 990kbps) I would love to hear the differences back then but thanks for the pointer! Will definitely focus on the cymbals when comparing codecs next 😁
This is a great topic!! If the driver and tune is good enough that it can benefit from getting more bandwidth, only then LDAC is worth the power consumption..
Absolutely! But it’s quite a sensitive one haha Let’s say we’re talking of flagships from Sony, NUARL, or even the Moondrop Alice I think they might be able to show a clearer difference and make it worth the costs But again it’s a very personal thing, and some might be able to perceive the difference enough that they turn it on even if they have 3 hours something battery left, but hey if you enjoy it then I’m happy right! Haha
Good 👍🏽 But, it's been a long time since the Airpod 2 are no longer a reference in the world of half in ear, I think most of us would have liked to have a vs with the Airpod 3 in terms of sound quality. 🙏🏽
Yeah I was thinking about the 2nd Gen AirPods comparison but at the moment its the best I could do. Having said that I'll try and see if I can get the 3rd gen next!
Hi, bought my soundpeats air3 deluxe hs with your guidance. But I have a problem having it connected with an app in my iPhone, how do set equaliser using iOS? Also, it seems like my right pair gets drain faster compare to the other one.
My air3 deluxe hs always stutters or out of range when my phone is in my pocket or atleast 2 meters distance. Should I return this? Cos it's so buggy for me
What pair of earbuds would you recommend to buy for about 60 dollars. And which ones for 30 dollars. I'm looking at soundpeats mini (30 dollars) or should I invest in soundpeats mini pro (60 dollars). Also I see that there is soundpeats mini pro hs. Which one is the best for 60 dollars and which one for 30 dollars? Thank you
Have you found a solution to sound shifting from right to left earbuds? I have this problem now and can't seem to fix it by switching from EQ presets and custom EQs. My Air3 DHS now has unbalanced sound.😢
What is difference between SOUNDPEATS Air 3 and SOUNDPEATS Air 3 Deluxe HS? Do You recomment for me SOUNDPEATS Air 3 Deluxe HS or find something other like 50$ price?
Just got my hands on them but I'm kinda disappointed with their sound loudness but sound quality is top-notch.. so anything that I'm missing to increase the sound loudness?
I'm using TrueAir 2 now and I like its sound profile so much! So, Is this Air 3 Deluxe HS is even better than TrueAir 2 or TrueAir 3 or Air3 or Air3 Pro?
Thank you for this video review, I am Planning to buy nextweek between Soundpeats air3 deluxe or Sabbat x12 ultra 2022 version, i was wondering which of these 2 has a better bass and sound quality?
i thought i have a defective unit but now i know its really a cons of Air 3 Deluxe HS the sudden break of the sound balance between the left and right earbuds, its annoying i hope software update fix it..
I think that most people doesn't even know what is a codec... LDAC just allows more data transmitted in the same time than AAC or Aptx, and a wider sampling frequency. So if the speaker is bad, it will be worse because you will ear more noise. In this case, these tws seem to be good enough. For 50$ you also have the Fiil T1 pro or lite which sounds better but without anc or english prompt
bought the redmi buds pro 4, a week old now and i think features the same as these. has LDAC too but to me the volumes are so low with TWS these days, seems like air pods pro lives up to it's name?
Thank you so much for this video, i have been looking for this comparison since they launched, and who better than you to talk about it (my taste in sound is pretty similar to yours, so you are my first option in the youtube tws world lol) So, just to be totally sure, I have a stuborn question: . . . . Does the HS sound better in sbc than the OG in AptX Adaptive? 🤔
Hahaha hey man, I’m glad I made it in time! And yeah just to really nail it down once more, the HS sounds better than the OGs even on AptX Adaptive In my experience where AptX Adaptive really shines is when it can automatically reach low latency while gaming but QCC3040 is not it (at least you need QCC3046 like on Air3 Pro) This is something real useful cause I’m too lazy to turn on game mode (haha well jk only sometimes), but sound quality wise to be honest it’s too small to discern, and in all seriousness SBC is just fine 😆
Air3 Deluxe is their best earphones to date! Got mine last week and love it so much..I got my Wife a pair as well. This video was amazing because I cross shopped them against Apple's Airpod Pro 2 as well. May as well save the money! These are amazing 👏🏾 Have you tested any of the Airpod clones like the HuiLian H2Sultra? Would love to see how they compare to these since the price point is the same
10:47 Not to be that guy but Aptx & Aptx Adaptive has a much lower latency than SBC. This test should have compared the LDAC and APTX Adaptive latency.
