Score: 81/100
SoundPEATS Air5 Pro
Score: 83/100Rankings
The white version of the SoundPEATS Air5 Pro mirrors its black sibling with the same high-resolution codec suite, AI-adaptive ANC, and lightweight design, though ANC usage shortens battery life and LDAC conflicts with multipoint.
The Soundcore Sport X20 (model A3968) is a sport-focused true-wireless earbud offering a secure, hook-based fit, adaptive ANC and up to 48 hours of total playback with its charging case. It combines Bluetooth 5.3, IP68-rated durability and app-driven sound customization for active users.

Professional reviewers would likely commend the Sport X20 for its industry-leading battery life, robust IP68 protection and sport-centric ear-hook design, positioning it as a top choice for active users. However, they would also point out the ambiguous water-rating, the sub-par ANC compared with flagship models, and the absence of wireless charging as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the earbuds for staying secure during intense workouts, lasting through long days without recharging, and delivering powerful bass. Common frustrations revolve around unclear water-resistance claims, occasional bulkiness of the ear-hooks, and occasional connectivity or fit issues.
Professional reviewers commend the Air5 Pro for packing premium features-high-resolution codecs, strong AI-adaptive ANC, low-latency connectivity, and a highly customizable app-into a budget-friendly package, while noting limited ANC-on battery life and bass-forward tuning.
Everyday users love the comfort, sound quality (especially after EQ adjustments), and effective ANC, but report short battery life with ANC active, fit stability issues, and incompatibility between LDAC and multipoint.
“Battery life with ANC is shorter than expected; users report needing midday charging.”
“Fit and stability: Some find the earbuds loose during workouts or require specific ear tips for a secure fit.”
