Soundcore Sport X20 by Anker, True-Wireless Workout Earbuds, Rotatable & Extendable Ear Hooks, Noise Cancelling, Deep Bass, IP68 Waterproof, Sweatproof, 48H Play, Sport Earbuds for Gym

Been using them for a couple weeks, very comfortable and stay in place, they extend and twist which is a bonus, the sound is remarkably good for the price you pay, good bass, good volume too, I sweat a lot when i do a two hour session at the gym and so far no problems or issues whatsoever, I’ve had much more expensive EarPods before but with the sweat they lasted a week if that, so far extremely pleased with these , super simple to set up and they have an app with a graphic equaliser if you prefer to do things manually, I didn’t use it factory settings were exactly how I like to listen to my training music 👍

★★★★★ Excellent running earbuds after more than a year of use I’ve been using the Soundcore Sport X20 earbuds for over a year, mainly for running and walking, and they’ve been outstanding. During that time, I’ve covered hundreds of kilometres wearing them, and they’ve never let me down. The adjustable ear hooks made it easy for me to find a secure, comfortable fit. I can’t say they’ll fit everyone equally well, but for me they’ve been excellent. I’ve never had an issue with them moving or falling out, even during long runs. Before buying, I read a lot of reviews and found very few complaints. After more than a year of use, I can honestly say they’ve lived up to the positive feedback. The sound quality is very good, especially for earbuds in this price range (around €80). I found an EQ preset on YouTube and copied the settings, which made them sound even better. Sound is subjective, but I’m very happy with how they perform. I’ve never tested the maximum battery life because I’ve never managed to drain them in a single session. I’ve completed many runs of over 25 km (more than two hours), and they’ve never run out of battery. They’ve also proven to be very durable. I’ve used them regularly in the rain and through plenty of sweaty runs without a single issue. The charging case fits comfortably in both the back pocket and the side leg pocket of my running shorts, making it easy to carry on longer runs. Overall, these earbuds have been reliable, comfortable, and excellent value for money. Based on my experience, I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for dependable earbuds for running or walking.

Impressive sound quality and bass considering the price category these earbuds are in. The noise cancelling is pretty good as well. The grip is decent and they've never fell out of my years, but it's not as good as I expected from earbuds with hooks - it feels like the hooks are only there to stop them falling from your ears, not to keep them tightly in place, so from time to time I feel the need to press them in slightly to improve the seal, and the silicone eartips are the only thing that keeps these IN your ear. Nonetheless, the silicone eartips can withstand sweat pretty well, and therefore the grip is better than ordinary music earbuds would offer, and definitely more usable in the gym. They also have only 1 physical button each, that may limit what you do with them even if configured to your likeness. I've been told that the call quality is very good when I was using them, although they were picking up all the noises around me so there was hardly any separation from my voice and any other voices from a few meters around me, need more testing on that though. For the price - they are a great all-rounder, and I did find myself using them on commuting more often than my premium Master&Dynamic earbuds lately.

Fantastic earbuds. I'm impressed by the noise cancelling for the price especially. I've tried top names and due to them not staying in the ear .... .these are fantastic. The ear tip sizing is great too. Music and audio books sound good. I used them to the gym for the first time today, so yes you can still hear odd sounds when no music is playing but the high pitched tones are gone. I'm really impressed with these. They stay in my ear too They are touch button control which works out fantastic for the gym. When my arm would touch my ear with other types....it would change the music etc. These however do not. Wahoo. Fantastic. No wind noise either. This is easy to switch on via the app. All of this from one day using them.

