Well, it has been an adventure. For the money, the X20 Sport is the first wireless IEM to truly wow me after trying several other highly regarded options under $100, including the A40 and Liberty 4NC.These fit very comfortably and securely, I have yet to have them fall out of my ears. I bought them for active outdoor use. I was first concerned they would be awkward while wearing glasses, but it didn't take long to know this wasn't a concern at all. They fit my ears most securely with the hook cradled inside my outer ear lobe edge, not over the front of the ear as it is commonly shown in pictures. Works fantastic this way for my ears; they aren't going anywhere! I also use them over the ear lobe for casual listening; still no issue using with glasses, and they fit so well it's like they are not there at all. These are very light IEMs. ANC works great too; not as well as others I have tried, but still very respectable and much appreciated.The A40 buds were fantastic... at first. I loved their compact form factor and overall sound signature. I actually preferred them over the Liberty 4NC. However, they had persistent connectivity issues/pauses while music was playing. I REALLY wanted to keep them, but this ended up being too annoying and eventually a deal-breaker. They also fell out of my ears more than once while working, so this was also discouraging.The more expensive and highly regarded Liberty 4NC's also had impressive sound quality and were feature packed, even had LDAC like the A40's for better sound. But the stem design was clunky, and I just could not get them to fit right, no matter what I tried. The touch sensitive controls were also annoying to use at times, but not a big deal. But I could never get them to fit right into my ears without the stems being in an awkward position. Note: I did not try using different earbud tips, this may have made a difference, but I still returned them as again, they just did not fit securely enough for active outdoor/physical work.Enter the X20 Sport. Well then. In retrospect, I really should have just ordered these first before the A40 and 4NC, considering they are specifically made for active use. However, I was sold on the others based on all the positive YouTube reviews and customer ratings, so I tried those first. I wanted great sound quality, comfort, and overall usability while prioritizing audio performance.Sound quality is on par if not better than with the A40s in my opinion, these can be some very respectable musical earbuds with the proper EQ settings and even more so with upgraded tips. As others mention, these come with a very bass/mid-bass heavy sound, but can get tamed (some) by adjusting the app EQ. They fit fantastic, sound fantastic, perform fantastic for the money. These are definitely keepers, they are exactly what I was wanting. I wouldn't call these "audiophile" but that's not the point; any Bluetooth IEM will not sound as good as wired. But these, at least for me, provide a very respectable listening experience in situations where regular wired IEMs just can't be used.The included silicone tips are... ok... but I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading them for better fit and sound. Foam tips are fantastic for noise isolation/ANC and secure fit. But for the best sound quality, comfort, overall ANC effectiveness, I do prefer well regarded premium silicone replacements.There are TONS of earbud tips to choose from; just be sure to find those that will not only fit the X20 but also fit its charging case if that is a big priority. Spinfit W1's, for example, will fit on the X20s and sound AMAZING to me; they eliminate the muddy/boomy sound verses stock tips and improve the audio quality significantly. They also are amongst the most comfortable tips I have tried. But you'll need to take them off the earbuds every time you put them back into the charging case. Some people will I'm sure dislike this, but the sound performance improvement is very well worth the extra effort IMO.If you are looking for the absolute best option for sound quality and comfort, try Divinus Velvet tips (both wide bore and standard). Not only are they the best I've tried on the X20 for overall sound quality, they also can fit into the charging case using the smaller sizes. Wide bore tips tend to accentuate treble and clarity, the regular to narrow-bore tips tend to enhance bass frequencies.JVC Spiral Dot++ (and its previous variants) are also easy recommendations. These do a fantastic job at smoothing the sound profile throughout all frequencies, making for a very smooth, easy to listen to experience for longer listening sessions. Like the Velvets, these are very comfortable as well.There are plenty of other tips I haven't mentioned or haven't tried. For example, I have yet to try the infamous Final Type-E. Honestly, this is my very first experience with wireless IEMs in general, let alone IEM tip rolling. But without a doubt, just a simple tip swap can make a massive difference in the IEM sound experience and fit/comfort. These are great wireless earbuds for anyone who leads an active lifestyle and also enjoys great sound quality and ANC benefits. Highly recommended.NOTE: As with all wireless IEMs, these have a limited lifespan which is ultimately determined by the battery health. To get the most out of your wireless IEMs, only charge them when needed. Good advice is to NOT store them in the charging case, instead try to keep the battery power around 60-80% or lower while in use. If wanting a full charge, let the get to 100% and then remove them from the charging case. Keep them stored outside the case in between listening sessions and charge them just before using. This will help to extend the life of the lithium batteries in that are in the IEMs. They are not replaceable.I'll continue to update as I feel needed, I hope this information helps anyone that is considering these. I wouldn't write such a long, detailed review if I wasn't truly pleased. I was not paid or compensated, just my honest review and opinion.

