"They've got super soft, slightly adjustable ear hooks so they *will not* fall out. ... I've done trail runs, road runs, cycling, yoga, and heavy lifting workouts with them in, and they don't budge. ... They don't even slip out, honestly, so I think they'd hold quite well even without the hooks, but I love the extra security."
"With regard to ear size, the hooks are highly adjustable. ... For me, they are just so comfortable ... because of the ear hooks you don't have to jam the tips in your ears. Really makes a difference in terms of comfort, for me at least. ... I lost mine recently and after trying 4 other kinds of buds, I ended up returning all of them and just going back to the X20s."
"fit better in, and around, my ear. ... they stay on the ear during sport"

"Hip hop sounds especially good. ... Booming bass, if that's you're thing."
"Significantly improved the sound for me. ... Sounded much better after the update alone ... the EQ settings are far more expensive than the x10s ... Overall I'd say with the help of the EQ settings they sound right on par with the x10s"
"i find the sound punchy in a way that is nice for the gym."

"when you look at the price of them compared to other brands...it's just mind-blowing to me that people buy anything else. ... I expected some *good-enough* earbuds when I got them, but these are every bit as good as the buds I've owned over the years that cost 3-4x as much."
"You get 95% of what the premium brands provide, for 25% of the price."
"can be had for $60 on sale. ... An absolute bargain."

"I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day"
"I have a pair of anker soundcore buds that I ve been using heavily daily for like 4 ish years now. ... The battery seems to last nearly as long as it did when new. ... haven noticed a decline in the originals at all."
"Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both."

"I haven't been able to kill them with my sweat yet. ... I went through a couple other brands of similar headphones that would die after a run or two, I believe my sweat killed them."
"going a year and some change strong! ... I still wipe/dry them after every session and they're still holding up!"
"I've had mine for over a year, and have absolutely put them through anything you could think of, and I sweat.. A lot. ... They also do 5 trips a week on avg in a 190° sauna for 20min. Still going strong"

"I had bought a pair of soundcore sport x20 to use for my runs. They were nice and had consistent sound throughout my running but sweat would lubricate them and make them fall off. ... The hook they put on them is not sturdy enough. ... They should have retained the hook they had on the soundcore spirit x2."
"they fall out a lot more"
"They also much more regularly fall out"

"I'm used to a pair of wired koss the plug for 10 bucks and the sound in these are way way worse. ... I would have been fine with sound quality equaling cheap wired ones but this is bad."
"I think they sound terrible. ... The bass is overbearing and muddy with attenuated high frequencies. ... it's an issue with the drivers."
"the audio quality has recently dipped drastically. ... the left bud is noticably worse + quieter than the right."

"I just find the part that goes over the ear a little too flexible so it nudges my glasses more than I prefer."
I use soundcore sport x20 and they have been great. On the budget side too.
r/AppleFitnessPlus • The current best running headphones/earbuds? Any reliable recommendations/advice? ->These are about 80 bucks and they're fine, I have many types of noise cancelling buds and headphones and these are pretty decent. soundcore Sport X20 by Anker https://a.co/d/ck51d2t
r/misophonia • Best noise cancelling earbuds? ->Anker soundcore x20 has ANC, where you can simultaneously turn on transparency mode with wind reduction. I can not comment how well it is as I personally use them with ANC full on. Wind reduction with full on ANC works well.
r/cycling • Looking for earbuds with ANC but transparency mode ->Literally just got these. They are amazing.
r/Earbuds • Recommendations? Over ear hook with physical buttons ->+1 for the Sport X20! The ear hooks have saved me multiple times from a dropped earbud
r/Garmin • Earbuds recommendations? ->For a fairly budget but solid performer, I’m really loving the Soundcore X20 (by Anker) The ear loops have saved me from dropping them several times, the sound is good, the transparency on roads is fine, the ANC is passable. Edit: sigh autocorrect
r/running • It's time for new earphones, please help with recommendations ->Well they still sell them. And they are still easily the best active earbuds by a wide margin. But if you can't find them, I'd say honestly the Soundcore X20 is the next best. Very good for a cheaper price. And I know Sennheiser makes the Momentum Sport but I have tried them as well and I can confidently say they're overpriced and underwhelming (imo) *Other suggestions I see might be good earbuds, but the "active" features are critical to me, you can't dump water on your head mid run with just any earbuds.
r/Jabra • Best alternatives to jabra elite 8 active gen 2? ->An an owner of XM4 buds and headphones, Bose QC ultras and more, I recently got soundcore sport x20 and for the price I have been very impressed with the noise cancelling and sound quality, especially after EQ.
r/SonyHeadphones • Tired of using my XM5 all the time, thinking of getting earbuds — what’s a good but not expensive pair? ->used it for quite sometime, one of my fav earphone but the casing on the outer ear started to come off, but it was a solid earphone. get a casing as soon as you got it as the transparent case can be scratched off quite easily. i am now using anker soundcore sport x20, since i usually use earphone to run
r/Bolehland • Can anyone drop a review on this ear buds ->Tbh get a decent pair of earbuds (I like my soundcore sport x20 and jbl Aeros) headphones just get hot and sweaty, have a decent pair of earbuds and you’ll be able to perform a lot better
r/workout • What headphones do you wear to the gym? ->Get yourself a pair of soundcore x20. They are My All the Time earbuds because they never fall out of my ear. They are made for sports activities so they are water resistant and they don't have any sensors with putting them on or taking them off. The The best part is that it uses a regular old school button! Not a touch sensor, so you won't accidentally stop or start what you're listening to when you adjust the buds for any reason. And the button is not on the front side, but rather on the top, it's a brilliant design! My wife bought these, they retail for $80, but Amazon has them for $63. They don't have wireless charging, but do have noise canceling and transparency mode. https://a.co/d/fnNrMU1 By far the most comfortable pair of buds, and they don't fall out of my ear when I'm eating. The ear loop is super soft and adjustable. I'm kind of picky with how earbuds fit me.
r/Earbuds • A good earbud brand with absolutely ZERO touch or heat sensitivity? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