Rarely do I feel the desire to provide a review on the items I purchase. They are either domestic items that don’t warrant it or on the most part I buy stuff use it for a bit and then realise I probably didn’t need it in the first place and it lies dormant until I either happen across it or suddenly wonder where it is and start turning the house upside down. This is very much not the case with these. To say I am impressed is an understatement. I own several pairs of ear / headphones from several of the big hitters, and virtually every generation of the little white ones.. I’m not sure I can actually put brands on here. And they are all great and serve a purpose, but they are also rather expensive. Now I was looking for a set of earbuds purely to go running in and go to the gym. To put things into context I’m 105 KG’s and the image of me running is not a pretty one, I sweat a lot and cause a small earthquake in my immediate vicinity. For this reason I am reluctant to wear headphones or the several hundred pound offering from those white ones as if the elements don’t kill them the sweat won’t make them particularly attractive. Now this purchase was not a fluke I did my homework and these got great reviews, however for the price my expectation was not high.. how wrong was I.. it arrived in classy packaging that did inspire confidence as to the potential quality of the items protected inside. I am an iPhone user and out of the box these linked seamlessly and immediately, something that these have continued to do several months on.. no faffing whatsoever. I can be linked on Bluetooth to any number of devises and on taking these out of the box connection is instant. As far as fit is concerned, having never really used the hook style before, they are secure and the sound remains immersive and plugged in. As I said I’m no ballerina and on an hours run I may find I need to give them a reassuring nudge maybe once or twice. This is only to create the seal as there is no way these are falling off your ears. Despite the grip these are super comfy and really I don’t even notice the hooks. Certainly no irritation or soreness. As far as reliability and build quality… I am amazed. Like I said I’ve had these several months now and use them four to five times a week. Through the winter I have been absolutely soaked, or had these under my hat, which could be wronged out with sweat after the run.. I said it was not attractive. But a quick wipe when I was finished with some kitchen towel and straight back in the box and these have remained as reliable as day one. They hold a charge forever and the box keeps them going for several consecutive days. Now I’m not an expert, I can’t say I really know what I’m listening for but I do know what motivates me to drag myself to train and these do just that. Plenty of bass, very immersive and loud enough to stop me thinking how tired I am. I have an eclectic range of music taste from garage to old school school hip hop to techno, to heavy rock and they all sound good. My only critique, which is more so user error and due to the fact I hadn’t really read the instructions, that the function button to pause play etc can be tricky to find in a rush. Again this more so due to the fact that I rarely need to use it.. and that is it. I have otherwise been incredibly impressed everywhere else. Well done Soundcore I love these, and genuinely am over the moon with these to anyone. I guess I should say I’m not getting anything for free for this I just think give praise where praise is due..

I am a big fan of Soundcore, I have an old pair of Souncore A3i's which have served me wonderfully, fully reliable, batteries still good and the genuine noise cancelling made watching movies on my tablet on noisy planes was enjoyable without having to use sweaty over ear types. But they are easy to fall out and drop and have rolled down the plane a couple of times, a real pain if the seatbelt light is on! So seeing these Sport X20 on offer I had to get them. Very similar to my A3i but with the ear hooks means they are fully secure and will not fall off. Comfort is great, I have large ears so appreciated the supply of alternative tips, I needed to fit the largest for a secure fit. The hooks are ultra soft and can be adjusted by length a little to fit. Sound quality is superb although I just updated the app and its rubbish now! it used to have a wealth of audio features and tweaks, it could even test your hearing to create a custom equaliser, it does virtually nothing now but is full of AI nonsense and advertising for its product. They should scrap it and go back to pre V5 version. At first I wasn't sure how well the noise cancelling was working as I was testing in a room with a TV on. So I tested it back to back to my A3i and they are exactly the same level. I am happy with it, buds can only do so much I guess, but I am sort of disappointed that these ones which are years newer, technology hasn't been able to further the ANC performance over the years. Once a bit of sound is underway, the ANC keeps even quieter bits hearable, even if not in silence, enough so you can still follow the movie dialogue. Volume is perfectly adequate and can go higher (with software boost on) than I am comfortable with. Sound is broad with richness and some actual base. The case is fine, although no power display, you can see the case and individual buds charge levels in the app. Not quite jeans pocket size but easy to carry, ear loop headphones sort of limit how small a case can be. I am loving that these now come in Green, more a trendy Sage which is super popular now. Hopefully they will give same years of happy listening.

