There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have (somewhat) desperately, definitely with increasing exasperation, tried 10+ pairs of earbuds ranging from ~30-$180.
I really wanted
*ANC &
*Pass-thru sound.
I don't need Bose quality sound, but I appreciate above 'meh.'
All I can say is...
HAL-LE-FRICKIN-LUJAH!!! THESE DON'T *HURT* MY EARS AND THEY DON'T FALL OUT. EVER.
For these seemingly most BASIC of features, they qualify as the ONLY pair of winners that I'm able to keep so far.
(And to be clear, I wore the other options for a week + and gave each of them a good thorough try.)
I've even worn these in bed and fallen asleep with them in (more than once) and these buds remained on/in my ears- didn't get lost in my bed. I did wake up and take them out at some point with mild discomfort, but I didn't intend to sleep with the buds, and wouldn't exactly say they're comfortable enough for that purpose.
They paired easily. The app connected easily.
They are comfortable for me for the whole day. (WOW, I honestly began to think I'm aurally deformed.) I did switch the tips to tiny memory foam ones I purchased seperately in my quest for comfort, and they are slightly more comfortable for me than the silicone options provided.
The buds charge quickly in the case and the case itself charges quickly.
The battery life is about 6-8hrs. Wish it was longer.
I like the flip feature of the ear hooks, despite
that twisting them around to replace them INTO the case is awkward for me and I always have to fiddle to get them seated correctly to charge in the case— but I feel that's a small nuisance to endure for the fact that they actually offer me COMFORT AND DON'T-FALL-OUT!! I like that the case remains smaller with the hook/twist design.
The hooks are soft and comfortable. They work with glasses and masks.
They don't have superior sound.
The app doesn't have many equalizer options.
The pass-thru has an audible hissing and isn't actually very helpful.
The noise cancelling is ok, but frustratingly you can't use the noise cancelling feature while on a call (!?!) I'll better test this on an upcoming flight.
To listen to podcasts or watch videos throughout my day, I usually wear 1 bud until the battery is low, then the other.
People can hear me clearly on calls, even with moderate background noise.
Cheaper earbud options offer a feature in the case that allows you to toggle through the sound options (ANC, Pass-thru, normal) so that you don't have to fiddle with the teeny buttons on the buds while they're in your ears, and for twice the price of those, I do miss that feature on these.
Other ear buds had an oblong/slightly oval shaped speaker housing design (the perforated metal end part that you attach the silicone tips to) and that shape seemed to make a big increase in comfort for me (but those fell out. Wah wahhh.)
I'm an Anker fan, have cords, speakers, and even tried other Anker buds without the earhook, and they too fell out constantly.
So I'm grateful to find and try THESE. I hope Anker improves the functions for the pricepoint and continues to produce the basic design with the twisting earwire. It's novel and IT WORKS.
I would appreciate if there were no bud/tip insertion like on Apple Airpods 2ndGen.
I can't fathom how insanely difficult it's been to find these in such a saturated market. Apparently I need to design earbuds.
I might get another pair or 2 just to assure I have them for as long as possible.
The Soundcore Sport X10 by Anker are the only solution I've found so far that fit me.
(note: a lot of what I put were just notes I was jotting down while testing them. I try to do a more succinct summary in the first line of each option, and then it gets more rambly/random after that)
In the running:
Sony WF-1000XM4 $189.00 | Beats Fit Pro - $179 | Power Beats Pro - $179 | Jabra Elite 4 Active - $89 | JBL Endurance Peak 3 - $89.95 | Soundcore Sport X10 - $69.99 | JLab JBuds Air Sport - $69.88 | Golrex $29.99 | BMani T16 $39.99
Here are my thoughts:
Power Beats Pro - $179 (149) - My winner overall
Sounds great. It is not the best sound I've heard in earphones, but doesn't seem to lack anything. Has good thumpy bass, presence in the mids, and good clarity up high. Nothing to complain about the sound.
Big/heavy case (doesn't matter that much, but I do take these on big hikes so smaller case would have been nicer)
I think ultimately will be more comfortable for long use than the Fit pro. The stock medium tips fit fine, unlike the fit pro for some reason.
