Great analysis of the SoundPeats portfolio. Because of your videos comparing the ANC/ENC in real situations against other “higher” products, I choose the Capsule 3 Pro (I really use TWS for conferencing/calls when I out-of-office). Thanks again !!! Looking forward for the QCY HT-05 review (I use this model here in Brazil while my Capsule don’t arrive in my hands) !!!
Really good detailed review again. Yes, sound is my biggest criteria and having an EQ option in the app is huge too. I rarely use them for phone calls so that's not a deal breaker for me but totally understand if it would be for some. A really nice option for sure!
Thank you! If you rarely use them for phone calls then you will love these!
thank you so much MR. David. Your content has been awesome in informing consumers like me who can't afford the high end stuff and I massively appreciate it!
Keep it up! 🎉
Thank you and I wish you good luck in the drawing!
I totally agree, they sound incredible for the price even with low quality audio file 😍
Yeah they sound comparable to a wired iem in the same $40ish price bracket.
I am searching for a budget friendly TWS and I am here now.. watching your review..It's very helpful for me to select my TWS. Thank you.
Glad you find the review helpful. Thank you very much and good luck in the drawing!
Man! I bought them just based on your review. I'm shocked how you can make headphones with such good sound for such money. My current Sony linkbuds S and Soundcore Space A40 are going to a dark corner in a drawer. If someone doesn't need ANC this is the only right choice. I changed the eartips to SpinFit CP360 and they sit in the ear perfectly.
Wow, that’s so great to hear! I’m glad you like them so much and thanks for posting the tip about the ear tips - hope other viewers can benefit from that, too!
Definitely one of the more interesting options at this price! 😃 Thanks for the review!
Excellent review. I just got one. It is really amazing. What a masterpiece! I bought it here in Brazil for less than 30 dollars with taxes. Your channel is astronomical. Congrats! The Moondrop space Travel is also excellent - but the Soundpeats engine 4 is even better.
Thank you so much! Glad you like the earbuds! Viva Brazil!!🇧🇷
These are so well made and they don't take a lot of room ! Count me in for the giveaway ! Cheers
You're in! Good luck!
Good review. I totally agree with your opinion about the Engine 4. They are absolutely awesome sound wise.
Nice review man, as always. Soundpeats came out again with a good sounding set of earbuds.
Much appreciated!
Thank you so so much for your videos!! I love watching and learning. . I did see your Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro and sent you a message. But now I saw this video and now I'm like wow.. which one do I get.. the Capsule 3 pro or these? Do these sound better than the capsule 3? .. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work!!
Hi and thanks so much for the comment! They do sound a little bit clearer and IMHO they may have a bit wider sound stage so if you’re about to decide between the two, I would get the Engine4!
@@thepolishpotato42 awesome, thank you so much! Really appreciate it 🙏.
Nice channel, I already have the soundpeats sonic pro, this would be a nice upgrade!!
Thank you! You are entered into the drawing. Good luck 🍀
I never heard of your channel until today. I usually go to other channels when it comes to earbuds and headphones. But I also like people who do real testing when it comes to earbuds, out in public, wind, noise, or driving like you did. I read all kinds of great reviews when it comes to the Engine4 but Soundpeats should've done a better job with the noise cancellation.
Wonderful review,,
It’s really outstanding tws❤
Thanks ❤️
Thank you!
Good review! I've had the true engine 3 for some time now and am considering to buy new earbuds, and these seem to be a good choice.
Thank you! Good luck in the drawing on July 1!
I feel like i found a gold mine over at yt. Nice content! I'm mildly confused nevertheless, because there's no ANC but I agree your take on this: If you're on a budget, you better focus on the thing you want the most, sound or ANC. If I don't like my incoming Capsule3 I'll definitely consider the Engines, thanks.
Hi and thanks so much for your comment. I would be surprised if you don’t like the Capsule3 but please come back here and tell us what you think of them!
Got the Capsules3 and they're great :) the fit, ANC and Sound are just right. Nothing near my DAC + wired monitors but for wireless convenience and on the goes I'm happy I didn't splurge all my minimum wage into them big names. I'm still mildly curious what the Engine 4 is like. Best regards
Hi
Could you please test the soundpeats mini pro hs model? thnks
You are correct, if you try to imagine how they release it compare to x products around, in a fair price with high quality of products compact with new technology they market in it.
Excellent review. These look like a no brainer. Especially for the price.
Thank you! Agreed!
