The Fhumsh A10 shrugs off gym sweat with IPX7

Sweat is what quietly kills cheap earbuds, and the Fhumsh A10 is built around keeping it out. The buds carry an IPX7 rating, with a waterproof mesh over the openings and a nano-coating on the parts inside. That is a clear jump from the IPX4 and IPX5 ratings common on budget stem buds.

IPX7 is the rating for a short dunk in fresh water, up to about a metre for half an hour under test conditions. In daily life it means a soaked running top, a rainy commute or a spray bottle at the gym will not trouble the A10.

Good places for a pair of A10s:

  • Treadmill and weights: sweat runs off the coated shell instead of into it.
  • Outdoor runs: rain and drizzle are covered, and the tips keep the buds seated.
  • Cycling commutes: the call mics are tuned for wind, more on that below.
  • Work from home: two-device pairing hops between a laptop meeting and phone music.
Keep the case dry. The rating is for the buds. Wipe them with a dry cloth before they go back in, because water on the charging pins is what causes charging trouble later.

At about 0.008lb, roughly 3.6 grams per bud, the A10 is light enough to stay put during jumping jacks once the right tip is on. The box holds gel tips in small, medium and large, so small ear canals are catered for as well. Swimming is still off the menu: Bluetooth does not travel through water, and chlorine or salt is harder on seals than rain.

Read each A10 bud's charge on the round LED case

Flip the A10 case over in your hand and the front shows three numbers' worth of news: how full the case is, and how much each bud has left, from 0 to 100 percent. A lot of budget cases only show the case itself, so seeing the left and right buds separately is a handy extra.

Fhumsh rates the A10 at up to 8 hours of playback from one charge, and 50 hours in total with the case. By those numbers the case holds around five more refills for the pair. A USB-C cable fills the case in about 1.5 hours.

A simple routine keeps the A10 topped up with almost no thought:

  1. Glance at the percentages each evening when you close the lid.
  2. If the case shows under a quarter, plug it in overnight.
  3. If one bud reads far lower than the other, check that it is sitting flat on its charging pins.
  4. Once a week, wipe the pins in the case with a dry cotton bud.

Fast charging helps on busy mornings. Even a short spell on the cable while you make coffee puts useful hours back into the case, and the percent readout shows the climb as it happens, so you never have to guess when it is safe to unplug.

Uneven bud percentages are usually a sign of habit, not a fault. Most people answer calls on one side, and that bud drains first. If a bud stops charging entirely, the case-light and charging fixes go over the likely culprits, and a silent bud that will not rejoin its partner is covered by the left-right reset.

Among the pairs

Where this pair lands

i12 TWS earbuds models by fit and case, September 2026. Highlighted: Fhumsh A10.

Clear A10 calls from a windy street or a laptop

The A10 puts ENC call noise cancelling on beamforming mics, which aim at your mouth and turn down the sound around you. Fhumsh says the system keeps calls clear in winds up to 25mph, the kind you meet on a bike or a bridge. The noise reduction works on your outgoing voice; what you hear is shaped by the tips.

ENC is not the same as ANC. Active noise cancelling quiets the world for the listener, and the A10 does not have it. The soft gel tips still block a fair amount of traffic and office chatter simply by sealing the ear.

What the A10 does well on calls and video:

  • Voice pickup: beamforming mics favour your voice over the room.
  • Two devices: Fhumsh lists dual-device pairing, so a laptop call and phone music can share the buds.
  • Low delay: a quoted latency under 0.05s keeps voices in step with lips on video.
  • Range: Bluetooth 5.3 reaches up to 15m, so you can walk to the kettle mid-meeting.

In your phone's Bluetooth list the buds usually appear as A10 Pro, the name printed on the box contents. Tap it once and the buds reconnect automatically after that. The phone and laptop pairing steps cover Windows and Mac too, and the touch patterns for answering and ending calls are on the tap cheat card.

To hear the mics for yourself, leave a voice memo on your phone while standing near a busy road, then play it back. If your voice sounds muffled, push the buds in a little further so the stem points toward your mouth.

The 13mm drivers handle music with a full, bass-forward sound once the tip seals properly. If songs sound thin, change the tip size before touching the equalizer.

Choose the A10 or the TAGRY X08 for everyday listening

The A10 and the TAGRY X08 look alike from across a room: soft tips, a stem, a case with digits. Where they differ is water, battery per charge and after-sales cover, and those three points decide which one suits you.

Warranty90 days5 years

Pick the A10 if sweat, rain and long single sessions come first. Pick the TAGRY X08 if you want Qi charging and a warranty that outlasts most phones.

Worth checking before the A10 goes in your basket:

  • Warranty length: 90 days is short, so test both buds, the case display and the mics in the first week.
  • Color: the A10 comes in black, which hides scuffs on the case well.
  • Fit style: it seals the ear. For the airy open fit of the classic i12, look at the KTGEE T08 instead.

Battery sizes are close enough that most people will never notice a difference day to day. Both cases last well over a week of hour-long commutes. The gap that shows up is per charge: the A10 goes about two hours longer before the buds need to rest in the case, which matters on a long flight, a full shift or a double workout.

Want a fresher Bluetooth 5.4 radio and bigger 14.2mm drivers on a similar sweat-proof build? The Btootos A90 Pro is the next pair to compare.

They usually appear as A10 Pro. Tap that name once and they reconnect on their own when taken from the case.

How long does the Fhumsh A10 battery last?

Up to 8 hours per charge and about 50 hours in total with the case. A full case charge over USB-C takes about 1.5 hours.

Does the A10 have noise cancelling?

It has ENC, which tidies up your voice for the caller. There is no active noise cancelling for music, though the gel tips block a fair share of outside sound.

What warranty comes with the Fhumsh A10?

Fhumsh lists 90 days, so check both buds, the case display and the mics soon after they arrive.