Given that it's the same headset, would you pay more (like 10$ more) for an upgrade from SBC to LDAC + better noise cancelling and wireless hi res? Talking about edifier w820nb
AptX doesn’t necessarily mean low latency, there is a specific version of it called AptX LL that does, but even basic SBC can be made very low latency (around 150ms total, 50ms you said is just on the earbuds, not considering the phone) And even lower nowadays you can look for LC3 codec, or those with dedicated dongles that bypass the phone latency
There are different frequencies in my app EQ and I see on reddit that other have the same. Is it after some update? Could you recommend some new EQ config? Is the Soundpeats preset ok after firmware update?
I still can understand when Nerding about IEM & DAC But when it came to TWS is too complicated for me especially About their SQ since Codec is a thing on TWS There is Quality on ANC & Ambience mode too, I started to give up on TWS, Nekocake SE is the last TWS i bought Now decided to back on Wired with Truthear Hexa with Moondrop Dawn DAC Still dunno if you could feel the difference between Hi-Res on TWS or no, Unlike IEM + DAC
Haha tell me about it, hopefully I can try out the Truthear Hexa soon since man there are so much good words around it, but I agree in the IEM world a good DAC will really make the difference, although some of the cheaper ones may be hard to differentiate, I would just say go for the built-in dongle 😂
@@namedkenn The bass sounds like Truthear Zero's bass because it uses the same DD, even though the tuning is different. The bass extension is great, the bass is fast The mid is a balance between a female and male, a bit warm and thick. The position is not too intimate. The male vocals are the right weight, thick and it's just really good for the price, the female vocals are also sweet Treble sounds really good, Clean, Extended & Airy (good deal when you looking alternative from Planar IEM) (Tested with Poco X3 Pro + Moondrop Dawn DAC & music player UAPP)
Great video thank you so much for the explaining. I really have a difficulty in choosing which one to buy. I usually use the earphones for asmr and gaming can you please tell me if i should by the air 3 deluxe or deluxe hs on any other model
Great review as usual, how do these compare to the SOUNDPEATS TrueAir 2 ? I love the TureAir 2 but if I talk on the phone and it's windy, the noise suppression cuts out my voice.
Goto android setting->about phone-> tap the phone version text 10 times to open developers mode-> go to dev mode -> look for bluetooth codec to change it
first thing I bought the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS but then after various videos that talk about aptx adaptive I bought the Air 3..... I was disappointed they cost almost the same but the quality of the material of the air 3 it seems cheaper. as far as the sound is concerned, trust me you don't notice the difference..... I repeat, they cost the same; better to take the deluxe hs because they have more battery and the material seems more premium
Thanks for such good video you are the best. I want to ask you i have the tronsmart spunky beat and The sound for me is amazing but for phone calls sucks.can you please tell me air3 deluxe hs is better in sound quality?? Can you suggest me one with spunky beat sound quality or better but i can make calls with no problem to hear me?? Thanks
I have never owned a pair of headphones/earbuds with LDAC capability. I do own Sony headphones and OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 earbuds that use aptX HD. I recently switched to iPhone, but kept my OnePlus 7 Pro because of the better support of Bluetooth audio CODECS vs Apple still using SBC.
Thank you very much for the info and review. So, would you say this Air3 Deluxe HS has the best sound quality of all open earphones in the market? Would't you recommend any other, independently of the price tag and regardless of other features such as ANC?
I can’t claim as such as everyone’s got their own tastes but detail wise it is one of the best I’ve yet to hear, at least for a half in-ear And of course we don’t talk about ANC cause naturally a half in-ear purpose is to let you hear your surroundings
I recently used Haylou W1 which I bought on your recommendation and I love the sounds of it. Now I want to know if there is any tws earbud better than W1 in Soundpeats lineup for upgrading. Please give me a worthy recommendation as I'm your die hard fan. 😍
For me, i bought the sony XM4's, which also have LDAC support. The wireless range is insane. I can go to the batthroom approximately 15 meters and 3 walls between my pc and my earphones and have absolutely no stutter or even noticable decline in audio quality. Greetings from germany! I mean the audio quality from the xm4's is rather midrange, but i bought them mainly for noise cancelation while programming at the office.
