Do you like cheap workout buds that don’t sound terrible? We, too, hence why we are all excited about Soundcore’s latest release, the Sport X10. The new wireless headphones not only have more bass than ever before – at least according to Anker, Soundcore’s parent company – but also have a unique ear hook design that’s said to provide a more secure fit than ever before.
Soundcore is famous for producing great value for money running headphones. ItsSoundcore Spirit X2buds are featured near the top of ourbest running headphonesroundup because they A) provide a secure fit, B) feature an excellent sound profile and C) have long battery life. That said, the Spirit X2 were released nearly two years ago – a lifetime in wearable years.

Soundcore Sport X10: Get hooked
The arms are covered with soft silicone material and hopefully are as soft to the touch as theJabra Elite 7 Active. Despite the earhook design, which probably adds to the weight, the Sport X10 only weigh 4.4 grams per earbud – compare this with the Powerbeats Pro’s 20 grams. Another good thing about the foldable hooks is that the case can be smaller; well, at least we hope it’s smaller anyway.

The Sport X10 is said to deliver in spades in the bass department. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, as Anker’s buds are well-known for their bassy sound. The wireless headphones leverage 10mm dynamic drivers with BassUp technology to provide a “highly accurate, bass-forward sound profile”, Soundcore says.
Thanks to the integration of AAC/SBC HD audio codec and high-sensitivity drivers, the Sport X10 are also said to produce an “immersive sound stage while achieving a balanced mix of deep bass and crisp highs.” Bass EQ settings can be adjusted in the Soundcore app, where you’ll also find 22 more EQ presets and a 9-band custom EQ settings.

The Sport X10 buds have IPX7 sweat and water resistance thanks to Anker’s proprietary SweatGuard technology – in fact, you can rinse the headphones off under the tap after a workout. Neat.
As for battery life, the Sport X10 delivers up to eight hours of battery life from a single charge and up to 32 hours of playtime with the charging case. There is also fast charging: get 2 hours of playback after just 10 minutes of charging.
Soundcore’s Sport X10 earbuds have six microphones as well as a wind noise reduction feature (located in the Soundcore app) to provide better call quality even when you’re trying to conduct business calls in the middle of a hurricane. There is also a Transparency mode, in case you’re interested.
