Model: SoundPEATS Air Clip (Black)
Audio Technology:
12mm Dual-Magnetic Drivers with PU+LCP Diaphragm: The Air Clip features 12mm dual-magnetic drivers with a composite diaphragm made of polyurethane (PU) and liquid crystal polymer (LCP). This design enhances magnetic strength, delivering clear highs, smooth mids, and deep bass with minimal distortion for a balanced, transparent audio experience.
Dynamic EQ Algorithm: The headset includes a dynamic equalizer algorithm, adjustable via the SoundPEATS app. It optimizes sound output, particularly boosting bass, for an immersive, cinematic audio experience. Users can toggle this feature in the app to customize sound profiles, though it may increase power consumption when enabled.
Bluetooth Connectivity:
Bluetooth 5.4: The Air Clip uses Bluetooth 5.4 for stable, efficient connections with improved signal processing and interference suppression. This ensures reliable audio in complex wireless environments, like crowded urban areas, while reducing power consumption to extend battery life.
Low Latency Game Mode: A game mode offers ultra-low latency of approximately 0.08 seconds (80ms), synchronizing audio and visuals for lag-free gaming or video streaming, ideal for dynamic activities.
Adaptive Left/Right Channel Function:
The Air Clip features an auto-adaptive left/right channel system. After being placed in the charging case for at least 10 seconds, the earbuds automatically adjust audio channels, eliminating the need to distinguish between left and right earbuds. This allows interchangeable wearing for ease of use and storage.
Call Quality and Noise Reduction:
Dual Microphones with AI Noise Cancellation: Each earbud has two microphones paired with an AI-powered noise cancellation algorithm, reducing background noise by up to 90% for clear calls in noisy environments.
Windproof Design: A directional sound port and wind-resistant design minimize wind noise during outdoor activities like running or cycling, enhancing call clarity and audio quality in windy conditions.
Water Resistance:
IPX5 Waterproof Rating: The Air Clip is rated IPX5, resistant to sweat and light rain, making it suitable for sports, workouts, or outdoor use. It is not designed for submersion or heavy water exposure, such as showering. Users should dry the earbuds and clean the charging port after water exposure to prevent damage.
Battery Life and Charging:
Total Battery Life: 8 + 28 Hours: The earbuds provide up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, with the charging case extending total playtime to 36 hours. Battery life may vary based on volume, audio content, or use of high-resolution codecs.
Fast Charging: A 10-minute charge provides approximately 1.5 hours of playback. The charging case uses a Type-C interface, with the earbuds fully charging in about 1.5 hours and the case in 2 hours.
SoundPEATS App Support:
The Air Clip is compatible with the SoundPEATS app, offering:
EQ Presets and Custom Equalizer: Fine-tune sound profiles by adjusting bass, mids, and treble.
Control Customization: Adjust touch or button controls for music, calls, or game mode activation.
Firmware Updates and Features: Monitor battery levels, enable spatial audio or dynamic bass, and update firmware. Users report that app-based EQ adjustments significantly enhance sound quality.
Design and Comfort:
Open-Ear Clip-On Design: Weighing approximately 5.85g per earbud, the Air Clip uses 70% skin-friendly liquid silicone and nickel-titanium memory wire, adapting to various ear shapes for a secure, pressure-free fit. The open-ear design ensures situational awareness, ideal for outdoor activities.
Directional Sound Technology: A directional hole design targets sound into the ear canal, minimizing leakage and enhancing clarity. This creates a speaker-like, open soundstage with spatial audio effects.
Additional Notes:
Compatibility: Works with iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android (Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.), and Windows/Mac systems. For PCs, select “Stereo” mode in Bluetooth settings for media playback and “Hands-Free AG Audio” for calls.
User Feedback: The Air Clip is praised for its sound quality, with strong bass and clear mids/treble for its price. Some users note robotic microphone quality in noisy environments, suggesting phone speakers for clearer calls. The clip-on design is stable for workouts and comfortable for glasses wearers.
Usage Considerations:
Waterproofing Care: Avoid showerannoyshowers or submersion to prevent water damage to electronic components. Dry thoroughly after moisture exposure.
App Dependency: Features like dynamic EQ and spatial audio require the app for optimal performance. Default sound settings may be underwhelming without app adjustments.
Battery Life Variability: Actual battery life may be 6-7 hours per charge at higher volumes or with power-intensive features enabled.
