After spending weeks with the Soundpeats T3 Pro, I can honestly say these earbuds punch well above their price. They pack active noise cancellation, strong bass, and useful app controls into a small package that costs roughly $30.
For anyone on a tight budget who still wants real features, these could be the best value buy right now.

Pairing and App
Pairing is very easy. Just open the lid, and the earbuds show up in Bluetooth settings. They work fine without the app, but you would miss many features.
The Soundpeats app is available on both Android and iOS.
Inside the app, you can:
- switch between ANC, Normal, and Transparency
- adjust EQ or use presets
- customize touch controls
- enable game mode or movie mode
- update firmware
It’s simple and useful — not common in this price range.
Design and Comfort
The earbuds use a familiar AirPods-style design. Lightweight, stem build, and a smooth fit. They slide into the ear and stay secure while walking or working out.
The case deserves a mention. It has a textured, leather-like surface that makes it feel more premium and keeps away fingerprints and scratches. It’s compact and easy to pocket.
Comfort is good too. I used them for long music sessions and didn’t feel pressure in the ears. People with small ears should also be comfortable with these.
Controls and Features
Touch controls work well:
- Tap for play/pause
- Double tap for skip
- Hold to switch ANC modes
- Customize anything in the app
The dual microphone setup helps with calls, and the IPX4 rating means sweat or light rain isn’t a problem. Game mode lowers latency enough to enjoy gaming without feeling the delay.
Everything here is simple but effective.
Sound Quality
This is the most surprising part. The Soundpeats T3 Pro sound very good for the price.
Bass has a nice punch. It doesn’t overpower vocals, and the sub-bass rumble is there when needed.
Vocals are clean, and highs stay comfortable — even at high volume.
They get loud, so you can keep volume around 50–70% most of the time.
The EQ presets in the app help shape the sound if you like more bass or more clarity. Music across different genres feels enjoyable, not cheap.
ANC and Transparency
The active noise cancellation works well with low-frequency noise — fans, air conditioners, road noise. In a cafe, voices still come through a bit, but adding music makes it much better.
Transparency mode is also useful. Voices and surroundings come through clearly enough to have a conversation without removing the earbuds.
Wind noise can affect both modes, but that’s expected at this price.
Call Quality
Calls are better than expected. Indoors, voices sound clear. Outdoors, the mics reduce background noise nicely, though strong wind can still interfere. For budget earbuds, they perform really well as a call headset.
Battery Life and Charging
Battery life is good:
- Up to 7 hours without ANC
- Around 5 hours with ANC enabled
- Case provides 21 extra hours
Charging is USB-C only — no wireless charging here. But a short 10-minute top-up can get you enough to continue listening for a while.
Not the best battery in the world, but more than enough for daily use.
Final Thoughts
I found the Soundpeats T3 Pro to be one of the most convincing budget earbuds I’ve tested recently. They sound great, the ANC works for everyday noise, calls are solid, and the app adds real utility.
This is an easy recommendation for the price if you want features that usually cost a lot more.
