- Five-driver design, aptX Lossless and LDAC
- Adaptive ANC and wind-resistant design
- $200 (around £150 / AU$299)
We test a lot of headphones and we’re always impressed with Soundpeat’s ability to deliver great value for money with headphones like the Soundpeats H3. And it seems the brand took some ideas from Gilette and BIC, who never met a razor they didn’t want to cram more blades into: where the Soundpeats H3 had three drivers per earpiece, the new Soundpeats Aura Nebula has five.
In addition to this five-driver setup, there are impressive specs including lossless audio and LDAC, adaptive hybrid ANC, and a wind-resistant design for clear calls. And the price is very competitive: just $200 (around £150 or AU$299 – which is cheaper than Apple’s flagship AirPods).
Soundpeats Aura Nebula: main features
The benefit of multiple drivers is that you can leverage the strengths of different driver types. Here, that means a 10mm dynamic driver for punchy bass, a 6mm planar driver for fast midrange response, dual balanced armatures for higher frequencies, and a micro-planar tweeter for some sparkle up top. The result, according to Soundpeats anyway, is a “broad, holographic listening experience.”
“Holographic” seems to be audio companies’ favorite buzzword at CES this year and in case you’re wondering what that means sonically, it’s generally understood to mean precise, spacious, three-dimensional sound.
The Aura Nebula comes with a comprehensive collection of codecs, including all the really good ones: aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, LDAC, LC3, and Snapdragon Sound. And that’s coupled with 3-mic AI call noise reduction and -55dB of adaptive ANC.
Battery life is 7 hours per earbud with wireless and fast charging; there is a 50ms low latency mode for gaming; and there is a pairing of two devices. And you can customize the sound via the companion smartphone app.
We don’t have a shipping date for these new headphones yet, but Soundpeats says they will be available in Spring 2026.