Good review! Let’s see if I can try these on/ thanks for this giveaway even if I’m not getting it
Thanks so much and good luck! 🍀
Great review, thank you. I'm looking for headphones with better than good sound. Engine4 seem to be like that, but I was very disappointed with the call quality. Can I find headphones in a similar price range that will be better in this aspect? Im also thinking about the Soundcore Anker A20i or P20i.
You're doing a great job, thank you, best regards.
Hi Bartosz, welcome and thanks so much for the comment! If you want the sound comparable with the Engine4 and better phone call quality you can cross the P20i off your list. The A20i is a little closer but my recommendation would be either the SoundPEATS Capsule 3 Pro (really good phone call quality and excellent sound for music) or the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (I know they are not the most recent release but still, very very good in both SQ and phone calls).
Thank you for the quick reply. I will consider your suggestions and look at other reviews.Wszystkego dobrego w Nowym roku i kolejnych znakomitych recenzji👍@@thepolishpotato42
Good review man. I guess it's time for an upgrade.
Thank you! Good luck in the drawing!
Loving your content sir, watching here from the Philippines. But how can you compare it with the Soundpeats H1?
Thank you so much! This is a great question! I will try to do a solid comparison, soon and post a reply here!
Yessss, I'm looking forward to it. Already a subscriber to your channel 😁. Thank you
Respect for your amazing review 👏
Im between this Soundpeats engine 4 or the soundcore liberty 4 nc... which one is better?? And witch one have the better sound?? Thanks for advance
Thank you so much! I would definitely pick the Engine4 if you are comparing the two. They win on the sound quality!!
@thepolishpotato42 do they win with a big difference? Because the liberty 4 nc they are the best all around...
@@Perfumeguy you seem to have already decided haha… here’s my 2c: for sound quality I would not hesitate a second and pick the Engine4. With ANC they’re about the same (although a lot depends on the fit and how you work with your earbuds/select the eartips so please remember that).
Looking for a fresh pair after my Earfun free Pro's literally started falling apart and the earbuds themselves getting cracks on them (?) which is very odd. Only thing I still dwell on is whether to get stem design for less body born noise.
I wish you good luck in the drawing!
Enjoyed the review! Currently considering between this and Edifier TWS1 Pro 2, have you tried that one yet?
Yes, I love many things that Edifier does but in this comparison I have to say SoundPEATS win!
Ok, I am testing the Edifier TWS1 Pro 2 and I think they are EXCELLENT! This is a tough choice... personally I think I would go with the Edifier in this particular comparison. Even richer sounding (especially in the mids) - you can compensate for this a little bit with SoundPEATS and get close. Also, the TWS1 Pro2 have insanely good ergonomics (for my ears, at least) and weigh close to nothing. Overall, Edifier's sound signature is hard not to love - amazingly good at this price!
Thanks for the answer! In the end I got the W240TN, but if someone asks for a recommendation I'll pass your impressions for the Pro 2
@@MudoV17 oh, that’s even better! I love those earbuds!! The sound is phenomenal!
Sir may i ask which is better sounding between the soundpeats engine 4 vs edifier w240n?
That's a tough call to make. The Edifier is VERY good and I love their completely custom EQ but I think I would give a slight edge to the Engine4 because the tuning is really nearly perfect!
Soundpeats is really doing great & you also dear Potato man.
I understand your passion & hard work❤
Best of luck Dear💜
Haha, thanks so much!
Soundpeats were my first wireless headphones from back in the day. I haven't tried LDAC headphones yet, but one day I'd like to try these ones.
Thanks so much for sharing! You are entered into the giveaway. Good luck!
@@thepolishpotato42 thank you! Your content has been awesome in informing consumers like me who can't afford the high end stuff and I massively appreciate it! Keep it up!
The ldac on these arent that different when compared to aac at least. In higher end headphones you would notice a lot more
Hi, i have been used the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro since 2 months ago, i like it for its sound quality, but are too big and his battery life is no good for me. You would recomendme this one talking about sound quality, battery and size?
Hi Nelson, yes I would recommend these for sound quality and battery life. They are a little smaller than the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro and they are MUCH lighter so you should be quite happy with them!
Thanks so much, i'll buy it 👍
Great! Do you think they're a big difference over the mini pro hs?
Yes, a very noticeable difference!
@@thepolishpotato42 ok, let's try! Thank you
Great review. I had the original Truengine and while they sounded great for certain genres, I found them lacking bass as someone that listens to dance music
and the volume was also too low.