2 stars might be harsh, but it just shows my frustration after paying £70. I used to use a £18 earphone before this one so Im going to compare it to that one First the pros - its very comfy even for hours. The cheap one I had before wasnt very comfy - It hasn’t fallen out once not like the cheap one. I used both for the same things: while cleaning the house, treadmill, machine weight lift, boxing and general use - ANC is pretty good (cheap one didnt have ANC), however its not very consistent. IT goes away while walking on the street. It could be a safety feature, however its so inconsistent, it feels like more of a fault. - Case is sturdy - Option for transparency mode Now the cons - App is almost useless; even though it shows I still have 2 bars charge in the case, its actually all depleted. Sometimes it doesnt recognise one of the earphone peace. More times than not, I cant switch between modes (ANC, normal or transparency) - ANC sometimes off giving me a pressure-like feeling. However it might be just me, and not the fault of the earphones. But just to note; dont have this problem with beats fit plus. - Case is not very good at this price. It doesnt always charge the ear peaces, and many times it takes ages to charge the case itself. I leave it charging for hours and when I want to use it, the case is charged, but it didnt charge the earphones. Or just charges one… The light indicator is red when you are out of charge, but the app still shows as half or fully charged. My cheap one even had a % indicator for each ear-peace and the case itself. never had issues with charging - You cant switch off the ear peaces unless you put them in the case. There is an option in the app to auto turn off if not in use, but it never worked for me. Even when disconnecting it from bluetooth. Never had this issue with my cheap one - Connection issues are horrendous. Make sure the case is with you at ALL TIMES as if one of the ear peace disconnects, you need to put them back and take them out if the case. sometimes a few times. Never had this issue with my cheap one. - Control buttons are in an awkward place. I set up one of left side for volume control (1 click for up, double for down). 80% of the time it registers 2 clicks as 1. Again… no issue with my cheap one - I also use it sometimes to listen to TV (we have a toddler we dont want to wake up with TV). For some reason the sound delay is huge. A few sec. It gies back to normal, but then again the delay is there. Havent had this issue with my cheap one All in all, its not worth the price, especially when comparing to a £18 cheap one

Too long, didn’t read: good = secure in ear, good battery life. Bad = Noise cancelling isn’t very good, bleeding sound is a problem. I’ve used these for a couple of weeks now and there are some definite benefits to these headphones. I bought them to replace some older “wireless” headphones (two wireless headphones connected by a wire which looped over the ear) that I used for exercise. Given they are mostly for exercise, I wanted the security of headphones which went over my ear rather than being just in-ear, but also were wireless and noise cancelling. These headphones are definitely secure and don’t move in my ear at all. The battery life in these headphones is fantastic. I’ve not had to charge them since I charged them when I received them, and I’ve used them most days for commuting on the train as well as for exercise. However, there are some definite issues. First of all, the noise cancelling on these is not good at all. There are a number of options for amending the bass/treble etc through the app, with even an option to have the app find the perfect sound for you. However, none of these options seems capable of blocking out the sound of others on the train or the train announcements. This is despite my volume being around 3/4 of the max it could be. This is disappointing, as I have a pair of soundcore q30 over-ear headphones which block out everything! I was hoping for a similar level of noise-cancelling with these, but it appears almost non-existent, despite having an “adaptive” noise cancelling setting for noisy environments. I could turn up the volume to overcome some of these issues, but then this leads to another problem - sound bleeding. Beyond 3/4 level then the sound bleeds to others. This isn’t a problem in a place like the gym, but on a busy commuter train, it is less than ideal. These headphones are also not that comfortable, with them becoming a little uncomfortable after about 30 minutes. I’ve tried the different sized buds shipped with the product, but these make no difference. In fact, I’d go as far as to say the buds shipped with the product have a cheap feel about them and are probably the reasons for lack of comfort. I even tried the buds from a couple of my old wired headphones, but these seemed unable to stay on! In short, these headphones are ok. I got them for the gym/exercising and they are fine for this. For commuting/everyday wear I would say that I had envisaged me being able to use them instead of my overear q30s to save on space, but they just aren’t good enough for that. I got these on a prime deal, so paid £40 for them, which means I’m not too upset about the issues and will just keep them in my gym bag. Had I paid £80+ for them, I definitely would have been unhappy. This is such a shame as I own a few other anker soundcore products and have only ever had good things to say. I think they’ve missed the mark with these.

