  To head the usual questions, ive owned both revisions of the air2 (one got run over by a car when I dropped them at the servo).

  Sound quality is probably the best non-canal-phones ive used (went through about a dozen, trying to find decent ones).

  Battery life is brilliant.

  Fit for me is perfect; but 'ipod' silicone sleeves, or generic foam covers fit the buds and help seal for other people.

  Microphones are loud.

  Has a low latency mode for gaming. (Fidelity suffers)

  Noise cancellation is minimal at best. Callers can hear my foot-fall if im walking and talking.

  Antennas are weak. Dropouts are rare, but you need to keep the phone in a front/side pocket; bag or back pocket is likely to hear stuttering.

  Stuttering is worse on iPhones; from a little packet sniffing it looks like iphones change bluetooth bitrate less aggressively than Android (perhaps the no AptX causes this?)

  2 friends bought these on my advice and report all the same.

  I would (and did!) Buy again.

    Wow, surprised to see this.
    Mine are insanely good (purchased Late April 2021)! They happily hold connection to my Simplecom USB dongle with no artifacts at +15m through a couple of internal walls and a brick wall. (me standing at my car in the car park at work connecting to my PC in the office)

    Otherwise agreed.

      I actually agree with you.

      Any dongle with a half wave antenna or better, seems to do amazingly.

      My simplecom dongle covers my entire unit also.

      My assumption is that its the recieve gain of the larger antenna in a PC dongle makes the difference; since phones tend to use 1/4 wave antennas at best; and BT wants packet confirmations.

      I havent tested that theory; but its the only one I can figure after re-reading the bluetooth standards that makes sense to me.

      • 

        AEKaBeer on 19/01/2022 - 13:53

        Off topic but did you have to mess around with the simplecom dongle to get it to work? I picked up 3 at the beginning of the year and couldn't get anything to connect to the PC's they were plugged into.

    Sound quality is probably the best non-canal-phones ive used

    Really not comparable still to Galaxy buds live and IMO not as good as Airpods gen 2 or gen 3 - all the same fitment style of non-canal.

    Battery life for me is still worse than Airpods gen 2 and buds live, far worse than gen 3.

    Mic is worse than buds live by a fair bit, and both are significantly worse than airpods.

    Still like most Soundpeats buds, one bud can disconnect randomly, and you need to either reset them or put them both back in the case and take them out again. Very frustrating.

    BT Signal is very weak, pockets for example are enough to make it stutter.

    For the price though, they are quite good, just don't expect them to be better than the more expensive buds like airpods or buds live.

    • 

      MasterScythe on 19/01/2022 - 12:44

      Im confused; you say they're not comparable, but then compare them?

      Those complaints must be rare; I have 6 different soundpeats TWE (only 3 are mine; rest are partners), and none have ever suffered single sided drops; and never reception problems from pockets, even on my 6ft8 friend. Though; back pocket can do it, if the RF area is noisy.

      Its amazing how much BT range increases if you're not near wifi.

      5 hours battery isnt the best, but its not really a weak point (it gets whats advertised, for sure).

      Audio signature is hardly worth commenting on; because its so personal.

      I find both the galaxy and apple range to be massively low-mid boosted; and things like violins suffer in classical and country music.

      I find you also lose some sparkle from the "amaze" and "shine" synth voices, if you're into edm.

      I think the important thing to note on audio quality, is that even to someone like myself, who has had a career in tuning professional equipment; they're totally non-offensive (I think great for sub $50; but to each their own). People can argue 'good' vs 'best' till the cows come home; but if anyone called it 'bad', well, you just know you've found a customer who loves flavoured audio (and id direct them to Beats and Sony; not the likes of Koss, for example)

      I question the quality of competitor that could be introduced, at even double the budget; second hand market included.

      • 

        onlinepred on 19/01/2022 - 13:12

        You said "Sound quality is probably the best non-canal-phones ive used", that's why I compared. Perhaps you meant budget buds

        Yes, EDM and certain genres would suit these well as they are heavily boosted highs and lows out of the box. Luckily the Galaxy buds live can easily be tuned with supplied software with 6 presets or custom.

        I have 6 different soundpeats TWE
        This is why I went away from SoundPeats, as I was always buying the newer ones in hopes they would be better. I ended up spending much more money than I would have just buying good buds in the first place hey. Keeping in mind the galaxy buds live are readily available at around $100.

        Case wise, I do find both air 2 and 3 cases to be VERY low quality, with the magnets being very weak, and the lids to get loose over time

          @onlinepred:

          Luckily the Galaxy buds live can easily be tuned with supplied software with 6 presets or custom.

          Assuming we're talking about mobile; Agreed, with a HUGE asterisk.
          Only if you have a good phone.

          My parents phones constantly force-exit the samsung software.
          They're not old; Nokia 1.4.
          Just trying to listen to an audio book on the QLD Library App; nope.
          They were returned.
          They met the requirements of "Android 5.0 or higher, with over 1.5GB of RAM" but were unstable as HELL.

          What we're discussing is opinions anyway now, so I'm not the type of (profanity) who's going to say your opinions are wrong
          Because for you, they're absolutely not.

          However, I do think they may be based on a narrower hardware use case than a lot of folk might have;
          the software just isn't widely available.

          Take a typical day for me: Zoom calls at work, Connect to my phone for the ride home, Connect to the TV while I make dinner, Connect to my watch while I go for a jog; then recharge.
          For most, only the phone would allow that tuning; and even then, only if it's Android or Apple (which mine is not; Ubuntu Mobile).

          It's very much a horses for courses scenario here.