Thank you and thanks for sharing!
They sound great and I really like them Especially after surviving a full hour of washing in a washing machine together with the case, I couldn't believe they would play again after one day. I'm in love with the brand.
Wow! Haha! That's a great testimonial! Maybe SoundPEATS should add this to their IPX rating ;)
Is it better than Jabra elite 3?
I actually use these and the free2 classic as hearing protection at work lol. It doesn’t need anc, but I’d like passive mode. I wish the opera05 wasn’t engineered by an alien, they fit just not as good as these.
I agree. I was one of the first backers of Opera5 on Kickstarter and had such high hopes for them but… Engine4 is just BETTER!
Are they better than the Technics AZ70, Beoplay EQ, or Senheisser TWM 3?
Hmm... I wouldn't put them up as far as going against Technics or Beoplay. Those are a whole higher level of sophistication earbuds we're talking about... The Senheiser... well, I just personally don't love their sound processing so it's going to be tough for me to say the Engine4 couldn't compete here. I feel like maybe they could.
Thanks for your honesty. As someone who has way too many earbuds, I can't help but keep looking for the perfect pair, and when reviewers use such strong hyperbole, I can't help but be curious.
Dear .. Engine 4 or capsule 3 pro i have to buy my prefrence calls and sound quality
Tough choice, both are very good. Engine4 beats Capsule 3 Pro in music quality but not by much and Capsule 3 Pro is slightly better for phone calls so I guess it comes down to ergonomics for you? Do you know if stem buds fit better into your ears? If so go with Capsule 3 Pro. If it doesn’t make much of a difference I’d probably pick Engine4.
I want to try these, I’ll be comparing them to my Edifier W240TN exclusively
You are entered into the drawing! Winner will be announced on July 1st!
Please do review the new soundpeats mini hs
Do you recommend these over the Capsule 3 pro?
Depends. If only sound quality for music is what’s important to you then yes. If you also want great ANC and phone calls quality I would go with the Capsule 3 Pro.
Thank you so much.
The mic and lack of ANC/transparency mode seem to be the only weak points of these buds. I def don't need another pair of earbuds but am still fighting the urge to buy these. I really don't understand why these (and all decent earbuds for that matter) wouldn't include transparency mode since all earbuds have microphones.
They are around 38 dollars in my country
I think i should buy them for the music
I'm a real person and really want them. 😁I never win giveaways though so I'm sure I won't win this one either but thanks for the review!
Hello, my dear friend! nice video! Keep up the good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Cool review
Thanks so much!
👏👏
Which is better between opera 05 and engine 4 ?
Opera5 is very good but it has a little questionable tuning in the treble so personally I would go with Engine4. Sounds a little fuller and better balanced to my ears.
nice review
Thank you!
This is the perfect upgrade from Edifier TWS1 Pro.
I have the capsule 3 pro had prior to them true engine 3 se there is a slight difference between them. the 3 se is better in separation and treble and mids but the capsule has better volume and base also better fit and comfort plus the anc and transparency modes are amazing always thought of those as gimmicks untill i tried them and oh boy they make a difference overall I am satisfied with the capsule 3 but after seeing you're review about the engine 4 I'm intrigued as they seem to be on par with the opera's and better than the h1 which is already better than the 3 so there's that but man it's hard to choose with soundpeats these days
It's hard to choose, that's correct! They make a lot of good products. IMHO these are better than the Opera. I listened very carefully and after a while Opera just gets tiring with the extreme treble tuning. These are so smooth and carry you through a day with beautiful tunes that just leave you wanting more! Thanks so much. foryour comments and stopping by here!
Tell me about the mic quality bro..
I'm in dilemma whether to buy capsule 3 pro or engine 4. I will let this giveaway decide for me on which to buy, I mean if I don't win I will just get the capsule 3 pro. I've been hearing great reviews on the sound quality on the engine 4. Let luck decide! 😅
Sounds good! Good luck in the drawing!
these buds are so slippery the left bud slipped out of my hand when I was holding it while getting out of the car. Now it has a dent I couldn't stand lol. I just had these for 5 days. Anyway I had the Truengine 3 SE and H1 before these. I can attest that these are better and very worth it!
Sorry to hear that! I do agree they can be tricky to handle. It's most difficult for me when my hands are dry! Glad you like the sound and thanks for the comment!
Give it mo me pleaaase! Hehe
Currently listening on this video on my soundpeats Free2 Classic
Haha, who knows! Good luck in the drawing!
