SOUNDPEATS Air5 Pro wireless earbuds bring premium features to a budget price

SOUNDPEATS is back with a new pair of wireless earbuds, and this time, it’s going straight for the sweet spot of price and performance. The Air5 Pro is the latest in the company’s “Air” series, and it might just be one of its best offerings yet.

At just $79.99, these earbuds pack in some surprisingly high-end features. SOUNDPEATS is using Qualcomm’s QCC3091 chip here, along with Snapdragon Sound and support for LDAC and aptX Lossless. That means hi-res audio and low-latency wireless listening, assuming your device supports it. There’s also a 10mm composite driver inside each earbud, which SOUNDPEATS claims delivers full-bodied sound with deep bass and clean highs.

But audio specs are only part of the story. The Air5 Pro also has what SOUNDPEATS calls its smartest ANC yet. It promises to cut out up to 55dB of ambient noise, using AI to adapt in real time based on your environment and ear fit. That sounds impressive on paper, but real-world performance will be what actually matters.

Call quality gets a boost too, with six mics and AI-based noise reduction. Whether that means you’ll actually be heard clearly on a busy street or windy day remains to be seen, but it’s a nice touch for earbuds at this price.

Battery life is solid. You get up to 7.5 hours of playback on a single charge, and the case adds another 37 hours. A quick 10-minute top-up gives you 2 more hours. The earbuds weigh just 4.8g each and are currently available in black, with white, purple, and beige options coming soon.

The PeatsAudio app lets you customize the EQ, update firmware, and even track down a lost earbud. Again, useful if you actually take the time to install and use the app.

You can buy the SOUNDPEATS Air5 Pro on Amazon here now for $79.99, and there’s a limited-time 25 percent off clickable coupon too. If you’ve been holding out for a decent pair of budget earbuds, this might be the time to pull the trigger.
