Is the Soundcore Sport X10 worth the upgrade from the Soundcore Sport X20?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Soundcore Sport X10 actually scores 12.5 points below the Soundcore Sport X20, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on value (9.3 to 4.8) and noise cancelling (8.0 to 5.3). Worth checking: battery life goes 12 h to 8 h and bluetooth goes 5.3 to 5.2. The two sit at effectively the same price. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
