by Anker, Soundcore Sport X10 True Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Workout Headphones

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 wanted to wait a full year to review this product. Just for some background, I used their other Soundcore products such as the Liberty Pro that my wife ended up with. I enjoyed the product so much that when it came to looking for more secure fit, good for heavy bouncing, I decided to try the X10. They priced this just right. Other labels that most are familiar with (Beats, Jaybird) all demand higher price tag and I thought maybe the sound quality and ANC is not as robust on the X10. Since my biggest thing was some sort of ANC and enough music to drown out the outside noise while working out or going for a run, I couldn't care less about the nuances of different sound spectrum others are good at picking out. My hearing is not as refined so unless you're grinding a fork across a blackboard, I wouldn't find many things discomforting. Fast forward 11 months (I bought this originally Jul/2022), I use this almost every week, either on my walk or runs (that I'm about to go on), or when I'm studying outside of the house. I make sure these are ready for me when I go to coffee shops and like, since there's tons of noise from people talking and other environmental noises that can be easily distracting. To give my review: Sound quality - 5/5 I compared this with the Liberty 3 Pro, and honestly I can't tell much of a difference. Maybe with equalizer it can change how the sound is produced, but I can't tell if one is better than the other marginally. I'm sure the parts used is premium in Liberty 3 Pro and there's a clear difference. I'm perfectly happy with the sound quality X10 produces. Noise canceling - 4/5 Noise canceling that I'm used to with Liberty 3 Pro is not the same in X10. Even though it cancels most, I can still tell it's due to muting the external sound and some stuff still gets in. But the difference isn't vast, and it serves me perfectly well when I'm studying at a loud coffee shop. Fit - 5/5 I'll be honest, I have a bias to my scoring due to how perfectly X10 fits my ears. I was always fan of these round the ear design where plastic half ring fits around your ear for better fit. The plastic rubber? piece isn't rigid so it conforms to my ears really well, I have yet to feel much discomfort when its fitted nicely. Just to advise, prolonged use of any earphones could cause irritation around the entrance of the ear canal, but this has been the same for me with every single ear buds I've had since grade school. Price - 5/5 At the time I purchased this product, it was 63.99 after promo sales (which Soundcore does a lot throughout the year). At this price, it was cheapest of other similar products sold by more popular brand names. I think if Soundcore continues to make amazing products at this price point, I think they'll have me as a loyal customer for a long time.

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.

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 do lots of dancing and calisthenics- and these never slip or fall out, even through all my jumping and spinning. And I’ve tiny ear canals. I can easily have them in for 5 hours and forget they’re in. Sound quality is pretty good for the price. It has an adjustable EQ but nothing crazy for low bass. Charge quickly. Only tiff is how cheap the case feels. I’m worried about breaking it- bit the headphones feel like good quality. The buttons on the headphones are tiny but I usually just change the song on my phone anyway.

I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but it's also not my first rodeo when it comes to sound quality. I own the Shure SE846's, I own Sennheiser 598/600/650's with a dedicated amp and dac. I also own the Sony WF-1000 XM4s and have owned the Jaybird Vistas, used the Jabra Elite 7 Pros, owned Samsung galaxy buds, tried the Shokz bone conduction headphones. You get the point. This isn't to brag about an extensive collection, moreso to at least lend some credence to my rating. I've been around the block when it comes to audio. Summary: These earbuds feel about right for what you're paying for. Which means what it means. You're going to get earbuds that stay in, can be abused, and have decent sound quality. They're nothing special as in it's not like you're getting a hell of a deal on sound quality or active noise cancelation, but, they're just fine. If I'm being honest, maybe slightly overpriced, feels like they should be about 5-10 dollars cheaper at around 60 dollar earbuds. If you're invested into sound quality, definitely look at earbuds in a higher price range. I wish I could recommend other earbuds in this price bracket but these are the only ones I've purchased around this price point. Do I regret my purchase? A little bit, but, once I've gotten into my workout I don't necessarily need the best of the best in sound quality, that's what I have my other headphones for. Audio: The audio is fine. It's bass heavy, but that's literally part of the item description. Messing with the EQ doesn't remove the muddiness of the sound. I'm more of a guy who enjoys pronounced mids and clear highs with crispy bass so these are definitely not my kind of ear bud. Yet, for the price, it's not bad. Not fantastic, but not bad. Build Quality: These feel kind of cheap for their price point. Not to the point where I'm scared to abuse them, more the case and and charging magnets. It feels like an after thought. Although I do enjoy the click open cover. I think if they had to skimp on quality to keep the price low they picked the best place to do it since you're not going to be listening to music with a case lol. The magnets do feel pretty weak like they might not create a proper connection if the earbuds aren't seated correctly, but not weak enough that it would be a frequent issue if ever. Maybe like a rare occurrence or something that would happen after a few years of owning these. Noise cancellation: It's pretty bad. If you're looking for ANC capable earbuds, you're not gonna find it at this price point. Feels like it's just added on in order to claim they have ANC since if you don't have that nowadays you're not competitive. So, on paper they have ANC, in reality you'll just be hearing external noises through a compressed mic if you're looking to only use the ANC function of these. In conjuction with music? To be honest, just keep the ANC off it'll save battery life and won't make a difference. The physical seal of the earbuds is good enough to where ANC isn't needed. The difference is laughable, they'd be better off not having added the feature, but I get it. Marketing.

