If you want to stay in your ears, you can either use wing tips to anchor them in place or use a wraparound ear hook. The Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds are being used by the company. The X10s have a bass-forward sound signature and up to eight hours of continuous battery life. They are currently available in either black or white.

The ear hook can be adjusted to make sure the earbuds don't fall out during vigorous workouts. The earbuds weigh less than the Powerbeats and others.

The Soundcore X10 earbuds are designed to be heavy on bass out of the box, but you can choose from over 20 other preset if you prefer something more balanced. The X10s have a noise cancellation feature that helps eliminate background noise if you run or exercise outdoors. There are situations where you need to amplify your surroundings.

The X10s can be rinse under a faucet or water fountain after a workout, and with a total of six microphones on board, they seem confident they will handle voice calls well.

You are missing out on features like wireless charging, in- ear detection, and other extras that cost a higher price. They aren't a match for the Powerbeats Pro or other higher end fitness buds. The earbuds have two hours of playtime after just 10 minutes of charging.

The X10s should deliver energetic, gym- ready sound at a solid value based on the performance of other Soundcore buds. Even if your workout is intense, the ear hooks should keep them where you want them.
