Anker's new Sport X10 Fitness headphones are designed to stay in your ear
With fitness-focused headphones, you'll want something that stays in your ear instead of losing Airpods under the treadmill. Anker's new Soundcore Sport X10 headphones promise just that, with a customizable earhook design that's built to stay in place.
The budget-friendly $10 Anker Sport X79 buds are an attractive option with IPX7 sweat and water resistance, bass-heavy sound, and around eight hours of battery life. Then the included charging case boosts battery life to 32 hours.
When it comes to fitness earbuds, only a few styles seem to work — earbuds with a wraparound ear hook or wingtips to hold the earbuds in place. Gym-goers seem to love or hate either type, so it's definitely a preference.
With the new Soundcore Sport X10, Anker has chosen to offer the first option with 210 degree rotatable ear hooks to help users achieve the perfect fit. The style is similar to the PowerBeats Pro, at a much more affordable price.
Anker says the customizable ear hook lets you "adjust the angle to ensure the earbuds fit comfortably in place to prevent them from falling out during vigorous workouts." The rotating design helps wearers find the perfect spot regardless of ear size and shape, providing a secure fit that's perfect for casual or intense exercise sessions.
Considering the price, the Sport X10 doesn't offer active noise cancellation, wireless charging, in-ear sensing or some of the finer features of the more expensive competition. However, Anker says these buds have "hybrid noise cancellation" and a transparency mode for noisy environments or to amplify outside sound.
For just $79, the Soundcore Sport X10 is certainly affordable and considerably cheaper than the PowerBeats Pro or Sennheiser Sport buds, so temper your expectations a bit. That said, we loved the Soundcore Life P3 and considered it one of the best AirPod alternatives available. Who knows, maybe these new fitness headphones are just what gym goers need.
