Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ Review

Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ Review
Intro
Hello, this review and feature covers the latest from the audio brand Soundpeats, named the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ ($129). Now, the Air5 Pro+ is actually a two-driver hybrid tws iem consisting of one DD and one Piezo xMEMS driver (much more in that later), as well as being absolutely feature packed. The wild thing for me is that I just reviewed the Soundpeats Air5 Pro (Air5 Pro Review) only a short while ago. I mean, August of this year! Shoot, before the Air5 Pro, I had reviewed the Air4 Pro (Air4 Pro Review) almost two years before that. So, the impressive part about it all is not that Soundpeats could turn right around and create another variant. The impressive part about it is how much better Soundpeats was able to create another variant. Friends, I usually write the majority of every one of my “intros” before I even get a product. I like the anticipation; I like mulling over the product page and coming up with some ideas of how I want my review to flow. However, when it comes to the Air5 Pro+ I simply knew I’d have to wait to say any word on this set. That said, I am very impressed at the lengths that Soundpeats went with this set. They made three big “sound related” changes which made this set so intriguing to me that I had to get them in my ears before I said anything. Like, they added one of the most impressive drivers for treble that you can use in the MEMS driver (piezoelectric) as well as a dedicated amplifier to properly drive both drivers. Of course, there’s more and I’ll explain that all later in the review. For right now just know that Soundpeats isn’t playing around folks. When they say they’re crafting an audiophile set of earbuds…guess what… they’re crafting an audiophile set of earbuds. I love writing reviews.

Soundpeats
Friends, can I tell you something amazing? Did you know that Soundpeats has been around since 2010!? Not only have they been doing this for over 15 years, but they’ve been a global operation since 2013!! I couldn’t write an intro long enough to list all of their products. It is an enormous list that features a litany of VGP awards in Japan for price to performance achievements. The list is huge folks, and you don’t make that list unless your products can stand up to the scrutiny of the VGP judges. At any rate, Soundpeats truly is one of the best wireless brands on the planet and they’ve proven this over and over again. Product after product is tirelessly worked on with as much R&D required to make a product that is relevant, costly, and one which is good enough to bear the name “Soundpeats”. The most important aspect of all of their products is price to performance. Always. Not even once (that I know of) have they released a product that didn’t have top-of-the-line Internals, specs, and ergonomics in consideration of each product’s relative price point. They are all solid buys for the consumer. Folks, I’ve said countless times that I do not review what I don’t enjoy, or anything that I feel a vast number of people won’t enjoy. It has to be good (in my opinion). Did you know that I have never once told Soundpeats no. I’ve never done it. There are probably three to four brands that I can say that about. The wild thing is that I’ve reviewed Soundpeats products for years, many of them. Coincidentally, they’ve all been solid products that I was proud to rec. Anyways, over 15 years! It is very difficult to stay relevant for that long. That means that they’ve made many-many good choices and it means that Soundpeats has a knack for good timing. Eh, they’ll do another 15 without breaking a sweat.

Packaging / Accessories
Unboxing
The Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ arrived at my home in a decently sized cardboard box with a white sleeve covering. On the white sleeve you’ll see the Air5 Pro+ on the cover with some features as well as some specs on the back. Nothing out of the ordinary. Take off the sleeve and you get to the actual tan colored box. Lift off the lid and straight away you’ll see the Air5 Pro+ carrying case sitting all pretty inside of a molded plastic tray. Obviously, inside of the case is where the gorgeous Air5 Pro+ is hiding. Remember to remove the blue strips over the charging terminals. Next, tucked into the lid there is a white box. Inside of that white box you’ll find the eartips as well as the USB-C charging cable, the manual etc. Really, there isn’t much more to say about the unboxing. As per usual with true wireless earphones there simply isn’t a whole lot that can be added as far as accessories are concerned. Still, it’s a nice unboxing nonetheless.

Eartips

Inside of the packaging Soundpeats added in a total of three pairs of eartips. Now, these eartips are actually quite good considering they are true wireless earbuds style eartips. Meaning they are a very shallow fit. However, the eartips provided have a very nice feel to them. However, I’m getting ahead of myself. So, Soundpeats added in three pairs (S, M, L) of gray colored silicone tips, wide oval bore (to fit the oval nozzles), as well as a very firm flange, very soft silicone too. They have a great feel to them and do well to seal in the ear. 95% of hobbyists would likely find these tips perfect. However, I am the 5% who needs to tip roll. Not that the included tips done fit my ears, but they simply don’t have a super tight seal. That bothers me. Luckily, Soundpeats provides a charging case that is large enough that I can fit 3rd party eartips (more on that in a bit). Something that I praise them for. Anyways, the tips that I chose to use which brings the absolute BEST sound quality out of the Air5 Pro+ are most certainly Tenmak Whirlwind tips. The super firm flange, super wide-bore, the rigidness of the Whirlwinds, and the way they just seal every crevice in my ears tightly makes them the absolute best for me. Additionally, the Whirlwinds also sound the best too. There is nothing obstructing the nozzles at all and every inflection comes through the nozzles unhindered and clean. Really great for the treble and upper mids to sound very dynamic.
Charging Case

The next accessory that I have to speak on is the charging case. I’ve always praised Soundpeats on their cases. They make it easy to do so. Now, the case hasn’t changed much as far as design and overall build quality from previous sets within the series. It is still made of a hard plastic material and is still small enough to fit in my tiny front jeans pocket where I like to store my tws. I find that the case has strong enough magnets to hold the earbuds in place without them moving. Now, the charging case actually carries a 520 mah battery which will get you a total of 37 hours of extra battery life. Another nice quality is that the charging case also has fast charging, which I can attest charges these bad boys very fast. In fact, a quick 10-minute charge will provide 2 hours of battery life on a depleted set of earbuds. However, one of the best features of this case is that it is large enough to let me, or you, use 3rd party eartips. Yes, it seems like a small thing, but please understand that this is a huge thing. Eartips are one of the best ways to help dial in sound and you need a set that will seal in your ears. The charging case let me use almost every tip I tried. This is a great feature. Folks, I bet that 90% of tws cases do not allow you to use 3rd party tips. That’s probably a low estimation too. Anyways, the case is nice looking, good size, huge battery, and it’ll fit in your pocket without looking ridiculous.

