I was about to recommend them also. They stay stable on an ear even on a very demanding trails. IP68 - just rinse sweat with tap water after. Battery life - enough for full marathon volume full on and noise cancellation on. And they have bass, unlike many other earphones. Lightweight - you barely feel them. Connects to two devices simultaneously - ex. watch and phone.

Soundcore sport X20. Long time gym goer and these are the only buds that have held up to sweat and stay put in my ears. They also have excellent sound and ANC.

Never failed me and normally my ear buds and ear canals are drenched in sweat after a lift. They also stay in place super well!

I have tried a number of running/workout ear buds over the years, but the only ones I can safely and happily recommend are the Soundcore Sport X20 and they’re super reasonable! Not sure if they were on your short list, but they are amazing and never lose the seal in my ear therefore never lose any audio quality

They've never fallen out before. They have gotten loose occasionally, but I think that's more to do with me picking the wrong sized earbuds. Having said that, I don't really run or do high intensity (too old). Maybe try the Soundcore Sport x20s since they have ear hooks - it was a toss up when I was shopping between the two. However, the P40i were cheaper by about $20, so that's what did it for me. From what I understand a lot of the Soundcore stuff is the same (both of these headphones have 11mm drivers, similar ANC and similar mics). So, I suspect the biggest difference is in the look, the case and control buttons.

The Sport X20 are extremely comfortable. The loops are expandable and that feature is never mentioned (remember to retract before recharging). I haven’t used transparency mode.

I'm demoting these. They sound great but because the hooks swivel (so they will fit in the case), they actually pop right out of my ears as soon as I get going. The stock tips are garbage and that could be the problem but I couldn't find any foam tips to replace them with.

Heads up: the Sport X20 sound fine but they constantly pull away from my ears. It's because of the rotating hooks which I'd say is a huge "design" flaw. I'm sending them back. SO FRUSTRATING.

Soundcore X20s. I tried to find something better after losing my pair recently and I couldn't so I just got another pair. Wearing them again after trying 4 other pairs (earfuns, beats fit pro, soundpeats and the cheap sonys) is a relief honestly, in terms of comfort. Because of the ear hooks you don't have to jam the tips into your ears and that makes a huge difference, for me. Plus the sound is good, IMO. They check all your boxes honestly, and the app is better than all those other ones I tried. Again, fit and comfort is personal but for me they are amazing and perfect for the gym.

I recently switched from Airpods Pro 2 to Anker X20 for workout and found how convenient hooks for exercising. Transparency mode is mediocre comparing to Apple, call quality on par, sound quality- for me is enough for gym. I would add Jabra 8 active in your list, 1st gen still nice and you can find them on sale.

To preface I sweat a lot so when I do where earbuds, they tend to get wet from my sweat after each sessions. Happens more often during the summer than winter but still, they do get wet. Since I know I sweat a lot, I do make sure to wipe both buds and let them dry on a microfiber towel before putting them back in their charging case. I had ESC sounds and swore by them until after a year, the left earbud wouldn't charge. I reached out to support and since I was only a month outside of warranty, they sent a new pair, free of charge. With these new pairs, I made sure I wiped the sweat off each session. Unfortunately after another year, one of the earbud did the same thing, they stopped charging. [Soundcore Sport X20](https://www.soundcore.com/products/a3968-sport-x20-earbuds?ref=true-wireless-earbuds) \- I got these as a replacement and going a year and some change strong! I still wipe/dry them after every session and they're still holding up! They don't fall bc of the ear hook too.

I wear glasses and have the Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats Pro In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds. They do NOT budge and do not fall out of my ears like the galaxy buds I had before these. A more budget friendly version is the Sport X20 by Anker, True-Wireless Workout Earbuds. They're also great (my partner has them and I've recommended them to a friend who loves them). I just find the part that goes over the ear a little too flexible so it nudges my glasses more than I prefer. Other than that, they are pretty solid and I'd use them if I didn't wear glasses!

I'm leaning towards these. Maybe 4 months out of the year I run in the cold with a hat. I can't find any info about how the ones with touch sensitivity work with a hat (unintentional presses, not registering actual presses). These are one of the only ones I've found with physical buttons and are programmable. May I ask, have you used transparency mode? How do you like it? I'm a little concerned about the ear loop comfort but I won't know until I try them. I do like Anker products though. The pair these are replacing are soundcore Liberty from almost 6 years ago .

I have tried many and they all fall out, especially on airplanes for some reason, where I have to scramble under seats searching for them. So I went for the Anker Soundcore Sport X20 which have ear hooks. So far no problems although the Noise Cancelling is not the best.

You mentioned you are a runner. Im also a runner and i have some experience to share too. I just took a look at those Jabras. I think those would not stay in my ears during a run. Once i begin sweating, the sweat would lubricate them and they probably would fall off. 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. The JBL endurance peak are also not good for running but not because of the hook but because they are unable to handle sweat. Once i sweat, trouble starts with bass disappearing from the left earbud and then the volume lowers itself on the left earbud such that i now get imbalanced sound. Then later on, the other earbud also lowers it's volume and loses the bass. They later return to their original sound once im done running and they have dried up. For this reason, i retired them from running and i now use them like a normal non sport earbuds. That being said, i still love their sound especially the punchy bass. They beat even the soundcores. Anyways, I later resorted to using a cheap pair of chinese earbuds called Dacom athlete. They are the only ones i have had that do not fall off and their sound never changes even when i sweat. They also have a 20hour battery life.

I just got em and tried em on. Have to say I'm very dissapointed. These are the first decent Bluetooth earbuds I've ever tried. I'm used to a pair of wired koss the plug for 10 bucks and the sound in these are way way worse. What am I missing or doing wrong I have to ask? Is there some setting I need to use or some sort of tweaking? Right now I have it set to normal in the app and the default eq setting. I would have been fine with sound quality equaling cheap wired ones but this is bad

I have the AZ80 and Space A40 from this list. I also have the Earfun Air Pro 4, Soundcore Liberty 4NC, Soundcore Sport X20, and I've had several others over the last couple of years including the Jabra Elite 10 gen1. The Earfuns are my favorite for music. The AZ80s are my favorites for day to day use, including phone calls and transparency mode. What I've learned is, the difference between the really high dollar options and mid-priced ones is much smaller than you would expect. I hadn't used the A40s in a while, and they were my absolute favorites for a long time. While they aren't as good as my Earfuns or Technics, unless you're comparing them side to side, you'll probably be okay.

I think the Sport X20 and Liberty 4NC have the best ANC of the bunch. I don't take much public transport, but all I need them to do is reduce noise, not eliminate. So to me,they all are fine. Specifically regarding ANC though, the Soundcore buds are a cut above.

I have a pair of Soundcore Sports I bought in October 2022 that worked great until they didn't. I was running in April and started to hear a squealing in my left ear. Turns out the part that holds the bud to the body of the earphone just came off in my ear. I glued it back on but it still squeals so they are going in the trash. Still looking to replace them with something similar (with ear hooks).

You should try contacting customer support about it. One of the main reasons I still use and recommend Anker/Eufy/Soundcore products to this day is their customer service. If they can't fix the problem within their existing policies, they will likely give you a steep discount on your next pair.
