  • Are these Peats by Professor Pre?

    Edit: Oh… Peats by Dr. Dröt

    • This is a brand "SoundPEATS" which have been in Australian market for almost 3 years, the quality is good, after-sale service is awesome, warranty time is long, price is reasonable. Feel free to have a try.

        If you're offering a free try then I'm in.
        Otherwise I'll pass. Thanks.

          I got a pair of these - https://www.amazon.com.au/SoundPEATS-Bluetooth-Headphones-Wi…

          and I must say for the price it is pretty Impressive.

          I use it for working around the garden and at work when the office gets too noisy.

          The first pair I received was faulty, Support was responsive and the second pair sent out is good. I'm still using it now.
          I'm not an audiophile but I do like a bit of bass and clear sound.
          I have these ones:
          1. Brainwavz Delta
          2. SoundPEATS Bluetooth Headphones(one I posted above)
          3. Meizu EP51&52

          This is according to my personal preference.

          If you're after serious listening(I call them BOSE level), I'd recommend you go into the 3 figure ones and other brands.

          For myself I think this brand and price range suits me. Feel free to give it a try if you have $40 to spare.
          Otherwise save it and put it into the better brand. ^_^

            @Andreu: Lol. I don't wear in-ear or earbud style headphones. Statistically increased chance of ruining your hearing.

              • -1

                @onlinepred: Yes. I work in audiometry. And yourself?

                • -1

                  @Tiggrrrrr: So although more people's hearing may be damaged from earbuds, you should know that this is because there more earbuds out there, and the majority of people don't really concern or know about hearing damage. So statistically yes, but that's because more people use them.

                  IEM requires less volume compared to other earbuds or headphones, so by it's very nature, they have less risk than non-iem. So by saying that you don't wear in ear or earbud style headphones is naive to link them to increased chance of ruining hearing, as simply having any source of sound that is loud enough and targeted towards your ear can result in the same thing - this relates to headphones and earbuds as I'm sure you already know. Apparently audiometry doesn't teach you this basic concept of how statistics work and logic is applied?

                  • -1

                    @onlinepred: Wow. Personal attack time huh?
                    1) In-ear phones create a direct path to your ear drum. End result higher incidence of damage.
                    2) In-ear phones seal the cavity and create a pressure chamber. End result a relatively undampened sound wave constantly reverberating your ear drum (and nerves).
                    3) Statistically speaking is not just about number of users. The statistic I am referencing is the percentage of over-ear users with damage vs the percentage of in-ear users with damage. You can correct for sample and population size if you wish and it will make little difference in this case.

                    Anyway. Have a good life in your bubble of ignorance.

                    • @Tiggrrrrr: WHO literally says limit your time with HEADPHONES AND earphones rofl.

                      " and, if possible, noise-cancelling earphones/headphones. They can also limit the time spent engaged in noisy activities by taking short listening breaks and restricting the daily use of personal audio devices to less than one hour. "

                      So literally the reference you trust, is saying it applies to headphones and earphones - as you guessed it - the result is mostly the same.

                      Again, your statistic means nothing at all, it would assume that everyone has the same knowledge of hearing loss and the effects of loud sounds to their hearing. You could draw an easy assumption that the majority of earbud users are not educated in this and bias the results for your purpose.

                      Anyways…..ignorance is bliss when you are a professional I guess.

                      What is interesting, is that there have been some early studies into the affect of over ear headphones causing excess moisture in the ear and the long term effects this can cause. It could be related to excess ear wax, and also the same over stimulation of the sensitive hairs. Anyway moral of the story, any prolonged use of earphones or headphones can be bad - noise cancelling is the best bet as it reduces the need to increase the volume - either earbuds or headphones.

                      • @onlinepred: How many articles are you referencing by WHO, which publication years, and in which publications?
                        Actually, I don't really care. As I said you are entitled to your own life.

