Design - The Opera 3 are a classy looking bud. You can tell a lot of attention has been paid to material choices and finish. Shiny copper is the main accent. The buds stand out against the sea of options I have in front of me in matte black.
Tech - Soundpeats has a solid collection of techs on tap for this price tier. This is not an exotic tier of bud, but we should count on mainstream lifestyle features.
Bluetooth 5.3, with listed support for SBC and LDAC codecs. We’re in a surge of premium earbuds using better codecs to improve audio fidelity. Seeing LDAC well below $100 is always going to make me happy.
That signal quality matters here, where the Opera 3 employ a fun dual driver set up. A decently large 12mm Dynamic Driver is backed up with a balanced armature. This is my favorite hardware combo for fun consumer tuning. The larger driver helps flesh out richer lows, while the balanced arm can tackle midst, highs, and is distinctly articulate. Feeding that combo good data makes for a fun combo.
The Opera 3 are rated IPX4, a good level of sweat resistance, though I’m not sure I’d position these as sport buds. The focus seems to be a bit more on audio quality.