Auriculares de muy buena calidad y con un sonido excelente. Los graves son contundentes y la cancelación de ruido funciona realmente bien. También cuenta con modo transparencia y reducción del ruido del viento, algo muy útil cuando estás en exteriores. El micrófono se escucha muy bien durante las llamadas y la voz llega clara a la otra persona. Lo que más me ha gustado es la comodidad. Puedes llevarlos puestos durante horas sin molestias y, gracias a sus ganchos de goma suave y ajustables, se sujetan perfectamente y no se caen incluso con movimiento. Como único punto a mejorar, echo en falta que el estuche de carga tuviera algún pequeño orificio o sistema para poder colgarlo, por ejemplo, de una mochila o llavero. En general, unos auriculares muy completos, cómodos y con una excelente calidad de sonido.

I think one of the best earbuds to wear during exercises n aerobics and music listeners ofcourse. Good vocals,base n treble and super comfortable.

Teruggestuurd. Bleef niet in oor zitten. Bovendien hinderlijk getu9s van wind tijdens het fietsen.

La perfection pour des écouteurs définitifs pour tout. La qualité du son est excellente, rien à envier aux marques plus chères, idéal pour le sport, l'utilisation quotidienne et les appels. Avec l'application c'est un régal de fonctionnalités. Je recommande.

