Summary

Introduction
The UAE’s wireless audio market has become highly competitive, with consumers expecting premium features without paying flagship prices. This trend has created opportunities for brands like SoundPEATS to gain attention among value-conscious buyers.
Founded in 2010, SoundPEATS first built its reputation through affordable true wireless earbuds before expanding into sports earphones, open-ear solutions, and over-ear headphones. Over the years, the brand has consistently introduced features such as Active Noise Cancellation, LDAC support, gaming modes, and extended battery life at accessible price points.
The latest SoundPEATS Cove Pro continues that approach. On paper, it offers 56dB Adaptive ANC, Bluetooth 6.0, LDAC support, and up to 95 hours of battery life, all for just Dhs. 257.04 in the UAE.
After spending time using the Cove Pro for music, video calls, and daily work sessions, I wanted to see whether it could genuinely compete with more expensive alternatives. The experience turned out to be better than I expected.
Design, Packaging & Specifications
Packaging
The SoundPEATS Cove Pro comes in a branded white box featuring an image of the headphones and a translucent “S” logo on the front. The front of the box features the Hi-Res Audio Wireless logo along with LDAC certification. The “S” logo and “Cove Pro” branding are embossed in gold on the box. The right side highlights the key features, while the left side carries the brand’s tagline, “Hear the Difference.”. And on the back, you have more features and licenses listed, along with the manufacturer’s details.
When you open the box from the top, you’ll find a plastic sleeve with the headphones and charging cable tucked inside. The box comes with a Peats sticker, a user manual, and App guide.
Design & Build Quality
The SoundPEATS Cove Pro follows a clean and modern design language. It does not try to look flashy. Instead, it focuses on practicality and comfort.
The headphones feature a lightweight 251g body with memory foam ear cushions. The headband uses matte black ABS plastic with metal sliders that allow users to adjust the fit according to their preference. There is memory foam in the centre of the headband to give comfort during long listening sessions. The foldable construction makes them easy to carry inside a backpack or travel bag.
The matte finish helps the headphones maintain a premium appearance despite their affordable pricing. Physical control buttons are positioned on the earcups, making playback and ANC adjustments easy without relying on touch controls.
Specifications
SoundPEATS Cove Pro comes with 40mm Dynamic Drivers with a Titanium-coated Diaphragm which delivers deep, controlled bass with clean mids and crisp treble. The earcups are made of memory foam covered with synthetic leather.
The headphones come with 56dB Hybrid Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation. Which is possible with the 7-Microphone AI ENC System. As for connectivity, it comes with Bluetooth 6.0 for a clean, stable connection and provides a 10-meter range. SoundPEATS Cove Pro supports LDAC, AAC and SBC Codec Support.
The device charges via USB-C Charging and supports Dual Device Connection. It is IPX4 Water Resistance, so not to fear about dust and sweat but not suggested for heavy pouring rain or swimming.
The PeatsAudio app unlocks additional features and customization options for the headphones.
Battery Life & Charging
Battery performance is where the Cove Pro truly stands out. The headphones deliver up to 95 hours of playback with ANC disabled and around 58 hours with ANC enabled. This is significantly higher than many competitors in the same segment. A quick 10-minute charge can provide up to 11 hours of listening time. It also supports Low Latency Gaming Mode (0.06s)
For UAE consumers who travel frequently or spend long hours working remotely, this battery endurance becomes a major advantage.
Audio Performance & LDAC Audio Support
Many budget headphones skip advanced audio codec support. The Cove Pro includes LDAC compatibility, allowing compatible Android smartphones to stream higher-quality audio compared to standard Bluetooth codecs. Combined with the 40mm titanium drivers, the headphones deliver detailed vocals, energetic bass, and respectable clarity across most music genres.
Comfort & Control
Long listening sessions can become uncomfortable with heavy over-ear headphones. At only 251g, the Cove Pro remains lightweight and comfortable. The memory foam padding helps distribute pressure evenly around the ears, making the headphones suitable for extended work sessions, flights, and entertainment use.
The controls are simple, the Power button is multifunctional for Switch On/Off, Bluetooth and for Play/Stop. There is also a dedicated button for audio modes. However, the headphones do not offer track skip or previous-track controls directly from the headset.
Daily Usage & Features
During everyday use, the SoundPEATS Cove Pro feels surprisingly mature. The Bluetooth 6.0 connection remains stable while switching between devices. Dual-device connectivity allows users to stay connected to a laptop and a smartphone simultaneously. During testing, the connection remained stable even through three brick-wall partitions.
The 7-microphone AI ENC system performs well during calls. Voices remain clear even in moderately noisy environments. Even with a television playing in the background, voice and audio clarity remained impressive.
Peats Audio
The PeatsAudio application also adds useful customisation options. Users can adjust EQ profiles, manage ANC settings, and personalise their listening experience. For audio, it comes with 3 modes – Noise Cancellation, Normal and Transparent. Under ANC, you get additional options – Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Indoor Noise Cancellation, Outdoor Noise Cancellation, Traffic Mode, and Anti-Wind Noise. In Transparent mode, you get two options: Voice Enhancement and Standard Transparency.
Personally, I customised EQ settings to noticeably improve sound quality, especially for bass and vocal tuning.
Gamers will appreciate the low-latency mode that reduces audio delay during gameplay and video streaming.
The default audio tuning can occasionally sound bass-heavy depending on the content being played. Fortunately, the app-based EQ provides flexibility to tailor the sound profile according to personal preferences.
Price and Availability in the UAE
The SoundPEATS Cove Pro Over-Ear Headphones are available in the UAE for Dhs. 257.04.
On Amazon.ae there is a limited offer – AED159.14.
At AED 159.14 during promotional periods, it becomes an exceptional value proposition for music lovers.
The Cove Pro competes directly against several entry-level ANC headphones while offering features usually found in higher-priced models. The combination of Adaptive ANC, LDAC support, Bluetooth 6.0, and outstanding battery life gives it strong value for money.
Verdict
The SoundPEATS Cove Pro proves that affordable headphones no longer need to compromise on essential features.
The Adaptive ANC performs better than expected for the price. Battery life is exceptional. Comfort remains excellent during long listening sessions, while LDAC support adds extra value for Android users.
Audiophiles looking for perfectly balanced sound may spend time adjusting EQ settings. However, everyday users seeking long battery life, effective noise cancellation, reliable connectivity, and strong overall value will find plenty to like.
For UAE consumers searching for budget-friendly over-ear ANC headphones, the SoundPEATS Cove Pro delivers an experience that exceeds expectations and punches well above its price segment.
