Honor Sport Pro review: Quality budget earphones for your workout sessions



As phone manufacturers gradually do away with headphone jacks, wireless earphones have become the new normal. Chinese electronics giant Honor's Sport Pro headphones follow the same trend, albeit with a special focus on fitness enthusiasts. Priced at Rs 3,999, it is available in Phantom Red, Phantom Grey, and Phantom Purple colour options.
Design
One of the first things you notice about the Sport Pro is that its ear tips resemble Apple Earpods. The silicone ear tips are uniquely shaped which means you need to twist them slightly in ear after putting them on. But once that is done, it's a snug fit. They also feel really soft and easy on the ear, mainly because they need not be inserted too deep.
The earbuds have magnetic outside ends which, when stuck together, automatically switch off the headphones. To reconnect, you can simply pull the ends apart again. The neckband is light and comfortable.

Since the earphones are geared for fitness enthusiasts, minute details have been well taken care of. For example, the ear tip design and fit are such that there is virtually no risk of the earphones falling off during an exercise session. The cable is braided so it doesn't get tangled easily. On the right-hand side of the cable is a three-button control panel designed in a way that you can easily distinguish the volume buttons from the power key. The earphones are also IPX5-rated, so there is no serious danger from sweat or water splash. Overall, the build is practical and durable.
