SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 Review, A Budget-Friendly True Wireless Earbuds Powerhouse? Unveiling the TrueFree 2 Experience

A few years later, most of those companies have all but disappeared. Why would you use ordinary wired earphones when you can have true wireless, the gold standard of audio accessories? Unlike traditional wireless earbuds that require a wire connecting the left and right channels, true wireless earbuds wirelessly communicate with one another. This gives users the never-before-seen freedom of listening to their favourite music, podcast or audiobooks, without getting bothered by a connected wire (or cable ). True wireless earbuds are perfect for running or exercising; for those who move frequently from one location to another (commuting, travelling for work) Given the increasingly fierce competition in the true wireless earbud space, we often see touted by newer brands.

SoundPEATS, established in Shenzhen in 2011, has become a notable player in the competition for true wireless earbuds, thanks to the brand’s consistent quality of sound at very affordable price points. Let’s get into details with the SoundPEATS TrueFree 2. The TrueFree 2 is essentially the sequel to the brand’s popular (and one we’ve reviewed) earbuds called TrueFree. SoundPEATS hopes to make the second generation better by improving the sound quality, increasing the battery life and adding certain features that make the earbuds better for consumers while still remaining budget-friendly.

But can this device deliver on its hype and prove to be a clear improvement over its predecessor, just as the TrueFree 2 ad touts? To get to the bottom of that, we’ll dig deep into a detailed review of the sound quality, design, ease of use, battery life and performance of the SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 compared with the TrueFree 2 Pro, with a look at the overall strengths and weaknesses compared with the original SoundPEATS TrueFree and some of its best competitors. This comprehensive take should help you decide whether these true wireless earbuds should be on your wish list.

Design and Comfort: A Harmonious Blend of Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 earbuds are relatively slim and elegant, available in two tones: black and white. The minimalist and compact construction make the earbuds light and small in size (4.3 g each) while the ergonomic in-ear design is designed to provide long term comfort. It is a removable, hook shaped silicone earpiece with multiple sizes of ear tips included in the package, making it a perfect option for either a sturdy but completely secure fit or a comfortable and relaxing listening experience.

The ergonomic design ensures long term comfort while the tight fit prevents external noises from interfering with your music enjoyment. The tighter fit gives the earbuds a more secure grounding and complete sound isolation is only achieved through a tight fit. A secured fit is also essential for outdoor activities like running and workouts, especially if you take part in outdoor activities such as running or working out, since it guarantees the earbuds won’t fall off during exercises.

The SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 charging case is small and lightweight, and aesthetically similar to a stone, with a glossy finish. It’s a thin little case, stylish and ambient, a true sign of sophisticated design. The USB-C charging port is located underneath, which is convenient and practical since the cap doesn’t have a USB-C tab. The lid itself opens smoothly with a click and softly closes back onto the case. With the earbuds inside when closed up, the TrueFree 2 case feels sleek and easy to carry in your pocket or throw into a bag. Point Two, the best point about the design of these earbuds is how they fit into the ears.

Sound Quality: Immersive Audio at an Unbelievable Price

The 10mm dynamic driver units fitted into the SoundPeats TrueFree 2 are a particularly popular choice for manufacturers who want to deliver a highly detailed listening experience. They’re able to reproduce sounds across a wide frequency range so whether you’re listening to highs or lows, they should both be captured in the fullest detail to produce a balanced sound designed to cater for delivering clear highs, punchy bass and accurate mids. This makes them great for listening to a range of music from classical to electronic.

Bass response could cause some jarring, but it’s fairly rich and punchy without any muddiness. Highs are crisp and clear with excellent detail and separation. Mids are well-represented and don’t cause any issues with genres requiring wider frequency coverage. It’s clear, in summary, that the SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 is a long way from offering the level of detail and nuance you’ll get from a pair of earbuds at a couple of hundred bucks. But they are far better than many similarly priced wireless earbuds. You are getting a profoundly satisfying proportion of the auditory picture for a highly competitive price.

Battery Life and Charging: Enduring Power for Uninterrupted Listening

The SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 has also a battery life that can last up to 5 hours on each charge, which is more than enough for our daily commutes or workouts. the total playtime can reach up to 25 hours with the charging case. In case that your played-out earbuds are still locked inside their charging case, the Fast charging case provides you just 10 minutes with 1 hour of playtime, which will come in handy when you need to instantly charge your earbuds.

This is awesome for those who are as busy as us in general. The TrueFree 2's battery life and charging speed are optimized for those who are obsessed with efficiency and time, and never want to face interruptions in their music listening journey. This feature enables the TrueFree 2 to become our right-hand earbuds no matter if we are at home or on the go.

Connectivity and Features: Seamless Integration and Control at Your Fingertips

SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 earbuds have the newest Bluetooth 5.0 technology. The newest Bluetooth 5.0 enhances speed, range and decreases power consumption. This means quick and easy connection to your device and range so that you never have to worry about connection dropping. The considerable power efficiency of Bluetooth 5.0 helps in extended use of the earbuds.

The audio transmission is instant and precise and allows lag-free calls and watching videos. Like the SoundPEATS TrueFree 2s, both earbuds are touch-sensitive so you can control music playback, answer calls and activate your device’s voice assistant on the fly, without having to find and fiddle with your phone. The touch controls are pretty responsive and it’s fun playing around with them to tweak your listening experience.

Water Resistance and Durability: Ready for Everyday Adventures

Water-resistant and sweat-proof, SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 earbuds are rated at IPX4. The water-resistant rating means that the earbuds are protected from splashing water but not for submersion under water. Therefore, the earbuds are appropriate for workouts, runs or other activities during which they come in contact with moisture. Other common IP ratings are 4, 5, 6, and 7, which respectively indicate that your electronics and wearables are waterproof. An IP6 water-resistant rating is appropriate for intermittent or short-lived exposure to water.

However, for electronics that come in contact with water on a regular basis, such as waterproof watches, swimming goggles, or wearable activity trackers, it’s best to choose a higher IPX rating of at least 7 to ensure greater protection. Though the SoundPEATS TrueFree 2 wouldn’t pass a waterproof test for extreme sports or activities, IPX4 means they’d be fine for most ordinary scenarios; and coupled with the high-quality build materials used elsewhere, you get a general sense of sturdiness that gives you confidence that the TrueFree 2 will stick with you for a good long while.
