Product Information

I really liked the way SoundPeats have configured their LED indicators to externally show that each earbud is charging properly as well as the overall charge level of the case itself. The T2 blocks both distant and nearby sounds better, even passively, as it seals your ears off better. On my Instagram review there is a video of me testing out the ANC outdoors at around 60-95 dbA, and it works astonishingly well for the money.

Not as convenient as having multipoint (which is still few and far in TWS), but it does save the step of disconnecting to my current device.The volume stays constant without any fluctuations, so these are great for playing instruments while listening to music. In a way, the T2 is the counterpart of the recently released SoundPEATS Sonic, which didn't lift the darker tones, but the higher frequencies instead, resulting in a very clear but almost aggressive sound that could become too bright at times.

Fortunately you are able to power the earbuds off, but having to power them on individually in this situation is cumbersome. The T2’s offer pretty much every feature you really need in a pair of wireless headphones - including volume control on the buds themselves. In comparison to the Alien Secret, which can feel extremely intrusive in your ear canal, they only extend a further 7.Connectivity is quite solid with very infrequent dropouts (I notice some on my phone when I have its bluetooth modem oriented a certain way, but I’m not sure I can blame the earbuds for this issue which occurs on other devices as well). The Soundpeats P2 is a very unassuming pair of TWS earbuds - it's fair to say that they kinda look pretty generic and unimpressive all in all. Among the ANC modes, aside from the default hybrid ANC, you are able to adjust feed-forward and feed-back ANC modes. Most concerning is that I notice a slight buzzing artifact after prolonged listening on the left earbud - I hear it regardless of whether ANC is turned on or off. There's no doubt in my mind that the technology that Sony, Apple, Bose and Sennheiser employed in their leading edge products from the last couple of years have now filtered down into the budget market.

Another gripe is that the ANC setting is not remembered - these will always default to ANC off each time you power on the earbuds. Below this SoundPEATS T2 review, you will find comparisons of the SoundPEATS T2 vs SoundPEATS Sonic, Earfun Free Pro, Oppo W51, Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro, Fiil T1Pro and T1 Lite, the Sennheiser CX 400BT. There is also no wireless charging, and you need to give it 1a juice for 2 hours to get the full 30 hours - there is no quick charge - but the USB-C connector is on the back side, not the rear, which means you can charge it upright and see how much charge it has whilst it is charging. For most users, the signature will be inoffensive and adequate, avoiding the shrill that many budget buds have been typecast with from the early days of extreme v shapes, but with quite a narrow soundstage the detail and clarity you get on higher end TWS are unsurprisingly devoid, feeling somewhat congested on complex arrangements.The thing that sets SoundPEATS apart from other vendors, and makes them my favourite budget earbud vendor, is that they are completely transparent over their components.
