SOUNDPEATS Capsule3 Pro+ Review

The SOUNDPEATS Capsule3 Pro+ wireless earbuds aim to deliver a blend of high-quality sound, effective active noise cancellation, and comfortable all-day wear — all while keeping the price competitive. Retailing at $89.99 on, they present themselves as an attractive mid-range option for users seeking solid performance without a premium price tag. We tested the Capsule3 Pro+ for nearly two months to assess its design, comfort, audio performance, and overall value.

Packaging & Accessories

The Capsule3 Pro+ comes in a minimal yet well-presented package containing:

• The earbuds with their charging case
• Three sizes of silicone ear tips (S, M, L)
• USB-C charging cable
• Quick start guide and documentation

The inclusion of multiple ear tip sizes makes it easier to achieve a secure and comfortable fit for different ear shapes.

Design & Comfort

The Capsule3 Pro+ features a stem-style design with a smooth matte finish, giving it a clean, modern look. The slightly angled nozzles help with in-ear stability, while the pill-shaped charging case is compact and pocket-friendly.

In daily use, we found the earbuds lightweight and comfortable for extended listening sessions. Even during long commutes or work sessions, there was no noticeable ear fatigue.

Sound Quality

Sound quality is where the Capsule3 Pro+ stands out in its price range. Equipped with 12mm dynamic drivers and supporting high-resolution LDAC audio codec (for compatible devices), the earbuds deliver a richer, more detailed sound than many budget competitors.

• Bass: The low end is present and punchy without being overbearing. Sub-bass has a decent rumble, particularly noticeable in genres like EDM and hip-hop, while mid-bass remains tight and controlled, avoiding the “muddy” effect common in lower-cost earbuds.
• Mids: Vocals and instruments are clear, natural, and well-positioned. Acoustic tracks and vocal-led pop sound warm and engaging, with no excessive coloration.
• Highs: Treble is crisp and detailed, bringing out subtle elements like cymbal hits and ambient effects without causing sharpness or listening fatigue.
• Soundstage & Imaging: For closed-back in-ear earbuds, the soundstage is reasonably wide, offering a sense of space that makes live recordings and orchestral tracks more immersive. Imaging is accurate enough to distinguish individual instruments and subtle panning effects.
• Codec Support: With LDAC enabled, audio streaming can reach up to 990 kbps, offering greater clarity and separation when paired with high-bitrate music sources. SBC and AAC are also supported for broader device compatibility.

Overall, the Capsule3 Pro+ delivers a balanced and versatile sound signature that adapts well to different genres, making it a strong performer for both casual listeners and those who appreciate more detail in their audio.

Noise Cancellation & Transparency Mode

The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) does a good job of reducing low-frequency background noise, such as the hum of public transport or office air conditioning. It’s not at the level of premium ANC earbuds, but it provides a noticeable improvement in quieter listening environments.

Transparency mode works effectively, allowing surrounding sounds to pass through for situations where situational awareness is important, such as walking on busy streets.

Controls & App Support

The touch controls on each earbud are responsive and support playback control, call handling, volume adjustment, and ANC mode switching. The SOUNDPEATS app (available for iOS and Android) provides additional customization, including:

• EQ adjustments
• Firmware updates
• Touch control remapping

These software features add flexibility for users who want more control over their listening experience.

Battery Life

Battery life is rated at up to 8 hours on a single charge (without ANC) and around 6 hours with ANC enabled, with the charging case providing an additional three full charges. This gives a total listening time of up to 32 hours, making them suitable for daily use without frequent recharging.

Connectivity & Call Quality

The earbuds use Bluetooth 5.3 for stable and efficient connectivity. In our testing, pairing was quick, and the connection remained solid within the typical range.

Call quality is good for everyday use, with clear voice transmission and adequate background noise suppression in moderately noisy environments.

Verdict

The SOUNDPEATS Capsule3 Pro+ offers a compelling package for its price point — combining detailed sound quality, effective ANC, a comfortable fit, and reliable battery life. While it may not match the top-tier models in noise cancellation or audiophile-grade audio, it performs consistently well across the board.

For users seeking a dependable and feature-rich pair of wireless earbuds under $100, the Capsule3 Pro+ is easy to recommend.