I've bought a few different brands of bluetooth earbuds in the past, like JVC, Raycon, and a couple of others I can't remember the name of. I've always been a notorious earbud hater because it just seemed no brand, no type of earbud would fit and stay in my ears. Still, they always sort of fascinated me, and I did a bit of research on earbuds with hooks after discovering them. I was very tempted when I saw that these were made by Anker, which is a tech company I very much trust. I did resist buying them for a few months, but eventually took the plunge. For other earbuds, I always had a problem either with them falling out or making my ears sore after an hour or two. Not so with these. They're very compact, and I love that the hooks bend and fold into place. For earbuds that have hooks, that little detail makes these things way more adaptable. They stay on my ears no matter what I'm doing, whether I'm working out, walking, or just sitting around. They stay comfortable all day. I actually ran them out of battery the first time I used them, but the case has enough charge for around three sessions of continuous use. The audio quality is nothing to sneeze at, either, and I think they're the best of any other ear bud that I've tested. I like them so much that I had to buy two pairs, and I now have both black and ivory. They do have a bit of a strange compatibility issue with my Android 13 phone, though, that they don't experience on my older Android 7 phone. Both pairs of earbuds suffer this same problem with the newer device. They'll disconnect and reconnect themselves intermittently while I'm listening to anything, but not while idle. That wouldn't be a problem if it didn't also disconnect long enough to force pause whatever was running on my phone, but that combined with the fact that it could happen as often as every 5 minutes, it soon became an insanely irritating experience that there was seemingly no help for online. Even though I usually keep them exclusively paired to one device, this issue persisted. However, I eventually realized that the issue doesn't occur when first pairing them together, so my solution has been to tell my Android 13 phone to forget the earbuds after every session. It only takes a few extra seconds, and it seems to work flawlessly. It hasn't so far, but I just hope that doesn't cause any other problems in the future.

I've had this for right at one year, used almost daily for one to two hours a day. I've always used them while exercising, so they're constantly exposed to lots of sweat. They've held up mostly fine. Sound quality is good, pairing is easy, the app is nice (especially if you're already using other Soundcore devices). Battery life has always been fine. The charging contact on one of the headphones has started to wear down and charging is unreliable on it now. I chalk this up to the sweating and grime the units are constantly exposed to. I have to pay attention now and try a few times to ensure it starts charging. That's not great, but for the money and heavy use, I feel like I got value out of it. I'll eventually buy another pair when I catch these on sale.

Great product with a many pros and only a few cons. Pros: 1. Sound quality is great 2. Soundcore App allows me to customize sound via the equalizer. 3. Easy to put on the ears 4. Phone calls are clear and when i speak people hear me. 5. Case fits nicely in my pocket or gym hoodie. Cons: 1. If very windy then its difficult for people to hear me. 2. Case can get fingerprint smudges (easy to wipe off but i had to find more than 1 con) Overall an excellent buy for the price and quality. Soundcore is really picking up its game.