          I've never been worried the Apple converts, or the Samsung businessmen are going to buy-out the stock of my more budget favorites, so I'm not actually trying to convert anyone.
          I only bother having these discussions because I just feel like most of the 'pros and cons' people come up with, are based around their personal experience, not around providing solutions for a market; and people who might be well suited to a $35 pair of TWE' will be 'convinced' to spend almost triple that.

    AEKaBeer on 19/01/2022 - 13:59

    Similar positive experiences and the same with the antennas. The moment your body gets in the way and there are no walls for the signal to bounce off of then they start to drop out.

    I'm not a fan of the texture of the plastic, the tronsmart onyx ace is smoother and more comfortable and the case really needs an indicator to let you know when it's running low. Plenty of times when I thought there was enough power only to find the buds were dead when I needed them.

    Other than that very good sound for their size and loud enough for my walks.

    studentl0an on 19/01/2022 - 14:01

    Are you sure there's a low latency/gaming mode on the Air 2?

    It's not mentioned in the specs.

        Strange - all the listings I can find specifically state that the 2+ was when gaming mode was added.

        Even the thorough reviewer at scarbir.com omits any mention of gaming mode on the 2.

          AEKaBeer on 19/01/2022 - 16:17

          @studentl0an: I think you're right, triple tap on my air 2's launches googles voice assistant.

          MasterScythe on 19/01/2022 - 16:38

          @studentl0an: The 3 pairs in my house all do gaming mode.

          Triple tap on revision 1 (without the case charging led) was assistant.

          On revision 2 its gaming mode. Certainly not the plus models. And all purchased a few monrths apart.

    Air3 has wireless charging.

      CVonC on 19/01/2022 - 12:53

      No it doesn't and neither does the Air2. The Air2+ has it though.

      Air3 has no LED light on the buds and a shorter stem. Air3 has a smaller charger with smaller capacity. Air3 has game mode and in-ear detection (auto pause/play which you cannot disable).

  I have a couple of Trueair2 sets and find them pretty good. I mainly use them for watching TV and there is almost no lag - and the signal is good if I get up and walk around. Other brands I have - including Samsung - lose bluetooth sync if I move away from the TV.

  The only issue I have is these will not automatically connect with my Sony TV when I turn them on. Every other set I have, including an older Trueair will connect automatically. If I turn these on before the TV, they will connect, but won't if the TV is already on. I am guessing this is a TV/Sony issue, rather than the Trueair2 sets.

  I got these Trueair2. It's good enough. Sad that the case doesn't have an indicator how much charge is left inside.
  I have problems of dropouts tho. Not sure whose fault. I turn them on, make a call. BT says it's connectd, but call is coming thru speaker. Then after 5s the buds say it's disconnected. It'll do this a few times, phone in my hand sitting at my desk.

  Sound quality? I've used these, used tronsmart, plantronics, etc etc.
  THEY ALL SUCK for call quality. People know and it sounds worse than talking into your phone. But perfectly usable.
  Good news is they suck equally for these $20 and $200 ones. So save your $

    MasterScythe on 19/01/2022 - 13:02

    Sad that the case doesn't have an indicator how much charge is left inside.

    It does now. Right between the earpiece sockets 3 colour to let you know how much is left.

    It was a silent update, all the ones shipped since the end of 2020 have been the new batch (touch wood). Ive ordered several as gifts; plus my replacement set after I damaged them.

    My mic is loud and clear, just no noise cancelling, so if there's background noise that praise falls off fast.

    Some iphone users have reported bad mics; but I cant get it to replicate on my android phones. Ymmv I guess.

  • 

    onlinepred on 19/01/2022 - 13:19

    Airpods gen 3 is my go to video chat buds, the mic is a big update over gen 2, and honestly it's better than nearly all inbuilt mics on laptops, especially in noisy environments. They are substantially better than any Soundpeats buds I have used, which in the past have been absolutely terrible if you are not in a silent room, air 2 was OKAY, and air 3 was a little better but still quite bad compared to my go to airpods or galaxy buds live. So not really a case of saving money, more than just buy for what suits you. If you are in a silent room then pretty much any of these budget buds will suit you.

    • 

      furyou on 19/01/2022 - 13:45

      I haven't owned any Airpods but I did hear a recording of a voice call on one of the review things.
      I felt the noise cancel makes it sound really fake, as do all other brands.
      The holy grail is sth that sounds like I'm holding the phone to my ear. bg noise is bg noise, I'd rather my voice sounds natural than robotic.

      • 

        MasterScythe on 19/01/2022 - 14:29

        You find that a lot with reviewers, or people who are brand aligned.

        People think Apple devices sound "correct", not bass heavy.
        Or Sennheiser doesnt have pumped mids.
        Or Pioneer doesnt boost the highs.

        Its all down to if you're a clinical listener or are happy for the sound to be wrong, but better for you.

        Same with calls; I also HATE noise cancelling, there's not a single brand other than Blackberry OS10 devices that I feel managed to get the balance right.

        They're playing a game of 'all or nothing'. The current big boys seem to forget the goal (clear discussion) behind the technology (noise canceling). And they put the tech before the goal.

        • 

          furyou on 19/01/2022 - 14:41

          @MasterScythe: yeah to me noise cancelling is getting rid of the hiss & unnatural stuff. Not I'm at a football game make me sound like I'm in the office.

          Reviews are hard to find too, very rare for them to review more than 4-5 sets. I got the top model plantronics for calls one once, sounded like I'm talking thru a pillow. The other side doesn't want to talk to me. Returned it.

  I bought these last Jan ($35.24 delivered back then so the same price). I use them for a few hours every day while out walking and for all my calls (Phone in back pocket). Now that a year has passed, I can say they are great and have never missed a beat. Call quality is decent (I ask for feedback from callers) and as others have pointed out, they do pick up background noises. Decent value indeed and would buy again if current ones break.