It's interesting how a decent mic is hard to achieve.
Did you find a way to do the giveaway? 😬
Still working on it but I will announce soon!
@@thepolishpotato42 Cool, let me know how to participate in the giveaway please.
Thanks.
@@asmewilliams7117 I will post the announcement video by tomorrow, at the latest.
@@thepolishpotato42 Cool.
Far from perfect sound, it is a relaxing tuning which is hard to find in itself. Treble missing the end extension and bass is bloated. This tuning turns out to be extremely relaxing enough to sleep with. Use ldac adaptive and drops will be gone. Engine 4 driver is better then the peats 4 pro but not as good as earfunfree pro 3. It is a balanced tuning, not great at any genre but good in all genres. No way this is end game, you need a wired iem something like a monarch mk2 with at least a midlevel dap. Also you need spinfits to get the most out of any iem. Fit and finish and fantastic. Little bit hard to get out if the case..Overall for price no really big complaints. It is a solid wireless iem.
Pls compare it to the SP capsule 3 pro.
I'll do my best!
Hey! You won earbuds in my giveaway! Please send me an email to david@wags.life so I can send them your way!
Wonderful. A po naszemu :-) ? Dla tych, co mnie smigaja po angielsku? Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Hi boss, try to make your video a little easier to comprehend keep each of your videos at least 10-12min longs. 😇
it's time for me to get these earbuds🍀😂🎉
You are entered into the drawing! 🤞🏻
@@thepolishpotato42 🍀🙏🎉
No in near detection and the touch controls are garbage. For day-to-day use, I think these are very important things to bring up.
That is a great review, that sound quality would be perfect for me, enter me as well, thanks
You are entered, good luck!
Gosh I just ordered the capsule 3 pro🤔🤦♂😔.
Edit: Thank God I chose the capsule 3 pro after hearing the microphone test. This is a horrible earbuds 🤷♂🤷♂😮😮
I do not know why I can't find my comment from earlier.
Doesn’t seem like it ever went through but now you’re here and in the drawing to win the Engine4!
@@thepolishpotato42 I shared the bad guy good audio channel for an example how he does the give away. Just for inspiration. It did not went through ever since the day you posted the first video about the engine 4.
Mic quality is a shame
I’m hoping it’s the algorithm and maybe it can be fixed with a firmware upgrade?
With all due respect, I just threw them in the trash. They sound good, but I would not make a video about them. The tips irritate the ear canal, they are not loud, there is no sensor to stop music once placed in the box, there is no ANC, etc. Horrible product. 👎
Not wverything works for everyone, I understand. To me, sound is most important- I say this in every video on this channel. Tips irritating the ear canal will aslo - as much as it must be frustrating to you - be a very subjective experience. Sorry they didn’t work for you.
Greetings, Polish Potato (great nickname, by the way!), from your native land of Poland! 🫡 Hats off for your detailed review - hands down the best and most extensive one on the Sound Peats Engine 4's that I've seen on TH-cam, and I've seen a good number, since I'm a bit of an audiophile on a budget, this pair has definitely piqued my interest. It's a shame that the call quality is as terrible in windy conditions as you have clearly (and cleverly) demonstrated in your video, but I don't really expect to be using them while driving with the car window down or in extreme weather, and audio quality for listening to hi-res 24-bit FLAC files with LDAC on is far more important to me.
Something to note for those who may be wondering, is that the Engine 4's have an IPX4 rating, so they should be fine for sweating at the gym, but not necessarily for strolling out and about without an umbrella in heavy rain.
As for the battery life, it's worth mentioning that the promised 12.5 hrs on a single charge is for lossy Bluetooth codecs such as SBC and AAC, whilst the hi-res LDAC codec will apparently last for the 7 hours you mention in your review, but that's still plenty more than most of the competitors, and indeed other LDAC-capable SoundPeat in-ear headphones, and should be sufficient for most music maniacs out there.
Last but not least, the one missing feature aside from ANC is reportedly fast charge, so if my understanding is correct, unfortunately you won't be able to charge them for, say, 15 minutes to get an extra hour out of them when the battery is starting to die at the end of the day, but have to charge them for the full 2 hours to get them properly up and running again.
In any case, kind thanks for your comprehensive review, which impressed me so much that I've decided to subscribe to your channel. I'll be keeping those fingers firmly crossed for winning your giveaway. 🤞
All the best from Lublin, Poland! 😃 🇵🇱
