Sweat buckets with these on and they’ll not only keep playing but also stay locked on to your ears because of the hooks. They’re not necessarily swimming earbuds, and you shouldn’t take them into salt water unless you’re going to rinse and dry them thoroughly afterward, but their durability is peace of mind for the gym or out on a run. The bottom line is you shouldn’t worry about lounging in a pool or sitting in a tub with these on. The IPX7 rating is foundational to what the Sport X10 are all about, letting you submerge them down to 3 feet for up to 30 minutes. It took me several times to remember which way to rotate them so I could put them back in the case, but I never ran into any connectivity issues when slotting them in. I found I could get a good seal either way, and you may draw the same conclusion. You don’t have to do it that way, but it is worth trying first in case it gives you a better seal for your inner ear. Anker suggests placing the earbud with the tip in your inner ear (the concha) first and then wrapping the hook around your ear to secure everything in place. They’re also pretty malleable, so whether or not you feel your ears are big for earhooks, you’re less likely to run into an issue with the Sport X10. The hooks rotate up to 210 degrees from their initial fixed position in the case, meaning they can fit well for a wide variety of ears. Pull them out and rotate the hook to expand their reach and make them ready to anchor onto your ears.

Look at the earbuds in their case, and you notice how they wrap around the earbuds themselves. The earhooks stand out more because Anker designed them to articulate to varying degrees.