Build / Design / Internals / Fit / Chipset / Controls
*Note: being that many of the features on the Air5 Pro+ are identical to the Soundpeats H3, I will take copy/paste snippets of that review and paste into this review. Full disclosure. Any differences pertaining to the Air5 Pro+ will obviously be mentioned.
Build Quality
One thing that Soundpeats always makes sure to provide with their products is solid build quality. They never make anything that is cheap in respect to the cost of their products. Of course, anymore there isn’t a whole lot that a brand can do to make build quality “better”. I mean, they almost have to use plastic, or resin, or…ceramics, maybe carbon-fiber composite materials and sometimes aluminum if the antenna is on the outside of the unit. However, by-and-large every true wireless is going to be made of plastic. The Air5 Pro+ is no exception. That said, the plastic used is the same hard plastic that they always use. Basically, it’s built very well and doesn’t feel cheap at all. Everything is cut perfect, clean lines, no glue, super smooth, and perfectly ergonomic. Obviously, the Air5 Pro+ is a stem style design which is not something that is ideal for everyone. Which is understandable. However, the stem style helps tremendously with phone calls as it brings the microphones closer to the mouth. Also, I should add that the Air5 Pro+ nozzles are set at a very ergonomic angle into the ear. Granted, it hasn’t changed much from other variants in the series, but that doesn’t make it any less good. Another quality build. Nice work Soundpeats!
Design
I’ve always enjoyed the look of this series. I say that and I’m not even a huge fan of the stem style. Honestly, I think this set looks dope! I adore the deep black base color of these buds, yet the copper/bronze colored accent colors make such a perfect contrast. I mean… perfect. It’s striking folks. Please understand that not every stem style set gets such adoration from me. So many sets are bland, basic, and they lack any sort of class about them. Soundpeats has done an amazing job at making sure that their products always have a nice aesthetic. They know that a huge reason that people choose their earbuds has to do with the design, the look. Anyways, the look of the Air5 Pro+ is just like many others in their lineup, very nice.

Internals
This brings us to one of the best reasons that anyone would pick up this set. That is the Internals! It’s all about the Internals with tws earbuds. All about the drivers, the chips, the battery, etc. To start, the Air5 Pro+ has a two-driver hybrid setup which features a 10mm dual copper coil composite diaphragm dynamic driver as well as one of the best features, that is… the MEMS treble driver. I was so stoked when I saw this added in the product page! Soundpeats actually has used a MEMS driver in the past as the Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro Plus (Capsule3 Pro Plus Review). Folks, that set was one of the best I had ever heard from Soundpeats up until that point. Without question I am saying the same now about the Air5 Pro+. Well, besides the Soundpeats H3 (H3 Review) that is. At any rate, the Air5 Pro+ carries the MEMS piezoelectric driver made of silicone using a flat piezoelectric actuator to flex the thin/tiny silicone membrane which can generate incredibly fast speed and precision for a driver. Very much different from a DD (for example) which uses coils and magnets to move a diaphragm. The result is a very speedy and highly technical driver. Much faster than traditional drivers. Also, yes, it makes a big difference in what you hear in your music. Soundpeats also incorporated a Qualcomm QCC3091 chipset (more on that later), as well as three microphones on each earbud, and a 35 mah battery in each earbud. However, Soundpeats also had to incorporate a dedicated amp section for this set (more on that later) which is a very nice thing to see. Lastly, they used a brand-new anti-noise nickel ring internally which is designed to eliminate internal circuitry hiss and noise.
Chipset
Once again Soundpeats chose one of the better chipsets that you can find at these prices in the Qualcomm QCC3091 chipset. Honestly, it is a great chip which provides many features for the Air5 Pro+. I’m talking about the Snapdragon Sound, some of the best audio codecs you can get, noise canceling, call noise cancellation too, multi-point connection, transparency mode, game mode etc. In fact, the QCC3091 has just about every feature you’d want which helps the Air5 Pro+ tremendously. I think it’s no secret that Qualcomm without question makes the most diverse and talented chipsets out there. Now, you’ll see the QCC3091 chip on many sets and so the Air5 Pro+ is not on an island with this one. I’ve done many reviews on sets which use this chip. It’s basically a mid-tier chipset which offers premium features for devices such as true wireless earbuds. I was most definitely happy to see this chipset on board the Air5 Pro+.
Earbud Controls
One of the great qualities of any Soundpeats earbud is the fact that you can usually control just about every function of those earbuds from the earbuds touch surfaces. You can tap pause/play, Answer/Hang-up phone calls, volume up or down, next track or previous track, game mode, ANC, transparency mode, and you can summon your phone’s assistant using touch controls. This is a huge thing folks. Being able to control all functions at the tap of your finger is really a nice feature and one which not all earbuds have. Well, not all brands are created equal and Soundpeats happens to be that sort of brand which knows exactly what they are doing. I cannot describe to you how many sets don’t have volume controls, or the ability to scroll through modes and you have no idea how many sets don’t have previous track. Oddly enough. Now, let me just assure you all that the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ absolutely has the ability to control all functions of this set from the touch surface, except any EQ abilities. Those must be controlled through the PeatsAudio APP. More on that later. Also, all of the controls are very easy to commit to memory. Very much intuitive. Thumbs up for the Air5 Pro+.
Control Functionality
Another cool part about having a set of earbuds with all commands at the touch of your finger…is when those controls actually work. Too often I have earbuds come to my home from brands and the touch surface takes three taps to initiate one tap. Or it recognizes the wrong count of taps. I won’t throw any set under the bus but please believe me that some huge and very popular sets were not reviewed by me simply because the touch surface didn’t work correctly. Soundpeats has been at the wireless game almost longer than everyone folks. They know what they are doing and they craft and create earbuds with a proper touch surface. I mean, you aren’t going to have a hundred phantom touches. It isn’t too sensitive, and it isn’t too unsensitive. On top of that, there’s really no lag from the moment you touch the Air5 Pro+’s touch surface until the command is being carried out. It is way more common than you may think to have a malfunctioning set. Again, even the astronomical big brands (you know the brands I’m talking about). I have much more expensive earbuds which don’t work even half as well as almost all of the Soundpeats models. I guess they have the experience and understanding that other brands just haven’t grown too yet. Needless to say, I have yet to have a Soundpeats model that didn’t have a stellar touch surface.

