Today we’re taking a look at the brand new Sport X10 true-wireless sport earbuds from Soundcore. Featuring hybrid ANC and powerful bass, they are also IPX7 waterproof. We will checkout all these features as well as analysing the fit and sound. When it comes to any truly wireless earbuds the charge case is very impotent. Considering the size of the earbuds the carrying case for the X10s is quite small. The matte black finish and subtle branding look sleek. On the back we find a paring button and USB-C port for charging, no wireless charging unfortunately. The earbuds have 8hrs of playtime and the charge case has 32hrs. The front of the charge case has a button which releases the magnetic lid. I like the feature, just press the button and the case pops right open, easy! When the lid is opened, LED indicators show the battery level. Lets checkout the X10s themselves. From the design these are really made to fit security in your ears. They have this rubberised hook that you fold back and goes around the ears. I like the little red accents, they look sleek and are portable for a pair of sports ear buds. The ear buds each have a dedicated button, this is great. No need to fuss with touch controls, just feel the button and press, perfect. They also have several mics visible, this is for the calls and hybrid ANC. In terms of fit and comfort, combined with the back of the earbud and hook that lock into place as you rotate the earbud down, you have several points of contact to create more grip for the earbuds and to distribute the comfort. I can easily wear the X10s for hours at a time. But how do they sound? The sound profile of the X10s is not flat or neutral, but for a pair of sports headphones I want the thump, I want the sound to be exciting and vibrant and that is exactly what the X10s offer. The bass is powerful and clean, so no distortion even at higher listening volumes. His creates for big sound especially coming from such small in ear earbuds. There have been instances where I found myself looking for a bit more in the higher frequencies, they are present but compared to the bass, these could be a bit more pronounced. At the same time though, the highs are still detailed and not piercing or harsh so are comfortable to listen to. Finally the mids are solid, retaining detail and making vocals and much of the instruments audible and clear. But again the highlight here is the bass and in a pair of sports earbuds that exciting sound is exactly what I’m looking for. A feature I really enjoyed on the X10s are the onboard controls. There’s one on each earbud and these can do a lot. These controls are reliable and great to use. The hybrid ANC when on works quite well. It blocks out lower frequency content noise, fan noice, A/C or even road noise but doesn’t block much higher frequency noise like people talking. So who are these for and are they worth it? The Soundcore Sport X10 tick all the right boxed for a pair of sports ear buds. They have exciting sound that will help energise you in the middle of a workout. The fit is firm yet also comfortable with user friendly on-board controls. Great battery life, small charging case and hybrid ANC to help block out some noise. Soundcore is knows for their good sounding, feature packed value headphones and ear buds and the X10s are another great example of this!

Is music essential for your workout? 💪

[@elmaster6207]

Yes and no, is all in the mind but it can remove many distractions on this tech era world, also working out is a good excuse to listen to music and get lost for at least 30 mins.

[@Jake51500]

YES that & podcasts

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Another great review, Dion! Thanks for sharing! I think music during workout is essential! Actually, music is important anytime of the day to me! Cheers from Brazil!

[@DionMedia]

Hi Eduardo, as always, many thanks for your comments. Brazilian music should be part of everyone’s time!

[@TheCategor]

5:22 "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy..." - Spot on reference man!

[@DionMedia]

Yes haha! Good catch man 😃🙌

[@77dris]

I used to have some Soundcore Spirit Sports. MAN did they sound good with dual 6mm drivers (lots of punch and clarity), IPX7, 8 hour battery, super comfortable and only $30. I wish they would make these again, or something similar without all the added frills like ANC and charging cases etc. For me sound and battery life are the only things that really matter (and fit).

[@DionMedia]

Never tried that one, sounds great!

[@wingwalker3]

I bought these for the fit. They stay in while running and sweating. I don't think about them. No ear fatigue. Sound is totally fine for music & podcasts.

[@DionMedia]

Good to hear

[@NicoleZelda1998]

The Soundcore Sport X10 Bass Sounds Divine and Incredible.

[@aljay2955]

Excellent review. Just bought a pair instead of the $150 to $300 I have bought in the past. Anxious to get them. Thanks again for the review.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Alan, thanks for the compliment. And enjoy your purchase, a good price!

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

How do you feel about them? Sound quality? Bass?

[@aljay2955]

@@Bread_n_Butter. They are excellent. There is no distortion when using a high volume setting. I downloaded the app for iPhone and there are many ways to customize the sound. For me the mix of bass and treble is very good. If someone likes mega bass its not going to happen but the app allows for more bass or treble. Overall, well worth the money. I would say nearly as good as my old Bose earbuds. I also bought the more expensive Soundcore earbuds and they are equal with the Bose earbuds if not slightly better. Over all a great product for an amazing price.

