Sport X20 by Anker Noise Cancelling Workout Earbuds, Ear Hooks | Rotatable and Extendable Ear Hooks, Deep Bass, IP68 Waterproof, Sweatproof, Dustproof, 48H Playtime, Sport Earbuds for Gym

Over the past year, I have purchased 3 rather expensive earphone sets. The wife and I travel quite a bit, and I love nothing more than to put in my noise-cancelling earphones and fall asleep. Trouble is, that on 3 different trips, I awoke to find that one of them had come loose from my ear while I was asleep. No matter how hard I looked, I never found a single one. I was so fed up with losing one or both of my earphones that I was considering a full-size headset. I am so glad I found these delightful earphones instead. They are so light that you can't even feel the loop over your ear that holds them firmly in place. They are extremely easy to use, and while I utilize them mostly for music, I have on occasion used them for phone calls, which were crystal clear and simple to navigate. The noise-cancelling is top-notch, capable of removing loud airplane noises and even crying babies. The batteries seem to last for days, and the case has its own battery, which can charge both earphones from empty to full in 15-20 minutes. I love the color as they match my other Anker batteries and port extender. The material is both sturdy and comfortable, and I recently wore them for nearly 20 hours on a long flight with no discomfort at all. However, the best part was waking up to find that I still had both of them in my ears for once!

First of all, great sound quality. I love the noise cancelling function. It’s very effective. And the headphones are comfortable and won’t fall out when I workout. The headphones themselves are fantastic. The charger even seems to be water resistant. I messed up my charger and cleaned it off and it worked perfectly. Service is a 10/10 and the reason I wrote this review. 18 month warranty. You can’t beat it. The only down side of these is that there isn’t a way to attach a lanyard or keychain. I have to sue the regular soundcore headphones instead bc I need that keychain loop. I have a headphones on all my keychains so I’m never without headphones. I wish I could do that with these headphones, bc the sound quality is even better with these ones. I bought a third party silicone case to wrap around my headphone case, in order to have a keychain loop, but the silicone case didn’t stick to the device. So then I used glue, and that didn’t work at all. I’m so appreciative of the 18 month warranty bc I’m getting a replacement case now that I destroyed mine with glue attempting to improve the case. I never use these headphones bc I really really need the keychain loop. As a person with ADHD always losing my headphones, I now know if I don’t have a keychain, I don’t have headphones. Still glad to own these for when I really need my headphones to stay in place or really need noise cancellation.

I am an everyday user so I go through earbuds fairly regularly. At one point I bought 4 different pairs of earbuds from different manufacturers all in the $60 -$120 range to test b/c i refuse to spend $300 on a set of earbuds that will only last me a year (been there, done that). After testing all the different earbuds, these have been my favorite type because of the over the ear design (doesn't fall out w/ sweat/sports) and I can wear either one and still get clear sound. When on phone calls, the noise canceling feature works well at least for the first several month and seems better when both ear buds are in. There are also some other nice features that come with it but honestly, after the initial set up, the setting typically stay the same. Overall, my last set lasted about 2 years (compared to 1 with most others) and I ordered another set for me and one for my mother. Battery life great, especially if you only use 1 at a time, I can go days without charging the case (usb-c charger to so i only need one for phone and buds). They work well with my samsung Galaxy phone, the case is extremely portable and doesnt create a huge bulge in my pocket when carrying. Overall very pleased with this product and would buy a 4th time if the need arises.

I bought these because the number of sport headphones with proper ear support is shrinking, and for those of us with large and odd shaped ears are affected the most by this. To put it simply, nothing will ever let Apple airpods, Google pixel buds, Samsung buds, Sennheisers, etc stay in our ears, because they are designed for the average ear shape. People like me do not have average ear shapes, and we are unable to enjoy experiences like others when putting these devices to use, especially in an exercise scenario. So when I spotted these with a promo price, I just had to give them a shot, as my Jaybirds do not last an hour anymore. Its been about a month and half since these were delivered and I definitely have some good but also mixed feelings about these. First all, the construction is great, the sound quality is unexceptional, the adjustment is adequate to fit many sizes, the app control is acceptable, and the sound modes are very impressive for the price these cost. Anker has come a long way with improving the noise cancellation on soundcore products, which is commendable. Now allow me to elaborate on where I have mixed feelings. Will these fall off your ears? Absolutely not. They stay hooked in place, and they will easily handle any shocks or disturbances. Sounds dandy, right? Well.. kind of. While these will not fall off your ears, they will certainly slide OUT of your ears slowly, breaking the seal and forcing you to reinsert them, only for them to slide out again. Im a heavy sweater, so its typical for sweat to dribble down the ear and surround any earbud I am using. This is where a standard earbud would simply fall off the ear and onto the floor. While these dont fall off, they dont solve the issue of sliding out of the ear canal, which may as well be as annoying as earbuds falling out of the ears. These are marketed and designed to be sport and fitness headphones, so the fact that Anker didnt include stickier silicone eartips is a little baffling to me, but whatever. I suppose Ill replace the eartips with spinfit eartips and see how they work. Not giving them a pass for this, because I feel this is something they missed on, but its not a total deal-breaker. Whats ALMOST a deal-breaker is the sound quality, especially when the different modes are used. Now I realize that I am probably not the target audience with the sound frequency curve, but my goodness, there is so much bass, it basically drowns out everything else. I suppose if you listen to techno, rap, edm its perfectly fine and dandy, but if you listen to metal, alternative, rock, then it trashes the music. The built in app eq does allow you to try and adjust the frequency curve, but the curve changes with the ambient sound mode used, so a setting used in standard mode will need another one for noise cancellation mode. All that said, I am still relatively pleased with these. They offer a compelling package that I believe will fit the criteria for the majority of people, all while not costing more than 100 dollars. If it was more than that, I wouldve been more more harsh, but because they aren't, Im willing to be more forgiving of its shortcomings, especially given that the market is saturated with earbuds that only fit those with average ear shapes.

