These are sound pete's mini pro tws earbuds so they run with bluetooth 5.2 tech
and the chipset is qualcomm's 3040 which does give us the aptx adaptive codec support with these
and the drivers within them are 10 millimeters and they do deliver some powerful base and if we're
able to achieve that run time that they claim of seven hours with the noise cancelling off or
with that 35 decibel noise cancelling on you get around five hours as their claim and an additional
two charges from the case included with the mini pros you will find two large silicon tips and two
small ones the medium size are on the earbuds themselves we're going to type c to type a
cable charge time is around one to two hours and then a user guide right here now i do recommend
you check out this user guide it goes over the functions of them the status led at the front
and most importantly the touch controls which are different for every brand
the case is made out of quality plastic here the lid's held in place with a magnet so it shuts
closed stays closed and nothing rattles around they're not retining inside there so we have a
status led in the front which will let us know the battery life of the case now the case will give us
two additional charges so it varies if you're using for example the active noise cancellation
then you're getting around 5 hours an additional 10 here from the case or seven hours with a total
of 21 play time if you're not using the active noise cancellation with it on the back there you
see that we do have the type c port of course for charging and as mentioned it's around one
to two hours to charge the case and the earbuds within them and they fit in there nice and snug
so you've got status leds just at the bottom of them and i'll just pull them out show them
quickly here so one of the earbuds you can see the charging contacts right there the little pins
pretty standard there and we do have a little filter right inside there and the silicon tip
so these are the mediums which fit me just fine so make sure you find of course the tips that are
going to fit your ears everyone's different once you do that you get the proper base the ambient
noise reduction and then the noise cancellation can all work properly of course build quality very
good of them so these earbuds only weigh about five and a half grams each with the case the total
weight is only 38 grams and i do like the size of this case it is tiny and it fits in a pocket for
example in my jeans here without any issues at all so at the back we have capacitive touch controls
we have this little silver design there and this part that's facing down is where the status led
so when you insert them in your ear you've got to give them a little twist
and this part then is facing down if you have them like that or that then you're not actually
wearing them correctly so there's no sharp edges around here that i can really feel and
the plastics look pretty good and you can see some of the microphones there that are used for
the ambient noise reduction and later on i'll give you a micro phone sample of what the mini
pros sound like now this will vary on the phone you're using i'm using android here obviously and
this is a k30 pro zoom that does have the qualcomm snapdragon 865 now under my bluetooth options here
i can see that they are connected and it's using the aptx adaptive codec here which is
the best codec that i wanted to use the lowest latency and it's supporting it which is great
now if your phone does not support aptx then it'll be using the sbc codec that's if you're
on android of course and if you're using an iphone then it's going to be the aac codec
now this is my first experience with sound pete's as a brand and the mini pros here
i definitely have to commend them and just say fantastic job they've done really with the tune
on these so do find that with the 10 millimeter drivers we are still getting some very decent bass
out of these remember you need to have a good seal with them but i've noticed that the base
is powerful you can push the volume quite loud but they don't clip they don't distort they're
not interfering with the mids vocals sound quite good they're quite clear the highs are reasonably
crisp and detailed so that is good because a lot of the time these earbuds that i review so many
of them just have the bass just pushed up really high they forget about moments and forget about
the highs and the treble so it does sound very balanced to my ears if a tiny bit leaning towards
pushing up the bass a bit of course i'm testing here with a graphic equalizer that is completely
flat so this is the tune as you get them as sound pete's have tuned them out of the box i think is
fantastic especially for the price they sell these for what about our latency so they do use the
qualcomm 3040 chipset and the latency is around 60 milliseconds now with the snapdragon 865 that i've
got right here i don't notice any problems with watching for example netflix amazon prime video it
does seem in time with people's mouse and perfect sync really not enough to bother me or that i'm
actually noticing it at all so i think they are good if you've got of course an android phone with
a more recent chipset the latency is going to be good there and you're using the adaptive the aptx
