if you're looking for a good pair of truly wireless earphones in 2021
on a budget then the Soundpeats sonic might just be a
perfect pick for you stay tuned to find out why in this review and unboxing
hello welcome back to tech it easy so soundpeats reached out to me and said can i review their new
sonic truly wireless earphones and i have to say a pair of truly wireless earphones going for less
than 40 pounds really did intrigue me so let's see if a pair of truly wireless earphones going for such
a low price can actually be any good now i have to admit straight away my first impressions of
these earphones were actually great i was really quite pleasantly surprised when i opened the box
i was greeted by quite a nice carry case it is plastic and it's charged up via a usb type c cable
which is sort of what we expect with modern truly wireless earphones or really anything
for that matter i will admit the plastic is quite cheap but i guess you get what you pay for
but i can't imagine the case is going to survive too many drops on hard tarmac then we have the
design of the earphones themselves again quite striking quite aggressive but a really nice sort
of subtle rose gold and gray color i really like that i think it looks super smart but again there
is that cheap plastic on the outside but i would expect nothing more for the price point you have
the logo on both earphones and then subtly in the middle of the case which is also finished
in that rose gold and sort of gray color one thing i will note which is also quite nice is that the
case itself is pretty small it's a lot smaller than the sony earphones i own as well as the
urban easter ones but i will say the earphones are quite chunky they're not heavy by any means
they don't feel like they're weighing down in your ear some people might prefer the bulky ones but
i for one prefer a much slimmer design and that's one of the reasons i actually like my urban easter
earphones over my sony ones now one thing that i did find pretty cool was when you actually put
them in a case to charge they actually light up with these really bright orange leds i
love that okay so i'm gonna go ahead and pair them to my phone now and see how they do
now first thing i'm noticing now that they're in pairing mode they are starting to flash
between that white and orange so that's a nice clear indicator that they are searching i also
heard a voice prompt from the earphones which is also nice to have okay so on the bluetooth menu
they're going to come up as sound pete's sonic i'm going to click that and pair them so i'm just
going to put the right earphone in now bluetooth pairing request sound pizza sonic okay okay when
it's in your ear the voice command is very muffled very robotic but hopefully we're not gonna hear
that too much okay surprisingly very comfortable in the air and they have very good sound isolation
even without playing any music there is no active noise cancelling on these though which
again is not something i'd expect from a pair of earphones at this price point so let's play some
music and see how it does they are really good i can't believe they are less than 40 pounds
that's mad so the sound quality is really quite well balanced they're not heavy on the bass but
god i cannot believe how good they sound for such a low price genuinely blown away by them
i'd actually almost say they're better sound quality than the urbanista london's and i did
love those earphones but they sound great i will try and show you them in my ear but i have to
admit that my hair is currently crazy because in the uk barbershops are not open at the moment so i
am having big problems but yeah very comfy design i will say they don't feel like they're gonna stay
in very easily i can only feel my left earphone is a bit a little bit wobbly but they're definitely
comfortable which for me is the most important thing i'm not sure you'd want to go running with
these in but for at least sitting in the office or at home listening to music i think it'd be fine
commuting especially will be good that being said they haven't fallen out yet but maybe i need to go
for a run and actually try them out properly okay so let's see if it has the automatic pause when
you take them out your air nothing happens when you take the left one out no i can still i can
still hear them going that's fine not everybody really likes that feature um i personally find it
quite annoying on the sony earphones so now let's test if you can just use one earphone at a time
so i'm gonna put the right one back yep left one is still working so let's pull the right one out
yep left one is back in the charging case that's right one is still working that is brilliant
that's actually something that's quite annoying on even more expensive truly wireless earphones
the fact that you can't just use one earphone at a time really does annoy me sometimes
and that's great that you can just put one back in the case and have one in your left or right ear
okay so it is the next day and i've just been for a quick stroll with the soundbeat sonic
audio in my ears i kind of wanted to test them out on the move rather than just sitting still
and i had to say they were fine so a few things that i learned on the journey was that they do in
fact stay in your ears i only had to readjust them a couple of times they do always feel a bit loose
but they didn't actually fall out so that's a good thing another thing there was no connection drops
i was out for about 30 to 40 minutes i didn't notice a single connection drop which is great
so before we finish up let's go over some of the specs so these are actually bluetooth 5.2 which is
probably why i didn't experience any connection issues and they also have qualcomm cbc noise
reduction technology now i'm going to highlight again these do not have active noise cancelling
just noise reduction which i have to admit does work great it doesn't completely get rid of the
sound of cars and things like that you're still very much aware of them so i wouldn't say they're
particularly close to active noise cancelling but it is better than nothing lastly with these you're
gonna get 35 hours of playback time which is great seem better seem worse and lastly they do actually
have a game mode which is a pretty cool feature so if you're into mobile gaming these may be a
really good choice for you with the release of things like project xcloud becoming a bit more
popular now i'm sure many of you will find some use for these one important thing i did forget
to mention is that these are ipx5 water resistant so if you get caught out in the rain you're going
to be absolutely fine and you can take these in the gym with you so one thing i should probably
quickly cover is the touch controls now these are not touch sensitive like these sony wx m3s
you do actually have to give it a little bit of a push and it is a clicky sort of response back what
we have here is a list of functions so a single tap will play slash pause the music volume you
can double tap the left or right ear to raise or lower the volume previous track press and hold the
left or the right earphone and you can actually answer and hang up calls using your earphones
so they do have a built-in microphone and what you can do when you get an incoming call is just a
single press on the right earphone will answer the call for you whilst on subjects of taking calls i
thought i'd switch to a quick sound test so this is what your voice is gonna sound like when you're
using the soundpiece sonic microphone you can also get access to your voice assistant so whether it
be siri or google assistant by triple tapping on the right earphone then lastly you have your
game mode now i briefly spoke about this earlier so if you want to make use of this what you have
to do is triple tap the left earbud and that will activate the game mode and what this does is it
reduces the latency between the playback device and your wireless earphone so what is my overall
conclusion on the soundbeats sonic truly wireless earphones well honestly they've really really
impressed me these are definitely going to be the budget truly wireless earphones i'm gonna start
recommending to people the only negative comment i have about these is that they do always feel
like they're gonna fall out my ears they never have done but they did feel a little bit loose
if you do have this issue i would recommend trying out some of the different ear tips
obviously everyone has different ears so everyone's gonna have different experiences
but yeah a great sounding pair of earphones they're definitely not up to par with the
sony wx m3s but there is about 150 or 150 pounds price difference there so that does
not bother me at all i think the sound in these is absolutely amazing for 40 pounds or less
so give them a go let me know in the comments section what you think of them
and a big thank you to soundpeats for sending these out to me i really really enjoyed reviewing
