SoundPEATS Dual Drivers Bluetooth 5.2 Earphones, Force Pro Neckband Wireless Headphones IPX5 Sweatproof In-Ear Earbuds for Sports Built-in Mic, 22 Hrs Playtime APTX-HD Audio with Noise Cancellation

So can't believe how many true wireless earbuds I've tried out over the last few years - from £25 to £125. Chinese, American, whatever, brands. It's so cute and yes, "liberating" to be listening to music with just two tiny plugs in your ears and no wires at all, but have found so many have drawbacks that just make them untenable to live with long term -1) Lower volumes with a lot of them2) In busy areas inevitably the slave earbud drops connection randomly for a second or two, multiple times.3) Most irritatingly - Putting the buds away in their charge case Does Not guarantee they disconnect from your phone (contrary to claims). So later you might get a call on your phone, pick up, and there's no noise and you can't reach them, because your caller is basically talking into the earbuds' recharge case. This has happened across multiple manufacturers. So am Done w TWC earbuds for the time being.Which leaves bluetooth "sports style" buds, where a wire connects the two ear pieces but music is streamed via BT from your phone. SoundPeats (yes, odd name) have kinda been my go for a number of years - Think started out w Q15, then Q30, and now these. Yes there's that thick rubber neck band which I thought was going to get in the way and ruin my social life or something, but in reality it's all flexible and all drops into a slingbag all the same. And the sound is better than the Q30 - There's a noticeable difference with having the twin drivers per bud - From bass to treble notes, everything's cleaner, and sharper, and way more defined. Bass is kinda present but doesn't make your chest cavity vibrate. There's even a bit of a soundstage.And of course, like most sane appliances, it has an on/off switch (unlike my brand new Sonos soundbar, which doesn't, and the light just stays on - Not sure how to feel about that - Maybe for another review).

I was looking to replace my old OnePlus headphones of a similar design and was specifically looking for a pair that would go to sleep when magnetically connected. Whilst these do snap together magnetically they don't actually go to sleep or disconnect so you still have to press a button to turn them on and off, which is a little annoying.In terms of sound quality, I've no complaints, they're for the gym and tend to block out noise well. They're a little bulky in so much as they do stick out of your ear a little way with the design of the earpieces so be aware of this, you can knock them out when putting a hoody up or down.The battery life is very good, however, the warning indicator is dismal. They stay at 100% for ages, will drop to 80% and again stay there for ages, but once they hit 60% after a while they'll just die. I've gone to the gym with them showing 60% charge and within half an hour they've gone to 20 then 10 then off. There's no middle ground, so I find myself just charging them after I've noticed them at 60% which is super annoying.Overall they're a solid pair of earphones for the price.

Nice headphones, good sound, easy to connect (to my garmin watch), charge lasts quite a long time. I really like these, but after a few months they suddenly stopped working. I emailed the supplier who answered straight away, they asked me to try a couple of things and concluded they had failed, I had a replacement pair within a few days, didn’t even have to send the broken past back. About as good as you could ask for in terms of support.

I have bought these headphones previously and thought they were excellent. That last ones that I bought (I lost my previous pair) was not the same quality. The sound wasn’t as good, and one ear bud has stopped working after 6 months of use. I wouldn’t trust the early reviews as I think they must have changed supplier since then, my last pair were rubbish.

Just okay sound and bass, not worth the price, the dual drivers add nothingI bought these expecting a much punchier bass and better sound based on reviews, but they don't deliver, they are just okay, the sound is relatively clear but the bass is not good, it's soft and muddy.They lack volume, they sound like they could put out a bit more punchy sound if driven with more power, but the max volume is tepid, you are never in danger of distortion with these headphones at least...The dual driver setup doesn't seem to add anything apart from a large bulk which means that these headphones really require the sports clips that tuck into your ear to retain good contact for sound, especially bass, if you wear them without the ear clips, they will work out of your ear quickly.The saving grace for these headphones, and the reason I might give them 3.5 stars if I could, is that I do love the form factor... The neckband design gives you most of the advantages of wireless earbuds, total freedom of movement, but they cannot be lost, and can be flicked out of the ear at a moments notice if needed, where they can just dangle until you replace them, this also leaves room for a battery in the neck band.The form factor works great in the gym, they even have a clip to keep them in place when you are on your back, but when your favorite song comes on, they don't deliver.

Sound Quality is excellentBattery life is excellent even when used at high volumeBluetooth range is very good indoors and outComfort is superb with a caveat of the provided earhooks/wingtips are VERY easy to come off and lose, it is a pity they are not more securely attached as I have had to replace mine with generic ones which fit ...sort of, nd they are micro Usb chargingBut for that one fault I would give these 10/10 as I use these when I cant sleep to watch netflix/prime video as the latency is very low and I can definitely fall asleep with them in unlike any other earbuds or headphones I have found, comfort is, for me 10/10 bordering on 11/109/10 overallIf SoundPeats sort the wingtip out and give us USB -C charging then they would be 10/10 even at twice the price
