Overview
The Status Pro X is built for listeners who want powerful, detailed sound and a sturdy, confidence-inspiring fit. With its triple-driver acoustic system, hi-res codec support, and durable IP55 rating, these earbuds aim to deliver more than the basics — especially for active daily use.
Whether commuting, working, or working out, they’re designed to hold up and stay comfortable throughout the day.
Status Pro X Design & Build Quality
The Status Pro X has a bold, modern look and a slightly more substantial earbud shape compared to ultra-compact models. That added structure gives it a sturdy feel once seated in the ear.
The matte finish keeps things clean and professional. The charging case supports USB-C and wireless charging, and the buds are IP55-rated for dust and sweat resistance — making them great for everyday movement, travel, and gym sessions.
Who it’s perfect for: People who want earbuds that feel secure and durable on the move.
Fit & Comfort
Out of the box, the stock silicone tips offer a generally dependable fit for light activity, seated work, or short listening periods. However, like many earbuds, comfort can vary by ear shape — especially after longer wear or during exercise.
Most stock silicone tips — even on premium earbuds — can struggle with long-term comfort and stability.
There’s a simple upgrade we’ll cover later that can significantly improve both.
During extended testing, the Pro X remained comfortable, but some occasional readjusting was needed when walking briskly or moving more actively.
Sound Quality
This is where Status really shines. The triple-driver setup produces a lively, engaging signature that feels bigger than you’d expect for the size and price.
Bass carries real physicality — thick, punchy, and controlled rather than bloated. It leans fun over reference, but never overwhelms the mix. Hip-hop, electronic, and pop feel especially rewarding.
Midrange stays well-defined, keeping vocals forward and instruments clean in dense arrangements. Acoustic tracks and podcasts both benefit from this clarity.
Highs are smooth but present — avoiding the sharp peaks or sibilance that can cause fatigue over long sessions. Cymbals and strings retain detail without harshness.
With hi-res codec support, you can hear the extra polish in higher-quality streams — background textures and reverb tails become more noticeable, especially in well-produced genres like indie, R&B, and cinematic soundtracks.
👉 Why foam helps sound
When the seal is more consistent, bass depth increases and the noise floor drops — making details more audible without raising volume. It feels like unlocking a “full version” of the Pro X’s tuning.
Noise Isolation & Use in Real Life
Active noise canceling on the Pro X is strong enough to reduce everyday distractions — HVAC hum, light chatter, road noise. But like any ANC system, its success depends heavily on the physical seal.
With the stock silicone tips, passive isolation is serviceable for indoor work and walking around town — but louder environments can seep through easily.
With Comply Foam memory-foam tips installed:
Environment |
Improvement You’ll Notice |
|---|---|
Commutes / trains |
Far less rumble + clearer dialogue or vocals |
Open offices |
Chatter turned into a dull background hush |
Gyms |
Equipment clatter significantly reduced |
Outdoor activity |
Wind noise softened and less interruption |
That improved passive barrier means ANC doesn’t have to work as aggressively to keep things quiet — which results in:
Lower listening volume needed
Less fatigue over time
More space for details to shine
It’s the difference between managing environments and essentially dismissing them.
Battery Life & Controls
Battery life clocks in at around 8 hours per charge, depending on codec and ANC settings — with multiple top-offs available from the case. More than enough for a workday, travel day, or gym-plus-commute combo.
Touch controls are responsive, customizable, and easy to learn. Bluetooth connectivity was stable in testing across both iOS and Android devices.
Who Is the Status Pro X For?
You’ll love the Status Pro X if you’re someone who wants…
✔ Energetic sound with real depth
✔ Buds that feel secure while moving
✔ Battery + durability that handle daily life
✔ A reliable choice for commuting, gym use, and focus sessions
It’s a strong pick for students, active professionals, travelers, or anyone who wears earbuds for several hours a day.
🔍Where Comfort & Isolation Can Get Even Better
Silicone tips simply don’t conform perfectly to every ear shape. That can lead to:
Pressure discomfort over time
A seal that shifts during movement
More outside noise leaking in
That’s why memory-foam upgrades exist.
In our testing, replacing the stock silicone tips with Comply Foam tips made a clear difference:
– Better seal → fuller bass and clearer detail
– More stable fit during exercise or commuting
– Less noise intrusion → lower listening volume needed
– Reduced ear fatigue during long wear
If you like the Status Pro X already, this upgrade simply helps you get everything out of what they’re built to do.
What Could Improve in Future Versions
A slightly smaller footprint for very small ears
More tip fit variety included in the box
Incremental improvements in call clarity in chaotic noise
Nothing deal-breaking — just wish-list refinements.
🧠Final Thoughts
The Status Pro X brings together strong performance, secure comfort, and everyday durability in a package that fits active routines. They’re easy to enjoy straight from the box — especially if you love punchy bass and a stable fit.
For those who want the best possible comfort and focus, adding Comply TrueGrip™ TWo-220-C foam tips elevates the seal, sound, and all-day wearability in a way that feels like a real upgrade — not just a small tweak.
