SoundPEATS Air4 adopts an ergonomic ear-fitting curve with a 45° included angle, making them stable and comfortable to wear. It uses Qualcomm 3071 Bluetooth 5.3 chip and supports Snapdragon Sound technology and Qualcomm aptX Lossless. It is also compatible with aptX AdaptiveHD, APTX Low Latency and aptX HD audio decoding.
SoundPEATS Air4 supports adaptive ANC function, which can intelligently identify ear structure, wearing status, and surrounding environmental noise, and adjust noise cancellation parameters in real time. Supports 6-MIC CVC call noise cancellation – based on the built-in microphone array and noise cancellation algorithm to provide clear calls. Supports low-latency game mode, with full-link latency as low as 88ms. The single battery life is up to 6.5 hours, and the total battery life is about 26 hours.
We have previously teardown the SoundPEATS products including: SoundPEATS Capsule3 Pro, SoundPEATS Mini Pro HS, SoundPEATS Air3 Deluxe HS, and SoundPEATS TrueAir2. Let’s take a look at the detailed teardown report of SoundPEATS Air 4.