adaptive codec there now if you're using an iphone that's what i've noticed it seems to be a little
bit out and a slight delay as for gaming i'm not really having an issues when i strike and hit this
zombie here that's exactly when i'm hearing the sound so i just think if as long as you've got a
modern android phone here you're not going to have any problems with the latency and especially if
you're using of course the aptx adaptive codec there that's the one you want and a microphone
sample now this has been recorded directly into the timeline of my video editor connected up with
bluetooth five so the sound beats here mini pro i think they're not the clearest you can hear
at times sometimes a little bit of distortion with the microphones now it's using qualcomm's
ambient noise cancellation tech blocking out background noise the main thing is with these that
i can still be understood it's just not exactly the clearest i've heard in terms of microphones
so what are they like to wear they are quite comfortable here and just jumping up and down now
they don't feel like they're going to pop out on me and if you run around a little bit they
don't feel bad either but occasionally i do feel like i need to press them in just like they feel
like they're coming loose a little they're not as solid as some of those sports orientated ones
that have the wings on them the air wings that really lock them into place but i haven't had
any problems with these ones with disconnections all them dropping out on me the time i've been
using them now and on to the battery life so their claim is five hours with the ambient
noise reduction mode on now i'm getting just over four hours and 20 minutes so there's a
little bit of a difference there but that's kind of normal i don't know what volume they test that
or what genre of music they're listening to so there's always a bit of a difference there
now if you turn off the ambient noise cancellation if you need the extended battery life
then you're going to get up to about seven hours and you get an additional two charges out of the
case now we've got the capacitive touch controls on these which is straightforward and every brand
is different so these ones when you just tap its volume up or volume down and that comes
through on my phone so it's a global volume control which is good you tap and hold you can
go to the next track and you've got triple tap feature as well then to launch your assistant
and we've got on this side so with the left if you tap and hold you can then cycle through
they've got the active noise cancelling mode pass-through mode and then the anc now i wanted
to talk a bit about the pass-through mode to me it's a little bit disappointing i think that sound
peaks need to boost up the gain of the volume of the microphones just boost up that gain so it can
actually pass through more sound it's a little on the low side to me compared to other brands
which when you use that pass-through feature you can actually hear a lot more it's almost
like having a powerful hearing aid and you get super hearing and you can hear sounds all around
but it's not that effective their pass-through mode with these now the active noise cancelling
definitely does work because i can hear it cutting down noise of for example my desktop pc fan
my laptop fans air conditioning fan i can't really hear it nope i can't hear it at all okay
it's blocking that out so it's definitely doing its job but is it 35 decibels the reduction that
it's giving us i've got no way to measure that of course but compared to other brands it seems
a little less powerful just a bit less powerful than some of the others that i've covered out
there so it's not quite as good as them but you still hear that it's working it's definitely doing
something with that sound and i do have a good seal with these with the medium tips now they
have been comfortable wearing these for hours on end i haven't had any problems they're only about
five five and a half grams each so they're super light and they don't stick out they're not
huge and that's great i've had no problems with disconnections either the volume has been good so
all up i think these are excellent the mini pros here from sound pete's especially when it comes
to that tune as i talked about that that it's very balanced they haven't gone overboard with the bass
it's powerful bass it's loud bass but it doesn't affect the mids it doesn't distort it doesn't clip
which is of course something you'd never want to have and they didn't ignore the mids vocals
and the high is especially still very good on this so it's a balanced tune but tweaked a little bit
the lows definitely have boosted them up just a tiny little bit and the microphone quality is that
sample i gave you i wouldn't rate as amazing but it's still okay compared to some of the the others
i've heard out there have been terrible when it comes to the inbound microphones the other end can
hear you you can still place calls and that's the main thing with these so they do get a thumbs up
from me here especially for the price is selling mostly because of that sound quality that they
sound fantastic to my ears so thanks a lot for watching my review here of sound pete's mini pro
