Operation of the earbuds
The operation of the SoundPEATS Truengine 3 SE and the Truengine SE are very different. One earbuds have touch controls and the other earbuds have buttons.
| Controls | |
| 3 SE | Touch control |
| SE | Buttons |
Buttons or touch control. We get different feedback from customers. One thinks buttons are better, the other thinks touch operation is better. So it is very personal. A frequently mentioned advantage of buttons is that they never let you down: if you press the button, the earbuds always respond. A frequently mentioned disadvantage is that you have to press the earbuds to press the buttons. You then press the earbud (depending on how smoothly you can press a button) into your ear canal. That can feel uncomfortable.
