Tech Review – Soundpeats Engine 4 earbuds

The Soundpeats Engine 4 earbuds are one of the latest on offer form the brand and come with a new look and design which is really nice, these style of earbuds are not the top of my list however I prefer stems but it is how they sound is what can make you overlook at times and these stood out with my locals asking about them when out testing over the last few weeks..

 

The App

The App as seen above has plenty of features yet again and gives you control on how your earbuds sound however the controls are fixed which is fine and simple to use, the earbuds can be used on their own too so either side can be used whilst the other one is left to charge which is quite handy. I would also advise to complete the adaptive EQ test for the best results and ensure you have got the right tips and are happy with the fit. The controls work really well on these too which is an additional bonus due to the large surface area at hand so for those with big fingers like me it is a bonus. One small downside is the controls are fixed however they are fine as is and pretty much as standard settings on earbuds today. These sound a bit on the brighter side than what I like however with their app they can be changed to suit your needs and their app once again is decent and allows you to take some control over the audio experience.

Overall a different shape of earbud to my liking but sounds good, the fit or style might not suit everyone but they deliver again on the sound aspect with decent battery life and the look of the earbuds and case stands out and will be ideal for first time buyers of earbuds from the company or just looking for something new to try out as this brand has been very consistent over the years for us they offer a wide range of earbuds for all pockets and all styles.

Key Features of the SOUNDPEATS Engine4 Wireless Earbuds include:
1. Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certificated, LDAC Codec for Android Users Available. Boasting 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 with a 10mm woofer and a 6mm tweeter. Engine4 is designed to provide deep bass, clear treble, and crisp mids. Enjoy powerful sound on the go wherever you are. With Engine4, you can take your music experience to the next level.

2. Enhanced Battery Life: These earbuds provide an impressive battery life of up to 12.5 hours on a single charge, and the compact charging case extends the total playtime to an astonishing 43 hours, ensuring uninterrupted audio enjoyment.

3. Seamless Connectivity: Engine4 features Bluetooth 5.3 technology, offering a stable and seamless connection between two different devices for an extended range of up to 100 feet, allowing users to move freely without any audio interruptions. ( Due to the Simultaneously Connection being turned off in the factory setting, you’re allowed to turn it on by using APP as your demand. )

4. Intuitive Touch Controls: The touch-sensitive controls on the earbuds enable easy management of music playback, volume adjustment, and call handling, providing a hassle-free user experience.

5. Ergonomic Design: The Engine4 earbuds are ergonomically designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring a snug seal for improved noise isolation and long-lasting comfort, even during extended listening sessions.

6. APP Control: SOUNDPEATS App is build-in 8 kinds of sound effects for choice, you can achieve their enhanced bass or treble-oriented listening experience as you want. For Engine4, you can choose to Turn Off/ On the LDAC Codec mode or the Simultaneously Connection by using APP. Attention, these two features cannot be supported at the same time due to technical issues. The SOUNDPEATS app is on Google Play Store and Apple App Store

Tech Review – Edifier WH820NB Plus headphones

The Edifier WH820NB plus are an affordable pair of headphones with a bit of punch thrown in when it comes to the audio experience, over the years we have being checking out the tech from the company they have been consistent when it comes to audio at all price points and in short there is no cheap take on it when it comes down to how your music is delivered to you via their products

The headset itself this time around comes in several colours which is a good start and might look and feel a bit cheap but still it is robust and it is a headset that can be worn for hours on end with no clamping effect and sweaty cups, I have tested these on my travels to Milan recently and with the humidity over there they did not cause any issues for me and the fact they are so light makes them super comfortable over hours of listening to music or even gaming if you wish as these have a gaming mode included.

The buttons on the headphones are on the small side but work well and all is kept to one side which makes navigation simple and after a few minutes use you will have no issues using them and they are tactile and work really well dishing out the commands you want with no mistakes so in that department all is good. On the buttons you can control your listening mode volume levels track selection and so on.

With the audio aspect again the company has delivered here with an excellent pair of cans with 40mm drivers and a great audio experince in gaming music and more so for those who want to take a punt you will not be sorry, during my usual test run they surpassed all expectations with nice volume decent ANC was noted, no distortion on maxed out volume and overall the highs lows and mids and no matter what genre was listened to they done a superior job and I would not expect anything less from the company anyway at this stage. Calls also done really well for me on my testing and from the few calls I tool people could here me clearly and same on my end and you have built in DNN which aides the quality.

Battery life is also excellent here on the headphones and at the higher end of the tier for longevity

The app as seen below is again available for the headphones and works really well and is simple to use you can also avail of their widget too if you wish, check out the video review for more where we take a look at the app and discuss the features and more and you get to see what value you get for your money here.

Tech Review – Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 Earbuds

The last pair of earbuds reviewed from Soundcore was the Liberty 3 pro which was one of my top earbuds at the time for that year and still remain high on the list still today and a pair of earbuds which can be now got fairly cheap which is something you could do if on a budget and when the Liberty 4 arrived I was really interested to see how these would sound coming off the back of the Liberty 3 pro even though the shape and style is different with no wings either. These earbuds however come packed with technology for those into fitness and of course sound which is important but there is much more tech in this pair and are an ideal for those who want to log fitness data which being honest is not me but the tech is there and there is many who will certainly take the company up on thes featured more aligned with smartwatches.

These are stem styled earbuds and look clean and fit well and before you get moving you need to download their app and do the HearID ANC test to get them set up properly for the best quality and they certainly deliver on the ANC aspect. They are comfortable to wear for long spells and will not fall out and once the right tips fitted you are good to go. The ANC is not up with the Liberty pro 3 but still good overall. Rather than having a touch sensitive are here or button these earbuds operate by squeezing them and there is different squeeze forces you could apply but this is down to the individual user to set up.

The fitness aspects of the app are great and they use your mobile phone to set some things up like the calibration for example which you will see in the video review below. As mentioned above these are more targeted at people into fitness however the audio is for everyone but with the fitness element thrown in they offer super value for money.

The app is packed with features and settings and you should explore them all to get the maximum effect out of them, for me all instances not used plus I have so many earbuds into test but I go over what is on these which you will not find on other earbuds, these earbuds would need be in your ears quite a lot to use the full suite of features and get the results you want..

When it comes to sound there is lots on offer and they sound great for the money and overall give other more expensive offerings a run for their money but again not up their with the Liberty Pro 3 however still excellent overall..The sound is in short great loud and punchy with no lag latency no distortion when maxed out and overall just spot on and with the app these deliver excellent value for the money and put it up to the rest that are more expensive, so if you are a fan of the brand and need new earbuds and on a certain budget put these on your list to check out.