I was having such bad connectivity issues (specifically where I was wearing them and suddenly they would unpair by themselves with no sound alert or warning of any kind), even while fully charged. It was so problematic that I had it replaced, and unfortunately the new one I got does that too so it's not just a fluke. So I can't use this for gaming or action stuff that I can't pause and select it for reconnection on my bluetooth screen. Most of the time I'm talking on the phone or in voice chat with these snd since what I hear doesn't change when it disconnects, I don't even know it has disconnected unless I hear the other person on the end yelling loud enough that I can hear it from my phone through the earbuds still in my ear. Sometimes it doesn't want to reconnect immediately, sometimes it does. This also means I'm always paranoid when using them at the gym too because if my music/podcast/audiobook suddenly stops playing on these, it plays out loud directly from my phone, like it does using the phone talk or on discord. Actually literally last week, after using these for 3 months even with the connectivity issues, I heard a beeping sound series of notes play before it disconnected (not dead, just disconnected) and I've literally never heard that sound before so idk what's up with that. Otherwise, I actually really love these and I'm so upset about the connectivity issues because they would be 1000% perfect otherwise. They are very comfy, they have never fallen out of my hear even at the gym. The noise cancelling quality is AMAZING, and only the really loud things and certain frequencies like a close leafblower and stuff will get through a tiny bit, but the noise cancelling is super impressive. The sound quality is great. The buttons are not positioned in a way like with some other bluetooth earbud like things where the button is on the outside and to press it you have to shove it further into your ear for the button to press down. These buttons are on the front of the plastic piece so you don't press it further into your ear to get it to click. The fit in the case easy, they charge fast and last for a VERY long time. It doesn't feel like hard plastic sitting in your ear or wrapping around the top. The while color has held up through frequent use as well.