[@redreacts2388]

I brought a pair of these, months ago. The best workout headphones I have ever had, by far. Also, they have amazing sound quality! (if you know how to use the EQ properly). These are a must-buy...

[@JenniferRodriguez-jd4fe]

I just ordered a pair a couple hours ago!! In other vids I heard about setting the custom eq in a "v" pattern for better sound... Hope it works!!

[@redreacts2388]

@@JenniferRodriguez-jd4fe Yeah, if you play with it enough, you should find a good sound 👍

[@saadsaleh8408]

I bought this one but i found the sound quite gentle and soft. This is not actually loud. How can i make the sound a little louder like apple ear vuds?

[@DionMedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hammadsaeed5448]

Amazing review and presentation

[@DionMedia]

Thank you!

[@Ryan-zt2xw]

Are you sure they stay in place while running for long distances? I run 5-6 miles at a time

[@johnnytraveler]

Love ear hook buds. Bought the soundcore x2 8 months ago. Unfortunately it had numerous problems. Anker was great in replacing them 2x under warranty. But my 3rd pair still has connectivity problems. So I'm guessing they will go in the bin soon. So, I 'll wait to see more user reviews before committing to buying these.

[@DionMedia]

Hi John, I am sure there will be more reviews. And sorry to hear about your experience

[@justchillin7274]

My x2s battery started going bad after 18 months, just a bit after warranty. left bud will only last 7 ish hours, right is still normal. And they will drain a lot if not in use for several days. 7 hours is still good, but i dont check the battery life, and while there’s supposed to be a voice telling you they are low, the left one just outright dies, making it super annoying if i cant get to my charging case. Still, they sound great. If i get this ones, I’ll probably try to get a replacement a month before warranty to avoid this. I do use them in pretty harsh environments sometimes so that might be my issue.

[@raybelruiz64]

Tal ves es tu teléfono amigo deberías checar con otro teléfono a aver si pasa lo mismo le pasaba a mi amigo y solo era con su teléfono cuando los conectaba a mío funcionaban perfectamente

Do you have to use the app if you have these?

[@adrianparafianowicz802]

Will they be good for podcast listening on a bike?

[@htg41]

Thanks for the review, I'm seriously considering buying these :) Just so you know, the links (except the US one) in the description don't seem to work since the "(Save" part was left in the link

[@DionMedia]

Hi, forgot to thank you. Highly appreciated your warning, rectified it immediately

[@naveencci]

what about the quality of the call? the other end can hear very well? Or do I need to be louder to make them hear?

[@pathfidelino5424]

how is the bass compare to liberty 2 pro?

[@GodFirst607]

Like most ear buds I've tried, not very loud. Also, the ear buds are configured such, that you have to put them in a certain way.

[@NicoleZelda1998]

But The Bass Makes Me Feel Cindy, What a Build!!

[@junginbaek9792]

People would buy this one to see if it doesn't fall when running and jumping. You need to demonstrate those if you are truly reviewing a product like this....

[@DionMedia]

Hi Jungin, I did run and jump, but filming it is a next step. Why not. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ahmedabdulwahed4867]

Don’t worry I used it during running Doesn’t fall

[@geminirhythmspirit2573]

Great review, I've I hear that an app is also available,

[@junginbaek9792]

@@DionMedia Thanks I did buy it and it's great. They don't fall during 100 meter dash or taekwondo kicking practice and they also have app that is pretty useful in terms of sound and all.

[@SBezmy]

I’d also like some word on connectivity, phone/laptop etc. How are they with phonecalls or online meetings using your laptop? I know it’s a sports set but that doesn’t mean it accounts for 100% of the usage

[@PedroPrego]

I've just discovered your channel now... The discount code ended. What a shame. I'd definitely buy it through here

[@DionMedia]

Hi Pedro, sorry about that, but you understand that these conditions are not in my control. Glad that you discovered my channel by the way!

[@Panzerbeast]

My second pair of Anker Soundcore spirit X2 died on me. Well one ear did. Do got these to try out.

[@Roboseal2]

When you use the app, I actually found that I feel the X10 is decently better in terms of sound quality than airpods.

[@prettyscar876]

I have the soundcore sprite so nice even when im running it will not fall

[@hotcoco6862]

no mention of Microphone performance?

[@alfher3089]

Hi, thanks for the review. You spoke about the speaker quality, however, what about the microphone quality. I heard some reviews about the liberty 2 pro and they sound OK in a noisy environment, actually better than the galaxy earbuds pro. Is the x10 microphone as good as the one built in on the liberty 2 pro?

