Comfort, I've went through so many pairs of earbuds because they were painful to wear but these are special, I can wear them all day long and I'll sometimes forget I have them in. The sound quality is great, bass has never left me wanting and no peaking like with cheap earbuds. The only pair of earbuds I can say in my experience the sound better then these cost $250, and by better I mean a little bit. Form factor, the carrying case isn't too bulky but not so small you'll lose it easily, it's easy to take in and out of my pocket. Battery life, It's the best I've ever had in Bluetooth earbuds, I can count on one hand how many times I charged the case since I've had them and have a couple fingers to spare. I don't know how low they were since it has no battery life display (my one and only gripe but I can live without it if it makes the case more compact). Now the active noise calculation.....absolutely amazing. It actually works a little too well for me because I can't hear ANYTHING with it on, like I mean at all. I've had Bose earbuds that specialize in active noise cancelation that suck compared the these, I'm serious it's crazy. Set up, pretty standard, it's easy just press and hold the case button for 3 seconds then add them on your phone. These really are the best bang for the buck I know of when it comes to earbuds because it ticks all the boxes while only costing $70.

Tl;DR - COMFORTABLE, SECURE, LOUD and SOUND GREAT. DEF RECOMMENDED. Detailed Review: I was seeking a pair of earbuds that are loud, have active noice cancelling, have an outside around-the-ear hook, and are comfortable. I tested this against the JBL Endurance Peak 4 and the Treblab X3 Pro. These Anker Soundcore X20 are by far the LOUDEST when you download the app and apply the Boost and set the preferred EQ setup. The ANC works well, no issues with them in a gym. I have slight cauliflower ear and have difficulty finding earbuds that are comfortable and stay in place, these meet my needs very well. They are lightweight and comfortable. The Treblab were larger 14mm drivers and therefore didn't fit and I have discomfort wearing them. The JBL fit well and we're impressively secure but did not get loud. The case is also smaller than both and features a button to open the magnetic lid. So far they are absolutely ideal... We will see how they hold up over the next 6-12 months!

I got these earbuds because of some reviews I had read. I was skeptical and didn’t really have high expectations for them. I was very impressed with them once I got them setup the way I wanted. I’ll break down what I was looking for, what it offered, and the quality. Buttons/controls: I hate touch sensor earbuds. I work at the Post Office and have a business/walking route that has 6mi of walking every day. I get sweaty. I throw sopping wet towels soaked in ice water on my head to keep cool. Touch sensor anything is a nightmare. It has a tactile button on each earbud. These controls can be customized how you like. I chose to have volume up/down for 1 click, next/previous track for the double click, and pause/play for the long hold. The app has a lot of different options to set it up exactly how you want. Waterproofing: like I said above, I sweat and dump ice water in my head. I need waterproof and this seems like it’s what I’m looking for IPX6 waterproof rating is only slightly less than my JBL Flip 5 and it’s taken a tumble into the river. It’s still working to this day. I’ll update this post if the waterproofing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Fit/feel: I wore them all day today and they’re extremely comfortable. They have different size tips to fit your ear canal. It was a little weird getting use to putting them in compared to the regular ones you just put in your ear. This is a loop that goes over the top of your ear to help stabilize them while you work out or walk your route. Setup and connectivity: The setup took a little bit to get through, but it was simple and straightforward. Getting it synced with my phone was a breeze. The app helped me setup the earbuds and get them operating how I like them. Houses that interfered with past earbuds didn’t even cause the soundcores to skip a beat today. I had no sync issues between the earbuds, and no disconnects. Volume and sounds quality: I’ve had Bose, Sony, Raycon, and just about any other brand out there. The sound quality is great. I would put it on par with the Bose quiet comforts (gen 1). The bass is actually a little bit on the heavy side. You can change EQ settings on the phone, or customize the EQ through the app to get the perfect sound. The noise cancelling actually does really well, even in my loud mail truck. It has normal mode that doesn’t do anything to cancel or embellish sound. The full transparency mode allows you to hear your surrounding much better while listening to your music or whatever. All three modes seems to do really well. No issues at all with them. Call Quality: I did make a couple calls today. I could hear fine. The person I was on the phone with didn’t have any issues hearing me. You cannot change the controls for answering/disconnecting calls. Not that you really need to, just FYI. Battery Life: after listening to a mix of music and podcasts for 3 hours, I barely made a dent in the earbuds battery. I haven’t had a chance to run them all the way down yet, but based on what I saw the battery life seems pretty solid. The charging case is supposed to get up to 48hrs. Based on the consumption rate I saw today, that does seem accurate. Time will tell on that. Honestly, I can’t think of anything that I can complain about. It’s an $80 earbud, that is waterproof, tactile buttons, and made for excessive movement. The sound quality out of the box is great and you can customize it even further. It has every single option I was looking for, it gives you way more than that, and then does it really well. I’m a big fan so far.

