The Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro are the latest pair of true wireless earbuds with ANC from the fledgling brand and they have just about every feature you could possibly want.
At the heart of these earbuds is a system-on-a-chip from Wu Qi Technologies that can support LDAC, AAC and SBC audio codecs. You don’t get support for Qualcomm’s aptX family of codecs, a trend I’ve noticed lately. Some earbud and headphone makers are beginning to opt for the high-quality LDAC codec, presumably for licensing reasons. LDAC can handle transmission rates up to 990kbs and digital replay up to 24-bit/96khz.
The Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro has Hybrid Active Noise Cancelation. The ANC function works well with low and continuous sounds, like aircon or the drone of an aircraft engine, but it’s not so good with a higher pitch and occasional and sudden sounds. That’s true of nearly all ANC headphones and earbuds, but I still don’t think the Capsule3 Pro are up there with my favorite pair of ANC earbuds, the Technics AZ-60s, one of the best-performing for the money....
To get the best from the Capsule3 Pro it’s worth installing the Soundpeats app on your Android or iOS device. The app can be used to upgrade firmware and offers a 10-band equalizer to tweak the tone of the earbuds to suit the listener’s preferences. In addition to the graphic equalizer, there are nine EQ presets to suit various genres of music. The app can also toggle between ANC, Transparency Mode and Off Mode and invoke the Gaming Mode.
Each earbud has touch controls for doing all the usual stuff like pausing music, skipping and repeating tracks, accepting or rejecting phone calls, and many other functions. I’m not a huge fan of touch controls because they are far too easy to trigger accidentally. However, the controls here aren’t too sensitive, and I didn’t notice them being accidentally set off too many times....
Finally, the battery life of the Capsule3 Pro is pretty average at around four to five hours when using ANC and the LDAC codec. Switch those two off and you could get more than seven hours before the earbuds need to go back into their charging case for a top-up. With the earbuds and the case, 52 hours of charge are available, more than enough for a month of commuting. Considering the size of the charging case, that’s quite an achievement.
