My 5 star review is based on the very reasonable purchase price of the Soundcore Spirit X wireless earphones.Background = for decades I have always been into sound/music. I always researched and purchased quality equipment. Most times this equipment was well priced high end equipment.I know sound and what its supposed to sound like, the ideal is to have the equipment reproduce as close as possible to what was recorded in the recording studio as this was how the artist intended their work to be presented.Anyway, new iPhone, Apple Music Subscription and more time on my hands to kick back a little and get back into this stuff.After reading up hundreds of different reviews and products I narrowed down the list to a select few.The Soundcore Spirit X was on that list and here is my review;Ready? All I can say is WOW!The Soundcore Spirit X in my opinion is a gem of a find. This is the one I kept after trying quite a few earphones.For the price, you get a wonderful sound, fantastic battery life and to me, nice build quality.I held off writing this review for a couple weeks, making sure of everything I was going to write and also to maybe pick up on a flaw or two. I just cant find any, so instead of rambling on I will highlight my thoughts.Pro-*Seamless blue tooth paring/operation and range. Just wonderful, I can walk around my 3000 sq ft home and never an issue losing my bluetooth signal.*Battery life is fantastic, I struggle to remember when I last charged them, I think only once in two weeks and many times I use these if I wake up during the night, Ill lay in bed listen to music with them on, fall asleep and wake up later with them still playing.* Comfort for my ears are terrific, I use the larger set of supplied silicone tips, they are very comfortable, in fact, really the Soundcores were the only earbuds where I did not feel any pain, as we know earbuds really need to fit right for proper sound and with others, I felt like I really had to push them in hard to get that sound, not so much with the Soundcore Spirit X.* Controls, for me, worked perfect paired with my iPhone XR, allowing me to skip songs, raise and lower volume. When powering up the earbuds, they seamlessly connect without a thought, when I turn them off, they seamlessly turn off my iPhone music.*** Sound! Wow! I am soooo impressed, nice balanced sound, thank goodness, sometimes its hard to get good sound at a lower cost, many manufacturers boast bass at the cost of the midrange and sometimes the treble on cheap equipment.Well if you truly want to hear nice clear vocals and instruments in the midrange, boasting bass too unreasonably kills the experience. The Soundcore Spirit X to me sounds much more accurate like a much more expensive product of the name brands many of us know.I personally feel, the SoundCore sounds just as good or the same or better then products 4 and 5 times its price.Cons -In this price range, I have to admit and this is true. I can not for the life of me think of anything negative to say about this product. What more can I ask for? A well made product with great sound, great bluetooth, great performance, I guess only time will tell reliability but that goes the same for products 5 times the cost.Summary and other thoughts-I highly recommend this product (in case you haven't noticed*L*)Well priced, I love having a wire from one earphone to the other, its so much easy yo manage and not lose anything, it also eliminates issues you read about regarding earphones/earbuds without a wire that dont connect properly etc. The wire also is great when you want to pull them off for a second or two or when your laying in bed, reach onto your night stand to put them on, it doesnt turn into a project.Then, last and besides the sound, battery life that will blow you away compared to true wireless earbuds, never would I settle for less then 12 hours in any device, at 18 hours I am well covered.Last thing I want to do is run out of a charge.