I stand by the overall thoughts in my initial review. These are very good earbuds for the purpose of using at the gym and running etc. After 2 months, my left earbud simply stopped working. I worked with Anker support and tried a few things including a firmware upgrade. Surprisingly, the left bud worked one more time but then did not anymore. In the end, Anker sent me a new pair that arrived overnight!!! I don't know where they were shipped from and it is possible it is close to my home. No drama needed. They stood by their product. Nonetheless, I was fully impressed. I have a few different Anker items and I nearly put the brand on the back burner. However, they totally redeemed themselves with me. I am really hoping my new set actually holds up for the coming years. I really like these buds for the purposes that I use them for. Original review ---------------------- These buds have the 2 essential characteristics of a good sport/workout set of buds. First, they have physical buttons, which is a must for me. If you have ever run for a bunch of miles and have sweaty hands and then use a touch sensitive volume up control, you might appreciate this as I do. Nothing worse than sweat staying on the control and the volume just continuously raisin until you are forced to pull out the buds. Second, they have ear loops to keep them in place. Another bit of experience from running or working out when they begin to fall out because your ear is getting sweaty and you are trying to dry your ear and the bud tips so they stay in. Other than the basics I look for, these sound plenty fine and I am happy with them. The equalizer is really to dial in the sound you are looking for, but they have plenty of presets you can choose from. The software is well designed and easy to work with. No problems connecting at all. Though this set is for working out, I did check the latency with my laptop. For my use, the latency of these buds was okay with the laptop. It was not fantastic and there was some very slight noticeable delay in the lip syncing, but in a pinch I could live with these, but they would not be a primary device for that purpose. Lastly, the price is overall fair for the overall quality of the buds. However, a couple of comments and/or things I am not fond of. Despite having physical buttons, I have a hard time indexing where they are. I know where they are, but when I put my finger on them It does not feel like a button is there. I also have big fingers, so I might just have an issue most others don't. I am not sure. I would have preferred them on the outside of the bud where the logo is like many other brands. Also related to the buttons and software, especially on my right bud, when you set something to the double button click (like next track), there is not double click tolerance. For me, I have to have the perfect rhythm to get the double clicks to work. It can't be click click or click pause pause click. It has to be a perfect click pause click. Otherwise it most often just pause the music and I am wondering if it is going to the next track. This is probably my biggest gripe with these buds and it is annoying. I am hoping that they will fix this tolerance in an update or that I innately know the pattern with practice. My other gripe is that the cycling of the ANC, Normal and Transparency modes seems to only be allowed with the long press action (could be double click too, but I did not check that). Why is that? So my preferred set up which is from using other buds in the past is this (L bud = Left bud, R bud = Right bud) Single click (R bud) - Pause/play Double click (L bud) - Replay song (previous track) Double click (R bud) - Next song Long Press (L bud) - Volume down (wish press to hold would keep lowering, but that is another issue) Long Press (R bud) - Volume up Why can't I use the Single click (L bud) to cycle through the ANC, Normal and Transparency?????? I would really like the option to use those features on the fly. However, what do I use for volume then? I like the ability to replay a song and since I have hundreds, every now and then I want to hear one again since it might not come up for a long time. Do I remove the next track? That stinks because sometimes you are not in the mood for a particular song at that time. I could stagger the controls and make the previous track the Single click (L bud), Volume down double click (L bud) and then use the mode switcher for long press L Bud, but that really messes me up just thinking that the left and right controls are not lining up well. So I don't know why the set it up like that and I hope that they would fix that too. It is just sad to not use that functionality that could be useful because I don't want to give up other controls that I think are just a little more needed. These should be 5 star buds and in most respects they are. I can live with the button placement and I will get used to that. However, the double click timing bug (yes it is a bug to me) and the inability to 100% arrange the controls as I want them and lose functionality that I could use, only makes these truly a 4 star product.