Thanks! Actually it goes back to the listener and what suits their tastes right 😁 the Sony XM4s are actually one of the rare ones that has acceptable battery life on LDAC, although it comes at the cost of well… size haha
@@namedkenn that`s right every time i use ldac i wonder what people say about battery and ldac it does really desrve the cost size is not a proplem with spinfit medium size i`m 176 cm tall and i found them very compatible with my ear size body ratio i open my mouth a little and push them they are very comfort and secure🤩
Hey man. I love your videos .. But i have a suggestion.. You do compare the mic of airpods pro vs others. Next video , we would like to see you enable noise canceling in airpods pro( it only enabled on phone calls and using iphone) Please do a comparison in real phone calls
Personally I'm skeptical about LDAC in tiny earbuds. I have some over hear, overpriced, Sopy headphones with LDAC. it's noticable and it sounds amazing. But what good would be the LDAC codec in drivers I doubt will take advantage of it. I had some wired earbuds that were Hi-Res certified. But they were wired and they were on the big side. They had like 5 drivers or something like that. But now there are this really tiny Bluetooth earbuds. They fit the BT and DAC and battery in. They can't really fit that much driver. I did not expect the latency of LDAC and game mode on to be sooo low. Wow.
So does soundpeats mini earbuds series use the same concept ？ Like mini，mini pro and mini pro hs🤣 Btw which one do you recommend？ Or any other suggestion for soundpeats earbud？😬
LDAC is not obviously noticeable but subtle in most music. However, it is most noticeable in FLAC/WAV ASMR files. LDAC really improves the asmr experience.

That was a pretty great test/review! I'm impressed by the mic quality of this Deluxe HS.

bought the redmi buds pro 4, a week old now and i think features the same as these. has LDAC too but to me the volumes are so low with TWS these days, seems like air pods pro lives up to it's name?
Thank you so much for this video, i have been looking for this comparison since they launched, and who better than you to talk about it (my taste in sound is pretty similar to yours, so you are my first option in the youtube tws world lol)
So, just to be totally sure, I have a stuborn question:
.
.
.

Does the HS sound better in sbc than the OG in AptX Adaptive? 🤔
Hahaha hey man, I’m glad I made it in time! And yeah just to really nail it down once more, the HS sounds better than the OGs even on AptX Adaptive
In my experience where AptX Adaptive really shines is when it can automatically reach low latency while gaming but QCC3040 is not it (at least you need QCC3046 like on Air3 Pro)
This is something real useful cause I’m too lazy to turn on game mode (haha well jk only sometimes), but sound quality wise to be honest it’s too small to discern, and in all seriousness SBC is just fine 😆
Air3 Deluxe is their best earphones to date! Got mine last week and love it so much..I got my Wife a pair as well. This video was amazing because I cross shopped them against Apple's Airpod Pro 2 as well. May as well save the money! These are amazing 👏🏾
Have you tested any of the Airpod clones like the HuiLian H2Sultra?
Would love to see how they compare to these since the price point is the same
okay2 i'm buying the HS now, thank u!
Hope you enjoy it!
10:47 Not to be that guy but Aptx & Aptx Adaptive has a much lower latency than SBC. This test should have compared the LDAC and APTX Adaptive latency.
I cant even get Ldac to stay on for my s10+ and aptx is greyed out. I give up.
Given that it's the same headset, would you pay more (like 10$ more) for an upgrade from SBC to LDAC + better noise cancelling and wireless hi res? Talking about edifier w820nb
Worth it🎉, has SBC n LDAC 🎉u can chg codec LDAC to SBC if Don t like it
Not sure if it’s technically possible for the game mode to have 50ms latency without aptx codec on iphone
AptX doesn’t necessarily mean low latency, there is a specific version of it called AptX LL that does, but even basic SBC can be made very low latency (around 150ms total, 50ms you said is just on the earbuds, not considering the phone)
And even lower nowadays you can look for LC3 codec, or those with dedicated dongles that bypass the phone latency
There are different frequencies in my app EQ and I see on reddit that other have the same. Is it after some update? Could you recommend some new EQ config? Is the Soundpeats preset ok after firmware update?
