Soundcoreby Anker, Soundcore Sport X10 True Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Workout HeadphonesClimatePartner certified

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.

I tried a couple of other (more expensive and more highly featured) ear buds, neither of which worked for my primary purpose: Wearing at the gym and while running. These Anker earbuds delivered! Had they been $150-$200 earbuds, I would rate them 4 stars. But at $75 regular pricing (and in fact got mine for $59 on sale), they are a FANTASTIC value and deserve 5 stars.I'll leave the details for other reviews, which are more in-depth. The bottom line for me is:The over-the-ear hooks are extremely comfortable and have an innovative design (they rotate one direction for storage in the case and rotate the other way for securing the buds while in use). The overall fit is quite good. Even if they loosen a bit with most strenuous exertion, you can feel confident that they won't come out.Sound quality is very good - better than I expected. A solid B+ and notable for this price point. Pretty good bass. The equalizer function on the app has a bunch of pre-sets plus allows you to customize.The Soundcore app complements these buds. I highly recommend you download it because one of the first things will be a firmware update that takes a few minutes. Thereafter, you can control features and see charge levels.Battery life has been good. I've been getting a solid 7 hours on one charge, maybe a little more. The case has good capacity. If you fully charge the case, you'll have at least 30 hours of power in total.Water resistance level is high on these relative to most ear buds, at IPX7. You can wear these in the rain and in theory, even submerge them in water. I wouldn't try it but I feel that these will definitely handle sweat and splashes.The only downsides of these buds are: I prefer to use the controls on the app, rather than the little buttons on the top of the earbuds, because there is no voice feedback. I like other earbuds that confirm when you have made a change, for example, "Noise reduction on" or "Talk through mode enabled." These don't do that. Also, as to noise reduction, it's not as good as a couple of other earbuds I've tried, such as Bose and JBL. I would describe the noise cancellation as moderate.All things considered, if you are specifically looking for a sports earbud that will stay put and can handle the elements, these should be considered. I've always liked Anker products - their battery chargers, adapters, wireless keyboards, and other peripherals are consistently great. Well, they did an excellent job with these earbuds. While not a "top tier" set of Bluetooth earbuds, they provide a great value for the price.

I have tried a lot headphones to wear during cycling (one ear only) and these are the best so far as the hook really helps them stay in your ears. I have mostly Anker units and they all worked very well with long battery life. Great value for the money.The battery life on these is very good and the case allowing for recharge when not near a power source is a great feature and I can ride over 5 hours on a charge and 2 weeks without recharging the case. You have to press a tiny mechanical button to change songs or get to the assistant but have not had any issues except when wearing thick gloves. They are comfortable with the hook over my ear even with my sunglasses. Sound quality and volume level is just fine even on windy rides.I used these 4-5 times a week year round cycling in cold weather down to 10 deg F. and 98 deg F. in the summer. I contacted the customer service as they shipped with the song skip only on the left ear. I asked if I could change that and they quickly replied telling me to download the Soundcore app on my phone where I as able to change what the single and double clicks to for each ear piece. The app is useful for firmware updates and other things and you do NOT have to use the app once you setup everything. This is the #1 reason they are great for when you only want to wear one earpiece at time.Because they are very small they can be dropped especially when wearing my wool gloves. One time a small drop resulted in buzzing sound that cleared up with a reset for the right earpiece as I was only wearing the one. Last week the right one stopped working but the left one was still good. I tried everything but it would not power on or connect. I filled out a Warranty request on Ankers website submitting all the information (serial number is on the box, so save it) and they replied the same day with troubleshooting steps which I did again but then you can reply back stating nothing helped and they then shipped me a replacment set in 3 days. Fantastic service and I am happy to have my right ear working again.Anker could improve them by allowing more features for the clicks when using only 1 at a time. You have to chose between volume or track changes when only using one of them, you can not have both.They should work to make them more resisitant to drops and allowing a battery replacement so they don't go trash when battery stops working.