Ok ill start by saying i love love these! I have purchased many over the ear buds including the expensive Beats ones. The beats lasted about a yr and started to get glitchy and not connect or wouldnt ring when i had the left one in. So i got these and boy im glad i did. If you’re on the fence just get them. I got the sport x20. They are super lightweight and the handle over the ear is adjustable so you can customize the length if you want it longer or shorter. I make it shorter when i wear my glasses because the curve on my glasses around the ear fits better. This in itself is worth it. I dont know of any others that do this. The handle is super soft and flexible. And alot thinner not bulky. The ear piece is made so it fits in your ear but doesnt push on the surrounding areas so its comfortable and doesnt hurt after a few hrs like the others. It comes with several size ear attachments so you get the right fit. The button on the top is customizable so you decide what you need it to do. This is done in the app. Once you download the app you can do so many amazing things. I would start by doing the fit/sound test. This customizes the way YOU hear music. It will take you through a series of tests to make sure you have them in correctly and then onto how they sound. It plays a series of high and low pitch sounds and you choose when you can hear the sound based on adjusting the volume. Then it moves on to the sound quality and plays a song and you choose which sound you like better A or B. Kinda like going to the eye dr. After you go through all the choices youre left with your version of the song based on your perfect preference. So its not only customizing the equalizer but its perfectly set for YOUR preference and hearing ability. No others do this either that i know of. When its done it gives you your result and the original so you can compare the difference. And its amazing. They also have another feature i love. The noise canceling and “static” sounds. You can adjust this. I have a weird aversion to repetitive annoying noises so this is perfect if i need to block out noise and have pure quiet. Like when my son plays his games and is yelling at them. I just block him out with these. And it is deafening. Almost too quiet. Would be perfect for people who need to sleep in total quiet. There is a normal mode which allows you to hear some noise but mostly the ear buds. Then there is another mode that allows you to basically turn them off and hear all environment noise. And you can customize each ear bud to do different things. So they dont both have to do the same thing. Also another feature unique to these. There is a feature in the app called breath. It will take you through a series of breathing patterns with different types of music and count you down based on if you want to relax recharge meditation whatever. And you can customize this as well how many second you hold or breath in or out. You can also just play various types of relaxing sounds if you just need noise. Like rain or crickets or a rooster with birds chirping there are a few to pick from. This would be good if you’re flying and want to take a nap and drown out noise on the plane. You can see the battery level in the app too. The case is small and not bulky. Uses a ctype charger. I plug my case into my laptop with USB end and let the case charge while i work. The case is easy to open too and has a push button instead of just a slit that you have to pull apart. My boyfriend says he can hear me really good on these too and they dont sound muffled like some can. And i hear him good too. You can also change the sound versus calls or music playing if the music version makes the calls too “basey” i like base in my music so i switch this up at times if he is in an environment that makes him too deep or muffled and it blocks out his background noise. Kinda like a reverse voice isolation. But im controlling it on my end. I cant say enough about these. They are so many things in one. For the price what it is im shocked. There is also a website with all of their products on it. I will be getting several more of these babies for xmas gifts. My mom will love them for her tv and ipad. Get them. You wont regret it.