                        I am also entitled to mine. As stated above I don't wear in-ear style earphones. I didn't tell you or anyone else not to wear them. It's my choice, as it is to not smoke cigarettes or drink beer. If you are happy with your summation and feel that the perceived benefit outweighs the perceived risk, then that's your choice. It doesn't have to be mine.
                        I also don't wear over ear headphones for any prolonged period; and if I have to wear something it would be on-ear types, and even then for less than an hour.

                        As for noise cancelling, yes these are a good choice when there is background noise involved, but the issue remains with any listening device is that it relies on user perception to regulate volume. As for the need to increase volume, it has been shown that after prolonged listening many users have a tendency to increase volume.

                        In summation, I don't really care what kind of listening devices you use. I don't wear in-ear or earbud style earphones.

                        • @Tiggrrrrr: In summation, you don't wear them as you don't like them. Nothing to do with hearing damage etc. Glad we got there in the end!

                          I love music so I go to concerts and listen to music via headphones most of the day, drink beer as I love the taste of it, don't smoke as that's actually stupid. Makes me a risk taker compared to you haha. Then again I drive, go outside, use a phone, etc so all perceived risk.

                          • @onlinepred: I'm not sure where you read that. I don't wear them for the reasons stated in my reply above that you chose to ignore. In fact, I chose not to wear headphones in general if it can be avoided.

                            Again, everyone makes a decision about what they do based on their own cost benefit assessment. Do I want to increase my chance of hearing damage? No. Is it a negligible risk, perhaps. If your decision is based on your preference, then good for you. I'm glad that you got there.

            • +1

              @Tiggrrrrr: Erm.. I think ear damage really depends on how high you set the volume to.
              I can still hear the ambulance or police sirens when I am working.

              When pushing my mower, it acts more like a ear protection for me.
              In office… I can still hear my boss calling me from two seats behind me. :)
              Thanks for your reminder anyway. I’ll keep that in mind.

              • -2

                @Andreu: Refer above to the word "statistically". refer studies by WHO among others.

                It is well documented that prolonged use of earphones can cause hearing damage. Add to this that over the course of listening (especially using in-ear style earphones) there is a perceived reduction of volume, leading to users adjusting volume up.
                As such, listening to music through earphones is not recommended for periods longer than 1hour.

                As for the in-ear vs over-ear debate. The basic premise is the distance between the driver and your ear drum, as well as the volume of air. The path of the noise is more torturous for over ear design. Whereas in-ear type effectively create a pressure chamber…

                Anyway. Use whatever listening devices suit you. I just personally don't use in-ear type.

                • +1

                  @Tiggrrrrr: I think in-ears actually have a noise-isolating affect (from the in-ear seal), with less noise from the outside being audible, so you probably have to turn up the volume less than with traditional ‘earphones’.
                  You may be confusing the two, people in this comment thread are referring to ‘in-ears’ which actually go inside your ear canal and creates a seal with the foam/rubber tip.
                  Traditional earphones are more likely to allow outside noise in, so you may be more likely to turn the volume up higher.

                  In any case regardless of what equipment you use, you can damage your hearing with exposure to extended periods of sound over 84~85dBA (according to dB measuring device instructions).

                  Noise-induced hearing loss is irreversible but 100% preventable.
                  85dB(A) 8 hours a day considered hazardous.
                  100dB(A) 15 minutes risks permanent hearing loss.
                  110dB(A) 1.5 minutes risks permanent hearing loss.

                  If you are really concerned with protecting your hearing you should be measuring your earphone levels.

                  • -2

                    @thebadmachine: Over ears can also have a noise isolating effect.

                    I'm not confusing the two, but thanks for clarifying that in-ear means in the ear.

                    • +1

                      @Tiggrrrrr: Yes over-ears can, but in terms of out-right isolation while listening to music, I have heard certain in-ears with proper body-heat activated memory foam tips can do a better job at isolating in certain environments (one example was on a plane) than Noise-Cancelling Over-ear Headphones. (Shure have a range of noise-isolating in-ears, give them a try and you may be surprised).

