So much more than just a case for your earbuds. A built-in display shows battery life percentages for each earbud, and a built-in screen allows you to change settings on the earbuds, such as ANC levels. The case also chargers wirelessly, as well as over USB-C, for maximum convenience.

With up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, and up to 40 hours including the case, there’s plenty of battery life here before you’ll need to plug these in for a recharge. Fast charging also gives you 4 hours of playback from just a 5 minute charge, so you won’t have to charge these for long.

Their mobile app is one of the best around. It’s simple to use despite all the options within it. Whether it’s changing the ANC levels, creating a custom 8-band EQ to get the most from your music, or turning one of the myriad of features on or off, this app has you covered.

AAC, SBC, and hi-res LDAC audio codec support will satisfy most people. The 10.5mm bass driver provides plenty of rich bass. Whilst the dedicated tweeter provides crisp and clear trebles.

6 built-in mics help to ensure your voice is clear on a call, even in the loudest of environments. It’s impressive the amount of background noise that these earbuds can cancel out, and yet still make sure your voice is heard.

10 levels of ANC and transparency let you fine tune exactly how much sound to block out, or let in. Low frequencies are well blocked, and even higher frequencies, such as people talking, are notably dulled. The wind reduction mode isn’t as impressive though and is best avoided.

Lots of features on these budget earbuds that are simply icing on the cake as these have great sound, good ANC, and some market leading battery life. All for the low price of $68!

The Earfun Air Pro 4’s are incredibly light at only 4.8g each. Combined with 5 different ear tip sizes, these earbuds are incredibly comfortable to wear.

The mobile app is simple to use and provides all the settings that you could need. It provides lots of options, such as 30 EQ presets, and a 10 band custom EQ, so you can tweak the sound to your liking. Other apps are more polished, but this gets the job done.

These support so many codecs! AAC, SBC, LDAC, Aptx Adaptive, Aptx Lossless and Snapdragon Sound are all supported here! Sound is also impressive That’s an impressive list on a budget pair of earbuds. Sound is provided courtesy of a single 10mm driver, and with a clear bass and treble, these are pleasant to listen to and belie their budget price.

6 mics help your voice stay clear on all but the loudest of environments where some background noise can leak through. Still, for the price, these do well.

These are effective at canceling out low frequencies, and even some higher frequencies too, without the pressure that typically accompanies ANC. Its wind reduction mode is exceptional though and does a great job of reducing wind noise when out-and-about on a windy day.

A pair of great sounding earbuds that are let down by its mediocrity in other areas. If you can live with its short-comings then these sound great and you’ll love them.

These are comfortable to wear on my ears, but with only 3 ear tip sizes to choose from, those that find it difficult to find earbuds that fit, might have no better luck with these earbuds. For those that these do fit though, they are comfortable to wear, even for hours at a time.

The case is solid, with a strong hinged lid, and has a single LED on the front that indicates battery status. It can be charged using a USB-C cable but unfortunately there is no wireless charging here.

Another pair of earbuds with touch controls, and also the typical offering of single, double, triple and long press actions to trigger different commands. The touch area on the earbuds is easy to use, and the mobile app can be used to change what command each action does.

Battery life is up to 6.5 hours on a single charge, and up to 43 hours with the case. This drops further when ANC is enabled and is definitely not a strong suite of the Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro+. There’s also no fast charging either. So a full charge takes up to 90 minutes.

The peatsAudio mobile app provides a 10-band custom EQ, a number of presets, and the ability to change touch control actions and turn features on or off. However, it requires an internet connection, and an account, in order to work, and that’s just not good enough.

AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codec support will suit most people. These sound great, with the 12mm dynamic delivering deep and tight bass, and the accompanying xMEMs driver providing a clarity and crispness to the treble not expected at this price.

Whilst there are 6 mics in these earbuds, and they do perform ok in a quiet room, in a noisy environment they run into problems. Digital artifacts become pronounced and vocal clarity suffers. Fine to use, as long as you understand its limitations.

These do a good job of canceling out lower frequencies but really struggle in canceling out higher frequencies. People’s voices especially are hardly reduced. Transparency mode works, if sounding artificial, and there is no wind reduction mode on these earbuds.
