Prime Day Deal: Last Chance to Get Anker’s Soundcore Sport X20 Earbuds at Its Lowest Price

Don’t miss this record-low Prime Day price on the Anker Soundcore Sport X20 wireless earbuds, CNET’s top-value running earbuds with hooks.

A good pair of sports earbuds is a blessing for gym goers and runners alike, but why pay full price when Prime Day is here? For a secure and sweat-resistant pair, we like the Anker Soundcore Sport X20, which once earned a spot on our list of the best running earbuds, before being replaced by a newer model. There are only a few hours left on Prime Day and right now is your last chance to grab this and other Prime Day headphone deals on sale. On Amazon, the Anker Soundcore Sport X20 wireless earbuds are 34% off at $53, down from their normal price of $80.

The hook design makes them extra secure, which means they excel when it comes to workouts, whether you’re running around, doing burpees or lifting weights. They’re also IP68 waterproof, sweatproof and dustproof, and they promise up to 48 hours of battery life. Throw in the excellent sound quality and comfort and you’ve got a great set of earbuds that are sure to make your ears happy and your music sound good.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

They are currently available in three colors: green, black and white.

Why this deal matters

Currently $53, this is a record-low price on Amazon for these quality earbuds. We’re also happy to report that all three colors (black, white and green) are the same price. And of course, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can get fast, free shipping.

While this is a great deal, it isn’t the only one we’ve found on headphones for Prime Day. And if you’re more of an Apple person, there are some good deals on Apple AirPods and Beats headphones to be had on Prime Day.
