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

★★★★★ 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.

Having previously had normal earphones that kept falling out, I decided to invest in these ones. I wasn’t expecting much for the price, but I was pleasantly surprised. Let me start by saying they deliver premium sound and a solid build at an affordable price. The extra cost was well worth it. I had to be patient at first because I’m not used to wearing anything like this. Once I adjusted the arms and set them to my liking, they became amazing. They don’t fall out as often as my old ones and the sound is brilliant whether I’m listening to music or watching media. There’s no distortion and the bass is great. I use them at work so I can easily adjust them to hear others around me or block out the world. I also appreciate the little button on the top for controls and that it’s not touch-sensitive. This prevents accidental activation if I need to press it a little further into my ear. They also come with different sizes of ear buds. Overall, I highly recommend these earphones for anyone on a budget. They’re premium at a cheap price and don’t fall out. They’re also great if you wear glasses because they don’t interfere with the arm.

Exactly what you want from earbuds, solid bass led sound, exciting delivery, with the option to let the outside world in or exclude it altogether and they stay on your head. Arrived fully charged up out of the case. Easy to put on and with a range of ear bud sizes. Find and download the app. This lets you eq them, even giving you a hearing test to suggest your ideal setting, was not quite right for me. The sound without eq is too booming bass and not enough treble, the opposite of open the backed headphones that i am used to, a refreshing change. So after eqing out the bass and upping the treble, these sound excellent. The app also allows you to choose between noise cancellation or normal or transparency mode. Normally i choose the transparency mode as it is like using open back headphone except the sound is not leaking out to everyone around. I bought these as my son is home in the next room studying for exams so ideal for sound containment, also will try these on ten hour flight soon, will report on effectiveness. Using these with an ipad or an iphone, with the ipad they work up to about ten meters through walls. But best with the portability of an iphone. Battery life seems fine, paired them up to the bluetooth on the tv last night, excellent quality with volume control from the tv. I mainly chose these because they had excellent reviews but mainly because they hook over the ear so give excellent stability. I have big earholes and find regular earbuds fall out, tried my son’s Sony wm5s and the wifes Apple pros but these sound flat and dull in comparison and kept falling out. But these with a range of earbud covers and the over ear hooks fit securely. The other hook types available are the over ear type, but these tend to give variable sound quality as the gap between the ear piece and the ear varies and so bass and clarity often suffers. By pushing the earbud, sealed into the ear gives a constant, predictable environment from which to adjust the sound. I was prepared to spend up to £300 but could not find any other better quality earbud that was an over ear hook type with in ear bud not over ear and noise cancelling. So for the price these represent excellent value. My only criticism would be finding the buttons on the ear buds can be fiddly which is a nuisance and the app has a functioning error, when choosing what the buttons do, if you choose ambient sound option it is difficult to hit the back button to return to the menu. They feel solid enough for this price point and the ear hooks are flexible enough to work with glasses. Would definitely recommend and although i am not into gratuitous exercise i am sure these would be excellent for all those gym bunnies, before you mature to the delights of sofa based activities, for which these are also sublime.

I was looking for an alternative to my Airpod Pro's for use in the gym as I didn't want to ruin my Airpods with sweat and I just find that the Airpods have a tendency to occasionally drop out of my ear when i'm working out. So when looking for a pair of headphones they needed to be reasonably priced, they needed to be waterproof/sweatproof and they needed to be over the ear fitting. I've used quite a few products from Anker previously, so know that they make very good products. I was more than happy to take a chance on these headphones rather than paying half the price for a pair from a company i've never heard of before. There was also a 20% discount applied at the time of buying which brought the price down even further. After having used these a few times now I have been very happy with them. Most importantly they are easy to fit and stay in place when working out. I have zero worries that these could ever drop out during an activity. They are also comfortable and once on I forget that they are there. The included charging case is a bit cheap feeling because it is so light compared to the Airpod charging case. It is USB-C (no wireless charging, but I'm not fussed about that) but comes with a ridiculously small charging cable that they shouldn't have bothered including one as it'll never be used. They did come with about ¾ charge so you are able to use them straight away. They were easy to connect to my phone and the connection has been stable while using them. There is an app you can download which allows you to set the sound preferences to your liking and this works well and is easy to use. there is a single button on each earpiece and you can use the app to customise what feature this operates. I like to set the one earpeice so that with a single press of the button it plays/pauses and a double press of the button it skips to the next track. This is where these headphones lost a star for me, as the double press of the button only seems to work 50% of the time and I invariably find it pausing the track instead of skipping it. This isn't a deal breaker for me as I can just use my phone or watch to skip to the next track instead. Overall sound quality is ok, as is the noise cancelling for the price but will never replace a decent set of headphones for me. However for use whilst working out the quality is more than adequate and the noise cancelling does drown out the awful gym music well enough. I am happy with the headphones and would recommend them to others.

