APH Networks: SoundPEATS Air5 Pro Review
After moving, I have found myself exploring new areas while also finding some new music to listen to. Generally speaking, I think I have been living a pretty peaceful life. I often go on walks around the community while browsing for new music, and two genres make the walks go by much faster, whether it is because I get lost in the music or I am just focused on finding new songs. In terms of new genres I have been getting into, I now have an appreciation for jazz and R&B. Something about these two genres is rather peaceful and really nice to walk to. R&B is self-explanatory as to why I enjoy walking to it based on its name, but jazz is a different story. For jazz, it just reminds me of walking through a town in a game. I think many people who have played Persona 5 will share some of the same sentiment. It is the same as when you hear MapleStory’s original soundtrack, and it brings you back to walking through the towns. Music is really a powerful thing. Something that accentuates music is a solid pair of earbuds. Without a good set on your hands, the experience will never be the same. That brings us to the product we have here today. SoundPEATS has sent over the Air5 Pro to test out. Will the SoundPEATS Air5 Pro satisfy my need for good music on my walks? Keep reading to find out!
