Third-party reviews

What customers like about Audio-Technica ATH Sport10

  • Affordable price point
  • Excellent sound definition in mid to upper frequencies
  • Good instrumental and vocal audio separation
  • IPX5 sweat and water resistance ideal for workouts
  • Lightweight construction weighing only 7 grams
  • Secure fit provided by the loop/ear-hook design
  • Comes with multiple sizes of both standard and ridged ear tips
  • Highly durable plastic build quality
  • Tangle-free asymmetrical cable design

What customers don't like about Audio-Technica ATH Sport10

  • Severely lacking in low-end bass response
  • Uncomfortable for long-term use and can cause earaches
  • Cable length from the split point is awkwardly short and annoying
  • Poor passive noise isolation from ambient surroundings
  • Difficult to achieve a snug fit for some ear shapes
  • Lacks a built-in inline microphone for phone calls

Verdict

The Audio-Technica ATH-SPORT10 is a lightweight, wired in-ear headphone designed specifically for active use, featuring a secure ear-hook design and an IPX5 waterproof rating that allows them to be washed after workouts. Technically, it is equipped with 8.8mm dynamic drivers, delivering a frequency response of 20 – 20,000 Hz, a sensitivity of 105 dB/mW, and a low impedance of 17 ohms, making it easy to drive with standard mobile devices. Its primary advantages include its exceptionally light weight of approximately 7g (excluding the 1.2m asymmetrical tangle-free cable) and the inclusion of two eartip styles: standard for sound isolation and ridged for ambient noise awareness. However, notable drawbacks include a lack of integrated controls or a microphone for calls, and some users have reported relatively weak bass performance and a fit that may not be comfortable for all ear shapes.
