The SoundPEATS POP Clip has just launched and we had some time to test them beforehand and again with this new clip on ear design I mentioned before we will see more off and this time from SoundPEATS.
The build quality is excellent and robust here as most of these type of earbuds offer a stable hold in the ears some have said on reviewing other similar clip-on earbuds they would fall out but this is not the cas once secured they stay put.
These have an extra benefit over others for some having a button control each side rather than a touch sensitive area giving you more accurate control and less false inputs which is great although thumb memory is key with any new earbuds but buttons do help for some who are not so much into gesture/touch based ones.
Sound is excellent here with the 10.8mm dual magnet drivers and with the app you get plenty more this time around in the new Peats Audio app which now comes with tracking and gives an audible alert, you can select the controls here to suit your needs and change up the audio with the EQ settings on board we go through this in the video review below and show you what is on offer.
There is an audio test which you should complete to get the best experience it does not take long to do and I always advise this with new earbuds. You also get the choice to have your own custom EQ too which is great but do check out all the other offerings in the app.
There was no lag latency noted or tinny sound when turned up the max which is how it should be and given these do not sit right in your ear canal they still deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience but you also get to hear your surroundings which is good for those who cycle or walk, calls also quite clear to an no issues either end on my testing.
Having tested other products from the brand before the Movie mode is my favourite EQ here so do check this out, another additional feature here with the these left and right sides have automatic adaption so it means it does not matter which side is which when removing or replacing them from the case.

The Pamu Fit New Edition are a welcome upgrade to the previous version we did last year offering better sound than before with a stand out design moving away from the typical style of earbuds we see.
At first look you might think these may not fit, they are on the larger size but these fit better than one would expect and they are very secure and can be worn in the gym or for jogging etc.
There is no app here however out of the box they sound great being honest and a perfect tone of deep bass with it so for bass lovers these should be on your radar.
The touch controls work really well with a large area to work with so getting the commands works perfectly every time and saves you activating the wrong function this I like and how all earbuds should be.
You can skip and reverse play and pause tracks change the volume and have access to your voice assistant and of course call management.
Also on board is ANC modes and game control giving you a complete set of features and all you need for your earbuds on the go.
With their 13mm drivers they pack a punch and the ANC is decent too up to 20bd highs lows and mids all fine no tinny sound or lag latency noted and after going through my test run of music etc I am happy with how these sound and the price point here and can recommend them easily.
You also have good battery life here and 6 hours on one charge and up to 18 in total so overall a really good product here for the money.
Features
Upgraded to Bluetooth 5.4
Advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, up to 20dB noise reduction
The TOZO NC9 ANC Earbuds are one of their latest on the market and now come with some new AI features since AI is the buzzword but it actually works quite well be it via text or speaking whilst having them in your ears.
The build quality it great and kept simple as always with TOZO and the fit nicely in the ears and with the right tips they will not fall out or budge.
These earbuds require taps to get the commands out and work really well and the earbud controls can be changed to suit your requirements.
There is no wireless charging here or auto play and pause so if these are things you require you may check out others from the brand but this is no huge deal with the audio quality you get here which is the most important factor for most.
The controls work really here and TOZO have been consistent here too we go through this in the video review below.
With the audio in mind yet again it is excellent and up there with more expensive brands out there at a fraction of the cost and there is a huge suite of EQ modes built in plus a community there to pick from and get suggestions, you have several noise cancelling modes here to which is also great including wind reduction mode and leisure mode all these can be changed by a tap too.
The sound is excellent and you will not be disappointed either feeling central and immersive when you turn the volume up and with the level of EQ settings you are in control, highs lows and mids are great excellent bass and no distortion or lag latency noted in my usual test run I was impressed yet again considering the cost factor here.
There is a latency mode built in for the gamers and works well when it comes to the audio so for the gamers you are covered here too.
You now also have AI built into the App whereby you can either type or ask a question which is handy this worked on most occasions and can only see it improve over time.
TOZO APP now with AI
Active Noise Cancellation】Hybrid 3-layer Active Noise Cancellation. 1. Outward-facing microphone detects external sounds and counter with equal anti-noise to first cancel noise. 2. Inward-facing microphone listens inside the ear canal to pick up internal sounds and produce anti-noise again to cancel the left noise. 3. Ear caps prevent 90% of noise going to the ear canal.
【Transparent Mode】You can hear what you want to hear, which lets outside sound in so you can hear and interact with the world around you. You can clearly hear the announcement of the airline or subway and what is happening around you without taking off the headphones.
【Built-in Dual Noise Cancelling Microphone】Double microphone noise reduction system suppresses environmental noise. A dedicated internal and two external microphones pick up your voice and isolate it from outside noise.
【One-step Pairing】Pick up the two headsets from the charging case, and they will be paired automatically. Then simply enable Bluetooth connection on your mobile phone to pair the device with your earbuds.
【Charge on the Go】TOZO NC9 wireless earbuds can last for over 13 hours of playtime from a single charge and 27 extra hours in the compact charging case. The Active Noise Cancellation mode can last for over 7 hours of playtime. Providing a convenient charging way with no strings attached.
