This time, we will review the new model “SOUNDPEATS Capsule3 Pro” from SOUNDPEATS, which has released many high-cost earphones.
Although it is less than 10,000 yen, you can enjoy high-resolution playback with LDAC support (high-definition wireless certification has been obtained), and it also supports noise cancellation and external sound capture with 6 microphones.
Sound quality and call quality are good, and it’s a very well-rounded unit for this price range.
The price is usually ¥8,480 including tax on the Amazon page ↓, but right now you can apply a ¥1,500 OFF coupon and apply the 5% OFF coupon code “CPS3PBLG30” to buy for 6,556 yen including tax. (Until 2023/1/31)
At this price, it will be a good buy.
We’ll see!
Appearance and specifications
In addition to the earphones and charging case, the included items are a USB Type-C to A cable for charging, a manual, and replacement earphones (S/M/L).
The manual is available in Japanese. How to use it is written in detail.
The driver is a 12mm dynamic driver with a playback band of 20Hz-40kHz. The playback time is 8 hours with the earphones only and 52 hours with the case. Noise cancellation is 43dB active noise cancellation, and it also has a low latency (game) mode with a delay of 70ms.
It’s IPX4 waterproof, and single-ear playback is also possible. Not compatible with wireless charging.
The charging case is made of plastic and has an indicator on the entire surface. ↓
The hinge on the back is decorated with a gold logo plate, which is the image color of this unit.
The bottom has a USB-C port for charging and a reset button. There is also a gold rim around the USB-C port.
When you open the case, it looks like below. The main body of the earphone is also decorated with gold parts, giving a sense of luxury to the overall design.
The weight is as light as 4.7g for just one earphone. AirPods Pro 2 is 5.3g, so it’s lighter than that.
49g including each case and earphones. It’s also lighter than the AirPods Pro, which weighs over 50g.
Next, let’s look at earphones.
The side with the touch sensor has a gold plate as shown below.
The gold part visible at the top ↓ is a microphone, and in addition to this, there are a total of 3 microphones in the middle and bottom, and a total of 6 microphones in both ears.
Real usability and sound quality
First of all, in terms of the feeling of wearing on the ear, you can wear it firmly by attaching an appropriate size earphone. It won’t come off even when you shake your head or exercise vigorously. It’s light, so you don’t feel too heavy.
In terms of sound quality, the bass is powerful, and of course there is no sound distortion or cheapness, and the sound is detailed.
Also, by installing a dedicated app, equalization is possible as shown below. You can also choose from preset ones.
You can perform a wide range of operations by touch, such as noise canceling, capturing external audio, play/pause, volume up/down, etc., but it can be a little confusing at first because there are so many functions. However, you will get used to it if you use it for half a day.
Noise canceling performance isn’t the kind that brings silence like Sony’s WF-1000XM4, but the kind that reduces noise. For example, the operating sound of an air conditioner is often quiet, but many sounds are still audible. An image that reduces the volume of the sound you hear as a whole. It makes wind noise.
Although there is some white noise in a quiet environment, it has noise canceling that is easy to use in everyday life with natural noise reduction.
It is solid that there is little sense of incompatibility around the use of external sound.
big punishment
Again, as an earphone under 10,000 yen, I can only say that the craftsmanship is excellent.
Although it does not meet the performance requirements of high-end devices, such as those who want complete silence with noise cancellation, most users will not be dissatisfied with the sound quality, ease of use and connectivity.
If you are looking for high quality headphones at an affordable price, then definitely check them out.
