Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“used it for quite sometime, one of my fav earphone but the casing on the outer ear started to come off, but it was a solid earphone. get a casing as soon as you got it as the transparent case can be scratched off quite easily. i am now using anker soundcore sport x20, since i usually use earphone to run”— averycuriouspigeon on Reddit
“Depends which one you prefer, if I'm inside I use the soundcore sport x20 but when I'm outside I use the earfun openjump”— Itchy_Willow_1140 on Reddit
“[these are the one I bought "Soundcore Sport X20 by Anker, True-Wireless Workout Earbuds, Rotatable and Extendable Ear Hooks, Noise Cancelling, Deep Bass, IP68 Waterproof, Sweatproof, Dustproof, 48H Play, Sport Earbuds for Gym"](https://a.co/d/5K3ng5J)”— Belovedmessenger108 on Reddit
“I have an Android. The setting is in "Connected devices" > "Saved devices" > "soundcore Sport X20".”— platyhelminthes_ on Reddit
“The Earfuns are my favorite for music. The AZ80s are my favorites for day to day use, including phone calls and transparency mode. What I've learned is, the difference between the really high dollar options and mid-priced ones is much smaller than you would expect.”— Radykall1 on Reddit
“I got the Pixel Buds A-series and they're amazing. Obviously no ANC but they're very comfy. I got the Soundcore Sport X20 for the gym, I haven't bit tried then though. If the price comes down a little later on I'll probably get the Pixel Buds Pro 2 because of that flange, but for now that'll do”— coffeefuelledtechie on Reddit
“If you use both soundcore sport x20 buds always, not a problem, but if you think you might only use one or want to do everything from a single bud, the PBP still has it the soundcore beat.”— njfan9 on Reddit
“Hard to tell, but from ear feel they go in slightly less than airpods pro, and the same as powerbeats pro do. I could probably move down a tip size for a tigher fit, but the ones I use are fine.”— SpiderMastermind on Reddit