Features
Snapdragon Sound
One of the key benefits of the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ is the fact that it has something called “Snapdragon Sound”. What is Snapdragon Sound you ask? You’ve come to the right place ladies and gentlemen. Snapdragon Sound was developed by Qualcomm and is a platform of sorts which combines many of their audio related technologies in one wonderful place, or one ecosystem, so to speak. Coincidentally, one of those places is inside of the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+. At any rate, Snapdragon Sound is basically a badge letting you know that the device which carries it supports a set of premium features designed to deliver the best wireless sound quality, the best latency, the best connectivity and more powerful wireless connections in comparison to any other Bluetooth out there. What I’m getting at is that Snapdragon Sound is the bees knees folks. Okay, sorry for that. Anyways, it supports Aptx-Adaptive and Aptx-Adaptive Lossless. By the way, Aptx-Adaptive Lossless is the best audio codec on planet earth right now. There is no better. Aptx-Lossless can deliver up to 24bit and 96khz bit depths and sample rates and bit rates exceeding the much-adored LDAC. Also, it will provide latency down to 60ms in some game modes. It carries CVC (Clear Voice Capture) and many times Aptx-Voice for up to 32khz wideband voice communication. Basically, crystal clear and can also perform that way even in noisy environments when implemented well. It’s almost always using either Bluetooth 5.3 or 5.4 for the newest and most powerful connection, and it is always paired with a Qualcomm SoC chip. Basically, the best Bluetooth chips that the planet of earth has to offer. So, that’s a quick rundown of what you’ll get with the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+. It’s a nice feature folks.
AI Adaptive Noise Cancellation
One feature that is actually getting better by the set for Soundpeats is their ANC. Also found on the Soundpeats Air4 Pro, Air5 Pro, and H3 (three sets I previously reviewed) is Soundpeats AI Adaptive Noise Cancellation. Now, “AI” Adaptive ANC is a bit different from regular Adaptive ANC. Qualcomm states that the chip itself (QCC3091) will decide the level of noise cancellation depending on the outside environment and does so in “real time”. Working off of six mics in total (between the left and right earbuds) this AI integrated adaptive ANC is able to pick up noises from all sides of the listener with up to a 4,000hz ultra-wideband. Combine that with Qualcomm’s CVC noise-canceling for phone calls algorithm (which I’ll cover later) and you’ll see that there is some very nice tech involved with this set. Soundpeats says you can get up to 55db reduction in outside noises.
Different types of ANC
I should add that Soundpeats added in different types of ANC as well, for different scenarios. Within the PeatsAudio APP you can actually choose different levels and types of ANC, depending on your situation when using the Air5 Pro+. Which is very cool. You’ll notice on the home page about halfway down it’ll give you a toggle to either choose “Indoor Noise Canceling”, “Outdoor Noise Canceling”, and “Traffic Mode”. I feel like each setting has its place. I don’t necessarily feel that either style is better than the other, but they are different. Also, I also think that you should spend some time going through each setting.
How good is it?
So, as far as the ability of the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ to actually cancel noises, I think it does a very fine job and probably does cancel or attenuate roughly around 55 db’s of noise. However, those sounds are mostly lower droning sounds. Like, the air conditioning unit in my office which is on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I find that the Air5 Pro+’s ability to cancel that constant low droning sound is awesome. It works even a bit better than the Soundpeats H3, which is saying something. However, some quicker high-pitched noises, sudden noise, the TV, or people aren’t attenuated all that well. Which I fully expected, and so should you. That is usually the case with these earbuds. Stuff like lawn mowers, car engines, the hum of a plane, and really any hum is usually canceled almost entirely. There will be hints of sound leaking through, but it isn’t bad at all. In fact, the Air5 Pro+ does a very good job. Certainly one of the best in its price point that I’ve personally heard. I just reviewed the Tozo Golden X1 and the Air5 Pro+ is leagues better with its ANC. That set’s (Golden X1) initial MSRP was $256. Anyways, the Air5 Pro+ probably has the best ANC that Soundpeats has crafted yet though the Soundpeats H3 is very close.
Transparency Mode
Another nice feature of the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ is its transparency mode. Can I just tell you that almost all transparency mode features in just about all tws sets have a somewhat tinny quality to them. Some are better than others. I find that the Air5 Pro+ comes across less tinny than previous Soundpeats sets. In fact, other than the surrounding atmosphere of this mode sounding almost like you are in a tunnel, it sounds very good. I have used transparency mode quite a bit while testing and I haven’t had any issues hearing the outside world while I’m out and about. So much so that when I have a podcast on and someone comes to speak to me, I can still hear them very well and without needing to pause what I have playing in my ears. I think that Soundpeats did a nice job.
Call Quality
One of the awesome qualities of the QCC3091 SoC chip is that it offers ANC for phone calls. This ability helps quite a bit to dampen the sounds around you while talking with someone on the other line. I’ve used the Air5 Pro+ for more than a few TEAMS meetings, and I’ve never had issues. Anyone I’m speaking with always sounds clear, but I also sound very clear to others. Certainly, one of the best Soundpeats sets where call quality comes into play. The reason being (once again) is that they have AI Noise reduction/Hybrid adaptive ANC environment and multiple (#3) microphones to aid in the task of making your calls more natural. In fact, the Air5 Pro+ has one feed-forward & a feed-back microphone which works in tandem with its AI adaptive ANC. Of course, some things to consider is wind noise. No set has perfected wind noise that I’ve heard. Some are better than others, but some wind will make it by and can disrupt a conversation. Also, your fit and seal make a huge difference in how phone calls come through. So, make sure your tips are sealing everytime. Also, folks, the Air5 Pro+ is very good for a set of tws, but they won’t beat out sets made specifically for business-critical phone calls. Still, very good for what they are.
Game Mode (Low-Latency Mode)
Once again, the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ carries a “Game Mode” or “Low-Latency Mode”. This is not new, and it certainly isn’t the only tws iem to carry it. In fact, I have game mode or low-latency mode on sets costing under $20. So, it’s nothing new. Having said that, just like everything else in audio; not all game modes are created equal. This is a fact. I say that because some Low-Latency modes actually carry really low latency without killing your battery. Other sets have low-latency modes which barely work as intended whilst draining the charge in your battery, like air leaving a balloon. I know it because I’ve tested them ad nauseum. The Air5 Pro+ does about the same as the H3, Air5 Pro, and Air4 Pro. They do a very good job on almost all games. Albeit some first-person shooters will slightly lag at times. By the way, that is the same as with every tws set. However, the Air5 Pro+ does a fantastic job syncing up voices on movies, podcasts, etc. Definitely a nice feature that I like having in my earbuds.
Multi-Point Connection
Soundpeats also added in a feature that used to be unheard of in true wireless only a couple years ago and now seems much more prevalent, that is “Multi-Point Connection”. Multi-point Connection is a near feature that will be very useful for those who can make use of it. Basically, you can be connected to two devices at one time. Why is this helpful? Well for instance, it’s useful for those folks who are watching a video on a tablet or playing a game, and they get a call on their phone. What happens is when you answer the phone it will automatically click over to your phone whilst being connected to the other device. It is a nice feature that you don’t know how much you enjoy it until it’s gone. I should add that I haven’t tried out the Air5 Pro+’s multi-point yet as I simply don’t use it, or need it, ever. Still, it’s a nice feature for those who do need it or want it and its worthy of being talked about. One more thing, you cannot use Multi-point on the Air5 Pro+ while also being connected to LDAC. Keep that in mind.
Battery
This brings us to somewhat of a sore subject, kind of. To the casual observer they will look at the Air5 Pro+’s battery specs and think it’s rather low when using ANC. Well folks, I need you to understand a few things about the Air5 Pro+ that you may not have thought of. First off, this set is a dual driver tws iem. That alone takes a toll on the battery. However, when you add in the fact that the MEMS driver is an 80-ohm driver which absolutely needs a dedicated amplifier to use, then maybe you’ll start to see where I’m going with this. That amp takes battery and power to run; those drivers steal battery to drive properly. Add in the fact that the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ has LDAC as well as ANC and you’ll lose some serious battery life. I had the same issue with the three-driver Soundpeats H3. However, the battery life doesn’t bother me at all because you can’t get power out of thin air folks. These drivers have to be powered. It’s worth it to me to have the best sound. So, basically, you are getting what Soundpeats can realistically give you when running all these nice sound features. Now, keep in mind, running LDAC depletes batteries faster, high volume listening depletes batteries faster, ANC depletes batteries much faster (I often don’t use ANC), and intensive games will deplete batteries faster. If you don’t need ANC when listening to music… don’t use it. I never need it for music because I can’t hear anything over the music anyways. Lastly, remember that the Air5 Pro+ has fast charge. 10 minutes of fast charging gets you two hours of listening and the Air5 Pro+ charges to full very quickly.
What is the battery life?
Honestly, the battery life thing doesn’t bother me at all because I understand what they are powering. It’s a good trade-off. Plus, how often do I listen with all of these battery draining features enabled and how often do I listen for over four hours? Not very often. The only thing that Soundpeats can do is make a bigger battery. That makes the housing much larger and that is something they weren’t willing to do. I get it. Now, you are probably wondering what the specs are for the battery. The official Soundpeats page for the Air5 Pro+ states that you can get 6 hours using AAC (maybe Aptx) without ANC in one sitting. With LDAC that number goes down to 4 hours. Now, when using LDAC with ANC enabled will get you 3 hours. So, the battery life isn’t the best I’ve ever seen, but for what you are powering and for the quality of sound that you are getting I wouldn’t expect anything more. I really wouldn’t. One more thing, using the case you’ll get a total of 37 hours as it does use a 520mah battery, which is on the large side. Having said all of that, I understand if this is a huge drawback for you. I totally understand. For me and my usage it doesn’t make even a lick of difference. I always put the Air5 Pro+ back in the case when not using and they charge super quick. I’ve never run out of battery either. Well, once when blowing leaves but I brought a few pairs with me, so it wasn’t an issue.
PeatsAudio APP
In my opinion, the PeatsAudio app is one of the better companion apps available for budget-oriented gear. In truth, it has it all folks. First, you can obviously make firmware upgrades through the app, which is a huge benefit. You can also play around with the EQ presets, of which Soundpeats provides ten different presets for the Air5 Pro+. You also have the ability to perform the Adaptive EQ option. Furthermore, you can also make your own personalized EQ changes through the Custom EQ. The beauty of that is your personal EQ settings save to your earbuds for use with any app or smartphone until you change them, change your EQ profile, or change your EQ presets. In the app you can also toggle Game Mode, ANC Settings, toggle Multi-Point Connection, increase the volume (most of this you can do from the earbuds themselves) and you can reset the earbuds from the app too. The app lets you check battery level, change languages, and it’ll perform a fit test. I find the PeatsAudio app to be perfectly fluid and easy to use and it’s a great asset that really does separate Soundpeats from some other audio brands. I won’t go through every last tab in the app but I will tell you that you should spend some time in there to bring the Air5 Pro+ as close as possible to your particular preference.

