User is considering Soundcore Sport X20 for gym and running but is concerned about the long-term quality based on general perception. They seek improved durability and reliability for active use.
Hey everyone, Need some real-world advice before spending a lot of money. Use case: • Gym lifting 5x/week • Conditioning / running 2x/week • I wear glasses • iPhone user • Sweat a fair bit • Want good sound + stability Considering these right now: • AirPods Pro 3 • AirPods 4 (ANC) • Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 • Beats Powerbeats Fit • Sony WF-1000XM5 • Soundcore Sport X20 Concerns I’ve read about: • AirPods Pro 3 → static / crackling issues • Powerbeats Pro 2 → bulky, glasses interference • XM5 → not very secure for running • Beats Fit → expensive for what they offer • Soundcore → cheaper but unsure about long-term quality Main question: Which one is actually the best real-world option for lifting + some running, not just specs? Would love feedback from people who’ve used these long-term in the gym.
