Fit and stability

This is the most important difference between the two models.

Pump Air Epic features ear hooks that loop over the ear, providing added stability during workouts and high-movement activities. This design is especially helpful for users who want a locked-in fit during training sessions.

Pump Air X does not loop over the ear. Instead, it uses an in-ear design with stabilisers to help keep the earbuds secure during movement, without the feel of an ear hook.

If you prefer maximum physical security during workouts, Pump Air Epic may be the better option.

If you prefer a secure in-ear fit without ear hooks, Pump Air X may be more suitable.

Comfort and wearing experience

Pump Air Epic prioritises stability and security, with ear hooks designed to keep the earbuds firmly in place during activity.

Pump Air X offers a more traditional in-ear feel with stabilisers, which some users find more comfortable for mixed-use workouts and everyday listening.

Comfort preference varies depending on ear shape, activity type, and whether ear hooks are preferred.

Sound and noise control

Both models are designed to deliver energetic sound suitable for workouts and active listening.

  • Pump Air Epic includes Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), helping reduce background noise during gym sessions or focused listening.
  • Pump Air X also includes ANC, balancing noise reduction with a secure, fitness-focused fit.
  •  

Both are suitable for users who want immersive sound during exercise, with differences coming down to fit style rather than audio intent.

Which one should you choose?

Choose Pump Air Epic if you:

  • Prefer earbuds with ear hooks that loop over the ear

Choose Pump Air X if you:

  • Prefer a secure in-ear fit without ear hooks