Sounds essentially the exact same as the fit pro which makes sense
Beats Fit Pro - $179
I wanted this to be my favorite. It's light, small, has fun color options, and sounds great. But it ultimately was just not comfortable enough to leave in my ears for longer than 45 minutes. This would vary from person to person obviously.
Pretty comfortable, but had to switch to the small eartips (only earbuds I had to switch from the medium/stock tips). Stays in the ears well, but I think that the whole thing being in there will get uncomfortable pushing my ears after a while. Really little case which is nice.
Really great clarity, feels perfect
Can't find any eq in the app, but I didn't feel the need to adjust any eq settings either, every band/frequency was very satisfying, so that's kind of nice not having to set it myself
Sony WF-1000XM4 $189.00
I believe this has a slightly fuller sound quality to it. Can't really pinpoint how or why, but seems to be the most superior sound quality of all of them. I thought it might be better bass but that's not it. I can't pick a part any individual component that seem superior, it just has an overall fuller sound
There just doesn't seem to be any way that these are going to stay in during a run. Would be great for any non-exercise application, but just wasn't what I was looking for. I would choose these if I were looking for just walk around town kind of earbuds.
Jabra Elite 4 Active - $89
Great clarity and bass out of the box. I am the kind of guy who can only really tell sound differences when a/b testing it. If I only listened to these earbuds, I would have been fully satisfied with the sound quality, the comfort, and the security. It's only because I tested it next to the premium models above that I decided not to go with this. But if this is your budget range, these are definitely the winners.
Excessively comfortable, like the most comfortable of any of the earbuds (premiums included), and feel like they will stay in on a run even though they don't have any sort of little hook like the soundcore or powerbeats, or over ear hook like the others. Definitely the best ergonomics. Would take this over the JBL endurance or any other in the sub $150 price range.
Soundcore Sport X10 - $69.99
more satisfying for non edm music than the other options down below. Better separation for instruments and vocals.
Compared against JLabs with blue tips in, the bass is more comparable. Soundcore keeps more clarity than on higher end (albeit a little tinny sounding), than JLabs
Bass is definitely much better than JLabs. It does feel a bit more muddy because of the heavier bass, there may have been better vocal clarity with JLabs
Everything else seems fine
ANC is decent
small profile is light, really comfortable and stays in the ears
JLab JBuds Air Sport - $69.88
bigger profile, slightly less comfortable than the Soundcore. Bass is lacking out of the box. There's better mid and high clarity on these than the soundcore.
Bass improves a noticeable amount by switching to blue tips, but you lose some clarity higher up
bass feels punchier in edm in these than x10
These are definitely more satisfying for thumpy edm music than the x10
The sound quality just feels lacking in depth, no matter which eq setting you choose.
Has a connected usb charger on the case as a charger (rather than a separate chord to plug into both charger and power), which I don't think I like
JBL Endurance Peak 3 - $89.95
Clear vocals and instruments in mids and highs. Slightly more clear and crisp than the soundcore
Nice bass as well, (slightly worse bass than soundcore), less satisfying than the sound core on lyrical song but actually has punchier bass on edm
Plenty loud (other reviews saying they don't get loud)
The equalizer app gives lots of control
This bass is also superior once equalized. So both bass and instrumental/vocals have more clarity. After messing with eq, is better than soundcore.
This sounded perfectly fine until compared with higher tier, then when a/b compared it sounded a bit more fake, a bit more digital, definitely enough to notice a difference
Golrex $29.99
It is okay sound, probably the best in this price range. If you just want something cheap that will give you sound, these are fine. If you care about sound quality even a little bit, it's worth it to get a better headset.
There is no clarity at any frequency, just a decent amount of noise.
Has an attempted cheap premium look with led interfaces.
BMani T16 $39.99
Sounds way below average, worse than the golrex.
Really similar packaging and look to the golrex, so they're either just copying each other or made by the same people
I'm not someone who writes a review unless it is a solid five star product that BLOWS ME AWAY; or a ZERO star fail. These headphones are 10 out of 10. I hope this review helps.
