The SoundPEATS C30 are an impressive pair of wireless earbuds that deliver good performance at such a low-price tag. Straight out of the case they feel light and comfortable, with a secure fit that works well for everyday listening as well as trips to the gym or a walk to the shops.
Sound quality is a real surprise, it supports LDAC for higher quality wireless audio on compatible devices, which helps bring out more detail and depth than standard Bluetooth streaming. The overall tuning is well balanced with a satisfying low end, clear vocals and crisp but controlled treble. They are easy to listen to for long periods and will suit everything from podcasts to your favourite tunes.
Active noise cancelling is built in and does a respectable job of reducing background rumble from traffic or public transport. It will not match the most expensive models on the market, but it makes a noticeable difference in busy environments. There is also a transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need to stay aware of what is going on around you.
The touch controls allow you to manage playback, calls and noise control without constantly reaching for your phone, they can be a bit fiddly and a little over sensitive in their response so it may be easier to control from your phone.
Battery life is another strong point. You can expect close to ten hours from the earbuds on a single charge, with well over forty hours available when using the charging case. A quick top up provides a useful boost if you are in a hurry. With reliable Bluetooth connection, water resistance for light rain and solid call quality, the SoundPEATS C30 offer excellent value for everyday use. RRP £29.29
