This is a review of the SoundPEATS Engine 4. These were sent to me by SoundPEATS, but they had to input into the review itself. Note that product links below may be affiliates. That said, using those is the most direct way to help the channel. Maybe I should start a Ko-Fi or something? Let me know in the comments! (Also, let me know if you read this because I'm convinced no one ever actually reads the descriptions.)

I watched your video yesterday and talked to a relative about it. They must have heard my excitement cause they arrived in the mail today. An early birthday present. The sound is R E M A R K A B L E

Great review sir i have this engine 4 almost perfect hope you review also next the soundpeats opera 05 it has anc and ambient i think i'm planning to buy this winter.

@NorbReviews 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! I’ll take a look at the Opera 05. I’ve also been using the Capsule 3 (which I’ll make a video about) and I’ve really enjoyed them.

AAAAH I'm glad that I looked into your profile after seeing that initial status earbud review. The comfort rating has me not wanting to give those a try, despite the sound quality. I think I'm going to try these out. Curious, you said you have some videos on Codecs but I don't know what that means. Do you have a suggestion on where to start (whether it's a video of yours or elsewhere) to learn about Codecs? I'm android, too, so I hope to try it. Last thing, for music testing, music artist Tash Sultana has an album titled Flow State that has a large variety of sound within it.

First, thanks for the kind words! Comfort is VERY subjective, so if you find them on special (they often sell for $99), I’d 100% recommend trying them out, as you may end up liking them! That said, having LDAC available (and since you’re on Android, you probably do) definitely helps with the Engine4! Which reminds me… Here’s the video I have on codecs: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbJ4ptl7zpmvlnU.htmlsi=AwPVSaSR_vhDpInR It’s a bit dated, but the information should be good enough still, as it covers the most common codecs (but doesn’t touch newer ones like LC3). Finally, thanks for the recommendation!!! I’ll check them out!

Glad you enjoyed it! As for where I’ve been: health, job, burnout. I’m gathering questions for an AMA I’m releasing next week, so I’ll dive deeper, but those are the basics.

do these use the Qualcomm chips you see in the other Soundpeats buds

@NorbReviews 6 ай бұрын

It’s a WQ7033MX chip, which is made by WUQi Micro.

@@NorbReviews I'm dying to try these. I'm a current user of the H1s which I really like. These E4s are reviewing well but unclear to me whether they are an upgrade when compared to the H1 or not. PS. Very good video by the way. 👍

@@whereweregoingwedontneedey4374 - Thank you for the kind words! I haven’t used the H1’s, so I can’t give you an opinion. What I will say is that both are dual drivers, so from that end, they’ll likely be somewhat similar. The E4’s handle LDAC while the H1’s handle aptX Adaptive. If your device does LDAC, you may get a bit more sound definition.

Is this better than Soundpeats Air 4 pro when it comes to sound quality?

@NorbReviews 6 ай бұрын

Haven’t tested the Air 4 Pro, so can’t say. I will say that they’re better than the Capsule 3 Pro, but the trade-off there is features: capsule 3 has more features, Engine 4 sounds better.

@larrysamson 7 ай бұрын

engine 4 or capsule 3 pro? is it really a downside when it comes to mic quality?

@NorbReviews 7 ай бұрын

Both are about the same. The issue I’ve had with both is ultimately that they’re a little too aggressive in blocking external noises, so that when they do, they also cut out a *lot* of voice. This is something I’ve found after using them for a few months, so something I didn’t really dive into with this video.