First time pair is easy, and then after that it connects to your phone instantly as soon as you take them out as it should be. I keep one earbud in for my entire 8 hour shift and it’s not even dead by then. I’ve had these earbuds for like 2 weeks now and I don’t think I’ve even charged the case yet the battery life on these things is LEGENDARY!!! The sound quality is truly amazing. I’m no audiophile but I do enjoy music that kinda requires good sound quality for the song to sound good like rap music and EDM and it makes my music sound AMAZING. The bass is good by default but you can even turn the bass up in the soundcore app. And the sound cancelling is really good to and there’s even a wind sound cancelling mode that actually works very well it makes my outside smoke sessions VERY immersive and it’s ALWAYS windy where I am because I live on the coast. And the fit is amazing I put on the large ear rubbers and they go in and never come out because of the little hook. Another thing is that I’ve had a 200 dollar pair of hook earbuds that after long use made the top of my ears where the hook rests start to itch and form a crust. This earbuds hook is very gentle but still keeps the earbuds in. And I also appreciate how the multifunction button isn’t the flat side of the earbud like every other brand does nowadays. There’s a little button on the side of the earbud you press with a very satisfying click so when you’re adjusting the earbuds you’re not accidentally skipping a song or something. If you’re on the ropes about this pair of earbuds, GET THEM!!! I will absolutely use these until they can’t be used anymore. This is the happiest I’ve ever been with a pair of wireless earbuds EVER!! I will never open up my drawer full of random wireless earbuds again lol.

When I first got these, they were great. Had a phenomenal experience with a cheaper Anker model before these, couldn't find anything quite as good for the price after trying multiple headphone brands, decided to get these and was immediately impressed. People could hear me very clearly on phone calls. The sound quality for music is fantastic, they charge super fast, they stay in my ear quite well, the active noise cancelling is very well done... All in all, these were absolutely amazing for the price. They have a LOT going for them. Main issues now come from longevity problems, which is why I do not give it the 5 stars I want to give. I was hoping to get a solid couple of years out of these... The left head piece, which I use constantly throughout my work days, for some reason won't dock properly in the case on a regular basis, causing it to not only not charge, but to remain connected to my phone. I'll push it in, and it just won't stay fully seated at times on the charging points. It has gotten to the point where it simply won't charge more than half the time. Cleaning the charging points lightly to clear grime or debris does not help. The right headphone, despite being used relatively infrequently compared to the left, is dropping connection audio repeatedly now over the last two days to the point of being practically unusable. I had a cheaper Anker headset that went through much more stress and lasted nearly two years before it started having issues, so I am really surprised and disappointed to see these more expensive ones fail. I really like all the features - the over the ear design they have is one of the most comfortable I have ever worn, and every other feature about them is deeply impressive. I want to buy another set to replace them, but now I'm worried it'll just break in 6 months again.

I've been wearing these for a while now and could not be happier. The fit is wonderful. I wear them with or without my glasses and they are comfortable either way. This works out great whether I am working in the yard or working at my computer. Excellent switching between devices as well. The ANC is good enough that I don't have to blast the volume to ridiculous levels to listen to a podcast or music while I am mowing the lawn. It is not going to compete with 300 dollar ANC headsets on blocking out background noise. For the money though, a great option. Sound quality is better than my Corsair Void Pro headset, which is pretty wild. It is definitely a little heavier on the bass side, but not to an extreme. Switching between devices is pretty seamless. I'll be listening on my PC and then turn on something on my phone and it switches over. If these do stop working at some point, I'll definitely get another pair or whatever the upgrade is from Soundcore. This plus my bluetooth speakers from them are top notch.

