Soundpeats Capsule3 Pro Plus
1. Introduction
SoundPeats has a long tradition of introducing quality products with innovative features. One of their top-of-the-line audio earbuds is the Capsule 3 Pro+ which has several innovative features and support for Hi-Res (LDAC) audio listening. Today we will examine this product and let you know our thoughts about it.
- Features
- Advanced MEMS Speaker for Compact, High-Precision Sound with Low Power Consumption
- 12mm Dynamic Driver for Powerful Bass and Expansive Soundstage
- Hi-Res Certified with LDAC
- AI Adaptive Noise Cancellation & Triple Mic (Maximum Noise Reduction of 45dB & Bandwidth of 1.8kHz)
- Elegant Design & Comfortable Fit
- Long Battery Life: 6.5 Hours of Playtime & 43 Hours with Charging Case
- New PeatsAudio App for Custom Control

One of the most appealing features is the use of xMEMS Speakers. The Capsule 3 Pro+ adopts Cowell Top Filing MEMS speaker, increasing hardness by 95 times and accelerating response speed by 4 times. With xMEMS solid-state fidelity technology, the sound quality is pure and the details are rich, bringing an unprecedented immersive listening experience.
What is the fuss with the xMEMS speakers? First of all the xMEMS speaker offers spatial audio imaging 7x better than dynamic speakers, providing more precise sound separation and clarity, improving spatial audio imaging. Second, the Cowell MEMS speaker has a response time of 150 times faster than dynamic drivers. Third, the Cowell Top-Firing MEMS micro speaker is incredibly compact, weighing only 56 milligrams and measuring just 1mm thin.
The SoundPeats Capsule 3 Pro + has additional BT codecs to support Hi-Res music playback and support BT LDAC codec. This allows transmit more audio data, providing closer to lossless audio quality, and capturing and reproducing more details. According to Wikipedia, LDAC (Lossless Digital Audio Codec) is a proprietary audio coding technology developed by Sony, which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bits/96 kHz. Its main competitors are Huawei's L2HC, Qualcomm's aptX-HD/aptX Adaptive, and the HWA Union/Savitech's LHDC. On 17 September 2019, the Japan Audio Society (JAS) certified LDAC with their Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. Hi-res audio and high-sound-quality content are available through various music streaming services like Amazon Music, Tidal, Apple Music, Qobuz, and maybe others. The audio content on those services can be reproduced with the best sound quality when transmitted wirelessly via LDAC.
Hi-Res audio captures the original analog audio source with virtually no loss, faithfully reproducing sounds in detail. Unlike CDs, which discard some audio during recording, high-resolution audio includes much more information, such as "thickness, delicacy, depth, and sound pressure level," containing about 6.5 times more data than a CD. As a result, the audio quality is much closer to the original recording, allowing listeners to experience nuances and atmospheres previously inaudible on CDs. LDAC boasts high-resolution audio transmission, supporting up to 24-bit/96 kHz sound with a maximum bitrate of 990 kbps, nearly three times higher than SBC (328kbps, 44.1kHz), help you enjoy dynamic music range, making it particularly suitable for handling high-resolution audio files. Note: The phone must be Android 8.0 or above and needs to support LDAC itself.
The Capsule 3 Pro+ includes AI Adaptive Noise Cancellation & 3 Mic with a maximum noise reduction of 45 dB. Additionally, the Hi-res earbuds utilize 3-mic call noise reduction for clear calls adaptive noise cancellation reduces noise by analyzing users' ear canal structure, wearing style, and ambient noise. Using sensors and algorithms, it identifies the earphones' position and optimal wearing style, adjusting noise cancellation for various ear shapes and habits. When worn and noise cancellation is activated, the adaptive algorithm may have a 2-second delay before optimizing parameters for your ear canal structure and wearing style.
Standard noise-canceling earbuds typically reduce noise by 20-30dB with a bandwidth of 0.5-1.5kHz. In contrast, Capsule3 Pro+ active noise canceling earbuds achieve up to 45dB noise reduction with a 1.8kHz bandwidth. This advanced capability effectively suppresses various environmental noises like airplane engines and office chatter, enhancing focus during listening. Its broader bandwidth simultaneously reduces bass and mid-range frequencies, ensuring clearer and more natural audio playback. In general, adaptive noise-canceling headphones excel in various environments by actively monitoring and adjusting noise cancellation in real time. This ensures optimal noise reduction and sound quality in settings like cafes, offices, airplanes, and public transportation, enhancing personal focus and comfort. Whether minimizing office distractions or suppressing noise on flights, these headphones create a quieter environment for easier work, reading, or relaxation.
Capsule3 Pro+ earbuds provide up to 6.5 hours of continuous playtime on a single charge, and up to 43 hours with the charging case. Note that using LDAC mode may reduce battery life.
Active noise-canceling earbuds are designed for comfort, these earphones ensure a snug, secure fit for all-day wear. Enjoy ergonomic comfort for any occasion.
Lastly, with the PeatsAudio App, you can enjoy enhanced control of your earbuds and set various important features of the product.
