I have a pretty simple question about an earphone.

So I'm looking for a true wireless earphone with long battery life (without recharging in the dock), under $80 and stable enough for working out.
I'm not willing to spend more because... well, I've had three separate earphones for working out and they've broken for three different reasons. I'm hoping that this wouldn't break so easily because it's truly wireless.

I've found the Anker Soundcore Spirit X2 to be a good option, but I am a bit skeptical.
Look at the 4-Star review of this product in Amazon
Although it is only a single review that states these problems and that some of the points are sketchy, some of the hidden-feature points are plausable... It's sometimes cheaper to pull the hardware from their more expensive products and lock features away through software to make sure the product doesn't compete with their more expensive products.

What do you think? Are there better alternatives to the Spirit X2 that fits my bill?

How long is long life? Need transparency, anc, ipx7? Any known fit issues, small ears, large canals, etc?

Lots of info here:

Ah, thanks for the link! I'll take a look at it.

Oh, and about the specs,
- the life should be 7+ hours (if possible)
- Waterproofing definitely necessary
- ANC and Transparency not needed
- No real fit issues. Though, I would want it to hold on to my ears.

Not listed on amazon, but the AliExpress mpow official store shows they are ipx5.