It depend on the phone you used even if the phone support all those codecs if the connections is not strong it can sound as loud what you're expecting
Not sure what point we're talking about here, but codec doesn't have anything to do with loudness right
Which one (deluxe HS vs. non deluxe) would you recommend for the google pixel 6a when both of them are the same price?
Good pm sir kenneth. In your own honest opinion, which is better Soundpeats air3 deluxe hs or soundpeats sonic pro? Thank you
Which models os soundpeats support multipoint functionality? Air3? Deluxe? HS?
Which is the best headphone without silicone? The microphone is very important to me, but?
At the moment here is my recommendations ruclips.net/video/rftgiuA7WbY/видео.html
Is the custom eq settings for air3 deluxe hs in the video is the preferred settings?
Yes the custom EQ is what I compared to the other earbuds and it is the one I recommend
Nice bro thank you for your recommendation 👍
Kenneth, what do you think is best for call and listening to rock music between Earfun Air S and Soundpeats Air 3 Pro?
Nice and usefull informations, thanks a lot.
Great review as always! Will you be reviewing the Mini Pro HS as well? Can you provide a comparison between them?
I still can understand when Nerding about IEM & DAC
But when it came to TWS is too complicated for me especially About their SQ since Codec is a thing on TWS
There is Quality on ANC & Ambience mode too,
I started to give up on TWS, Nekocake SE is the last TWS i bought
Now decided to back on Wired with Truthear Hexa with Moondrop Dawn DAC
Still dunno if you could feel the difference between Hi-Res on TWS or no,
Unlike IEM + DAC
Haha tell me about it, hopefully I can try out the Truthear Hexa soon since man there are so much good words around it, but I agree in the IEM world a good DAC will really make the difference, although some of the cheaper ones may be hard to differentiate, I would just say go for the built-in dongle 😂
@@namedkenn
The bass sounds like Truthear Zero's bass because it uses the same DD, even though the tuning is different. The bass extension is great, the bass is fast
The mid is a balance between a female and male, a bit warm and thick. The position is not too intimate. The male vocals are the right weight, thick and it's just really good for the price, the female vocals are also sweet
Treble sounds really good, Clean, Extended & Airy (good deal when you looking alternative from Planar IEM)
(Tested with Poco X3 Pro + Moondrop Dawn DAC & music player UAPP)
Great video thank you so much for the explaining.
I really have a difficulty in choosing which one to buy.
I usually use the earphones for asmr and gaming can you please tell me if i should by the air 3 deluxe or deluxe hs on any other model
How's the latency between soundpeats air3deluxe HS vs non HS?
Great review as usual, how do these compare to the SOUNDPEATS TrueAir 2 ? I love the TureAir 2 but if I talk on the phone and it's windy, the noise suppression cuts out my voice.
Excellent video !
Hello. I'm using samsung s23 ultra. Is there an option to turn off the LDAC? I can only find the HS version in my country.
what u think guys, what should i pick, these ones or oppo enco air 2?
How do you even choose LDAC or ACC?
Goto android setting->about phone-> tap the phone version text 10 times to open developers mode-> go to dev mode -> look for bluetooth codec to change it
@@bpcgos I have an iPhone.
first thing I bought the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS but then after various videos that talk about aptx adaptive I bought the Air 3..... I was disappointed they cost almost the same but the quality of the material of the air 3 it seems cheaper. as far as the sound is concerned, trust me you don't notice the difference..... I repeat, they cost the same; better to take the deluxe hs because they have more battery and the material seems more premium
Thanks for such good video you are the best. I want to ask you i have the tronsmart spunky beat and The sound for me is amazing but for phone calls sucks.can you please tell me air3 deluxe hs is better in sound quality?? Can you suggest me one with spunky beat sound quality or better but i can make calls with no problem to hear me?? Thanks
I have never owned a pair of headphones/earbuds with LDAC capability. I do own Sony headphones and OnePlus Bullets Wireless 2 earbuds that use aptX HD. I recently switched to iPhone, but kept my OnePlus 7 Pro because of the better support of Bluetooth audio CODECS vs Apple still using SBC.
If I record gameplay videos wearing earbuds will their latency effect the sound quality of the screen recorded video or not. Please reply
how do you choose AAC on a samsung device?
Go to Bluetooth settings tap on the gear icon next to connected device there should be option to choose
@AK4SHGaming thanks
How about the latency while gaming ?
