Soundcoreby Anker Sport X10 True Wireless Bluetooth Sport Earbuds, Rotatable Over-Ear Hooks for Ultimate Comfort and Secure Fit, Deep Bass, IPX7 Waterproof, Sweatproof, Fast Charge, App, Gym, Running

This is my third pair of soundcore/anker headphones: Life Q35 for airplanes/trains/anytime I need real over-the-ear headphones; P40i for my day to day use at my desk and I WAS using them for working out, but they do fall out with movement; so I bought these Sport X10s. Needless to say, I LOVE this brand. Everyone complaining that they aren't loud enough needs to get their hearing checked: they are so loud that I usually only listen to them at about 30-40% volume - if that. And even then, they are loud. The sound is balanced, but if you want to change the balance, you can set a custom balance in the soundcore app, which is excellent. I have customized all three headsets in there. I think the people complaining about volume and balance (especially bass) don't know how to use the app. (The app also includes ambient noise and breathing exercises - enough that I might cancel my Calm app.)My only complaint is that these don't do wireless charging. My P40is do, so I assumed these would. In hindsight, it clearly says in the Amazon description that they do not. That seems like an oversight by anker.They stay in my ear amazingly, but are so compact. It's the beat of both worlds. These will live in my gym bag and the other headphones I have will resume their place in my regular purse for daily use.

After lots of research, I became a Soundcore fan with my Q45 headphones (comfy & great sound). I followed that up with the P3 earbuds (that won't stay in my ears). Lastly, the sport X10 over-the -ear.Sport X10 review (and it's not just for sporting enthusiasts)I read the reviews on the X10 and here are my thoughts.1. The fit is great. Complaints about how short the flexi-arm noodles are, that wrap around the ear, is silly. The shortness adds to the ease of hooking the ear. They work great and hold firm with comfort.2. Sound quality is excellent for me, an audiobook user. I can't imagine needing anything better. The little music I do listen to, the bass is strong, mids are clear and treble is mixed well.3. The ANC is OK. If anyone is writing that they struggle to hear while trying to mow the lawn, they are our future tinnitus research subjects. For God’s sake, go buy 3M Worktunes ear protection. ANC is not supposed to block out a lawnmower.The real test for ANC is on an airplane, and no earbuds will block out all the noise on a plane. Here, get a cheap plug-in Bose headset with ANC for travel (nothing better for the cost).But these do a moderately good job at cancelling basic background noise.4. Volume is OK. I listen at around 80% most the time. If you're looking for head banging sound, I'd look for something different. The volume is quite good, but not great.Note, your future ears will thank you for controlled listening while you're young.5. Does it actually stay in your ear? Well, I am not a mutant with odd shaped ears, but I've tried every rubber size nib for my other ear buds, and I can't find any to stay in my ears. I'm constantly either pushing them back in or catching them before they hit the ground. But the X10, with the wrap around noodle, is just the touch I needed. I rarely even have to reseat the bud into the ear. They just stay in place. Amazing for sure...6. Controls... I like the buttons on the top of the buds. I don't like the touch sensitive side controls on other buds. So frustrating to touching the buds to reset them in your ear, only to have it skip a chapter.The buttons are placed in a perfect location as to not have accidental push, while still easily found.7. The APP is a game changer for Anker. I love the app control on all of my devices (same APP for all my devices, just pick a device and control it). It's simple to use and not cluttered with nonsense. Configure what you want each of the buds buttons to do, i.e. volume, ANC, play/pause, etc. This is a stand-out feature of these buds.8. The case is kinda cool too. I like the front button that opens the case. No 2 handed finger nail grab trying to pry open a case. It's a 1 handed operation. However, I can't yet place the buds in my ears with 1 hand, but practice should get me there.I like the 3 LED battery status lights on the front of the case. I don't need a graph or digital % remaining battery indicator to tell me that it's been a week or more since I last charged my case and should probably think about doing it soon.9. Batteries... I've listened to 20 hours+ of "my stories" in the 10 days I've had the X10s. I don't know how long they last since the buds recharge every time I put them in the case, so I have never run out of battery in the buds. The battery in the case seems to last forever, too. I've not charged the case yet, and still 2 lights.10. Would I recommend these? Answer is most certainly. I love the fit, sound, controls, APP, quality and COST. Can I find any single feature that is better in another set of buds, probably,,, but can I find all features better in other buds,,, doubt it,, short of spending a bloody fortune? These are the features most important to me, and probably most others. So, I got my cake & can eat it too.Summary, reading other reviews, I can only think that complainers complain. These are stellar buds and Anker should hire me to promote their products. Big fan... so far...

