what an underrated video! this is really shows the issue with all that buds. Almost everything transfer sound 2 out of 5 at best . Thanks for the work you`ve done!
i liked these two in no particular order because I have lots of noise around me and I make a lot of calls: 8:46 SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS little background noise, some wind noise, better voice quality. 5:54 SoundPEATS Capsule 3 Pro -- Voice is muffled but background noise is almost completely gone
Howdy...from north Africa !!! Incredible video 100% mic test...love it ! Love the fact that is also has chapters...so we can compare quickly a VS b !!!! I am waiting for a futur review you will probably do before deciding: air 4 and air 4 lite !!!!!!! Once I see those...I will decide !!!! Part 3 is going to be awesome !!!! As for what I heard...the capsule pro3 are the best indeed! Voice is more or less natural...second behind is the deluxe HS....80% of tws are crappy for call...that is a fact !
Thank you very much for the kind comments, much appreciated! I have been testing the Air4 the last month so that review is definitely coming. I don't have the Air4 Lite but I will try and get it in for that review for a good comparison. Thanks again for watching and for the support 🙌
@@ReganCipher , regards from Slovenia. Sorry for my bad English. Hope, I'm understandable. I'm very impressed with your reviews here and on the Head-Fi forums. You’re doing a fantastic job. I too am looking for a TWS with the best microphone for calls and I somehow got the opposite feeling to @karimgeniokarim-genio5086. For me Air3 Deluxe HS, at least on my speakers, are better in terms of call quality than Capsule3 pro, although they are somehow very similar. I'm very interested in to Air4 series and what I got so far from samples on youtube is that Air4 Lite call quality is clearly better than on Air4. I see great potential on Air4 Lite because of the second generation Wuqi chipset, supported with 6 mics etc. Hope you will somehow integrate Air4 Lite call quality test into your future reviews, so that we can compare it to the one of the Air3 Deluxe HS. Have a nice day.
@zzitop1 wow, thanks for the kind message! I visited Ljubljana and Bled many years ago, Slovenia is one of my favourite countries - always nice to know my videos are reaching some wonderful places! I'm glad you're finding the reviews and tests useful. I already have the Air4 and will be getting the Air4 Lite in for a comparison next week. I've been on vacation for the last month, so lots of stuff is sitting here waiting to be tested and reviewed - plenty to come, and always open to recommendations or suggestions. Thanks again for supporting the channel! 🙏
Great effort to test your collections in real life situation. For the next mic test video, can you include Elevoc Clear (I saw from your 2022 collection) for benchmark purpose? Granted it is old 2021 device but I found mic performance is still the benchmark.
Thank you so much for doing this. It's hugely helpful! due to some motor control issues, I struggle with touch controls. Do you know which one of these have actual analog buttons that can be pressed to operate?
No problem! The Soundcore P3i, if I remember correctly, has tactile buttons. The OnePlus Buds Pro and Oppo Enco X2 have pinch controls. A few of the other Soundcore options I didn't include - A3i for example - has tactile buttons, as do many of the Jabra range. Hope that helps!
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you're able to speak on the performance of the Soundcore Space A40s? They're under $100 and I've heard good things about them. Thank you!
Hi there, sorry for missing your comment! I'd like to test the Space A40, unfortunately I buy the majority of my earbuds and the Space A40 are at the top end of my budget. Hopefully there will be a price drop soon and I can give them a go. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Thank you for this! Great insight! I actually have the Samsung buds live, as does my wife (I'm abroad currently). Only problem with the buds live is that when there's background noise in my wife's environment, she stops being able to hear me, like my voice becomes muffled. What would be the best earbuds where background noise doesn't affect the incoming voice?
Thank you! Have you listened to my coffee shop test? Hard to say there's an outright winner in that one in terms of environmental noise reduction because the strongest ones tend to soften your voice a little. It's like a balancing act between the two as to your preference. For the Premium buds, I quite like the Technics AZ80 with 'just my voice' enabled - not cheap, and probably not ten times better than some of the choice budget buds, but still worthy of a mention 👍
Confused about which QCY to choose for calls. Can you help me please? Is it worth to try T13 or will have difference on calls if buy a more expensive QCY model? Thanks for all!