EQ
I have always loved that Soundpeats understood their fan base enough to always include in their app some good Ole Equalization. Not only does the PeatsAudio app carry a very nice and easy to use 10-band graphic equalizer, but it also has ten different preset EQ profiles. Those being Soundpeats Classic, Bass Boost, Bass Reduce, Treble Boost, Electronic, Pop, Classical, Rock, Folk, Book Whisper (what in the world is that), Hifi, and ACG. What’s cool is that the presets actually perform what they are supposed to. I of course haven’t been using them for this review period as I’ve been on the default Soundpeats Classic profile, but I certainly have experimented with the Air5 Pro+ and those profiles. Soundpeats also adds in an Adaptive EQ. Now Adaptive EQ is there to provide an EQ setting based on your actual hearing abilities. Once you hit the button to try the feature, the app will make a series of tones with which you need to hit a button when you hear them. Ultimately the app will have an EQ that should work nicely for your particular hearing abilities. Now, I personally enjoy the actual 10-band equalizer the best. I like adding a little here, take away a bit there and I like dialing in the sound to fit my likes and dislikes. So, EQ is certainly a nice feature in my book.
How does the Air5 Pro+ take to EQ?
Very well. Soundpeats always adds in drivers which can take massive amounts of smart EQ’ing without distortion. Friends, this set takes to EQ very well. The Air5 Pro+ dials in its sound so very well. I was able to add richness to the sound with a bit more mid-bass db’s, and I was able to successfully add even more presence to the treble region (not that it needs it). Not every set is created equal when it comes to EQ. Shoot, I’ve had plenty of sets which makes very little difference with EQ. The Air5 Pro+ does a very solid job of being malleable to change. Just going through the preset EQ settings makes a drastic change. Like many different tunings in one set.
Dedicated Amplifier
I know I’ve already spoken of this earlier, but I feel that it needs to be mentioned again. That is, the Air5 Pro+ does use a dedicated amplifier. To be exact, it uses an extra XAA-2000 Aptos Class H amp. I don’t know if you’ve been around tws at all over the past few years, but it isn’t everyday an extra amp is used inside of these types of earphones. I’ve had a few which had drivers that required an extra amp to push them, but it’s rare. Usually all of the amping power comes from the SOC chip. So, once again the Air5 Pro+ uses that glorious MEMS driver which itself has an impedance of 80 ohms. That’s a lot by tws standards. However, what this amping does is give the Air5 Pro+ that extra grip in the bass, more dynamism per the volume level, a more expressive sound, and transient tightness. Basically, the amp seems to really bring the most out of the Air5 Pro+. Anyways, I thought it was worth expounding on. Pretty cool.
IPX Rating
The Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ also has a pretty good waterproofing as well. From the Soundpeats website, they state that the Air5 Pro+ is rated at IPX5, which is something we’ve seen from time to time with sets which have ANC. IPX5 will be good for random splashes or moisture from sweat. You can even go running with this set in the rain if that’s what you are into. However, you cannot submerge the Air5 Pro+ into water, drop them in a swimming pool, puddle or any other body of water. What’s nice is that if you splash water or any other liquid on the Air5 Pro+ from any direction, you won’t have to worry. I thought this was a great thing to see. Lately we’ve seen some of these brands getting lax on waterproofing their sets and so I thought that was good.


