Top positive review

My favorite type of earbuds.

September 28, 2018

I love this type of earbuds: ear fins keep the buds in place, and the magnets let you wear them securely around your neck when you're not listening to anything. The audio quality is good for both talk and rock music. People hear me clearly when I talk to them during calls. The buttons are a good size and shape for finding quickly when I want to skip tracks or adjust the volume.

Comfortable, great sound, but is cheap junk and stopped working during 2nd use

October 31, 2018

I have been looking for an inexpensive set of earbuds for running. I keep trying ones that are in the < $30 price point, and they all behave in a similar manner; this set was no exception.

I really wanted to love these as the sound quality is a solid A- (and I am an audio snob, although my usage during running is 95% podcasts, so I am fine with something that sounds like an AM radio IF it works). Fit was great and stayed in my ears for the duration of 1.5 runs (until I gave up on them for good).

The bad news is that these frequently had choppy audio (paired with an iPhone 7 that works great with every other Bluetooth device I have, which is over a dozen). During my 2nd run with these, after about 30 minutes they just stopped. There was still plenty of power and the LED indicator was working, but they just "unpaired" and would absolutely not repair again with my phone.

So in summary - I actually got less than what I paid for, which wasn't much in the first place. Thank goodness Amazon has a generous return policy, so I will be getting a refund. These might work fine for someone that sits still at a desk all day, but if you are active I wouldn't even give these a 2nd look.

Good sound, have the bass I was looking for

I have a pair of 1More Triple driver ear buds that plug into my phone. They sound great. I fried the left channel of my ear phone jack with a high frequency Tig welder, so I needed to go bluetooth or purchase another phone. I decided to get bluetooth ear buds. They will be safer when working in the shop. I have been trying different ones. One pair I got from the big W department store, they did not sound good and were uncomfortable. Next I went with ISOxtra buds. Again they just didn't sound good. I saw a review of the SoundPEATS online and decided to give them a try. I was skeptical because of the price. I figured I would have to spend $150.00 to get the kind of sound I was looking for. I am so glad I tried these. The PEATS are better sounding than my ISOxtra buds that cost a lot more. The ISOxtra buds had a tinny sound. I tried every setting on my EQ to get a deeper tone from them and it did not work. Charged my PEATS up, connected to my phone, set the EQ to preset bass and voila there was the sound I was looking for. I bought a second pair for my wife.

Wow excellent product

I have used quite a few models of other brands and this is the best so far. I use these for daily calls for almost 13 hours and also listen to music and watch videos etc. They stay on neck without fuss and make the job so simple! The best part so far for me is the battery life which is amazing!!!

Great for the $

The best under 50$ wireless earbuds I have tried. I bought these as a backup for my Bose (which I love).

For the price...
Great battery life
Good sound
Very comfortable

My only complaint is you only know if the battery is full, very low or dead.

Would recommend as a solid budget friendly wireless.

I Really Wanted to Like the SoundPEATS, but... No.

May 27, 2019

Format: ElectronicsVerified Purchase

I’ve tried several different brands of Bluetooth earphones which always ended the same way: The stopped charging or working after four to six-months. I decided to try the SoundPEATS after reading so many positive reviews, and I purchased them in Dec 2018. Well, at first, I was pleasantly surprised: They fit well in my ears (the come with different sized earbuds and ear-hooks), had a decent sound, and easy to use. I used them mostly while jogging three or four times a week, and treated them gently. I never had a drop off or lost a connection. Well, after a few weeks, they started acting up when turning them on. Often, I’d hold the “on” button for several seconds, and nothing would happen; then, after trying a second or third time, they’d finally come on. Then, charging started to become an issue as the red charging light would take 30-40 seconds to come on, and eventually wouldn’t come on at all until I unplugged/plugged the charger in several times. After that, the blue charged/on light would stay on after I turned off the SoundPEATS which would discharge the earphones thus needing to be charged again. This only happened intermittently, but was annoying. Finally, after 5-months, they just stopped working all together: Wouldn’t turn on, wouldn’t charge, wouldn’t do anything. I really, really, REALLY wanted to like the SoundPEATS, but like all the others, they just don’t last or, my guess, they’re just not well made. I’ll be doing research to find another pair, but they won’t be SoundPEATS. One and done.

*update These are complete rubbish. 3 pairs in less than 6 months and they fail. Speakers act like they've blown out on 2 pair. 1st won't hold a charge. I highly recommend staying away from this brand

SoundPEATS Perfected It.

April 12, 2019

Format: ElectronicsVerified Purchase

I've owned two other pairs of SoundPEATS wireless headphones, both versions of the Q12 (one broke and the manufacturer was kind enough to replace it promptly). The Q30 model is better in every way:

Pros:
- The cord is shorter, which means less tangle and snags.
- The pairing is simple. (It always has been simple, but this is literally one-touch pairing.)
- The ear tips are REALLY comfortable, a huge improvement over the Q12.
- The ear tips are held in place by a simple plastic nub design, which is an elegant solution to a minor-albeit-annoying issue.
- The volume up and down buttons are now shaped like a + and a -, which makes it really easy to feel what you're pressing.
- The buttons are bigger, so less fumbling.
- Multi-function button seems to turn the power on and off faster.
- Sound is really incredible.
- I don't know how the Q30's hold up in the rain, but the Q12's are basically waterproof. I've biked through many many downpours with no effect.
- Ear tips stay in even when I'm jogging or biking.

Cons:
- Could benefit from a USB-C power connection. (Currently has a micro-USB).
- I'd prefer a side-button or switch to instantly power-off headphones. (Pressing and holding the multi-function button is sort of inefficient.)
- Can't charge while in use.

I love these headphones, and I specifically bought SoundPEATS again because I know I can trust the quality while staying within my budget.

Bluetooth connectivity seems to be lacking

November 8, 2018

Format: ElectronicsVerified Purchase

Just took these out for their first jog, followed all the instructions and was very excited for them! But the connectivity seems to be a problem. Within a minute into my jog the audio was cutting in and out. I keep my phone (iphone 7) in a waist pack on my back, and during the entire jog it was fairly choppy, with a couple of times where the sound cut out for a second or two. I tried to figure out why it was doing this, so I restarted the headphones, double checked my connection, made sure I was only playing music that was downloaded onto the phone, but nothing worked. I think the location with the phone being on my back is the issue. I'm going to see what I can figure out, but at this time I couldn't recommend these headphones, and unless there's a fix for it I'm going to be sending these back. Major bummer.

Great Product

November 24, 2018

Format: ElectronicsVerified Purchase

I have used wired headphones for years since I had was never happy with the quality of Bluetooth headphones over the years. But I realized that I can't replace my phone until I get a Bluetooth headphones that I like since the new phones do not have headphone ports. I was willing to spend anything for good headphones since I use the phone for business and want good quality sound from the microphone and ear piece. I looked and tried some that were far more expensive and did not find any that worked well and were comfortable to wear. Until I ordered the SoundPEATS. They cost far less then the other ones yet they are very comfortable and sound quality is great. After ordering my first one and found that I liked it, I ordered an additional one and the charging cable didn't fit. So I contacted support and they responded very quickly and took care of the issue by sending me some returns that worked great. I highly recommend this product and will be suggesting these to all my customers.
