Soundpeats H1 specs:
The H1 is a continuation of the SoundPEATS TruEngine 3 SE, with the biggest difference being the center parts of the earbuds: the color part is now bigger and space grey instead of dark-gold. The other change is the bright LED light on the buds, which are always on when you're connected and not playing music.
The earbuds look great with their grey-smooth black color scheme and transparent internal, but they are rather big. Especially in the beginning, you may want to take them out once in a while to relieve some pressure from your ears. Because they hug your inner-ears tremendously, the SoundPEATS H1 offers excellent passive noise isolation. Just putting them in makes them block as much noise as some wireless earphones with ANC active noise cancelling. You don't even have to choose the pre-delivered Comply tips (foam that expands in size in your ears) to reach this effect.
The charging case of the H1 is a tad bulky, but its specs are solid. There's a USB-C charging port on the back, and under the sturdy enough lid, you'll find four LED lights that indicate how much battery the case has left. It's capable of recharging the earbuds three times fully - and how.
The SoundPEATS H1 earbuds offer up to 9,5 hours of playtime on a single charge. What's more, is that a quick 15-minute recharge should set you up for another 2+- hours of listening without problems. Helped by the IPX5-waterproof rating to withstand rain and sweat, the H1 is still an excellent choice for commuting and traveling.
The SoundPEATS H1 has every control you could want right at your fingertips. The touch panel responds well and quickly to your input, although you may activate the volume control a bit too easy sometimes:
As the SoundPEATS H1 doesn't offer ANC, you won't find controls for active noise cancelling or a Transparency mode. The latter could come in handy, however, as the H1 blocks out surrounding noise so well.
Connectivity on the H1 is mostly good, with a strong Bluetooth 5.2 connection up to ten meters away from your device. There are some slight music hiccups, but those are rare and short. Pairing and connecting is fast, and you can always switch seamlessly between listening to one earbud while charging the other, to listen to both earbuds again.
The SoundPEATS H1 is sufficient for phone calls. It removes a great deal of noise around you when you're calling, although it can show a few processing sounds on the line to do so. When you're calling in a quiet room, the person you're talking to can ask you if you're still on the line - it can be that quiet.
It has to be said, though, that the performance is a little inconsistent. One time, the processing sounds took over the entire call and made the voice inaudible. In video calls like, your voice output is too soft. While you sound clear, others need to concentrate on hearing you properly - and it can be hard to interrupt in a call this way.
Happily - watching videos with the H1 is a breeze, with perfect synchronization between audio and video on Android and iPhone. The H1 is equipped with a low-latency gaming mode you can trigger by triple-tapping the left earbud. It works impressively - sound effects follow the action on-screen with little to no noticeable delay.