Sound Impressions
*Note: Before I dive into the sound portion of this review, I want to add a couple small things about how I listen. First off, by now I have well over 100 hours listening to this set and I have to say that the sound has cleaned up over time. A lot actually. Without question burn-in helps this set tremendously. Not that it was bad out-of-the-box, but it is more refined now. Next, I used Tenmak Whirlwind eartips for all listening. I also listen almost entirely to flac or better files (some mp3) which are stored on my devices and rarely stream music. My Android music player of choice is UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro), as well as Poweramp at times. For my Hiby daps I do use Hiby Player when connected to Bluetooth. I listen on LDAC. Not that there’s a huge change from Aptx, but the depth and dynamism to music is better on LDAC. Lastly, I am giving you sound impressions in its out-of-the-box state. Meaning, no EQ, no EQ presets, no changes from the standard sound. I may bring up some EQ changes that I’ve done throughout this review though.
The best they’ve ever tuned?
To my ears, after countless hours of listening I have found that the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ is easily one of the better tuned V-shaped sets that Soundpeats has ever made. I realize that is a very bold and very subjective take, but I think that Soundpeats brought it all together with this set. I just completed a review of the Soundpeats H3 about a month ago and I called that one of the best sounding sets they’ve ever made as well. However, I think there’s a caveat to both of those statements. The caveat being that both are the best they’ve made per the sound signature that each set was tuned with. The H3 is 100% musicality-first, sure it’s clean, but it’s completely rich, warm, melodic, and organic. The Air5 Pro+ has more levity, more of an analytical side, much more detailed and transient tight with the same level of engagement, yet in a different tonal character. Both are well done, fun, and both have a high engagement factor. For true wireless earphones they’re solid for what they are. However, this review covers the Air5 Pro+ and so I should probably stick to the script. Anyways, it simply has this effervescent and lively style whilst never losing that musical charm. I find that the collaboration of the 10mm DD and the MEMs driver is such a unique mix. Not perfectly cohesive but fun, nonetheless. I feel that the H3 is probably more cohesive throughout, but slightly less detailed, and its notes aren’t quite as contoured and crystalline in their delivery. The best part is that the Air5 Pro+ responds very well to EQ. Certainly worth your time tinkering with some db’s.
What’s it sound like?
The Air5 Pro+ has a very revealing and bold sound for a true wireless. Its sound is big with a certain fullness to it and very solid macro-dynamic energy. It has this low-end warmth and top side vivacity. However, the warmth doesn’t sound one-toned, overbearing, or dull, and the highs never sound sharp or harsh. I hear that nice tonal contrast with a vibrance that is never overdone or too luminous. Just enough to give some edge detail and crispness to notes. Nothing abrasive, nothing shouty, and there’s a solid dynamic balance between each 3rd of the mix along with good extension both ways (sub-bass & upper-treble). Very much a warm/neutral tonal coloration with a bulbous, boosted, and forward bass region, a clean and resolute midrange, as well as a very well extended, crisp, and uplifting treble region. It has been easy to like this set folks. A very rhythmic and smooth cadence, generally nice timbre, and a sound that will get your feet moving. A nice set for high-energy music, but really… this set covers most genres fairly well. I should definitely point out that the Air5 Pro+ most certainly reveals its true potential at slightly higher volumes. Cranking it up a bit seems to awaken the MEMs driver a hair better adding sprightliness, vibrance, and sparkle up top in a very talented manner while better balancing the dynamics of this set. Now there are definitely some shortcomings which I will explain in my review as I go along, but altogether I think that Soundpeats did a fine job.
Natural-ish?
Now, note weight is certainly not thin, but I also wouldn’t call it robust or lush. I think its note weight falls into the semi-rich category. I don’t feel that notes are so weighted that the sound comes through too smoothened over or too warmed by the bass, but it definitely has some subtle coloration from down low. However, the highs on this set certainly add enough luster and air that richer notes can thin out a bit. So, semi-rich. Now, the bass can be a bit much at times, but I do feel that the highs counter them very well (more on that later). Also, the highs are so technically adept and clean, along with that warm and dense bass that the overall signature has a nice mix of smooth and crisp, musical and technical, and no one area of the mix usurps dominance to the point of oversaturation (depending on your preferences). It’s a nice mix for a fun sound. Not what I’d call perfectly mature sounding but certainly refined. In my opinion I’d call the Air5 Pro+ a mild V-shaped signature with a very subtle recession of the midrange. Very subtle. Like I said, each area of the mix retains nice dynamics and presence. The midrange is definitely included in that. Having said that, the bass, upper mids, and treble are a hair more forward than the lower mids. Now, the timbre is what I’d call a “version of natural”. Not perfectly organic but also not artificial sounding either. I’d say that the highs aren’t perfectly natural with their boosted brilliance, but the rest of the mix certainly leans earthy, and organic. It’s close enough to natural that I have a hard time calling it anything but that. Again, a version of natural.
Technically Inclined
Transients are on the tighter side (past the bass region) and the background is about pitch black. The Air5 Pro+ also has a larger than average stage as well as clean note outlines. Add all of that up and you get some nice separation, black space between notes, and a better environment to hear subtle details. Let’s check out each 3rd of the mix.