Started going to the gym and my experience with my old earbuds wasn't great. So I needed waterproof buds with an over-ear hook and preferably noise cancelling (best will in the world, my music tastes are somewhat different from those normally played in a gym so that isolation was needed). So I bought these, the Sport X20s in black which offered all that. Firstly, they come with different sizes of silicon earpiece so you can get a good fit in your ear canal and the don't pop out, even when getting a bit sweaty or doing vigorous exercise. The ear hooks really help with that. The battery life appears to be really good, though I've not had them on beyond a couple of hours at a time. Charging is really quick though. The active noise cancellation is surprisingly good (you can choose to have it active, not on at all or transparent, all done through the associated app) and means I can isolate nicely with my own tunes. The app itself can also adjust the EQ intelligently for your own ear requirements based on a simple to run through test followed by an a/b preference page. It works really well (I'd say do it twice so the first time is to get a feel of what to do, then second is how you want to hear your music). I'm a metalhead and whilst most buds don't accommodate for that (there's usually waaaay too much bass added for the electronic fans which muddies things for metal given how it is usually layered and mixed; a bit more complex sonically) the active EQ makes everything sit nicely with clarity. They really are excellent quality with great features, excellent fit and comfort, great sound quality and the app makes things easy for you to make the sound/noise cancellation features work for you. Great value too. Very much recommended.

First pair broke within first month of infrequent use. One side just stopped outputting sound, all the buttons worked on it and would change the settings, but no sound. Got tech support, no fixes worked. They sent a replacement, good customer service. Use the second pair when travelling on the train and occasionally on walks near busy roads. They dig my ear and make sores if worn for over an hour, as if the fit doesn't quite match me, and also there's some connectivity issue, if my hand blocks the reception or something. Annoying if my phone is in my pocket and my hands are cold too. I wouldn't buy these again, I'd try something else. Enjoy the colour immensely, the texture is nice, the case is nice, the connectivity is sometimes patchy. Battery life never had an issue with. Clarity could be better, but works for my purpose. Size should be fine but makes my earshell sore. Love the noise cancelling, it is such a relief. But the other issues don't outweigh when I can get the same function elsewhere with another brand. Can't compare to other brands at this time. Over all a good pair, but I don't think I'd go for them again with the soreness and the odd connectivity issues, and the fact the first pair just died immediately and are unrepairable. Flawed tech, that it can't be repaired when broken.

Bought for the gym. I have a pair of Google Pixel Buds Pro that I use for everyday listening but I bought these as I was getting my Pixel Buds a bit sweaty and wanted a pair of dedicated gym headphones. These seemed to fit the bill perfectly. They looked like they would stay in place during running and looked premium in the photos. However I was left very disappointed by these and unfortunately returned them after a few days. I did try to get on with them - I had downloaded the app and updated the firmware, set up my custom listening profile (that's supposed to optimise sound based on my listening preferences) and played about with the settings to try to get them to work to my liking. I'd also tried various ear tips to try and get a fit that worked but no such luck. Pros: - I really liked the green colour. - USB C - Loads of ear tips included. - They were really easy to set up and the app worked well, although some of the English text could do with reviewing. - There are lots of customisation options, including a custom EQ, wind noise reduction, Noise cancelling options, 3D sound (although in my experience this just boosted the bass to uncomfortable levels and not much else) - The ear hooks are great for reassuring you that they will not fly away if they become loose. - The noise cancellation is decent. No way is it excellent but there's a notable reduction in your standard gym background music and sounds. - Not that I got to test it, but the fact these are IP68 water resistant is reassuring. - Connectivity was good. Never lost signal and connected to my phone straight away when taken out the case. Cons: - The biggest negative is the fitment. These just would not stay in my ears. The hooks ensured they would not fly off anywhere; but, as for the actual ear tips, something about the design meant that the sound seal in my ear canal would not remain intact, and when this happens the noise cancellation fails and my music sounds flat. I then have to push them back in, only for them to come out again after a few seconds. - The sound quality isn't great. I'm no audiophile - as I said, my usual buds are Google Pixel Buds - but these don't sound great. The sound is flat and hollow and they try to overcompensate by turning the bass up to the max. However, for the gym, they're fine. I expected more for £90 though. - They feel cheap. They are very lightweight and... Click-clack-y (if that makes sense). The case is just as bad. I guess that, being meant for the gym, they thought they would make them light but I would personally prefer a little more weight, especially considering the ear hooks would ensure they don't fall out. - They're just too expensive. I would probably be happy if I had paid £40 for these but £90 is just very bad value for money. You'd be better going for the previous generation X10s as they are currently cheaper and I understand the fit is a bit better on 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..

Amazing quality! The build feels premium and durable, and the sound is excellent with clear, rich audio and also noise cancellation works well. They stay securely in my ears even while running or playing sports, and they’re very comfortable to wear for extended periods. Highly recommended as I was impressed

These are a great little pair of earbuds. I was looking for a pair that would stay in place while at the gym. Many reviews suggested products that are no longer available (like the Jabras) or very expensive ones like the Beats Pro. Then I came across some YouTube reviews that raved about the Sport X 20. For their price, these are fantastic. First thing I did was look up some recommended EQ settings. That makes a huge difference and they made my metalcore / rock playlists sound fantastic. I wore these on a trip into the city today. Had them in my ears for 5 hours with zero comfort or fatigue issues. Being able to change to 'transparency' on the app, meant I could talk to shop staff while keeping my buds in my ears. Highly recommended for their price for anyone who wants comfortable buds, that sound great, stay in place and are very competitively priced.

Good quality, excellent sound

I recently replaced my old over-ear gym headphones with these, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase! The ear hooks ("arms") keep them securely in place, even during vigorous workouts. The sound quality is top-notch—though it might be a bit bass-heavy for some tastes. A great bonus is the companion app, which lets you switch between modes. The noise cancellation works brilliantly, effectively blocking out ambient gym noise.
