AIR5 PRO REVIEW SUMMARY:
SoundPEATS' latest instalment successfully delivers their best ANC implementation yet, strong transparency, better call performance and longer battery life, but they still lack some of the bells and whistles of their competitors, notably wind noise reduction, spatial audio and in-ear detection. Still, the driver performance is strong and these sound decent after a bit of EQ, which you have plenty of ability to customise in the still rather ropey Peats Audio app.

Full Disclaimer:

This is a hobby for me and I made the decision a long time ago that I would never take payment from a manufacturer in exchange for a review. I am a former DJ, producer and tour manager who has a busy and well-paid day job, but reviewing audio products fills a void in my spare time now I'm no longer involved in the music industry.

I made the decision when I started reviewing that I wouldn't put any core content behind a paywall, so there is no Patreon nor subscription fees - all of my measurements, samples and content is full and free of charge. This enables viewers in poorer countries to benefit from the full experience. I may in the future consider a subscription model but only if I can offer something extra and I really think it's worth it. Don't hold your breath!

I am naturally sent some stuff for free by manufacturers who are looking to enhance visibility of their products, but the majority of what I review is paid for by me. Since I started reviewing, I've paid for at least one set of earbuds or headphones from every single brand that has featured on the channel. Some are even sent by friends and subscribers, and in each case I conduct the reviews with the same mindset and consistent, repeatable and defensible methodology.

When I receive free product, reviews are on my terms. I have full creative license over content and format. I include product links and manufacturer specifications/marketing material, but that's as far as it goes.

If brands don't agree with my terms, I won't work with them. Over the last few years I've stopped working with some for even rushing me when I'm busy. I'm here to enjoy doing this and to help people, not profit. Encouragingly, the overwhelming majority of brands agree to these terms.

I include objective tests in every review - far more than other TWS reviewers. This is a measure of objectivity - you will rarely ever see me recommend a product or brand outright, I always urge viewers where possible to watch my videos so they can make better informed decisions. I am not a 'trust me bro' reviewer and never will be.

Obviously, I cannot fund the channel 100% out of my own pocket, so to help pay for new earbuds I sell some of what I receive to fellow audio enthusiasts at a vastly reduced rate. I receive a small kick-back from affiliate links but they're not specific to that product (i.e. if you buy something else, I still get a small percentage). I also accept donations via Ko-Fi if you feel like my reviews have helped you in some way.

Ethics is a key consideration. I am 100% transparent over how I work. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