Bass Region
The low-end of the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ is nicely lifted folks. A notch above moderately emphasized yet with a very full feel to them. Soundpeats decided to give this set ample low-end energy and thump. It’s a full-bodied sound which easily provides enough guttural extension for bass guitars and boom for a good kick drum. Fairly big in presence and forward in the sound field yet not so boosted that it creates a murky environment, no veil, and nothing muddy sounding in respect to the emphasis. To my ears I wouldn’t call this a speedy bass region per say, but it has a clean delivery. More like a natural decay to my ears. Somewhat atmospheric in its decay, and a decently tight delivery. I’d call it “tight for its size and quantity”. Again, it’s a boosted bass, satisfying rumble, dense and bullish when a track calls for it, and the bass definitely carries some authority. With all of that said, this is still not a basshead caliber set. I find the treble balances everything out so well that the bass never truly claims that dominant tonal edge. Very nice for anyone who enjoys a fun bass drop in your favorite hip-hop track with enough haptic sublevel feel to come across gratifying. I do hear enough of a bass bleed into the midrange to provide some warmth, some weight, some authoritative male vocals, but not to the point of veil. The Air5 Pro+ still always remains very clear and clean. Honestly, for the size of the bass it is a tasteful amount of bleed.
Bass cont…
So, for anyone thinking of picking this set up just know that you won’t be getting a super snappy and ultra defined bass with the Air5 Pro+. Sure, you can EQ this set, and it does very well using the EQ, but it won’t be that analytical style of speedy bass which perfectly sculpts every last nuance down low. However, it can resolve most notes within complicated bass tracks pretty nicely. As I said earlier, it is fairly tight for its size. I find it has clean note edges without anything that I’d call pillowy. While not perfectly defined or the most textured, the bass region never sounds bloated or muddy. It’s a rigid style low-end which mainly keeps to itself and does a solid job of presenting rounded notes with good depth, and very nice contrast to the energetic treble region.
Midrange
Looking at the midrange, I find that they have a solid presence for a V-shaped set of tws. I said earlier that there is a subtle recession of the low-mids and I stand by that, though the low-mids also receive enough low-end warmth to bolster that region providing male vocalists with a robust feel to their vocals. Timbre is very much organic as the DD which covers this region gives off a very earthy tone & timbre. Transients come through slightly cleaner and more rapid in this region as the midrange borrows some treble energy as well, helping the midrange to cohesively bond the entire mix in a nice dynamic and tonal balance. So, while the low-mids sit slightly further back in the sound field, the upper-mids are that much further forward. Females sound very nice on the Air5 Pro+ folks. Every vocal detail is illuminated well. Every instrumental nuance and harmonic is articulated well too. Females come through slightly less bolstered and robust, but they make up for it with nicely measured vibrance. The upper mids have that glaze of shimmer cresting every upper-mid note adding some levity, some air and some openness to the sound. All provided from the treble region of course. Most females come naturally, forward, and with nice control. At times I do hear a tad bit of metallic edge to this region from the MEMs driver finishing some vocal and instrumental harmonics, but for the most part females and instruments sound lovely and very melodic.
Midrange cont…
This is a very smooth midrange as well. Smooth in cadence, fluid in its expression, just energetic enough to sound vibrant, yet smooth enough to sound rhythmic and lilting in its musicality. Nothing is dry, nothing comes through thin, and nothing is so artificial that it steals focus. Again, great control, open and airy, nice note separation, and also, this region has good depth of field too. There’s some dimension to the sound field as well. I don’t hear some 2D flat plane of sound in front of me. Instead, I hear fairly distinct notes which don’t typically run together or smear. Perhaps on some bass heavy tracks you’ll have some masking, but that should be expected. For the most part the sound is very nicely bodied, good density, very full sounding, distinct, and refined for a tws. There’s honestly not much to complain about as Soundpeats truly did a great job tuning this set, and the midrange is a huge example of that.
Treble Region
This brings us to the treble region and I gotta say, Soundpeats did one of the better jobs of incorporating a MEMs driver into any set. More airy and cleanly layered than the Capsule3 Pro Plus. Folks, I’ve heard plenty of MEMs drivers in the past years which try to get the treble region right. While many of them are good, I find that the Air5 Pro+ brings it all together well. Though, I should add that not everyone is going to be a fan, which I will explain later. For now, Soundpeats did a great job putting a well done and talented bow on the upper regions of this set. Or the “icing on the cake”, if you will. To me the treble provides a solid contrasting dose of spectrum lifting brilliance to counter the bass, as well as enough extension and openness to uplift the rest of the mix, to add some levity, some zest. I love that the treble has that nice edge detail, nice note crispness and just enough treble bite. This “edge detail” is simply the result of a MEMs driver doing what a MEMs driver does. That is, uplift the entire spectrum and provide good definition to treble notes aiding the overall tonal balance, as well as a higher level of resolution. Every last finite bit of minutiae (details) is illuminated as the black background gives those subtleties a blank canvas to be heard. Also, extension is nice too. I don’t hear splashy upper treble harmonics, and everything seems to have nice control up top.
Nicely emphasized
I should clarify that Soundpeats did not overly boost this range at all. It is not a super bright treble. It is a very talented and well sculpted treble replay. Instruments like electric guitar, violin, flute, trumpet, mandolin, and certainly the secondary harmonics of a cymbal strike etc. sound clean, just forward enough, pronounced enough, whilst never coming across harsh for my ears. I do detect hints of sibilance at a very low level. Not enough to annoy. Also, you can EQ until your heart’s content. The great thing is that the Air5 Pro+’s treble region has fantastic control with clean layering of sounds and etched-out notes. Every note has the much-adored treble bite without sounding coarse or too abrasive. It’s a very fine line to walk. The difference between “too abrasive” and “good bite” is very small in my opinion and it’s easy for these brands to go too far seeking a higher level of resolution. We call that “forced-resolution”. You won’t find that on this set. Soundpeats have been at this game for too long to make that mistake. Instead, they added good and quality drivers to portray this region along with a smart base tuning so that you and I can tinker even further with EQ. That said, the treble is great as it is. Nicely done Soundpeats.

