SP99 in white, with battery digits on the case

The SP99 is a white in-ear stem earbud with a small LED display on its case. The readout shows how much charge is left in the case and in each bud, so you can tell at a glance whether it needs the cable tonight. Inside each bud sits a 14.2mm driver, linked to your phone over Bluetooth 5.4.

White stems are the classic i12 look, and the SP99 pairs that look with soft silicone tips that seal into the ear. The seal gives the large drivers a firmer bass and blocks more street noise than an open bud would.

The SP99 at a glance:

  • Bluetooth 5.4. Automatic pairing, a range of up to 15 metres and low latency for videos.
  • 14.2mm composite drivers. Low-distortion drivers with a built-in high-resolution decoder, by the maker's description.
  • ENC call mics. Background noise gets trimmed from your voice.
  • IPX7 and dustproof. A light nano-coating covers sweat, rain and dust.
  • LED readout. Case and bud charge shown as numbers.

On paper, the SP99 shares its full spec sheet with the Btootos A90 Pro: the same drivers, the same 36-hour total, the same Bluetooth 5.4 and AAC support. The SP99 is the white take on that recipe.

A white case shows pocket lint and scuffs faster than black. A quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps it looking new, and a soft pouch keeps the LED window clear.

The case measures about 2.5 × 1.1 × 2 inches and weighs 2.4 ounces, small enough for a coin pocket. For more on finishes that stay clean, the colors guide compares white, black and pastel cases.

A 14.2mm driver in each SP99 bud, with AAC for iPhone

Driver size shapes how much bass an earbud can move, and 14.2mm is at the top end for stem earbuds. The SP99 uses one per bud, with a composite diaphragm designed to keep distortion low when the volume goes up.

Codec support decides how the sound travels from your phone. The SP99 handles both of the common ones:

CodecWho uses itWhat it means
AACiPhone, iPad, MacApple's preferred format, good quality at Bluetooth bitrates
SBCEvery Bluetooth deviceThe universal fallback for Android, laptops and TVs

The 32-ohm impedance and 101dB sensitivity mean a phone drives the SP99 comfortably, and a 60ms latency keeps video roughly in sync with the picture.

ENC microphones handle the call side. They focus on your voice and filter out wind, traffic and chatter, so the person on the other end hears you rather than the bus.

Days the SP99 suits well:

  • Commutes, with the tips sealing out engine hum.
  • Calls from busy streets and open offices.
  • Gym sessions and runs, with IPX7 covering sweat.
  • Films and shows on a phone or tablet.

There's no active noise cancelling. The silicone tips do the quieting passively, which works well for steady street noise and costs no extra battery. The better the tip fits, the quieter the world gets, so a few minutes spent trying sizes pays off in both bass and calm.

Taps on either stem play and pause, handle calls and wake your voice assistant. The full tap map sits on the touch controls cheat card.

Among the pairs

Where this pair lands

i12 TWS earbuds models by fit and case, September 2026. Highlighted: SP99 Earbuds.

Pair the SP99 once, then just open the lid

The SP99 pairs automatically after the first setup. Open the case, choose the SP99 in your phone's Bluetooth menu, and from then on it reconnects by itself each time the lid opens.

  1. Charge the case fully; USB-C fills it in about an hour.
  2. Open the lid and lift out both buds.
  3. Select the SP99 in the Bluetooth list on your iPhone, Android phone or laptop.
  4. Seat each bud with a small twist so the stem points toward your jaw.
  5. Play a song and check the bass; switch tip size if it sounds thin.

Detailed steps for every device live in the pairing guide. If one side stays silent, the left and right reset relinks the buds.

Battery works out to 6 to 8 hours per charge and up to 36 hours with the case. That covers a normal week of commuting and a few gym sessions between charges. Real hours dip at high volume and on long calls.

Care habits that keep the SP99 at its best:

  • Dry the buds after a workout before they go back in the case.
  • Clean the tips every week or two; wax dulls the sound fast.
  • Charge the case when the readout gets low rather than letting it hit zero.
  • Keep the case lid closed in bags so dust stays off the contacts.
IPX7 covers sweat and rain, not swimming. Keep the SP99 out of pools and showers, and let a damp case dry with the lid open before charging it.

The charging guide explains what to do if a bud stops filling up.

SP99 or the H69 and BESNOOW I53: pick by battery

Because the SP99 shares its specs with the Btootos A90 Pro, the real choice is between that recipe and pairs with more hours or extra features. Here's how the white SP99 compares.

Go for the SP99 when:

  • You want the 14.2mm, AAC, IPX7 recipe in white.
  • 36 hours with the case covers your week.
  • A small LED case suits your pocket.

The Btootos A90 Pro is the same recipe in black. The H69 Clear-Lid adds a see-through lid and up to 9 hours per charge, and the BESNOOW I53 stretches to 48 hours.

Confirm three things first:

  • You're happy with in-ear tips rather than an open fit.
  • Passive noise blocking is enough; there's no ANC.
  • A 1-year warranty meets your needs.

If you already know you'll wear the buds for long flights or full workdays, the extra hours of the H69 or I53 are worth a look. If you mostly listen in shorter stretches, a commute here, a workout there, the SP99's 36 hours will rarely run dry, and the white finish keeps the classic stem look.

All four pairs sit close together on specs, so the choice often comes down to color and case. Pick the finish you'll enjoy pulling out of your pocket every day, and the rest takes care of itself.
