Here is our review of the Status Pro X.
From their website:
The Pro X is the next evolution in our wireless earbud lineup.
We maintained the celebrated hybrid triple driver acoustic system of the Between 3ANC and Between Pro, with some notable improvements: An enlarged 12mm dynamic driver, supported by two Balanced Armature drivers manufactured by Knowles, a leading producer of these precision-crafted specialty drivers.
We added high-resolution LDAC codec support, alongside a High Res Wireless Audio certification from the Japan Audio Society.
Additionally, we’ve “future-proofed” the Pro X with Bluetooth LE Audio support, enabling the LC3 codec and Auracast protocol.
But it’s not just sound quality where the Pro X takes a massive leap forward.
The Pro X are substantially smaller and ergonomically optimized, so they wear slimmer and sleeker in your ears, while maintaining a comfortable and secure fit.
Active Noise Cancelling and Transparency (Ambient Aware) Modes are radically improved, as is the companion app (available on iOS and Android), which allows full EQ customization, re-mapping of controls, FindMy support, and numerous other features to optimize your listening experience.
Massive R&D resources were dedicated to a key feature for wireless earbuds: call quality. We introduced Voiceloom AI Speech Enhancement, which leverages deep neural net training to filter out background noise during voice communications.
Inside and out, the Pro X are in a class of their own.

A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The Status Pro X is small and lightweight and easily fits into your pocket or bag. They also look good too!
When fully charged, the Status Pro X will last a good 24 hours – each full charge in the charging case gives 8 hours, although depending on the settings you use this could drop to around 5 or 6 hours per charge. The case can even be charged using wireless charging.
The earbuds themselves are vey comfortable, even for extended periods of time. You also get different size tips in the box so you can make sure you are using the most comfortable fit for your ears. They are also water resistant so you can get them a little wet without worrying too much.
Connected the Status Pro X to your device is really simple and takes only a few seconds.
Sound quality wise, the Status Pro X is very good and the active noise cancelling works very well, even in noisy environments, well that is other than very windy environments without making some settings changed.
The Status Hub app enables you to control a number of settings so that you can get the perfect sound for you, including changing the listening modes.
The Status Pro X is available now priced around £225 and is available in Black Alloy.