                      Which of the two is damaging your hearing more is another question all together, as yes in-ears get awfully close to your ear-drums, and Over-ear Headphones can get louder.
                      Also personally I think Noise-cancelling is still too early to be considered healthy for your hearing (your hearing is being exposed to monotonous frequencies to cancel out the noise, often for hours at a time depending on environment).
                      (I would expect the long term-effects to be ‘dips’ in your hearing like in a frequency response graph of a non-flat sound measurement)
                      I choose over-ear Headphones due to comfort (in-ears get sore quickly).
                      Still refuse to use noise cancelling though. Ruins the sound quality and I think it may be harmful in the long run.

                      • @thebadmachine: With regards to a noise seal, a good pair of over-ears are almost on par with in-ears.

                        On-ears aren't great however.

                        Interesting perspective on the noise cancelling. In theory the frequencies generated are out of phase with those they are "cancelling" so you shouldn't be exposed, however as you rightly point out, this will also reduce the quality of the audio at those frequencies.

                        Personally I try to limit headphone use. On planes and public transport I prefer to wear hearing protectors instead, and failing that a pair of over-ears which aren't plugged into anything. Admittedly the latter gets you strange looks.

                        • @Tiggrrrrr: I am aware the NC produces out-of-phase frequencies, but I imagine it is more exploiting your hearing by generating those frequencies which your ears react to (by increasing/decreasing sensitivity) than actually producing real ‘silence’.
                          It is a foreign concept to me so I will end my thoughts here, I just think it is more hearing exploitation than innovative solution.

                          • @thebadmachine: No exploitation, just mathematics. The "noise" you hear can be represented by a sine wave for each frequency. So the total noise is the summation of these. NC works by applying a 180 offset sine wave for each frequency (crude explanation) so the summation becomes 0 (in theory) at any given time. [It's not always 100% especially given the analogue technology employed in consumer headsets, however it can be close.]

                            That aside, the technology isn't really new. It's been around since the 1950's, and was developed for noise reduction in cockpits. Sure it wasn't until the late 1980's that the first NC headphones were produced (thanks to Bose), but the technology is still relatively the same as that employed today. I'm not aware of any studies in the last 30 years that have suggested NC headphones are bad for you (with the exception of some people reporting nausea after prolonged periods of use) but if you know of any would be happy to read them.

                            • @Tiggrrrrr: Can these NC things be built to cancel out the voice of certain individuals?

                              Asking for me.

                          Here's a set for you.

  • Are these any good for casual use indoors?

    • You don't need a cable to plug into your mobile phone or mobile device, and the sound quality of this headset is pretty good.

  • do you charge these? can't see the connection…

    • yeah, charge for 1-2 hours can get full energy back. There's a very small Android charging port.

    This magnetic concept sounds neat. So you can have them stuck together like a necklace and be confident they will stay around your neck.

    You aren't running a sale on QC 30s are you?

    • I'm keen to know this too :). I'd like to buy some QC30s but I'm waiting for a sale to justify them because I don't technically NEED them.

    • Why q30 when there’s q34? Is it because it’s all the same?

    • Hello Dear Friend,

      I'd like to be friends with the Q30 Plus.

  • Q12 only Bluetooth 4.1 I think there is one with 5.0 but there is no mic. The product range seems flawed.

    Would buy if 5.0 with mic.

    • BT 5.0 means nothing in this probe range mate. BT 5.0 is a set of optional improvements over 4.2, majority don't implement them, let alone most phones. This price range it's just used to sell to gullible.

      • you got evidence to back that up? or is this just heresay

        • +2

          They are just saying that a product claiming a certain BT version, is entitled to pick and choose which features (codecs/modes) it includes within its function.
          A device or earphones can be sold as BT 5.0 without Apt-X HD or Apt-X LL codec support or simultaneous audio to 2 earphones etc. There is nothing that states every BT 5.0 must support all features.