Una piacevole sorpresa queste Soundcore. Comprate per sostituire delle Xiaomi Readmi Earbuds Pro 6 avendo la necessità di avere una cuffia in-ear con cancellazione del rumore ma più stabile nell'orecchio specie per l'utilizzo in mobilità. Dopo vari tentativi, una JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 e una JBL Endurance Peak 3, ho deciso di provare queste Soundcore (di fatto un brand che fa capo ad Anker) che rientra nella stessa fascia di prezzo, giusto qualche euro meno delle altre. La prima cosa che salta all'occhio è la compattezza del tutto, già la confezione si presenta la metà delle concorrenti ma non come dotazione, cradle, cavo e un set di ben 5 gommini che va dalla XS alla XL (contro i soliti 3 della concorrenza). Il cradle è una sorpresa, le dimensioni sono paragonabili a quelle di auricolari in-ear non sport (circa 6x6x2 cm) quindi assolutamente comode da infilare in tasca. L'apertura non è affidata a un fermo magnetico, come in tanti altri modelli, ma a un comodo tasto nella parte frontale che la apre a scatto. Lo stesso tasto presenta il LED multifunzione con l'indicazione della carica e per le indicazioni dell'attivazione del pairing. E' comunque presente un fermo magnetico degli auricolari all'interno del cradle che le tiene in sede per la ricarica, è veramente difficile che aprendolo vi possano cadere accidentalmente. Le cuffie hanno un design che si discosta dalle altre, non per niente vantano un Red Dot Award, l'auricolare è compatto e gli archetti sono in gomma morbida di modeste dimensioni. Il vero plus sono proprio gli archetti, per come è stato realizzato il design è possibile estenderli di 4 mm e ruotarli sul proprio asse di 30°. Non trovare una posizione comoda è praticamente impossibile, di fatto si adattano anche se doveste avere orecchie molto diverse! In più la morbidezza degli archetti permette di adattarli al retro dell'orecchio con semplicità, anche indossarle è veramente rapido e una volta messe si ha una buona sensazione di stabilità. Unico dubbio è se la morbidezza del materiale dell'archetto può incidere sulla sua durabilità. Un po' di perplessità sul sistema di interazione che non è affidato a un sistema touch ma a due tasti posti sul bordo dell'auricolare. Se da una parte evita di dare tocchi accidentali, ad esempio andando a "spingere" la cuffia nell'orecchio, dall'altra sta in una posizione poco intuitiva. Le prime volte dovrete togliere la cuffia per capire dove è il tasto, una volta capito faticherete un po' a premerlo perché forse non proprio nel punto migliore e di dimensioni ridotte. Probabilmente nello stesso punto un sistema touch sarebbe stato perfetto. Comunque risponde in maniera efficace non confondendo tra pressione singola, doppia o prolungata. L'app è veramente ricca di funzioni, è organizzata in 5 diverse sezioni: 1- gestione del dispositivo connesso Veramente completa, permette la gestione delle modalità: - ANC, sia in modalità adattiva che regolabile manualmente - Normale - Trasparenza, in modalità completa o solo vocale Impostazione per la riduzione del rumore del vento, impostazione degli effetti sonori, tra cui Surround 3D e equalizzazione tra varie preimpostazioni e customizzazione. Tra queste è interessante la HearID che costruisce una curva sulla base di un test di ascolto. C'è la gestione dei comandi in autonomia per ciascun auricolare, spaziando tra quelle dedicate alle chiamate (rispondi, riaggancia, rifiuta) a quelle dedicate alla riproduzione musicale (play/stop, next/previous, regolazione del volume), quelle per la gestione dell'ANC (dovete decidere 2 delle 3 modalità da avere in alternanza) e l'attivazione dell'assistente vocale. Un plus è una sezione per il training del respiro... da capire l'efficacia ma è un'aggiunta simpatica. Dall'impostazioni si possono eseguire - prove di adattamento all'orecchio, che vi da un'idea se con l'ANC attivato effettivamente la cuffia vi isola; - abilitazione di connessioni multiple; - tempo di spegnimento automatico; - ricerca del dispositivo; - miniguida (inutile) per indossarle; - widget di gestione; - aggiornamento del firmware e nome del dispositivo. 2-Soundspace Dedicata all'ascolto di rumori bianchi e ambientali (preimpostati e modificabili), di fatto un altro plus simpatico che permette di impostare dei suoni rilassanti secondo dei temi specifici o di crearli da zero, 3-Scopri Da info di carattere social e di utilizzo relativi al dispositivo Più che altro un modo per fare un po' di pubblicità a altri prodotti 4-Account e sistema Impostazioni dell'app, dell'account e help online Per ultima ho tenuto l'elemento che mettono al centro dell'app, un sistema AI, chiamato Anka, che sulla carta dovrebbe permettere la traduzione in realtime della chiamata (in versione di prova per 30 giorni) e la traduzione realtime ma faccia a faccia. Queste due saranno da provare perché sono una vera sorpresa e se efficaci potrebbero essere veramente un plus rispetto ai concorrenti. Unica nota stonata, ma è un caso particolare, non troverete l'app su store diversi da quello di Google e di Apple, quindi su dispositivi che si affidano a terzi (vedi Huawei) dovrete smaneggiare un po' per trovare l'apk e installarla. Il sistema permette il collegamento a diversi dispositivi e il multipoint, in quest'ultimo caso il pairing dei dispositivi successivi al primo è molto semplice dovendo solo tenere premuto il tasto di apertura per circa 3 secondi e attendere che lampeggi il LED. Lo switch da un dispositivo all'altro è assolutamente semplice, se siete in ascolto sul dispositivo A e vi arriva una chiamata sul B basta rispondere e il passaggio al dispositivo B sarà automatico mettendo in attesa A. Al termine della chiamata riaggancerà automaticamente il dispositivo A. Il tutto funziona bene anche su dispositivi non Android anche se con qualche piccola pecca, ad esempio collegate a un lettore musicale HiRes l'attivazione di una qualche funzione audio su un secondo dispositivo mette in pausa il lettore ma alla chiusura dell'audio la riproduzione non riparte in automatico. Dal punto di vista audio niente da eccepire, staccano tranquillamente le JBL sul fronte della definizione sia sui bassi, profondi, e sulle medie-alte che risultano ben intellegibili. La modalità di cancellazione del rumore è veramente efficiente e già si sente la differenza solo indossandole anche senza avere l'audio in funzione. L'attivazione del surround si fa veramente sentire, l'ascolto della musica in questa modalità è un piacere e da veramente una spazialità extra. Le equalizzazioni sono efficaci e in particolare la HearID restituisce un suono ben bilanciato. In definitiva sono un sistema da un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
