Is the Soundcore Sport X20 worth the upgrade from the Soundcore Sport X10?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Soundcore Sport X10 to the Soundcore Sport X20 buys you 12.5 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in value (4.8 to 9.3), noise cancelling (5.3 to 8.0) and battery (6.6 to 8.9). On paper: battery life 8 h to 12 h, bluetooth 5.2 to 5.3 and multipoint pairing. The two sit at effectively the same price. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
