Review on 🎧 Anker SoundBuds Sport NB10 Bluetooth Headphones - IPX5 Water-Resistant, Adjustable Neckband, Sport Earbuds with Mic and CVC 6.0 Noise Cancellation for Workouts by Bobby Lawson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If they don't stay in your ears, the sound quality doesn't matter!

I had high hopes for these things. My other Bluetooth headphones cost me around $30 and they had to compete with the $80 models. And they were from Anker, the brand I trust as the OEM for all my mobile peripherals. Unfortunately the end result was a disappointment to say the least! My ears are medium sized, but there's no way I've been able to achieve a seal with the extremely unorthodox ear tip design of this product. The "speaker" in headphones is incredibly large, requiring an earbud that starts out large and is at an odd angle to fit in the ear. I tried all three sizes of earbuds, but no matter how I attached them to the headphones, I just couldn't get the ear hooks to provide support, nor could I get a decent fit on the oddly shaped earbuds. For me they are unbearable. Are they testing any products at Anker? Out of interest, I bandaged them and held them in the ear canals with my hands. With good music, the clarity and especially the treble reproduction were convincing. But the volume was rather weak even at max. Just like the basses. I'm not sure how they work for phone calls because they've never been in my ears long enough to receive them. These headphones were not as described on their Revain page and for that reason I will do what I very rarely do: I will return them.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
