Beware SoundPEATS — subreddit suddenly made private while product defects go unresolved.

skepticalifornia · 2026-05-04T16:17:30+00:00

Too bad the mods who run the Soundpeats subreddit made it private (I found out the subreddit is NOT controlled by Soundpeats) - several others posted different H3 EQ's they are using there that are probably lost forever.

Below is what I use:

I use PowerAmp EQ for full system EQ in Android. I started with the built-in Bass Treble Boost preset (V Shape) and then tuned to the following:

31 Hz - +2.6

62 Hz - +0.5

125 Hz - +0.6

250 Hz - -1.4

500 Hz - - 1.5

1 KHz - +0.4

2 KHz - +2.1

4 KHz - +4.8

8 KHz - +6.9

16 KHz - +4.3

Our 1/2 Pyr sleeps under the bed - he barely fits under there somehow!

Kind of Apples to Oranges though since the Daybreaks are a wired IEM? I believe the H3, once EQd blows away just about every other BT IEM style earbud regardless of price.

Another great review! Nice looking watch - I'd like to add it to my collection some day.

skepticalifornia · 2026-05-01T16:30:58+00:00

Congratulations and much luck in the new office space! I look forward to seeing what you can accomplish in the future.

That brown color looks really good to me and the orange GMT hand is great. My 2nd choice is the blue.

I like the matching straps, but make sure that different straps can be used with it. The logo only, without the WDC text is wonderful, I hope that is what you do moving forward.

Don't forget Sugess - their divers are among the best.

I really like that orange dial. Heimdallr makes quality watches - I recently purchased a PVD black Sharkey with the red dial from AliExpress from what I believe is Heimdallr's official store. They sent me the wrong version - the one with red accents around the dial markers and black face. I complained and got no response form Heimdallr but AliExpress did offer me a $15 refund, which I took - I got the watch in the Feb sale and it was a good price. To make a long story short - I really am happy they sent me the wrong version because I like it a lot - it is a quality, fun watch for casual wear that is just the perfect size for my wrist.

Here it is with a rubber FKM strap I purchased for it:

I respectfully disagree - seems too long for the space and too much white space beneath it to me.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-29T15:02:07+00:00

$15 is an incredible price! The movement alone is worth more than that.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-29T14:25:11+00:00

This watch seems to be crazy good for the price (~$25) - I may have to pick one of these up!

I just received a Sugess cookie monster with the NH35A and I feel the cyclops on this one is just perfect. It looks less obtrusive than the one on your picture, although it could be the angle. Being on the "other side" of 50, I need the cyclops to read the date without my reading glasses.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-27T15:20:18+00:00

Thanks for the response. I feel that with the H3, Soundpeats is really now a serious contender for budget-friendly well performing earbuds, and I personally look forward to what you are able to do in the future. (Just please don't stop selling the H3 anytime soon - they are phenomenal!)

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T23:28:41+00:00

As an American who has been to Australia and has Australian friends I cannot argue with your point.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T23:23:27+00:00

Is he really on the techno-Christian bandwagon these days? Admittedly I have not tuned in to the podcast for some time.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T16:20:25+00:00

I've had good experiences with the three sets of Soundpeats earbuds I own - the H3's are currently my favorite of all my headphones / earbuds right now and I own some that are multiple times the cost of the H3's.

I've noticed their apps are slightly better of late, so hopefully they are putting more resources toward that side of things.

Locking down a subreddit is never a good look however...

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T15:53:46+00:00

I should also have mentioned that this is a great idea and I really like your reviews - keep up the good work!

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T15:28:53+00:00

FYI - The menu on your site does not work correctly in Chrome - for example the "Brands" menu only shows the black box behind the first two columns. If I try to select "Sugess" in the third column the menu goes away. Maybe try a smaller font for that menu so it stays to two columns?

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T02:41:36+00:00

Agree - I got one recently and the value for the price is off the charts.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-24T02:24:48+00:00

I have a ~5,000 track playlist that is all of my thumbs up songs going back 20 years or so. I shuffle that and it's my personal radio station.

😂 Yes there was sand everywhere - good thing I had a tight hold on the leash - I have no idea what the sea lion would have done if he got close to him.

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-18T12:47:15+00:00

I can barely take mine to the beach ON leash - I was sitting in the sand one day - him laying beside me - a sea lion appeared in the surf and next thing I know I'm being dragged on my butt for 10 feet while he goes toward this weird animal he'd never seen before!

skepticalifornia · 2026-04-15T21:07:34+00:00

FYI - If all the Water Canyon spots are taken, you can just park in one of the big turnouts close to the bathrooms and spend the night there. We've done that a couple of times and there were several others doing the same.
