Budget wireless earbuds are more competitive than ever, and that makes it easier to save money on what you put in your ears. Even the best wireless earbuds include budget-friendly choices, even if you have not heard of them before.

The Soundpeats Pro Mini aim to be both small and powerful, yet with some sonic prowess to go with it. It is not a perfect combination, but there is plenty to like.

Soundpeats Mini Pro: Price and availability

Soundpeats made the Mini Pro available for $799.99. As time goes on, you are likely to see some price drops for Soundpeats products. They come in black, so there are no other variations. Soundpeats can be purchased on Amazon as well.

Smaller earbuds are nice to have when you don't want to carry a lot of weight in your ears, but that is also a relative term. When manufacturers shave off some fat, they usually lose a feature or two to make room. Soundpeats tries to find a balance that doesn't exclude anything.

If the Mini Pro didn't fit well or felt uncomfortable, it would be pointless. The earbuds do stick out a little, but they are slim and come at the cost of the length.

They are very comfortable. The lightweight build makes them feel very soft. Soundpeats includes three sizes of ear tips in the box, and while it may feel limiting, odds are good that one of those will suit your ears well.

The aptX adaptive support, which is included in the excellent Bluetooth codec support, gives them a broader appeal and use cases, especially forAndroid users. You get standard SBC, apart from aptX, because AAC isn't part of the sonic specifications.

Soundpeats managed to deliver sound quality that can impress with 10mm drivers. It was nice to hear mids that were not muddy or restrained, along with good bass and warm highs, that rounded out an effective sound profile. Soundpeats didn't want to skew too far one way or another, so I can't point to one particular genre over another. If you like bass-heavy music, you may find these don't rumble enough. Cheap wireless earbuds often cover that, so you have options if these aren't the right choice for you.

They work best when active noise cancelation is on, but you can leave it off or go to transparency when you want to pipe the background in. To switch between modes, hold the left earbud for 1.5 seconds. There is no dedicated app to share some of the functions of the various touch controls.

The Game mode in Soundpeats is good for mobile gaming because of the aptX adaptive support. The Mini Pro held up well when I tried it with the Game Pass. That was a pleasant surprise.

The aptX Adaptive support is the main reason why Soundpeats includes a Game mode into the mix.

I think call quality is decent or adequate. I found that the results were better in quieter areas than on the other side of a call. The key to distraction is to get as tight a seal into your ear as possible.

If you want to go in mono mode, you don't have to stick to one of the earbuds every time. The right or left side can act as the main conduit between your device and the other ear bud.

The earbuds have a good battery life. If you don't use ANC, you can stretch it up to seven hours. ANC knocks it down to five hours, which is1-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-65561-6556 The case charges fully in 90 minutes. Unfortunately, there is no wireless charging.

While you can achieve a comfortable fit that is also sturdy with the Mini Pro, they might slip out after a while. One of them would get loose if I laughed or yawned. It was more often than I would have liked.

I don't like these earbuds for running or workouts because of that. If you are going to be active, the shaky fit of the IPX5 rating is a cause for concern. Sweat makes the surface slippery. It would have been easier to pull it off if they had been made with wing attachment.

There is no way to use them with two devices at the same time. Soundpeats does not offer an app to get more out of the Mini Pro. It does have an app, but it is a mess and doesn't seem to support these earbuds.

The Soundpeats Mini Pro is one of the best cheap wireless earbuds. The Soundcore Life P3 are a solid alternative that offer a lot of the same features and performance, and give you an app to use. The Jabra Elite 3 have good sound and a comfortable fit, but they don't have ANC or aptX adaptive support.

The Mini Pro is a good budget alternative to the Hammerhead True Wireless. They don't have the flash or app support that Razer threw in, but they can compete.

Soundpeats Mini Pro: Should you buy it?

You should buy this if...

  • You want good sound with ANC support.
  • You want lightweight and comfy earbuds.
  • You're on a tighter budget.

You shouldn't buy this if...

  • You want beefier bass.
  • You want something more rugged.
  • You want app support.

The Soundpeats Mini Pro are effective at doing a few of the key things right, which is how they sound, and for the most part, how they fit. Good ANC performance, aptX adaptive support, and decent battery life earn them their value proposition.

If you have small ears or not, it doesn't matter. It's great for those looking for something that fits, because their thinner design applies to any pair of ears. Make sure they stay in there so they don't get out.
