SOUNDPEATS has introduced a new pair of true wireless earbuds called the Air5 Pro, priced at $79.99 at Amazon. Sitting in the brand’s growing “Air” lineup, these earbuds pack in a mix of audio tech and convenience features—like AI-powered noise cancellation and high-res wireless audio support—that used to be found mostly in more expensive models.

So, if you're looking to upgrade from your old buds or just want something that handles music, calls, and streaming without too much fuss, the Air5 Pro looks like it's trying to check a lot of boxes.

Inside the Air5 Pro is Qualcomm’s QCC3091 chip, which handles the Bluetooth connection and audio processing. That gives the earbuds access to Snapdragon Sound, which basically means they can deliver higher-quality wireless audio, assuming your phone or device supports it.

The sound itself comes from a 10mm dynamic driver. The goal here seems to be balance—something that gives you decent bass without muddying the mids and highs. That’s especially important for people who switch between podcasts, playlists, and Zoom calls throughout the day.

For those who care about codec support (or have devices that do), the Air5 Pro includes LDAC, aptX Lossless, and LC3. If you don’t, just know that these help preserve audio quality over Bluetooth. They also come in handy for things like watching videos or gaming, where lag between the screen and sound can be really distracting.

Noise cancellation has become a must-have in wireless earbuds, and the Air5 Pro brings its own take with what SOUNDPEATS calls adaptive ANC. Instead of giving you just an on/off switch, these earbuds use AI to automatically adjust the level of noise cancellation based on your environment and how the earbuds fit in your ears.

SOUNDPEATS says the system can reduce noise by up to 55 decibels and also handles wind pretty well. That should help whether you're trying to hear music on a busy commute or just take a call outside without fighting the breeze.

Speaking of calls, the Air5 Pro has six built-in microphones—three on each earbud—with support from cVc 8.0 tech for background noise suppression. That’s the kind of feature that could matter if you take work calls from the road or just want to be heard clearly in noisy places.

The Air5 Pro works with SOUNDPEATS’ companion app, PeatsAudio. Through it, you can fine-tune your EQ settings, switch between ANC and ambient modes, and even update the firmware. There’s also a handy “Find My Earbuds” feature in case one of them disappears between the couch cushions.

Not everyone wants to mess with custom EQs or software updates, but for those who do, the app gives a little extra flexibility. For casual users, it’s still nice to know that firmware updates are a tap away.

As for the battery life and charging, you’re looking at around 7.5 hours of listening on a single charge, with the case adding up to 37 hours total. If you're in a rush, a quick 10-minute charge can get you about two more hours of use. That should be enough for most daily routines, whether you're commuting, working, or just listening on and off throughout the day.

Each earbud weighs just 4.8 grams and is shaped for a more secure, comfortable fit. That’s important for people who wear earbuds for hours at a time—whether that’s for work, travel, or the gym.

The Air5 Pro is currently available in black, but SOUNDPEATS plans to release white, purple, and beige options soon for those who prefer something brighter.

The Air5 Pro has earned a VGP 2025 Gold Award in Japan, a well-known recognition for audio and visual gear in that market. While awards don’t always translate to real-world performance, they do suggest that the earbuds have gotten some positive early impressions.

The SOUNDPEATS Air5 Pro offers a mix of features you don’t often see in this price range: adaptive noise cancellation, hi-res codec support, customizable settings via app, and a decent battery life. It’s aimed at users who want more than the basics, without jumping into the $200+ territory.

Of course, how well it performs in the real world—especially with noise cancellation and call clarity—will be the deciding factor. But for $79.99, it might be worth a closer look if you're hunting for earbuds that don’t skimp on features.

The Air5 Pro is available now on Amazon and through select retailers.