كويسة جدا حتي لو مش بتتشحن وايرلس بس الشحنة الواحدة بتقعد كتير جدا الصوت كويس جدا بس ممكن يبقي مش عالي اوي من غير ما تستخدم ال equaliser او ال noise cancellation ال noise cancellation ممتازة بس ممكن تجيب صداع لو مفيش حواليك دوشة ملهاش لازمة و انها مقاومة للمياه ده كويس جدا رحت بيها الجيم كذا مرة و احسن سماعة جبتها للجيم لحد دلوقتي و ثابتة مش بتقع

Nach enttäuschenden Erfahrungen mit den Adidas Z.N.E 01 haben wir uns für die Soundcore Sport X10 von Anker entschieden – und sie haben uns absolut überzeugt! Soundqualität, die begeistert Die Klangqualität dieser Kopfhörer ist hervorragend. Egal, ob bei intensiven Workouts oder entspannten Läufen – der Sound bleibt stets klar und kraftvoll. Perfekter Halt, selbst bei schnellen Bewegungen Dank des durchdachten Designs sitzen die Kopfhörer sicher im Ohr, ohne zu verrutschen. Besonders beim Laufen und sportlichen Aktivitäten ist das ein großer Pluspunkt. Stylisches und praktisches Ladecase Das Ladecase sieht nicht nur schick aus, sondern ist auch kompakt und einfach zu transportieren. Es ergänzt die Kopfhörer perfekt und wirkt sehr hochwertig. Extrem lange Laufzeit und schnelles Laden Die Akkulaufzeit ist beeindruckend. Selbst bei regelmäßiger Nutzung halten die Kopfhörer sehr lange durch. Und wenn der Akku mal leer ist, sind sie blitzschnell wieder einsatzbereit. Insgesamt bieten die Soundcore Sport X10 eine unschlagbare Kombination aus Preis, Leistung und Komfort. Absolut empfehlenswert – besonders für aktive Nutzer! 💪🎧

Die Sport X10 sind das dritte Soundcore Produkt in meiner Sammlung. Ich habe mit den P2 Mini fürs Büro angefangen und keine großen Erwartungen an ein vergleichsweise günstiges Produkt geknüpft. Aber Überraschung, besser als gedacht. Dann kam die Mini 3 dazu und wieder - Wow! Kleiner Preis, großer Klang, noch größerer Bass. Da lag es nah, auf der Suche nach Sportkopfhörern (die sicher halten) auch mal bei Soundcore zu schauen, und ich bin alles andere als enttäuscht. Mein Liebling ist eigentlich mein Teufel Over-Ear, der mittlerweile mit meinem Kopf verwachsen sein müsste, aber der ist für Sport schlicht zu warm. Die X10 klingen super und müssen sich definitiv nicht vor den weitaus hochpreisigeren Produkten verstecken. Saubere Höhen, satte Bässe. Mit der Soundcore App lässt sich der Klang dann noch mal nach Vorliebe anpassen. Diese bietet außerdem noch Atemübungen, und vermutlich mehr, aber soweit habe ich mir die App im Detail noch nicht angeschaut. ANC und Transparenz lassen sich auch per App einstellen. ANC ist gut, Nebengeräusche z.B. Laufband werden zuverlässig gefiltert. Es gibt vermutlich besser (besagte Over-Ears schon aufgrund der Bauform) aber schlecht sind die X10 im Vergleich keinesfalls. Transparenz wirkt auf den ersten Blick ok, ist für mich aber weniger relevant. Auch die Funktion der Tasten lässt sich über die App anpassen (laut/leise, weiter, zurück, Pause/Play). Zum Sitz: Wie angegossen. Meine Ohren sind scheinbar ziemlich mainstream, und die vorausgewählte Größe passt perfekt. Einmal am Ohr merkt man sie überhaupt nicht mehr. Schütteln, Hüpfen, über Kopf, Joggen ... kein Problem. Nix wackelt oder rutscht. Definitiv empfehlenswert! Für etwas über 50€ kann man hier nichts falsch machen und sie liegen mindestens gleich auf mit JBL und Samsung Buds (warum habe ich eigentlich so viele Kopfhörer?), wenn sie in Sachen Bass nicht sogar die Nase vorn haben. Soundcore hat mich jedenfalls voll überzeugt. Nicht mein letztes Produkt aus dem Hause Anker.

For me this Soundcore works way better than the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro for two reasons: 1) My ears are bigger and need bigger sealing rubbers, which these Soundcore earbuds come with. Because they fit better in my ear canal, the sound quality ends up being much better than the Samsung earbuds. 2) They have ear hooks, which keep them in my ears all the time no matter what. Great for running or exercising in the gym. If I only chew while wearing Samsung Buds Pro they pop out of my ears onto the floor. So annoying! One downside is when I'm running the ear hooks canalize the sweat right into my ears. Hahaha! But I guess that's my problem, not the ear buds. So I still give 5 stars to this Soundcore. Good value for the money.