I liked your videos but I got confusion about does Soundpeats air3 deluxe Hs sound better then Haylou W1
Thank you very much for the info and review. So, would you say this Air3 Deluxe HS has the best sound quality of all open earphones in the market? Would't you recommend any other, independently of the price tag and regardless of other features such as ANC?
I can’t claim as such as everyone’s got their own tastes but detail wise it is one of the best I’ve yet to hear, at least for a half in-ear
And of course we don’t talk about ANC cause naturally a half in-ear purpose is to let you hear your surroundings
Hi men, Which of the two has better bass?
Hi res is not noticeable vs 320kbps mp3 except on paper.😒😒
This or haylou w1?🤔🥺 can get it for 1999 pesos while the w1 is around 1500 pesos
Considering the mic factor
I recently used Haylou W1 which I bought on your recommendation and I love the sounds of it. Now I want to know if there is any tws earbud better than W1 in Soundpeats lineup for upgrading. Please give me a worthy recommendation as I'm your die hard fan. 😍
Please give me a reply 🥺
im using airpods 3 but plan to buy this as an alternative is it worth to buy?
Well take this for what it’s worth since I haven’t extensively tested the AirPods 3, but I think the HS would make for a great sidekick ✊🏻
For me, i bought the sony XM4's, which also have LDAC support. The wireless range is insane. I can go to the batthroom approximately 15 meters and 3 walls between my pc and my earphones and have absolutely no stutter or even noticable decline in audio quality. Greetings from germany!
I mean the audio quality from the xm4's is rather midrange, but i bought them mainly for noise cancelation while programming at the office.
I have a grocery store across the road and my XM5s keep playing from my laptop at home when I'm almost inside the store haha
Whats music apps support ldac in Indonesia?
you are right in many things about ldac vs sbc . but i feel that on my sony xm4 ldac is a little more smooth or gentle or easy to listen than sbc
Thanks! Actually it goes back to the listener and what suits their tastes right 😁 the Sony XM4s are actually one of the rare ones that has acceptable battery life on LDAC, although it comes at the cost of well… size haha
@@namedkenn
that`s right
every time i use ldac i wonder what people say about battery and ldac
it does really desrve the cost
size is not a proplem with spinfit medium size
i`m 176 cm tall and i found them very compatible with my ear size body ratio
i open my mouth a little and push them
they are very comfort and secure🤩
On what LDAC profile did you do the battery test with 3h 20m result? 300kbps, 600kbps, 900kbps or Adaptive Bitrate?
It’s set on best effort (adaptive)
@@namedkenn 1. Could you please test the battery life with LDAC 300kbps and 600kbps?
2. Does LDAC 300kbps offer better sound quality than SBC and AAC?
helloo, which one is better between soundpeats air 3 deluxe hs and soundpeats 3 capsules pro?
Honestly it comes back to whether you need ANC or open design, both are great for the price
I'd say get the new Air4 it's amazing
Hey man. I love your videos ..
But i have a suggestion..
You do compare the mic of airpods pro vs others.
Next video , we would like to see you enable noise canceling in airpods pro( it only enabled on phone calls and using iphone)
Please do a comparison in real phone calls
When I switched AptX On and off on my Sonic Pro's I could definitely tell a difference.
Personally I'm skeptical about LDAC in tiny earbuds. I have some over hear, overpriced, Sopy headphones with LDAC. it's noticable and it sounds amazing. But what good would be the LDAC codec in drivers I doubt will take advantage of it. I had some wired earbuds that were Hi-Res certified. But they were wired and they were on the big side. They had like 5 drivers or something like that. But now there are this really tiny Bluetooth earbuds. They fit the BT and DAC and battery in. They can't really fit that much driver. I did not expect the latency of LDAC and game mode on to be sooo low. Wow.
I miss the conclusion section at the end 😔
great review. one question, will the deluxe hs charge on og case?
Thanks and yes! The earbuds have exactly the same shape
En iyi silikonsuz kulaklık hangisi microphone benim için çok önemli ama?
At the moment here is my recommendations ruclips.net/video/rftgiuA7WbY/видео.html
So does soundpeats mini earbuds series use the same concept ？
Like mini，mini pro and mini pro hs🤣
Btw which one do you recommend？
Or any other suggestion for soundpeats earbud？😬
