Design and Build Quality
The Hoppup earbuds come in a completely gaming-designed case with pretty decent build quality considering the price range of the earbuds, and the case is compact enough for you to carry it along with you. It comes with Hoppup branding on the top, a charging port on the back side, and RGB lights on it with breathing effects. There is no button provided in the case if you wish to reset the buds.
Once you open the lid, you can see the earbuds are tightly packed inside the case and they do not fall off easily from the case. There is a digital battery indicator available when you open the lid. The buds are stem-shaped with an RGB light combination, giving a complete feel of gaming earbuds. The fit and comfort of the earbuds are amazing, and they do not fall off your ears. On wearing the earbuds, we can say it cancels about 80% of the background noise.
The earbuds come with an IPX4 water and sweat-resistant feature, which protects your earbuds from sweat and splashes of water, and thus can be a great companion to your workouts.

Also, at this price point, you get Instant wake and pair (IWP) technology which establishes an instant connection with the last paired device in a fraction of a second after you open the lid. You will not get Dual Device Pairing support in these earbuds.
Battery Life
The battery life of the earbuds is pretty amazing considering the price range of the earbuds. It comes with 8 to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge, and a massive 50 hours using the charging case. Also, it has a Rapid Charge feature which gives 120 minutes of playback time by charging the buds for just 10 minutes.

Gaming Test
Being gaming earbuds, there's a lot to expect from these buds and we feel that the buds have lived up to the expectations. With a 35 ms low latency, and dedicated gaming mode - Rage mode, we get an amazing gaming experience. We tried a live BGMI game test and we can say that the volume, in-audio experience, and stereo separation are amazing. You can easily identify if the enemy is coming from left or right, and we can say it is one of the best gaming earbuds under 1000.
Music Experience
Hoppup Predator Earbuds come with 13 mm dynamic drivers with SBC codec support and no AAC codec. The volume in the earbuds is pretty loud, and even at 100% volume, you will not feel any distortions. And about the sound leakage, on increasing the volume above 70% you can feel slight noise leakage issues. The trebles, vocals, and instrument separation in the earbuds are well-balanced, and provide an amazing sound output especially if you are someone who loves acoustic music.
The bass of the earbuds is pretty decent and has boosted bass experience with depth in it, but the extra powerful boosted bass is found missing in it.
Calling Test
These earbuds come with Dual Microphone Setup with Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENX) technology. After a calling experience, we can say that in indoor conditions you get an amazing calling experience, and in outdoor conditions, it provides a decent experience as it catches some background noise.
