Sonic charge sound12/22/2023 ![]() Instrument separation is good even on challenging tracks. 'Heaven Help' by Lenny Kravitz sounded better than I think it has with many other buds I've tested - very intimate with a nice, balanced soundstage that eeks out what it can from in ear wireless buds - vocals come to the front quite clearly, almost as well with John Legend as they do with Mara Carlyle. Treble is crisp, female vocals are crystal clear with only a little sibilance. Bass in particular is very heavy - I had to notch the sub-bass quite a bit to get them to sing to me, and whilst they are boomy, the lower frequencies are discernible and separate quite nicely, especially with a little tweak of the EQ. The bass and top end are, whilst well represented, not easy to take for prolonged listening out of the box. The Sonic are definitely tuned with the consumer in mind, with a punchy, aggressive sound signature that can become fatiguing even on 60% volume. The price you pay for a lot of tech is the weight displacement, and this, along with the glowing buttons, makes the Sonic a no go for me as a daily beater.Īudio Quality - 7.5/10 (for the price paid), 7/10 (raw score) It makes them far less comfortable than the Alien Secret (pictured directly below the Sonic in the above image), and the angle isn't as ergonomic as the Tronsmart Apollo Bold, which rests in my ears much sturdier. They've made an effort by contouring the buds heavier at the bottom, but whilst I'm sure this helps some, it doesn't really work for me. The isolation is excellent when they are inserted and you get a seal, but because of their chunky design and lack of wing tips, they don't stay in place well at all and so the effort is lost. So ergonomically, the Sonic just don't agree with me in the same way the TrueEngine 3SE and H1, or even the T2, which have a shorter neck, do. There is a lot of tech in these buds, and that takes space. A wing tip would have really helped them, but the main problem is the weight displacement. This is such a shame, as their IPX6 rating does make them suitable for exercise, even a run in the rain. Whilst there is no danger of them falling out when stationary, by laying the responsibility of keeping them in with the tips themselves, they are almost unbearably thuddy for exercise, and before long start to droop with any serious movement. Due to Audible's sleep timer kicking in, the buds stopped playing media and stayed lit up, so absolutely do not consider these for falling asleep with, as this is the last thing your circadian rhythm will want, but they do act as a useful 'ready to talk' light for anyone who wants to interrupt you during the day! I woke up to find the room to resemble Blackpool illuminations during then I fell asleep listening to an audiobook. I probably get more feedback about SoundPEATS reviews than any other brand - which says more about SoundPEATS than my reviews! Their reputation continues to go from strength to strength, and the Sonic are another excellent release - but not for everyone. It's sometimes difficult to keep track of the SoundPEATS range, so I'm always happy when I get feedback that reviewing their offering has helped clarify the differences and ensured buyers know what they're getting. The T2 are specialist ANC buds, and the excellent TrueAir2+ their 'Airpod' equivalent. The H1 lead in terms of clarity, the Sonic are their all-rounders, with a better mic (albeit with a questionable fit). The Sonic are their mid-range offering, with the H1 being their flagship. ![]() SoundPEATS' back catalogue is becoming longer than Katie Price's list of conquests, and the Sonic Pro have already been added, essentially offering little different to the non-Pro version besides a more neutral sound signature and the lights no longer stay on. The Sonic were another exciting release from the fast-paced SoundPEATS brand, offering a new colour scheme and the use of the Qualcomm QCC3040 chip, which supports the efficient aptx-adaptive codec, Bluetooth 5.2 and offers a monstrous single charge battery life. Bluetooth Protocols: HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP.Charging Case Recharge Earbuds: 2 times.Playing Time: About 15 Hours (volume at 60% on SBC).