          The following applies mainly to lossless audio:
          This is the main reason I am still weary of Bluetooth. There is a serious lack of consistency. You can get a device that supports a codec, and a headphone that supports the same codec, but depending on the standards of the smart device or headphone you get, the results can be a gamble.
          Let’s go with SBC, the oldest codec, some Android phones transmit very high bitrate SBC, beating frequency response of more modern (and supposed to be better) AAC and Apt-X HD codecs on other devices.
          Then you switch to another Android phone with the same headphones, now the SBC codec is transmitting at a poorer standard and you get a much worse frequency response & compression compared to AAC and Apt-X HD.
          Repeat these variable consistency with different headphone options, and in the end (without a lot of research) you will be uncertain of what you a really getting.

          To be fair the more recent codecs such as Apt-X HD / AAC / LDAC seem to have better consistency.
          I will be waiting on Bluetooth until it supports/transmits just 1 Hi-Res universal codec with consistent results all round with whichever device (Media streamer / DAP / Smart device etc) or brand.

          • @thebadmachine: Clearly if labelled BT 5.0 then it has at least one or more of these optional features, which in my opinion make it better than BT 4.1/4.2. Quite a few people here claim that BT 5.0 gives more stable connection so less drop outs. Anyway, this cheap chinese stuff under $40 won't last the distance - they just fail after 6-12 months. waste of money.

          • @thebadmachine: If you want 20khz+ frequency response & CD quality dynamic range with low noise floor. LDAC 660/990kbps is the only codec available. And it is currently very limited in its availability (supported products).

            Edit: Also AAC being a newer codec is quite disappointing. Even on Apple devices (where it performs best) it is behind SBC in certain areas. Apt-X / Apt-X HD has the similar issues of exclusivity (availability). SBC seems like the most common codec, but it is the most dated, therefore has poor bit to bit compression & decompression.

        • https://www.xda-developers.com/check-bluetooth-5-all-feature…

          First check if your phone even supports Amy of them.

          Then realise that BT 5 is just a set of optional features that cost money and they don't have to advertise what they support.

          https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ak2tqq/what_is_rea…

          • @onlinepred: If you read those references then you would know that there are some features that are MANDATORY for BT 5.0. You can’t market a product as BT 5.0 when it’s not, and saying it is based on it not supporting the optional features is wrong - The “cooler” features of BT 5.0 are optional.

            People need to be weary of what they read and how to interpret it, and not pick and choose what suits them or make generalisations.

            • @MuddyClear: Yep agreed 100%, and for those that assume bt 5.0 offers an upgrade over 4.1 or 4.2 need to realise this is only true for a very small array of products.

    • One of the optional implementations of 5.0 would be the ability to listen to 2 Bluetooth earphones from 1 device.
      Though this will have its compromises (possibly decreased volume/bitrate, and increased latency).

  • What's difference from Q30 Plus vs Q12?

    • Q12 can be connected to two devices at the same time, Bass is pretty good

      • I can’t think of a situation where you would want to connect to two devices at the same time

  • https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_odkw=yamaha&_ssn=k.g.ele…

    Just thought i’d leave this here. Extra 20% off with current PEACE code.
    Body heat activated memory foam can produce a better seal with improvements in isolation and sound quality (leading to lower volume levels needed to preserve hearing).
    Check measurements with your current tips to make sure you get the right size.

    Disclaimer: When using in-ears and other sound isolating audio equipment please be aware of your surroundings.
    I recommend using them only when sitting still (on a bench/bus/train or plane).

    • Yes, don't be that chick that walked past a bunch of people waiting for a train to pass into an oncoming train with earbuds in her ear.

      I am constantly astounded by all the jerks crossing the road with their funky air pods stuck in their ears without bothering to check for traffic. Mindless confidence in everyone respecting the little green man.

      • In the public’s defence there are people who walk around normally with nothing in their ears, and they still nearly get run over once in while (due to entirely the driver’s fault for trying to take a corner without checking for last minute pedestrian crossers).
        Those people thankfully were looking and aware of their surroundings so are able to react and alert the driver (with hand motions/expressions etc). While you have people who are walking staring down at their phone, absolutely clueless to the fact they nearly got hit by a car.