I've had these earbuds for about a year now and I've really enjoyed most of my experience with them.Pros:I specifically got these for their waterproof rating because I wanted to listen to music while showering and not disturb my roommates by using a speaker. I shower with these in fairly often, and the waterproofing has held up well during that time. Even when I accidentally broke one of the buttons off (definitely not a defect, I got my nail hooked underneath it and pulled too hard haha) the waterproofing has held up great and I've had no issues with continuing to shower with them in.The audio quality is also really good compared to a lot of other earbuds I've had, both wired and wireless. The bass is nothing to sneeze at, but music, podcasts, and shows all come through loud and clear. I can hear a lot of nuances to songs and soundtracks that I can barely hear with other earbuds, which has been a really cool thing to have with these earbuds.I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these earbuds are. The hooks are very gentle over my ears, and I'm able to leave them in for hours on end (which has not been the norm with other earbuds, they start to hurt my ears after 2 or three hours. On slow weekends at home, I've left them in almost all day and had little discomfort).In addition to the good quality, they look pretty sleek too! I find the finish on the earbuds to be a nice touch, and the hooks aren't intrusive. They're pretty low key which I appreciate, as I don't often like the presence that over-ear or on-ear headphones come with.Cons:Most of these cons are relatively minor things, but also things which some people might take a bigger issue with.The noise cancelling isn't great. I can still hear most things going on around me when I wear them normally, and with the noise cancelling on it only blocks out some of the deeper sounds. Normally I'd be fine with this, but any sort of tapping or short noises seem to sound louder with the noise cancelling on, so I typically just leave it off.Button controls have been frustrating for me as well. Each earbud has one button on the side, with one side raising volume and the other lowering it. Otherwise, only one side can pause when using both earbuds and the other skips ahead once. If I click too slowly to skip, I end up decreasing my volume by a moderate amount, or if I skip too far ahead I have to dig my phone out to navigate backwards. Once again, nothing that breaks the experience, but slightly annoying and I feel like the button controls could have been more intuitive.My biggest issue is the magnet holding the lid in place. If the case falls for any reason, the earbuds go flying. Because there is nothing securing the lid other than a magnet, it's been immensely frustrating to me when I've lost one—if not both—of these earbuds several times because of this weak magnet, not to mention the times I had to clean them because they fell into a patch of dirt outside.Connectivity is my only other minor complaint. When I connect to one of my various devices, the sound cuts out for a moment whenever I start any audio, even if it's been several minutes. My Duolingo practice is the biggest proponent of this, where sometimes I will only hear the last half of a listening exercise at first, and several times in a row at that. Otherwise it isn't too frustrating, as it typically doesn't cut out again after the initial error.It also frustrates me that I can't connect to multiple devices at once, as many other low-quality Bluetooth headphones I've had can connect to two devices at once, but it isn't a deal breaker. They stay connected for long periods of time otherwise.Conclusion:In my experiences with them over the past year, the Soundcore Sport X10 has fabulous audio quality and amazing waterproofing, with comfort lasting for hours. In addition to the case not keeping the earbuds from falling out, there are a few minor things that I didn't like. Otherwise, I think these are a great choice for sports use, working out, or staying at home! I'll certainly be continuing to use these earbuds for a while yet.
