These new $40 Soundpeats earbuds sound shockingly good

The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a few things going for them.

They also sound surprisingly good, with clear, nice-detailed sound and punchy bass.

They sound as good or better than buds I’ve used in the $100-$150 price range.

There’s also a “pass-through” transparency mode that lets ambient sound in.

Voice-calling performance was only average.

TheSoundpeats T3($36) are better for voice calling but these Mini Pro buds sound significantly better.

They paired up again without a problem once I reset them and paired them back to my phone.

(I tried them with aniPhone 13 ProandPixel 4 XL.)
