These Anker Soundcore Sport X10 Headphones Are Cheaper Than Ever
If you’re looking for headphones that won’t fall out during your workout, you might want to check out the Anker Soundcore Sport X10 , now $49.99 (down from $79.99). According to price trackers , this is the lowest price these headphones have ever offered, and they received a high rating of 4.0 out of 5 and an “excellent” verdict from PCMag . Available in black or oatmeal white , these earbuds feature rotating ear hooks (that rotate 210 degrees) and optional ear tips in a variety of sizes so you can adjust them for a custom fit. However, if you wear glasses, ear hooks may interfere with the temples of your glasses and their placement.
The Soundcore Sport X10’s sound profile is bass-forward thanks to 10mm dynamic drivers and Anker BassUp technology, but it’s still balanced enough for everyday listening. Pair that with Bluetooth 5.2 support for wireless connectivity, surprisingly good noise-canceling performance (for the price), and an IPX7 rating, and you’ve got a solid pair of audio gear ready for even the most intense workouts. (It should be noted, however, that the charging case does not have this durability rating.)
The controls for these headphones are located at the top of each earbud, preventing discomfort from accidentally pushing them further into your ears during adjustments. These controls are customizable via the app, where you can also toggle between ANC (active noise cancelling), transparency and mute modes, fine-tune the sound with an eight-band equalizer, and explore advanced options like breathing exercises. Battery life is decent, with Anker estimating eight hours per charge and an additional 24 hours from the case. Your experience may vary depending on your listening volume and how often you use ANC. If you’re considering alternatives, the $42.30 Jabra Elite 3 is another solid option.
