Design and Build Quality
The SoundPeats RunFree earbuds feature a sleek and modern design, with a glossy gray plastic faceplate and soft silicone rubber earbuds. The earbuds are lightweight, weighing in at only 31 grams, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The earbuds feature substantial 16.2 millimeter dynamic drivers, providing a well-defined soundstage and a commendable mid-bass sound with a touch of sub-bass.
Battery Life and Charging
The RunFree earbuds offer an impressive 14 hours of playtime when using SBC at 60 volume, making them ideal for extended commutes, workouts, or outdoor adventures. The earbuds also feature a USB Type-C charging port, making them easy to recharge compared to other models which feature a proprietary magnetic charging.
Connectivity and Latency
The RunFree earbuds employ Bluetooth 5.0, providing a reliable connection with minimal latency. This is especially beneficial when outdoors, allowing you to safely jog or cycle while staying attentive to potential hazards such as oncoming vehicles.
Sound Quality
The RunFree earbuds offer a solid sound quality, with a sound profile that leans towards the high end, emphasizing mid-range and treble notes over the bass. Even at maximum volume, the sound remains distortion-free and the volume level is sufficient to overcome noisy surroundings.
Soundpeats RunFree Earbuds Overview
The Soundpeats RunFree Earbuds are a budget pair of earbuds that offer a range of features, including multi-point functionality, SBC and AAC codecs, tactile rubber buttons, and a USBC charging port. The earbuds boast a 3 chipset that allows for simultaneous connection of two devices, providing users with enhanced flexibility and convenience. Moreover, the connection stability and speed are exceptionally reliable.
Tactile Rubber Buttons
The RunFree Earbuds feature three tactile rubber buttons that serve multiple functions, including volume control, track navigation, voice assistant activation, call management, answer and reject, hold game mode activation, and play/pause. These buttons have a raised design, ensuring responsiveness and providing a satisfying clicky feel which contributes to an improved user experience.
USBC Charging Port
The RunFree Earbuds also feature a USBC charging port which is cleverly protected by a rubber plug. This is a useful feature to prevent dirt and lint from accumulating in the port. However, one minor drawback of this rubber plug is its design. It lacks a swivel hinge, making it unable to move out of the way while charging. As a result, the plug tends to bend backward during charging, ultimately leading to deformation and a compromised seal of the USBC port.
Call Quality
In terms of call quality, the RunFree Earbuds offer loud and crystal clear audio, boasting effective noise suppression that effectively blocks background noise from seeping into your calls. The sound quality surpasses the quality typically found in budget Bluetooth earbuds.
Mobile App
The Soundpeats RunFree Earbuds are compatible with a mobile app that enables users to monitor battery levels, fine tune volume settings, and access various functions, including EQ adjustments and the option to personalize sound profiles through a 10 band.
