X-1 Audio Momentum Ultra-Light Sport Headphones {Review}

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.





As a gym enthusiast, I'm always looking for the latest and greatest technical gear to accommodate my workout. Fortunate for me, I came across what looks like an amazing, comfortable and gender specific headphone. 





About X-1 Audio
{source: x-1.com}

With humble beginnings as a graduate student project in southern California, H2O Audio evolved to X-1 Audio, quickly grew to become the foremost leader in waterproof, weatherproof and sweatproof headphones, cases and accessories for aquatic athletes. With over a decade of consistent technological innovation including 7 registered patents, the original waterproof sound company has evolved to the next level as X-1, providing audio solutions for a broad spectrum of athletes across many disciplines. 


After a decade spent working alongside the most demanding athletes, X-1 arrived at the perfect fit solution, offering 6 styles of headphones and up to 8 ear tip sizes to ensure that products are comfortable and fit securely during rigorous activity.

Function and Fit

X-1 touts that the Momentum Ultra Lights provide:
  • Ability to Give or Answer a Siri Command
  • Phone Controls
  • Music, Audio Books & Video Controls
  • Sweatproof + Rinsable - PX Rating - IP4
  • Secure Fit for Athletes
The earbuds come with 8 different interchangeable ear tips, so you are bound to find one that fits snugly in your ear. One size does not fit all and the Momentum Ultra-Lights know that and accomodates perfectly.


After a couple of weeks of runs, spin rides and strength sessions, they still work - and perfectly at that. The sound is just as good as day one and there is no distortion from sweat/moisture. 

I've thrown them around, jostled them into a ball in my gym bag and with the unique braided style of cord, it's super simple to untangle. 



The Momentum Ultra-Lights are so small and compact that the instant they are in your ear, you immediately forget that they are even in there. The fit snug into your ear canal, easily filtering out any background noise.

Final thoughts


When ace and friends was approached by X-1, I'd be lying if I didn't disclose that I gave and eye roll and thought, “yeah, okay, another earbud claiming to not slide out at the first sign of sweat”.

Admittedly, it took several weeks of runs to finally jostle the Momentum Ultra-Light out of my ear and it was few second quick fix to put them immediately back in and remain there for the rest of my workout. These earbuds are by far the most comfortable pair I've owned and have now become my all-time favorite. 

The sound is phenomenal and they function perfectly, even after a sweaty workout. Although they are a bit more expensive than your average headphones, the reward is certainly worth the investment.

Celebrate Mother’s Day at Starbucks with Teavana's Oprah Chai Tea #Sponsored #MC #TeavanaOprahChai


I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Starbucks. I received a promotional item and a gift card to facilitate my review. 

I love when new things arrive at Starbucks... {1} because I LOVE Starbucks and {2} it gives me another reason to stop by and visit. 

If you visit as often as I do to Starbuck's, you more than likely noticed that Teavana Oprah Chai beverages are now available at participating Starbucks and Teavana stores nationwide.

About Teavana Oprah Chai Tea
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Oprah Winfrey worked with Teavana’s leading teaologists to personally develop her own distinctive blend of tea. Available April 29 in the U.S. and Canada at Starbucks and Teavana stores, the new Teavana® OprahChai Tea features a bold infusion of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves, blended with loose-leaf black tea and rooibos. 

Sunday, May 11th is not ONLY Mother's Day, but at participating Starbucks, you can BUY ONE Oprah Chai hand-crafted beverage and get the other FREE. This means you and a friend can try the hot or iced Oprah Chai Latte and have a relaxing and enjoyable Mother's Day Sunday along with Oprah! Who doesn't LOVE  a free drink? Not only is Starbucks offering this exciting offer, but in addition, they will also be making a donation for each Teavana Oprah Chai product sold to benefit educational opportunities for youth through the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation. The tea along with the beautiful gift sets are available at participating Starbucks locations. 


I couldn’t have thought of a better person to share this Teavana Oprah Chai Tea with – my BESTIE. With each of us having three kids, our lives have been extremely hectic and non-stop and we don't always get to see each other very often. We appreciate the time we share together because our time is not only precious, but limited. Whenever we happen to get together, we make the most of it and spend most of the time catching up, laughing and making the most of the time we share together. Starbucks has always been one of our favorite places to just relax and just take a breather!