Technicalities
Soundstage
The soundstage of the Air5 Pro+ is one that I’d call “full”. It isn’t what I’d call a stadium in front of the listener, but the stage is pretty wide from side to side for a true wireless, probably just above average. Height of stage is about average too. However, the depth of field is where I tend to enjoy the Air5 Pro+ the most. It’s less common for a set of tws to have a nice stage depth but the Air5 Pro+ does have pretty good depth of field providing solid dimensions. I would probably say that the sound field is more intimate and closer to the listener too. Again, not a stadium in front of me. Sounds are wide, tall enough, deep enough, but they are more forward as well which makes a very nice listening experience. In my opinion. I happen to like a more intimate presentation, yet I like when that intimate presentation also comes across full sounding, like the Air5 Pro+. Not everyone agrees with that. What’s more important is that nothing at all sounds cramped or congested, which in my mind is most important.
Separation / Imaging
As far as instrument separation, the Air5 Pro+ is excellent for a true wireless set of in-ears. You have a nice and clean transient response frequency-wide, clean note outlines, great resolution, nice air from up top which adds some space and room to breathe for instrumentation and vocals resulting in… good separation. Nothing sounds smeared, hazy, or murky. The only region which defies that is the low-end in bass heavy tracks. I should also point out that in bass heavy tracks some masking can occur which also takes away from some of the transparency in separation. However, for the most part the entire spectrum comes through crystal clear with easily identifiable and distinct notes. Imaging is also a good quality of the Air5 Pro+ as well. Never do I have a problem placing instruments or vocals. In fact, vocals are always dead-center (unless a track is recorded differently) and left to right panning has what I perceive to be very nice positioning of sound field elements. To add to that, I hear decent-to-good layering of sounds as well which isn’t a very common attribute of true wireless earphones. Certainly, we’ve seen Soundpeats and a few other brands make some nice budget sets which layer well, but it isn’t something anyone should expect. However, the Air5 Pro+ definitely has some nice front to back layering of sounds which does help the sound field with good perceivable dimensionality. Honestly, the Air5 Pro+ does well in all the technical aspects.
Detail Retrieval
Detail retrieval is most certainly a plus for this set. That MEMs driver is a very skilled and very clean driver which can and will present details with ridiculously good clarity. However, even a MEMs driver needs a good & non-congested tuning around it to perform at its peak. Thankfully, Soundpeats tuned this set to work “with” this driver and thus the sound is highly detailed. I’d say that the bass is great, but it is the last defined region as it is fairly well boosted, but everything past that is very clean, very well contoured, airy and open, transient tight, and it’s simply a perfect soundscape for details to emerge. The beautiful thing is that the Air5 Pro+ doesn’t lack musicality, at all. This is still a fun set with good note body. Again, semi-rich, nothing too thin or frail, nothing papery or too clinical. Just another nicely done set by Soundpeats. Once again, you can certainly choose to boost the upper frequencies in the presence region and lower the bass to add an even more resolute sound if you’d like. Which brings me to the only true caveat to detail retrieval. That is, in heavier bass tracks you can have some masking of sounds which obviously takes away from many details. Again, this is something we should know and expect but it is worth it to mention.

