We test a lot of earbuds, and we're consistently impressed by Soundpeats' ability to deliver exceptional audio quality at an affordable price with models like the Soundpeats H3. The brand seems to be inspired by companies like Gillette and BIC, known for adding more blades to their razors: while the Soundpeats H3 features three drivers per earbud, the new Soundpeats Aura Nebula boasts five.
Alongside the five-driver configuration, these earbuds come with impressive specifications, including lossless audio support, adaptive hybrid ANC, and a wind-resistant design for clearer calls. Priced at just $200 (approximately £150 or AU$299), they offer a competitive alternative to Apple's flagship AirPods.
Soundpeats Aura Nebula: Key Features
The advantage of having multiple drivers is the ability to optimize sound across different frequency ranges. This model includes a 10mm dynamic driver for robust bass, a 6mm planar driver for quick mid-range response, dual balanced armatures for high frequencies, and a micro-planar tweeter for added clarity. According to Soundpeats, this results in a "wide, holographic listening experience."
The term 'holographic' is a popular buzzword among audio brands this year, typically referring to sound that is precise, spacious, and three-dimensional.
The Aura Nebula supports a comprehensive range of audio codecs, including aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, LDAC, LC3, and Snapdragon Sound. Additionally, it features a 3-mic AI call noise reduction system and -55dB of adaptive ANC.
Battery life is rated at 7 hours per earbud, with both wireless and fast charging options available. There's also a 50ms low latency mode for gaming and the ability to pair with two devices simultaneously. Users can customize sound settings through a companion smartphone app.
While a shipping date has yet to be announced, Soundpeats indicates that the Aura Nebula will be available in Spring 2026.
