★★★★★ 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.

To be honest. Better comfort than the AirPods, but at least I know they don’t move when I run or walk fast or even jump out of excitement. I’m the kind of person who does everything possible to get ear pods that have no squishy end because they feel so irritatable and annoying to have in, and I could never really find my ear size, but the x-small really feels so nice to the point I enjoyed my purchase the next hour going to work. I could test the noise cancelling, and it’s not the best compared to the Apple headphones (which I have tested but never bought). This is enough to silence a football match and a chatty Uber driver to the point the amount of times I said what to the driver when I was giving the hint to be left alone, he probably thought I was deaf. It’s good but not enough to not hear like a whisper of the football match, like I knew noises were around me but not enough for me to pick up on what they would say. You know when you’re underwater and can hear the vibration or muffling of sound? For me, it was the same but with my favourite song and escaping reality for the next 20 mins before work. Long story short. Buy and if you’re like me in sense of feel and peculiarity, this would suit you fine 😊 Audiobooks and voice calls sound good and very clear. I mean, voice calls were clear but only on voice; it drowned out outside noise! So yes, I got it because I lost my AirPods (the one without the squishy bit that has ANC). It kills me to this day I lost something that expensive, but when you’re saving the life of your nephew, items don’t matter. Anyway, this was better for calls than imagined, and I heard myself enough to know when my voice increased so I don’t be obnoxious to those around me. Wish there was a case to put them in that looked and felt safe, but I’ll be getting some I found on AliExpress, but nothing on Amazon catches my eye. Connectivity was also very easy. The app for the ear pods is brilliant to have. I love the hoop design more than I imagined! Anyway, hope you love the product as I do!

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..

Great workout headphones for the price. My gym plays music fairly loud, but I can't hear it at all with these in (in noise cancelling mode) so in my experience the ANC is great. I have them at just over half volume, so they're certainly loud enough. No complaints from me on sound quality. Of course you can get better, but for me that's not worth the jump in price. I was worried the ear hooks would be uncomfortable or not fit (I have really small ears), but they've been comfortable and secure during my sessions so far (couple hours at a time). Too early to comment on durability or charging/battery life (I've not had to charge them yet). I don't expect them to take much charging, battery life with these is normally pretty good. All in all really happy with them!

Purchased in December 2025 for running & gym purposes. Overall a good pair of earphones with some minor flaws. Sound quality is good, but not great or exceptional. The equaliser settings are numerous and I can't say I've found one that I prefer to the default. I tend to listen to metal or electronic music when running, podcasts for the gym. The noise cancelling helps me hear a podcast over gym noise, but doesn't help when I'm running in windy weather (a matter of physics rather than anything else). The Android app is pretty irritating, I've blocked all notifications after it started sending me offers. I find that very cheeky from a brand I've literally just patronised. The earhooks work perfectly well, however I'm yet to find a precise earbud size that suits my ears. They're either slightly too big or slightly too small. Everyone's ears are different, however, so your mileage may vary. I have had no problems wearing glasses or sunglasses with the earhooks. The double press on the earphone buttons isn't particularly responsive. I appreciate being able to reprogram it, but half the time I'm accidentally pausing a track rather than skipping to the next one. I have tested these earphones in rain, wind and various levels of background noise and they have performed well. As previously mentioned, in-ear solutions cannot cope with high winds. If this bothers you, consider over-ear products. Battery life is perfectly satisfactory. I have not yet used these for phone calls so cannot comment on microphone quality. If you're looking for a decent pair of earphones for exercise, these are a good option. I paid £64.99 on account of having chosen a less popular colour, I would not have paid RRP.

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.

Great pair of ear buds, I was blown away by the sound quality compared to an old set of beats I’d been using. Nice to have app control of them as well, you can even set a personalised equaliser for your listening preference by using an in app feature or just use the preset ones, which there’s plenty of. Battery life seems to really good for the size of them. Noise cancelling is decent, I tend to use them with it off though so I can hear if people talk to me at the gym. My only complaint would be the buttons, they’re a bit fiddly and I’ve found them a bit awkward to use but I’m sure I’ll get used to them. They do fit my ears really well, I find normal ear buds always fall out of my ears, having the adjustable ear hooks makes sure that they don’t move. I can’t comment on call quality as I haven’t used them for that yet. Definitely recommend them for gym or exercise which is what I primarily use them for.

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 sound for the price and super for workouts. Adjustable so they fit perfectly. Battery life is good so really happy with the product.

I think one of the best earbuds to wear during exercises n aerobics and music listeners ofcourse. Good vocals,base n treble and super comfortable.

Comfort, I've went through so many pairs of earbuds because they were painful to wear but these are special, I can wear them all day long and I'll sometimes forget I have them in. The sound quality is great, bass has never left me wanting and no peaking like with cheap earbuds. The only pair of earbuds I can say in my experience the sound better then these cost $250, and by better I mean a little bit. Form factor, the carrying case isn't too bulky but not so small you'll lose it easily, it's easy to take in and out of my pocket. Battery life, It's the best I've ever had in Bluetooth earbuds, I can count on one hand how many times I charged the case since I've had them and have a couple fingers to spare. I don't know how low they were since it has no battery life display (my one and only gripe but I can live without it if it makes the case more compact). Now the active noise calculation.....absolutely amazing. It actually works a little too well for me because I can't hear ANYTHING with it on, like I mean at all. I've had Bose earbuds that specialize in active noise cancelation that suck compared the these, I'm serious it's crazy. Set up, pretty standard, it's easy just press and hold the case button for 3 seconds then add them on your phone. These really are the best bang for the buck I know of when it comes to earbuds because it ticks all the boxes while only costing $70.
