HAOYUYAN Wireless Earbuds, Sports Bluetooth Headphones, Review
The HAOYUYAN BX17 earbuds have one job: staying in your ears. For $24, they absolutely nail it with a hook design and IPX7 rating, making them a top pick for workouts, even if the sound is just okay.
The 30-Second Version
Buy these if you care more about your earbuds staying in than how your music sounds. For $24, they're the ultimate workout beaters that won't quit mid-squat.
Overview
Look, if you need a pair of earbuds that will absolutely, positively not fall out during a deadlift, these are your guys. The HAOYUYAN BX17 earbuds are built for one thing: staying put. The ear hook design is the main event here, and it works. Everything else—the sound, the battery, the noise cancellation—is secondary to that core mission of being a gym rat's best friend. They're not trying to be audiophile-grade; they're trying to survive your sweat and your burpees.
Performance
The numbers tell a clear story. In our database, these rank in the 99th percentile for social proof (people love 'em) and 93rd for connectivity, which is fantastic for a $24 pair. But the sound quality sits in the 47th percentile, which is about what you'd expect. The 14.3mm drivers pump out decent bass for a workout, but don't expect a nuanced soundstage. The real surprise is the ANC ranking in the 87th percentile. It's not Sony-level, but for blocking out gym noise, it's shockingly effective.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The ear hooks are a game-changer for workouts. They just don't fall out. 99th
- IPX7 waterproofing is legit. You can sweat buckets or get caught in the rain. 87th
- Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity is rock-solid and quick to pair. 83th
- Physical buttons are a win for gloved or sweaty hands. 77th
Cons
- Sound quality is just okay. Music lovers will be disappointed. 20th
- Battery life scores in the 11th percentile. 15 hours per charge is fine, but the '80-hour' claim relies heavily on the case. 27th
- Comfort scores low (40th percentile). The hooks are secure, not necessarily cozy for all-day wear.
- The LED screens on the case feel a bit gimmicky.

Value & Pricing
For $24? It's a no-brainer if your primary use is the gym or running. You're paying for the secure fit and waterproofing, and you're getting decent connectivity and passable ANC thrown in. You won't find a more secure fit at this price.
Price History
vs Competition
The most direct competitor is the Anker Soundcore P31i, which often hovers around $40. The Anker has better sound quality and Real-Time Adaptive Noise Cancelling, but its fit is more traditional. If you need absolute security, the HAOYUYAN's hooks win. If you want better music and can deal with standard ear tips, the Anker is worth the extra $15. The Nothing Ear (a) is in another league for sound and design, but it's also triple the price and not built for hardcore sports.

Common Questions
Q: Is the 80-hour battery life real?
It's real, but misleading. You get about 15 hours from the earbuds themselves. The '80 hours' is the total if you constantly recharge them from the case. For a typical gym routine, you'll only need to charge the case once a week.
Q: How good is the noise cancellation?
It's good for the price, great for drowning out gym clatter and street noise. Don't expect it to silence a crying baby on a plane, but it'll definitely help you focus on your workout.
Q: Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Probably not. The hooks are designed for security during movement, not all-day comfort. If you need earbuds for an 8-hour workday, look for something with a traditional in-ear design.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a primary pair of earbuds for music, podcasts, and calls, this isn't it. The sound quality is the weak spot. Go get the Anker Soundcore P31i instead. You'll get better audio and still have good noise cancellation for not much more money.
Verdict
We're giving these a strong recommendation for athletes and gym-goers on a tight budget. They excel at their core job: staying in your ears during intense activity. If that's your main concern, stop looking and buy these. If you want an all-day, everyday earbud with great sound, keep shopping.
