SKU: 3136

Manufacturer: Soundpeats

The Soundpeats Air 5 Pro Plus are true wireless in-ear earbuds designed for listeners who want a cable-free experience with a solid feature set. Built around a 10 mm driver and rated IPX5 for water resistance, they cover a wide frequency range from 20 Hz up to 40,000 Hz. One of their more notable qualities is active noise cancellation, which works alongside passive noise isolation to reduce unwanted ambient sound during everyday use.

On the connectivity side, the Air 5 Pro Plus run on Bluetooth 5.4 and support LDAC, Bluetooth LE Audio, and aptX Lossless, giving users several high-quality audio transmission options depending on their source device. Audio latency is rated at 60 ms, and the maximum wireless range reaches 10 m. Battery life sits at 6 hours per charge from the earbuds themselves, with the charging case extending total playback to 24 hours; ANC use reduces earbud runtime to around 3.5 hours. The case charges via USB Type-C, and fast charging is supported. Multipoint connectivity allows pairing with up to two devices simultaneously, and the earbuds also function as a headset with a noise-canceling microphone and a mute function included.

Pros

Supports LDAC, aptX Lossless, and Bluetooth LE Audio, offering multiple high-quality wireless audio transmission options
Active noise cancellation combined with passive noise isolation provides two layers of ambient sound reduction
Multipoint connectivity allows simultaneous pairing with two devices, useful for switching between a phone and laptop
The charging case extends total battery life to 24 hours, making the earbuds practical for full-day use
Fast charging support helps reduce downtime when the battery runs low
A travel bag is included in the box, adding convenience for carrying and storage

Cons

Battery life drops noticeably from 6 hours to 3.5 hours when active noise cancellation is enabled
Wireless charging is not supported, requiring a cable for every charge
No in/on-ear detection means music does not pause automatically when an earbud is removed
The find device feature is absent, making it harder to locate misplaced earbuds
Fast pairing and NFC pairing are not available, requiring manual Bluetooth setup each time
Wingtips are not included, which may affect ear stability during physical activity

Who is this for?

The Air 5 Pro Plus are well suited to everyday listeners who want a cable-free, high-quality audio experience and value flexibility in codec support, given the inclusion of LDAC, aptX Lossless, and Bluetooth LE Audio. The active and passive noise cancellation combination makes them a practical choice for commuters, office workers, or anyone regularly dealing with ambient noise. Those who frequently switch between a phone and a laptop will also benefit from the two-device multipoint connectivity, and the IPX5 water resistance rating means light workouts or outdoor use in variable weather are within reasonable scope.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need extended listening sessions with ANC enabled may find the 3.5-hour battery life limiting, as the reduction from 6 hours is significant for long travel or full workday use. The absence of in/on-ear detection and a find device feature makes these earbuds less convenient for users who regularly remove them mid-use or tend to misplace small accessories. Those who require wingtip support for a more secure fit during intense physical activity may also find the design less reliable, and listeners who depend on wireless charging for daily convenience will need to rely on a cable instead.

Final Verdict

The Soundpeats Air 5 Pro Plus present a well-rounded set of true wireless earbuds that stand out for their broad codec support — including LDAC, aptX Lossless, and Bluetooth LE Audio — alongside a dual-layer noise management system that combines active and passive noise cancellation. The IPX5 water resistance, multipoint pairing, and 24-hour total battery life through the charging case add meaningful practical value for daily use. While ANC use does cut earbud runtime noticeably and a few convenience features like wireless charging and in/on-ear detection are absent, these are trade-offs that fit squarely within the product's intended audience. For listeners who prioritize audio transmission quality and versatile connectivity in a compact, wireless form factor, the Air 5 Pro Plus deliver a feature set that holds up well against everyday demands.
