I’m going to be an AirPods hater for a second. These used to be my only pair of wireless earbuds and I would use them for everything, including running. Now my ears are a little larger than most which means that the slightest turn or bump could knock them out of place. On more than one occasion, I’ve had one fall out my ear while on a run. My greatest fear was one day having it bounce on over to a sewer grate and fall right through. Thankfully that never happened, and now never will happen because I’ve stopped wearing them after swapping for something better for the task.

If you have similar problems and fears, what you need is a pair of earbuds that are built from the ground up for physical activity. These Soundcore Sport X20 earbuds by Anker are exactly that. They’re even on sale at the moment. Right now, you can grab your own pair for 30% off, taking the price down from $100 to just $70 for a limited time.

Flexible Fit

What makes the Soundcore Sport X20 earbuds right for running and other fitness workouts is their ear hook design. The earbuds don’t just wedge into the inside of your ear. These are equipped with adjustable ear hooks that can be extended and rotated for a comfortable, secure fit. They can each be rotated up to 30 degrees and extended up to four millimeters. Anker made them for all ear sizes and they will stay in place without feeling intrusive.

For a tiny pair of earbuds, these puppies do pack a punch. Soundcore employed its BassUp technology that allows for pulse-pounding sound to feed through the 11mm dynamic drivers.

These Soundcore Sport X20 earbuds  even support noise cancellation. This is great for the gym, being able to block out loud grunts and the banging of weights hitting the ground. I just would be careful not to use the feature when on road runs. It’s typically a good idea to be able to hear is a car is speeding up from behind you.

Since these are built with physical activity in mind, the Soundcore earbuds make use of a SweatGuard tech that is able to seal the internal components against damage from water, sweat, and dust. Don’t be afraid to work up a sweat or take them out on a run in the rain. Teh earbuds will hold up just find.