Last Words on the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+
Another Soundpeats review is almost complete folks. I feel that every Soundpeats review I write involves a new set which is better than the last. Of course, the last set that I reviewed from Soundpeats was the H3 and I won’t say that the Air5 Pro+ is better than that set. Just different. I find that if you want a very well-done true wireless for under $150 that is packed with features and sounds fantastic, then the Air5 Pro+ is a definite winner, and you cannot go wrong. Having said that, there are some things to be aware of….
Issues…
First off, the Air5 Pro+ does lack a couple of features often seen in tws at this cost. Stuff like in-ear detection. It would have been nice to have this feature, but also, I don’t really care that much as it doesn’t change my experience at all. I know there are others who may require it. Next, the largest issue that I see is the battery life. There’s a good reason for this. However, I realize that battery may be a deal breaker. Soundpeats may need to add in a larger battery moving forward and change the physical design a bit to accommodate. I know everyone wants smaller, and more compact sets, but battery life isn’t something we can create out of thin air, it needs a big enough place to put that battery. When powering two drivers & one of those drivers is an 80-ohm MEMs, a Class H amplifier, along with ANC and the best audio codecs, it all costs battery. I live with it and never think about it, but it may be something that you just can’t live with. Again, I ran out of battery one time when blowing leaves this fall. Other than that, I always put my earbuds back into the charging case and so it’s a non-issue for me. They charge super-fast. At any rate, other issues may be that the Air5 Pro+ doesn’t have wireless charging. Once again, I could care less about this as I never use it anyways. But it may be important to you. So, take that into consideration. Beyond those issues, there are some very slight subjective tuning issues that you may have. Of course, I’m sure you can fix most of those through EQ.
Better than the last

However, by-and-large the Soundpeats Air5 Pro+ is one of the best sounding sets that have come out of the Soundpeats lineups. The “Air Pro” series has always been some of their best work and they always seem to progress and make every new iteration better than the last. Oddly enough, the Air5 Pro+ is (in my mind) much better than the Air5 Pro which was released only a very short time ago. A clear upgrade in the sound department. Friends, if you can get around some of the shortcomings then you will be getting a very well done set for the cost of $129. Also, keep in mind the Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal of $90!! The Air5 Pro+ is a solid performer in almost every aspect and well worth the cost for me.
The Why…
Because, the Air5 Pro+ has many features which put it in flagship territory. Those include three tiers of ANC which work very well, a solid transparency mode, multi-point connection, a very good gaming/low-latency mode. The Air5 Pro+ is also nice for phone calls; its build and design is great and is ergonomically sound. Furthermore, the Air5 Pro+ is so lightweight that wearing it for long periods (over an hour) is not an issue at all. Not for me anyways. All functionality is solid. Like, reduced phantom touches and good recognition of touches. Not too sensitive. All needed functions can be controlled from the touch surface. In truth, Soundpeats have been at this wireless game for so long that almost all functions are top class at this point. Also, the PeatsAudio app is one of the best there is for companion apps. Especially for true wireless. It has it all folks. Well, short of a Parametric EQ. It has everything else and has a clean UI, easy to make my way around. Another bonus is that the Air5 Pro+ actually looks super dope. It is a very good-looking set. The black on gold color contrast has always worked and will always work. The stem has that gorgeous gold overlay which makes the design pop. I realize this is totally and completely subjective, but I feel that the Air5 Pro+ is a very nice looking tws in-ear. Especially for a stem style. However, as always it will always be the sound which takes any audio product over the top…
That Sound

Without a doubt the number one and best feature of the Air5 Pro+ is the sound quality. Folks, true wireless earphones are already below wired iems by a pretty wide margin, but we are slowly beginning to hear a leveling off. Soundpeats knows this. Hence the MEMs driver, the extra Class-H amp section and recent multi-driver setups. They are putting money into their tuning, and it absolutely shows. What you get with the Air5 Pro+ is a very fun set which doesn’t lack the maturity of a clean signature. Highly resolved, highly transparent, effortlessly detailed too. It has the imaging and layering of a higher priced set. Also, the stage presents very nice dimensionality for a $129 set. The bass region is big enough to sound robust but not so big to sound bloated, overwhelming, or muddy. It’s a clean bass for the size with plenty of thump. That bass adds just enough midrange bleed to sound semi-rich, slightly warmed, organic in tone, giving males some nice presence, even in the face of a slight recession. Also, the upper midrange has that nicely vibrant replay giving females & instruments some vibrance and shimmer without causing undue fatigue. A well-tuned V-shaped style midrange for a set of true wireless. However, it’s the treble that stands out to my ears as there is plenty of brilliance, it’s sprightly, great bite, nice note crispness while keeping a smooth demeanor. Very well detailed, high quality, and solid extension into the upper treble region. Honestly folks, you’d be very hard pressed to find a set which flat-out dominates this set in sound quality. I find the Air5 Pro+ to have a high-quality sound. Add in the features and you have yourself an easy rec from me. Nice work Soundpeats.
