    SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS review: Hi-Res certified semi-in-ear earbuds with LDAC audio decoding

    The experience with the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS is still good. 14.2mm bio-diaphragm dynamic driver, Hi-Res certification and support for LDAC codec are all its advantages. The downside is that Active Noise Cancellation is not supported. If you are a music or game lover, you can consider trying this true wireless earphones.

    Appearance Design & Comfortable Fit

    The charging case has changed compared to SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe. Continuing the classic oval bright black design of the previous generation, it is smooth around and comfortable to hold, but the gold edge embellishment is canceled, making it more integrated. The front is the indicator light and function buttons, and the SOUNDPEATS brand LOGO is printed on the back. There is a Type-C charging interface at the bottom.

    The earphones follow the semi-in-ear design of the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe, which is ergonomic and fits the pinna when worn. A single earphone weighs about 4g, which is very light. The semi-in-ear type is more suitable for wearing for a long time and will not cause pressure on the ears. Different from the bright black design of the charging case, earphones are matte black, which is not easy to be stained with fingerprints. The golden LOGO is the touch area.

    In addition, earphones support in-ear detection, which can detect the wearing status of earphones in real time. Taking off the earphones will stop playing the music, and it will continue to play after wearing it again, without missing any musical details.

    Connectivity & Control & Calls

    The earphones use a Bluetooth 5.2 chip, the LDAC codec is supported in the options, and the audio quality can reach 990kbps. Open the charging case cover, press and hold the function button for 3 seconds and the indicator light flashes white to enter pairing mode. Find the SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS in the bluetooth list and follow the prompts to pair.SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS review: Hi-Res certified semi-in-ear earbuds with LDAC audio decoding

    The earphones use touch panel operation, long press for 1.5s to switch songs and reject calls. Double tap to play/pause and answer/hang up. Tap the left earbud 3 times to turn on the low-latency mode, and tap the right earbud 3 times to wake up the voice assistant.

    In terms of calls, SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS supports dual-mic call noise cancellation. The two microphones accurately pick up the sound, and the algorithm eliminates the background noise and performs appropriate gain processing on the vocal part. Even in a noisy environment, the other party can clearly hear the content of the call.

    Game Latency & Battery Life

    Earphones support game mode, triple-click the left earphone to enter low-latency mode. The game delay is as low as 60ms, which brings better response speed and synchronization of audio and video.

    In terms of battery life, earphones have a single battery life of up to 5 hours. The charging case can charge earphones 3 times, up to 20 hours of comprehensive battery life.

    Sound Description & APP Support

    SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS review: Hi-Res certified semi-in-ear earbuds with LDAC audio decoding

    The earphones are equipped with a 14.2mm bio-diaphragm dynamic driver and have obtained the Hi-Res high-fidelity sound quality certification. To be honest, it is rare to see the Hi-Res logo on semi-in-ear earbuds. SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS supports LDAC codec (24bit/96kHz) with a maximum bit rate of 990kbps. Compared with LHDC and aptX-Adaptive codec, it focuses more on audio quality, which is close to lossless sound quality. At the same time, taking into account IOS users, earphones also support AAC codec, but Apple mobile phones cannot enjoy LDAC lossless sound quality.

    In terms of sound quality, earphones still have a significant improvement in the delicacy and fullness of the sound. After all, the high bit rate brings three times the transmission speed of ordinary bluetooth headsets. The treble is crisp and exciting, the alto is balanced and stable, and the details of the music can be heard. The bass is strong and powerful, with a clear sense of rhythm. The vocal performance is clear and clear, with good ductility, and there is a clear separation from the instrument sound. The sound field performance is also very wide.

    The SoundPEATS APP supports the sound mode settings of earphones and supports custom EQ sound effects, including classical, rock, folk, pop, electronic, bass boost, bass cut and treble boost. There’s also adaptive EQ, game mode, firmware upgrades, and in-ear detection features etc.