I was having such bad connectivity issues (specifically where I was wearing them and suddenly they would unpair by themselves with no sound alert or warning of any kind), even while fully charged. It was so problematic that I had it replaced, and unfortunately the new one I got does that too so it's not just a fluke. So I can't use this for gaming or action stuff that I can't pause and select it for reconnection on my bluetooth screen. Most of the time I'm talking on the phone or in voice chat with these snd since what I hear doesn't change when it disconnects, I don't even know it has disconnected unless I hear the other person on the end yelling loud enough that I can hear it from my phone through the earbuds still in my ear. Sometimes it doesn't want to reconnect immediately, sometimes it does. This also means I'm always paranoid when using them at the gym too because if my music/podcast/audiobook suddenly stops playing on these, it plays out loud directly from my phone, like it does using the phone talk or on discord. Actually literally last week, after using these for 3 months even with the connectivity issues, I heard a beeping sound series of notes play before it disconnected (not dead, just disconnected) and I've literally never heard that sound before so idk what's up with that. Otherwise, I actually really love these and I'm so upset about the connectivity issues because they would be 1000% perfect otherwise. They are very comfy, they have never fallen out of my hear even at the gym. The noise cancelling quality is AMAZING, and only the really loud things and certain frequencies like a close leafblower and stuff will get through a tiny bit, but the noise cancelling is super impressive. The sound quality is great. The buttons are not positioned in a way like with some other bluetooth earbud like things where the button is on the outside and to press it you have to shove it further into your ear for the button to press down. These buttons are on the front of the plastic piece so you don't press it further into your ear to get it to click. The fit in the case easy, they charge fast and last for a VERY long time. It doesn't feel like hard plastic sitting in your ear or wrapping around the top. The while color has held up through frequent use as well.

Amazing quality! The build feels premium and durable, and the sound is excellent with clear, rich audio and also noise cancellation works well. They stay securely in my ears even while running or playing sports, and they’re very comfortable to wear for extended periods. Highly recommended as I was impressed

Good quality sound for the price and super for workouts. Adjustable so they fit perfectly. Battery life is good so really happy with the product.

I think one of the best earbuds to wear during exercises n aerobics and music listeners ofcourse. Good vocals,base n treble and super comfortable.

Eccellenti. Gli archetti che impediscono la caduta delle cuffie sono un'opera d'arte, sono adattabili all'orecchio, molto comodi e danno aderenza delle cuffie all'orecchio stesso. Ho provato un paio di cuffie sempre ad archetto ma non essendo questo adattabili lasciava le cuffie distanti dal padiglione auricolare. Si sentono benissimo, bassi, medi ed acuti tutto giusto. Ancora una volta la Anker mi ha lasciato basito per il rapporto qualità prezzo. Bisogna prendere un po' la mano con i tasti perché sono fisici, questo però impedisce interferenze non volute. La riduzione del rumore esterno è poco efficace ma non tolgo una stella perché gli unici auricolari davvero efficaci nella riduzione sono le Bose che però costano 5 volte tanto.

Muito bom! Isola bastante, mas não faz milagre. A qualidade do som é ótima! E eu sou bem chato quanto a isso. No primeiro uso ficou bonitinho bem vedado, mas acho que a borracha dá uma trabalhadinha, talvez eu precise aumentar o diminuir de tamanho, vem várias junto. Mas só de saber que o fone não vai cair da orelha por nada, dá uma paz no coração. A duração da bateria tá ótima... Fiz uma carga quando chegou, já corri várias vezes 15 min no fim do treino e ainda não precisei carregar de novo. Recomendo! Pare de sofrer com os fones falsifiks
