Mpow Flame S's resistance to sweat makes both devices good for use during long-distance running, marathons, cardio sweat workouts , etc
An earbud foam is made to be ultracompact and lightweight, with little interference with earrings, spectacles, hats, or hairstyles. The Soundpeats Mini Pro have an earbud foam to some it is more comfortable than the in-ear foam.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Mpow Flame S and Soundpeats Mini Pro have stereo speakers
Active noise cancellation uses advanced technology to actively counter noise. ANC works when, it studies the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and inverts the soundwaves to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (sound from your surrounding) and producing -1 (inverted noise) giving 0 hence "diluting" the noise.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have ANC allowing you to listen at lower volume levels, good for your ears as you don't need to crank up the earbuds volume to overcome background sounds.
The Mpow Flame S too have Active Noise Cancellation making both earbuds ideal for plane rides and morning commutes. The Soundpeats Mini Pro and Mpow Flame S work with different noise cancellation settings, pick the mode that you prefer for commute or that enhances your chill time.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro stay tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal that tones down your environment sounds and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same.
Both of these devices have passive noise reduction this implies that they reduce ambient noise instead of actively using technology to cancel it out.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro have a unit size of 10mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, and can produce better bass. The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the device, the unit size dictates the sound made by the device.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery life is 7 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is usually given by the manufacturer, and with more battery hours, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Mpow Flame S's battery life is
more than that of Soundpeats Mini Pro by 5 hours
. Each time you recharge your earbuds, they get a little less playing time. The effect is barely noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will have shorter listening time.
The battery life of the charging case is given by the manufacturer, and the Soundpeats Mini Pro's case has a charge of 14 hours. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go multiple times before recharging the case itself.
It requires 1.5 hours to fully charge the Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds for the first time.
Soundpeats Mini Pro's battery power is 45mAh, battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can keep.
Soundpeats Mini Pro have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. Its lights indicate the charging status of your device and case.
Mpow Flame S too have a battery level indicator, these allow you to tell the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or having a low battery.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro support USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable.

equal to that of the Soundpeats Mini Pro
Soundpeats Mini Pro support AAC, a codec used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Being the highest quality codec that any Bluetooth-supporting Apple product supports, the Soundpeats Mini Pro will work fine with your MacBook. If you intend on using these with Android you need to pay even closer attention to codec support for if they only have AAC they won't provide the best audio quality possible, ensure that they also support aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC as well.
The Mpow Flame S support AAC as well. Designed to be the successor of the MP3 format, AAC generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 encoders at the same bit rate.
Mpow Flame S support LDAC, a codec developed by Sony which allows streaming high-resolution audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bit/96 kHz. It can reach a high bitrate of 990kbps, providing high-resolution audio.
The Soundpeats Mini Pro support APTX Adaptive, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps).
Mpow Flame S support APTX Adaptive as well which implies that both can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as reducing interference from other devices.
Mpow Flame S support APTX Low Latency, a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag for example when playing games.
The Mpow Flame S support APTX HD, an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that are developed by Qualcomm. It supports high-quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
