Fit
The fit is good.
Connection quality
I tested it by connecting it to a Cayin N6II/E02 with LDAC.
I don't know because I haven't been in crowds, but it is stable in the home. Distance tolerance is excellent, and the connection is seamless and intact even at a distance of about 5 meters. Communication was uninterrupted and music could be heard consistently, even across obstructions.
There may be a small amount of background noise, but most people probably won't notice it.

Sound quality description
The following review was tested on a FiiO M15 with an SBC connection.
SoundPEATS Air 3 Deluxe HS has a sound signature of a full midrange.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
Many inner-ear models are not expected to have low frequencies, and the Air 3 Deluxe HS is no exception. Even when worn with the earpiece pushed deep into the ear, it will be difficult to hear the deepest part of the bass.
In the low frequency range, you'll hear the best around the punch and boom a bit higher up. As a result, the drum kicks are full of power, thick, tough, and weighty, but they are quite expansive and sound more like bongs than thumps. The sound is impactful, thick, and immersive, but not very tight.
The electric bass is a bit brighter, with a shallow impression and lacks tightness.
In general, if you are looking for low-frequency quality, you should use a canal type, but if you stick to the inner-ear type, we recommend the QCY T20, for example.
Mids
The midrange is concave near the center and sounds a bit muddy, slightly affected by the low frequencies.
A moderate sense of depth is felt and emphasis is given to the three-dimensionality, but this causes a lack of linearity, and the midrange transparency sounds low. The sound is rounded, harmonic, and mildly pleasing to the ear, but it tends to be hazy overall.
The sense of definition is quite high, so there is no sense of buried detail, but the overall sense of separation is poor and the sense of structure is quite lacking.
Also, the highs are closed, so the midrange sounds quite dense. The fullness is high, and the volume and resonance are rich and enveloping, but it is hardly suitable for audiophiles.
Highs / Treble
High frequencies are somewhat tame. Extension is not very good.
The high frequencies are basically safe, as the toothiness and pealiness are quite restrained. Despite the overall sound balance, which is easily blurred due to a high degree of fineness, details are not buried.
In that sense, the highs are relatively well adjusted within the overall sound, but the sense of lack of mid and high frequencies has a significant impact on the lack of musical structure, making the sound a bit separated from likes and dislikes.
Sound quality general comment
- Original sound fidelity: A
- Recommendation: A
- Personal preference: B
SoundPEATS Air 3 Deluxe HS basically inherits the well-balanced sound of the previous generation Air 3, but with a slightly revised sound balance and improved original sound fidelity.
As an inner-ear type, this model is as well-balanced as previous models.

The SoundPEATS Air 3 Deluxe HS is the final evolution of the brand's Air series in its current state.

The communication quality is stable, and the rich functionality of the application has achieved a high level of perfection for an inner-ear model.
