Hello fellow head-fi members
Welcome to the review of Advanced Evo X Sports Wireless In-ear Monitors.
Disclaimer
This were a sample provided by Advanced team for my review. I am not affiliated with Advanced team in anyway or getting any financial assistance from them for my review.
Advanced team with its successful launch of budget friendly M4 and one of its kind (beast) Model 3, already has set high expectation among music lovers. I was quite excited to review Evo X and lets see the impression it leaves.

Unboxing
Advanced team has taken a minimalist approach for Evo X Packing. Nice and compact packing, with Evo X on the front and details on the backside. 5''X4'' inch box taking minimal space.
As usual Solid built Carry case etched with Advanced logo carrying Evo X and accessories safely in its tummy, Keeping her safe and secure.
What it contains?
As usual Advanced team is generous with accessories and has supplied some top notch accessories.
3 pairs of foam tips
3 pairs of silicone tips
1 carrying case
1 User manual
1 microUSB charging cable
Build Quality
Build quality is something which Advanced team has never compromised on and the tradition continues. The Premium carry case (the same as Model3) as stated on Advanced website does look and feel premium and makes sure Evo X is safe and secure in your gym bag,
Plastic/Rubber used to build in housing is top notch (glossy top for look and rubber bottom to avoid slips), Housings are color coded (as well as marked R and L inside) with Red for Right and blue for Left. Cables as usual solid with a cable adjuster.
Ease of Use
Hassle free pairing with my iphone 6 plus and wife's iphone 7+ (Thanks to wify for letting me use for phone for clicking pics and some of the calling).
All (multipurpose) controls of the headphone are located on right side (including the charging slot). Power Button located at the end of housing which doubles as call connect/disconnect controller is easily accessible during work out sessions (Tried it while biking and on tread mill). Volume control + Track Skips are easy to reach and operate. Single press skip the tracks and long press will increase or decrease the volume.
Something other manufacturers need to make a note of, As mentioned by fellow head-fi member b9scrambler skip tracks is quite commonly performed action by users than volume control (Once volume is set hardly we change)
Comfort
As soon as I unboxed, i removed the silicone tips and replaced with supplied memory foam tips without a second thought (My take memory foam is the way to go and never loved silicone tips). Something I admire of Advanced team's design team attention to detail and Ergonomics. I was skeptical about fit and comfort looking at the size of the housing (I am a regular wearer of glasses and only time I take of my glasses is while sleeping). Angled nozzle, light housing and ear hooks create a light and shallow fit which let the users keep it on for long without any fatigue.
When you buy a wireless headphones, the expectation is once you tuck them in ear, they do not popout or you don't have to keep adjusting them. Evo X passes this requirement in flying colors, Put them on and adjust the chord length you all set. No worries of ear buds popping out or you need to keep meddling with it to keep them on.
I tried Evo X while playing pingpong which involves lot of movement (unplanned) and did not find any trouble of adjusting them or fear of popping out.
Charging and Battery Life
Specs states once charged, Evo X is good for 5 hours of use. The performance matches with what is claimed.
The only drawback is it takes 2 hours for complete charging.
(Note: I am planning to use my Anker quick charge plug for next round of charging and see will there be any improvement)
Calling
Tried it for Regular calls, facetime and some international calls. Works perfectly fine. Neither me nor the caller had any issues hearing each other,
Isolation
These earbuds gives you a shallow fit which may not result in good isolation. As stated by b9scrambler this is something dependent on individuals view point. If you are outdoors (cycling or running) its always good to hear some outside sound so that you will be aware of surrounding.
Sound Quality
I used my iphone 6 plus + Spotify combination for most of my testing.
Sound signature of Evo X is more in line with its elder sibling Model 3.
Evo X offer punchier bass with primary focus on mid bass. Mids is where it excels, details offered by it may not be phenomenon but does a fantastic job. Vocals sound lively, Adele's hello was treat. Pharrell Willaims Happy sounds fabulous giving needed adrenaline rush.
Conclusion
Evo X is perfect mid range addition to Advanced earuds lineup. With perfect Ergonomics offering comfort and ease of use, paired with Punchy bass and detailed mid range they have created one of the best Sports bluetooth IEM's. They have earned a permanent place in my gym bag which I doubt will be replaced in future.
Kudos Advanced team, Hope you continue creating these small wonders

) on their products, including Model 3 and once anyone feel the headphones in their hand, they will understand why.
