Soundcore Sport X10, analysis with price and features

TWS headphones are taking a qualitative step now that their use and functionalities have been democratized for the vast majority of users. This is how Soundcore, Anker's brand dedicated to audio, has decided to bet on a new model focused on the most athletic, most radical users, those who seek audio quality, durability and, of course, the trust of a recognized brand.

This is how the new Soundcore Sport X10 are, ultra-resistant headphones, with 32 hours of autonomy and hybrid noise cancellation. Discover them with us, as well as all their main features and functions that will make you make a decision about it.

Materials and design

These headphones, in essence, have a design that will be quite familiar to all of us. The differential fact is that they have a silicone hook, very well implemented, and that allows you to use them without any fear while doing sports. This silicone earmuff can be easily moved and allows a kind of folding that allows us to save a lot of space in the box. In this way they become quite compact headphones as far as the box case is concerned.

• Weight: 4,4 grams each earphone
• You like them? You have them for less than 100 euros on Amazon.

At least, of this type, they are the most compact that I have been able to test. They are made of matte plastic, something common in the brand and that helps us to better maintain its external appearance. We are going to be able to acquire them in two colors, black (like the unit that we show in this analysis) and white.

In the box we are included four sets of ear pads that are added to the set that are already installed and a USB-A to USB-C cable to easily charge the case. In addition, on the front of the box we have an indicator with three LED lights, with intervals of 33% autonomy to know when we should make the next charge. In the back is where both the USB-C port and the Bluetooth connection button are hidden.

Technical characteristics

We find some headphones that offer a 10mm driver for each of them, this gives us the possibility of obtaining response frequencies between 20Hz and 20kHz for a total impedance of 32Ohms.

To play music uses the latest technology Bluetooth 5.2 that offers a range of 10m so that we almost never disconnect. These headphones have IPX7 resistance, so we can wet them without fear and use them in our workouts.

• Body-Moving Bass: To interpret our movements and adjust the bass of the music to suit our needs.

It should be noted that the resistance, how could it be otherwise, refers only to the headphones and in no case to the box, which we must take care of like any other electronic device.

As you might have imagined, these Anker's Soundcore Sport X10 have ANC, that is, active noise cancellation, in this case hybrid. To do this, he uses six different microphones. Likewise, we have an integrated gesture control and a button that will allow us to:

• Double press: Play or answer calls
• Triple press: Skip song
• Long press: Reject the call
• Double long press: Activate or deactivate game mode

This aforementioned game mode will allow us to greatly reduce latency, for this it uses a less aggressive sound processing.

Autonomy and sound quality

The headphones have 55mAh battery each, accompanied by 540mAh for the charging box. This will give us a total of 32 hours if we include the box charges, or at least 8 hours of autonomy with a full charge. This will obviously depend on the use we are giving the headphones.

However, our results in the analysis are very close, with alterations of about half an hour depending on the volume, the conditions of the noise cancellation, the use of the microphone and all this type of variables that we use to test products of this type.

Regarding the sound quality:

• Medium and high: We find a good representation of this type of frequencies, with the ability to alternate between one and the other, dynamism and above all fidelity with respect to what we expect to hear.
• Low: In this case, Jabra has not sinned "commercial" offering remarkably personalized bass.

Sound core app

For all this and more we have the application of Soundcore (Android / iPhone) with a multitude of functionalities and a good user interface. In this application we can adjust the reactions to the touches we make on the headphones to interact with their touch controls, as well as change some connection settings and preferences with the rest of the devices. How could it be otherwise, we have an equalization system with which we can play to end up opting for our favorite version.

It is important to use the Soundcore application as it allows us to carry out not only customizations, but also software updates that can be vital for performance throughout the life of the product.

Editor's opinion

These headphones have a moderate price below 100 euros on Amazon and also on the official website of Anker. In this way, we find ourselves a very interesting alternative, especially if we take into account that Soundcore is owned by Anker and its fame precedes it, with more than 20 million users around the world, we find well-tuned devices, with an international guarantee. and above all that they assure us a quite habitual success.
