Another hit by ANKER SOUNDCORE
I have been an ANKER/SOUNDCORE fan for over 10 years. I’ve used ANKER chargers, cords, battery packs, flashlights, and even the ANKER Eufy scale. Quality products, always reliable, and long lasting. I found their earphones years ago and fell in love with them. My first was the Soundbuds Curve. I am a defense contractor and used them overseas on a 120 degree flightline for months on end. I have since used Soundcore Liberty 2 in ear earphones, Soundcore Space Q45 over the ear earphones, and just last week bought the Soundcore Sport X10… which brings me to the X20’s.I am 62 and due to recent back surgery I have had to change my habits. My better half and I started walking 2-3 miles a day outside, and going on the same route gets a little boring. So I decided to upgrade my earphones to play music to help pass the time. My in-ear Apple airpods need constant readjustment to keep from falling out. So, I decided to try a ‘hook’ type earphone and bought a pair of ‘highly rated’ name brand earphones for $200. They literally failed out of the box. I found Soundcore made a pair of unobtrusive earphones (Soundcore Sport X10) and bought them last week. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. Unfortunately, the wife loves them more. Fine, I’ll order another set… BUT WAIT, the X20’s have just been released!!! YEAH MEEEE!I unboxed them yesterday. Same compact design as the X10’s but a little more refined. The X10 ear ‘hooks’ swing around for storage, where these are permanent but more flexible, plus they slide out for a better fit. These come with 6 different sizes of cushions, and quickly found the most comfortable ones and installed them in seconds. Pairing to my iPhone was done literally in seconds. Open the box, open bluetooth devices… BOOM there it is!I already had my SOUNDCORE app from my other earphones. The app will walk you through a hearing test and automatically create an ‘equalized’ sound profile just for you. Of course, you can always select predefined profiles by genre, or create others to your preferences.OK, now to the magic. The sound is crisp and clear. Bass is deep, but not give you a headache stupid. The earphones are light enough the hook over the ear combined with the in the ear cushion comfortably balance out the minimal weight. Battery life looks to be as advertised (haven’t had to recharge them yet). What minimal exposure I got with the X10, it’s a good improvement in sound and worth the extra few dollars.What I think pushes Soundcore above and beyond others is the app. The X20 (not sure about the X10) has a 3D Surround Sound Sound Effect that brings a whole new level to enjoying music. Plus the Noise cancellation options, and customizable controls make this an overall 5 star product!One thing I don’t like is the placement of the controls on the X20. This one sits at the ‘front’ of the ear and pretty much takes the finger and thumb to find and press whereas the previous placement on the X10’s (and other brands) on top seem a more natural location to reach up and find/tap with one finger. Not a big deal, but awkward to me.

Good for price
Pros: ear bud size – actually fits my ear. I have little baby ears and the extra small actually fits in my ears. Awesome.Sound – amazing sound quality and good base for in ear buds. Was really impressed my first time listening to them and they’re still a step above their price point for sound quality.Laying down – they’re not uncomfortable laying down with them on. Have fallen asleep with them a few times.Cons: battery life – I’m forever looking for a bud with battery life that can hold a charge for my entire work shift. I have to have two sets of buds to get through a shift and was hoping this would be the one but they’re not even close. They have about as much life as my $20 buds.Ear hook – it’s really not secure on your ear at all. It has caught them from falling to the ground when they’ve dislodged but they don’t feel secure at all on my ears and feel like they’re going fall.The charging case doesn’t tell you what percent they’re at so you never know if they’re charged or not. This is a huge flaw imo. Even my $20 buds have this feature.Overall I wouldn’t buy them again but I don’t regret buying them.

These are great for working out, they stayed in place while jogging or lifting weights. With my older earbuds, I would have to push the earbuds back in a couple times on my runs.Pros:- Sounds good- They can be turned on/off by holding down the buttons on the earbuds. This may help with battery life as they don’t need to be placed back into the case to turn them off, which would constantly charge the batteries- Are comfortable since they have hooks to keep them in place and weight distribution- Call quality seems to be good according to the people I’ve spoken too- No issues so far while connected to 2 devices at the same timeCons:- Noise cancelling is just ok, but not a deal breaker for me since I use these for running outdoors

The most important thing for my purchase were the extra ear hooks. And thus preventing the sudden loss of my earphones. In 2nd place the good functioning of the UNC. For the offered price, I am satisfied with the functioning of the UNC.
