LANDIBO Y10

The LANDIBO Y10 has absurd battery life, top of the charts at the 96th percentile, and it's dirt cheap at $20. But the build quality is flimsy, the neckband flops around, and sound is mediocre. Buy it for the battery, not for the audio.

Battery life is the star here, no contest. With a 100-hour case rating and 50 hours of claimed playback, this thing outlasts nearly everything in our database. Comfort is also solid, landing in the 73rd percentile, and the IPX7 rating means sweat and rain won't kill it. But sound quality is a weak spot at the 29th percentile, and the mic is just okay at 68th. Connectivity is middle of the pack with Bluetooth 5.2, and the build quality is where things really fall apart, sitting at the 34th percentile. The neckband lacks rigidity, the wires are loose, and several owners report the buttons are programmed backwards.

Stacked against the Soundcore P31i or EarFun Air Pro 4+, the Y10 wins on battery life and price, but loses everywhere else. The Soundcore and EarFun both offer better sound, better build quality, and actual ANC, which the Y10 only pretends to have with its noise reduction mic. The Anker Space A40 is in a different league for sound and features, but costs more. The JLab JBuds Pods ANC and Baseus Bass BP1 Pro are closer in price and offer more balanced packages. If you want a neckband specifically, the Y10 is a budget pick with one killer feature. If you want good earbuds, look elsewhere.

At $20 in the US, the Y10 is hard to argue with if battery life is your top priority. You're getting top-tier endurance for pocket change. But the value story gets murkier in Europe, where prices range from EUR 47 to EUR 65 depending on the vendor. That's a big spread, and at the higher end you're paying triple the US price for the same flimsy build and mediocre sound. If you're in Europe, shop around, the cheapest EUR 47 listing is the only one that makes sense. At EUR 65, you're in territory where better-built options exist.

The LANDIBO Y10 is a neckband-style pair of wireless earbuds aimed at gym rats and runners who don't want to fuss with a charging case. The headline feature is the battery, and it's a monster. LANDIBO claims 50 hours of playback, and our battery score puts it in the 96th percentile, which is basically the top of the charts for this category. You could realistically go a week or more between charges.

But here's the thing: the rest of the package is a mixed bag. Sound quality is mediocre, the build feels flimsy, and users complain the neckband flops around like a wet noodle. For around $20 in the US, it's a cheap way to get insane battery life, but you're making real compromises elsewhere.

Skip the Y10 if you care about sound quality or build. The sound is in the 29th percentile, and the neckband is so floppy that multiple owners report it sliding off when they bend over. If you want earbuds that feel solid and sound good, spend a bit more on the Soundcore P31i or EarFun Air Pro 4+. Also skip if you're in Europe and seeing prices above EUR 50, you're overpaying for what this is.

The LANDIBO Y10 is for one specific person: someone who wants a neckband-style pair of earbuds with battery life that just won't quit, and doesn't care much about sound quality or build. If you're a runner or gym-goer who forgets to charge things, this is a cheap insurance policy. But if you want earbuds that sound good, feel solid, and don't flop around your neck, you'll be disappointed. The battery is the only reason to buy this, and for $20, that might be enough.