Well, it has been an adventure. For the money, the X20 Sport is the first wireless IEM to truly wow me after trying several other highly regarded options under $100, including the A40 and Liberty 4NC. These fit very comfortably and securely, I have yet to have them fall out of my ears. I bought them for active outdoor use. I was first concerned they would be awkward while wearing glasses, but it didn't take long to know this wasn't a concern at all. They fit my ears most securely with the hook cradled inside my outer ear lobe edge, not over the front of the ear as it is commonly shown in pictures. Works fantastic this way for my ears; they aren't going anywhere! I also use them over the ear lobe for casual listening; still no issue using with glasses, and they fit so well it's like they are not there at all. These are very light IEMs. ANC works great too; not as well as others I have tried, but still very respectable and much appreciated. The A40 buds were fantastic... at first. I loved their compact form factor and overall sound signature. I actually preferred them over the Liberty 4NC. However, they had persistent connectivity issues/pauses while music was playing. I REALLY wanted to keep them, but this ended up being too annoying and eventually a deal-breaker. They also fell out of my ears more than once while working, so this was also discouraging. The more expensive and highly regarded Liberty 4NC's also had impressive sound quality and were feature packed, even had LDAC like the A40's for better sound. But the stem design was clunky, and I just could not get them to fit right, no matter what I tried. The touch sensitive controls were also annoying to use at times, but not a big deal. But I could never get them to fit right into my ears without the stems being in an awkward position. Note: I did not try using different earbud tips, this may have made a difference, but I still returned them as again, they just did not fit securely enough for active outdoor/physical work. Enter the X20 Sport. Well then. In retrospect, I really should have just ordered these first before the A40 and 4NC, considering they are specifically made for active use. However, I was sold on the others based on all the positive YouTube reviews and customer ratings, so I tried those first. I wanted great sound quality, comfort, and overall usability while prioritizing audio performance. Sound quality is on par if not better than with the A40s in my opinion, these can be some very respectable musical earbuds with the proper EQ settings and even more so with upgraded tips. As others mention, these come with a very bass/mid-bass heavy sound, but can get tamed (some) by adjusting the app EQ. They fit fantastic, sound fantastic, perform fantastic for the money. These are definitely keepers, they are exactly what I was wanting. I wouldn't call these "audiophile" but that's not the point; any Bluetooth IEM will not sound as good as wired. But these, at least for me, provide a very respectable listening experience in situations where regular wired IEMs just can't be used. The included silicone tips are... ok... but I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading them for better fit and sound. Foam tips are fantastic for noise isolation/ANC and secure fit. But for the best sound quality, comfort, overall ANC effectiveness, I do prefer well regarded premium silicone replacements. There are TONS of earbud tips to choose from; just be sure to find those that will not only fit the X20 but also fit its charging case if that is a big priority. Spinfit W1's, for example, will fit on the X20s and sound AMAZING to me; they eliminate the muddy/boomy sound verses stock tips and improve the audio quality significantly. They also are amongst the most comfortable tips I have tried. But you'll need to take them off the earbuds every time you put them back into the charging case. Some people will I'm sure dislike this, but the sound performance improvement and comfortable fit is very well worth the extra effort IMO. If you are looking for the absolute best option for sound quality and comfort, try Divinus Velvet tips (both wide bore and standard). Not only are they the best I've tried on the X20 for overall sound quality, they also can fit into the charging case using the smaller sizes. Wide bore tips tend to accentuate treble and clarity, the regular to narrow-bore tips tend to enhance bass frequencies more. JVC Spiral Dot++ (and its previous variants) are also easy recommendations. These do a fantastic job at smoothing the sound profile throughout all frequencies, making for a very smooth, easy to listen to experience for longer listening sessions. Like the Velvets, these are very comfortable as well. There are plenty of other tips I haven't mentioned or haven't tried. For example, I have yet to try the infamous Final Type-E. Honestly, this is my very first experience with wireless IEMs in general, let alone IEM tip rolling. But without a doubt, just a simple tip swap can make a massive difference in the IEM sound experience and fit/comfort. My advice when purchasing tips is to first get a multi-size pack if at all possible. Tip sizes actually vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it is not always reliable to just order the size that fits best. These are great wireless earbuds for anyone who leads an active lifestyle and also enjoys great sound quality and ANC benefits. I use these daily, indoors and out. Highly recommended. NOTE: As with all wireless IEMs, these have a limited lifespan which is ultimately determined by the battery health. To get the most out of your wireless IEMs, only charge them when needed. Good advice is to NOT store them in the charging case, instead try to keep the battery power around 60-80% or lower while in use. If wanting a full charge, let the get to 100% and then remove them from the charging case. Keep them stored outside the case in between listening sessions. This will help to extend the life of the lithium batteries in that are in the IEMs. They are not replaceable. I'll continue to update as I feel needed, I hope this information helps anyone that is considering these. I wouldn't write such a long, detailed review if I wasn't truly pleased. I was not paid or compensated by anyone, just my honest review and opinions.

I've been wearing these for a while now and could not be happier. The fit is wonderful. I wear them with or without my glasses and they are comfortable either way. This works out great whether I am working in the yard or working at my computer. Excellent switching between devices as well. The ANC is good enough that I don't have to blast the volume to ridiculous levels to listen to a podcast or music while I am mowing the lawn. It is not going to compete with 300 dollar ANC headsets on blocking out background noise. For the money though, a great option. Sound quality is better than my Corsair Void Pro headset, which is pretty wild. It is definitely a little heavier on the bass side, but not to an extreme. Switching between devices is pretty seamless. I'll be listening on my PC and then turn on something on my phone and it switches over. If these do stop working at some point, I'll definitely get another pair or whatever the upgrade is from Soundcore. This plus my bluetooth speakers from them are top notch.

When I first got these, they were great. Had a phenomenal experience with a cheaper Anker model before these, couldn't find anything quite as good for the price after trying multiple headphone brands, decided to get these and was immediately impressed. People could hear me very clearly on phone calls. The sound quality for music is fantastic, they charge super fast, they stay in my ear quite well, the active noise cancelling is very well done... All in all, these were absolutely amazing for the price. They have a LOT going for them. Main issues now come from longevity problems, which is why I do not give it the 5 stars I want to give. I was hoping to get a solid couple of years out of these... The left head piece, which I use constantly throughout my work days, for some reason won't dock properly in the case on a regular basis, causing it to not only not charge, but to remain connected to my phone. I'll push it in, and it just won't stay fully seated at times on the charging points. It has gotten to the point where it simply won't charge more than half the time. Cleaning the charging points lightly to clear grime or debris does not help. The right headphone, despite being used relatively infrequently compared to the left, is dropping connection audio repeatedly now over the last two days to the point of being practically unusable. I had a cheaper Anker headset that went through much more stress and lasted nearly two years before it started having issues, so I am really surprised and disappointed to see these more expensive ones fail. I really like all the features - the over the ear design they have is one of the most comfortable I have ever worn, and every other feature about them is deeply impressive. I want to buy another set to replace them, but now I'm worried it'll just break in 6 months again.

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

Gerçekten çok memnunum uygulaması sayesinde çoğu şeyi kontrol edebiliyorum

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.