[@DionMedia]

Hi Alf, great question. I have not used the Liberty 2 pro, but I did use the Liberty 3 Pro and I would say that the quality is comparable to the x10

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

Great review... You ticked all the boxes.

[@DionMedia]

Thank you 🤗

[@user-sk4uf5wv4w]

What do you mean when you say ANC?

[@agenteles]

I've been looking for a decent pair of eat bugs at budget price. This might be it.

[@vhira]

How strong are the anc capabilities of these earbuds. I have the Jlab Epic Air Sport Wireless Bluetooth Noise-Cancelling Earphones and they suck at anc.

[@WickyFarms]

Hey do you recommend these over pixel a series? I workout and need something that won't fall out...however I do at times fall asleep so the low profile of pixel sounds nice

[@DionMedia]

Hi Wicky, for working out I would definitely recommend the X10; however for sleeping the Pixel A series seem better as they are slightly smaller

[@WickyFarms]

[@TonyRome402]

I bought mine from Amazon for $49.99. They are usually $69.99. After owning them for a week; I think they are worth at least $100.00. They sound as good as my powerbeats pro.

[@abigailherrera976]

Can you swim with these?

[@MrTim63]

Was anyone successful pairing without the app installed? I could not even see the buds without the app. First thing the app asks for is location permission. Why on earth would they need that unless they intend on tracking me. Otherwise very impressed with the product and completely agree with this review.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Tim, you should be able to pair them without the app, just in the settings as any other blue tooth device. As far as the location permission is concerned this is not obligatory and I agree with you it should not be asked

[@RickWolffTV]

wish you had taught how to change the volume versus pause and skip - that's why I came here

Hiii, Does it pause music if you take one off? thanks

They don't have in-ear detection, so no unfortunately.

how are these soundwise vs the life p3 and liberty air 2 pros? I had those but thinking about getting the x10

[@DionMedia]

Hi, I have not tested the two you mentioned, but what I can say is that the x10 in general has the better bass which you can further tweak in the app.

[@Jake51500]

I was so excited to purchase these earbuds after countless positive reviews on YT…they sound great. However, my first 2 jogs I have experienced constant choppy audio. I tried the earbuds with both my new Samsung S22 and my older S9…there were issues with both devices, moreso and much worse with the S22. Also, I noticed that the earbuds started to feel submerged with sweat gathering in my ears, and it would effect the sound. I am used to using wired apple earpods, and didnt experience this as they did not fit as snugly as the X10 do within the ear. I even tried the smaller tip but it still happened. I just want to be able to use these earbuds and enjoy them trouble free. Any suggestions? UPDATE AFTER TRYING RECOMMENDED TIPS TO RESOLVE So I went for a jog with the x10s, not taking any chances I took my Samsung S22, my old Samsung S9, and old wired Apple earpods. Up until the 17 minute mark there was maybe one or two quick audio outages…then it started to happen so frequently around the 20-22 minute mark that I switched over to the S9…which immediately did the same thing, at the 25 minute mark I found myself almost tripping & falling as I struggled to untangle the Apple earpods to use. What a frustrating experience!! I want nothing more than to figure this issue out and get to enjoy these x10s…and stop carrying around 2 phones & wired earpods just to be able to enjoy a jog.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Jay, what a frustrating experience! Really sorry to hear this. I do not have a solution, but sincerely hope it will work out

[@RuairiMacTiernan]

few things from the review. The case is NOT important when it comes to fitness or gym earphones / earbuds since you are carrying a gym bag and 99% of the time the case will live in the bag, The clicky case lid release button again makes no difference, becase anyone that works out will NEVER put the ear buds on when they go to the gym floor or out on a run, the ear buds will be put on before you start doing anything so no sweety or damp hands. but i think i am sold on these ear buds, mainly because there are so few hook earbuds on the market and the barrery life seems amazing, i do worry though about the rotating hook and how long that will last before it breaks.

[@timmat8029]

Did you end up getting them? What do you think?

[@SpaghettioH]

I think you're being a little too critical about use cases and not the product itself. The case is part of the package, and so it was reviewed.

[@Vatsal1285]

Does this have adjustable anc

[@DionMedia]

Hi, I am sorry, but I am unable to answer this one. The answer should be in the App, as I have seen from other reviewers, but they focus mainly on the US version of the App

[@franco05]

Its amazing how many reviewers only talk bla bla bla, and dont mention fit, do they fall or slide off during exersize, thats all that matters, how they fit and behave in Real world Use, the other crap we can read in the manual.

[@ibadzaidi6969]

Hey I wanted to know whether the hooks interefere while wearing glasses does it get a bit stuffy around the ears?
