X-Sport AM61 (AM61) Wireless Bluetooth Earphone Aurora Blue Review
Introduction
The X-Sport AM61 wireless earbuds, boasting a sleek Aurora Blue finish, promise a compelling blend of comfort, performance, and durability. Designed specifically for sports and fitness enthusiasts, these in-ear headphones aim to deliver a stable connection, impressive battery life, and superior sound quality – all while remaining lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. I’ve spent the past few weeks putting the AM61 through its paces, and this review details my findings.
Features
The AM61 packs a surprising amount of features into its compact design. Beyond the stylish Aurora Blue color, key highlights include its 11mm large-size dynamic driver, a micron-level composite vibrating diaphragm for enhanced audio fidelity, and water resistance for those sweaty workouts. The Type-C charging port is a welcome modern addition, and the claimed 8-11 hour battery life is a significant selling point.

Performance
The sound quality of the AM61 is surprisingly impressive for its price point. The bass is deep and punchy, without overpowering the mids and highs. I found the audio clarity excellent, even at higher volumes. The 11mm driver and composite diaphragm truly deliver on their promise of superior audio with minimal distortion. I tested them during various activities, including running, weightlifting, and cycling, and the fit remained secure and comfortable throughout. The connection was consistently stable, with no noticeable dropouts during my testing period. Battery life easily exceeded the advertised 8 hours, often lasting closer to 10 hours on a single charge. The Type-C charging is fast and convenient.
However, there’s room for improvement. While the water resistance is beneficial, full submersion wasn’t tested and is not recommended. The touch controls, while responsive, could be more intuitive; occasionally, I accidentally triggered the wrong function. Also, the fit, while generally secure, might not be universally comfortable for everyone.
Pros & Cons
- Excellent sound quality with deep bass and clear highs
- Secure and comfortable fit (for most users)
- Long battery life (exceeding advertised time)
- Stable Bluetooth connection
- Water resistant design
- Convenient Type-C charging
- Stylish design
- Touch controls could be more intuitive
- Fit may not be perfect for all ear shapes
- Water resistance not tested beyond splashes
Final Verdict
The X-Sport AM61 (AM61) wireless earbuds deliver exceptional value for their price. The combination of superior sound quality, long battery life, secure fit, and water resistance makes them an excellent choice for sports and fitness enthusiasts. While minor improvements to the touch controls and perhaps a wider range of ear tip sizes would be welcome, these shortcomings don’t significantly detract from the overall positive experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend the X-Sport AM61 to anyone seeking a reliable and affordable pair of wireless earbuds for their active lifestyle.
