Build quality
The build quality is standard or slightly better considering the price.
Fit
The fit is good. They fit well even on small ears.
Connection quality
I tested it by connecting it to a Cayin N6II/E02 with AAC.
I don't know, I haven't been in crowded places, but it is stable in my home. Distance tolerance is excellent, and the connection is seamless and intact even at a distance of about 5 meters. Across a barrier, it will be interrupted for a moment, and then it will be somewhat intermittent, though not to the point where you cannot hear the music.
There may be a small amount of white noise, but most people probably won't notice it.

REW Frequency Response
Sound quality description
The following review was tested on a FiiO M15 with an aptX connection.
The overall original sound fidelity of the SoundPEATS Air3 Pro is not bad. However, the overall sound lacks linearity, and although the midrange has high resolution, it suffers the most from sounding muddy. If you feel a kind of unique airiness in this midrange, you will like it, but audiophiles will say it is unnatural to hear it up front with low transparency. It is a sound that makes it difficult to grasp a sense of distance. The low frequency range is tuned to emphasize depth, which was well-received in T2, but it is shallower than T2 even with ANC on.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Sound quality general comment
- Original sound fidelity: A
- Recommendation: C+
- Personal preference: D+
To be frank, it is difficult to understand the intention of tuning the SoundPEATS Air 3 Pro. It has a difficult and habitual sound as if KZ tuned it. This is probably the result of the tuning process where the person in charge of the product added his or her own preferences based on easily understandable targets such as the Harman target, Etymotic target, or Sonarworks target, but I don't know the circumstances.
I don't know why SoundPEATS decided to make these earphones, which are more difficult to tune than the previous ones, and the quality of the low frequency range, which used to be their strong point, has deteriorated, after they made a series of rather good and convincing tuning in their recent products.
Sound quality features
Pros
- Mild listening comfort
- Adequate focus on the midrange
- High resolution
- High fullness
Cons
- Habitual sound
- Difficult to localize
- Lack of consistency in sound image
- Lack of thickness in the low frequencies
- Lack of high frequency extension
- Muddy midrange lacking clarity
General comment
SoundPEATS Air3 Pro doesn't have the deep, heavy, lively bass that traditional SoundPEATS fans love, nor does it have the streamlined, audiophile tuning that SoundPEATS has been known for lately. I'd like to believe that this is not a change of direction, as it seems to be an attempt to keep the overall balance while adding its own unique touches, but compared to the attractive SoundPEATS T2, the difference is too big.