There are only really minor differences between the models. T13 your voice is a bit softer. HT05 is good but the noise reduction is sometimes a little too aggressive. T18 is probably the best for calls, but isn't as good for other things (no ANC, audio is brighter than HT05). I think as you can tell from the videos, they all perform ok certainly decent for the money. I'm testing out and preparing a >$100 comparison and really you have to spend over $200 for a noticeable improvement 😳 thanks for watching!
Both are pretty good, the Linkbuds are probably the best I've tested outdoors but I don't have them any more hence why they weren't in any of my 2023 tests 😭 so no idea how they perform in busy indoor environments
Thank you! Yeah the Capsule3 Pro are great for the money, they performed well in both of those tests. I tend to keep most of the earbuds for future comparisons like these. Some I sell, some I send back, and I'll be giving away one or two sets in a competition coming up soon! 😎
Hi regan!I bought the ht05 recently and i think i got defect or something so i wanna ask u a question about anc on the qcy ht05... so can it block human noises? Because i still can hear people talking around me And some sound cant be blocked. And also which eartips do u reccomend? Should i use memory foam eartip or silicon? And which has better midrange sound and clear vocal and midrange between qcy ht05 and soundpeats capsule 3 pro? Your advises help me make my decision😄
Hi there Imad and sorry I didn't reply to you sooner. On both models you can hear some conversations especially if they are loud, but even you could spend $100-150 and still not get ANC that will block voices altogether. Only Sony and Bose are effective enough at that without spoiling the sound altogether. Even so, you should be able to notice the difference on the HT05 by playing around with the settings in the app. Vs the Capsule3 Pro for sound, I think the trebles are better on the HT05, and the midbass a bit better on the Capsule3 Pro. But you can get both to sound quite similar with the EQ. Female vocals in particular are much clearer on the HT05. Regarding tips, I prefer silicone. You can try something like the Spinfit CP1025 but I'm just using the stock tips and I'm pretty happy with them. I don't personally like foam, but everyone is different so I can't speak for whether it might suit you or not. I hope that helps my friend? Both are really good, I feel like Capsule3 Pro (especially white) feels a bit more premium and is definitely better for calls, but in terms of overall performance there's not much difference and maybe because of the clearer vocals you might prefer the HT05
@@ReganCipher Thanks regan! It means I'll buy some silicone tips and memory tips to try out which ever suits me best. And I think ht05 was the better option of those two for me. Thanks a lot for clarifying!😄
Yeah, I did include it in this and the busy indoor version of this video - it's not good for calls, mainly due to the lack of stem meaning the voice mic is too far from your mouth
@siongbb5339 the mic is better on the Melobuds Pro, but nearly all TWS are using MEMS mics for both the voice and the noise reduction, which means they struggle to distinguish your voice from other voices. Either your voice will be a bit muffled and the background noise removed, or your voice will come through clearer but the background noise will be there. Only the ones with bone conduction mics (Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 & Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3) effectively separate your voice out, but using bone conduction adds cost, so most brands won't do it. Even Apple has to include the AI noise reduction in iOS so that the airpods give strong call performance. I reviewed the Melobuds Pro and included lots of call samples - check them out and make sure you're happy first
Just FYI all Xiaomi buds and headsets work best only with smartphones under HyperOS(MIUI), but there are unofficial app in playmarket, so let me know if you need any help with it. Also I using 1More Sonoflow right now, on the level with mx4 by sound, has less program features but you can find them around 50usd
Elevoc Clear were in my 2022 tests which you can find on my profile page. I didn't include them this time because they broke, and you can no longer buy them new because elevoc have stopped production 😢
Congrats on your tests! They are really useful! But why not do a test in a very loud restaurant or an open space coworking? The big deal is choosing a pair of TWS that can be used at a restaurant, at the seaside, or in a coworking without making the counterpart understand where you are!
Can't wait for the $100+ tests. Please do a head to head with the winners from the premium and sub $100 tests if you can!

Realme buds air3s
soundpeats air3 deluxe
i think the best. Almost no gaps in speech transfer
Thank you! Yeah you're right, all pretty much of a muchness. Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 or Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the way to go for calls
Just here for the engagement. This monumental ammount of effort deserves more views.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind comments man, means a lot 🙌
