Soundcore Sport X20 Review
Sporty Design and Fit
First up, the design of the Souncore Sport X20 is as the name implies— “Sporty”. For better grip and fit, it features a hook design that goes in pretty nicely and well for sport and gym enthusiasts. And don’t worry about the hook not fitting your ear, you can actually extend it by 4mm and rotate it by 30-degrees. But one thing, I don’t really fall into the “Gym” category, nor do I call myself a couch potato, but the Sport X20 never fell off while I did some casual running or a fun instance, chased by a dog.
Just that, the White shade I have can get dirty pretty easily, thanks to the dusty KTM air and my sweats. But that too is well handled by its IP68 rating. So, if you are really looking forward to getting one, you can go with the Black version, which should hide the dirt well.
Superb Audio
As a Soundcore product, my expectations were on the higher side, given how their premium Liberty TWS perform for their price. And it did quite well. By default, the audio feels energetic with 3D surround sound. I then ran a hearing test that took around 3 minutes and it became even better. I must say, the Soundcore Signature HearID technology works well for a personalized sound profile. Furthermore, the noise cancellation is also strong while you can long tap on either side of the bud to change the mode to Ambient and Normal.
And thanks to the six microphones, call quality was superb whether I was in a considerably crowded area or chilling in my room. Seems like the AI algorithm is also contributing on this side. So, I can say it does sound premium for a premium kinda price tag.
Battery Life and Others
Moving on, the battery life is also great on the Soundcore Sport X20. The official site claims a whopping 12 hours of backup on normal mode, but on practical usage, it can easily go on for 6 plus hours. Besides that, it runs on Bluetooth 5.3 and also supports multipoint connectivity. So, I felt pretty handy to switch back and forth between my smartphone and laptop.
Soundcore Sport X20 Conclusion:
Alright folks, although the price tag of 16,999 rupees seems a little way out of budget for most guys, the Sport X20 is actually worth the price. It delivers a well-rounded experience for fitness enthusiasts and casual users alike. Its sporty design ensures a secure fit, and the adjustable hooks add versatility. While the white variant may pick up dirt easily, the IP68 rating makes cleaning effortless. In terms of audio, the Sport X20 impresses with energetic sound, personalized tuning via HearID, and ultra-strong noise cancellation. Call quality is also excellent, thanks to the six-mic setup and AI enhancements.
