soundcore P20i

For budget shoppers who want punchy bass, decent call quality and an app that lets you fix the sound, this beats most cheap earbuds on features and battery.

7.8

If you want **wireless earbuds** for commuting, workouts and everyday listening without spending AirPods money, the P20i is aimed squarely at you. It covers the basics well: easy Bluetooth listening, pocketable charging, sweat resistance and enough battery to get through a long day. ## What makes it worth it The headline here is the battery life. You get **10 hours per charge and 30 hours total with the case**, which is better than many budget earbuds that still struggle to break 20 hours overall. The **10mm drivers** push a bass-forward sound that suits pop, hip-hop and podcasts better than thin-sounding rivals in this price band. The app support is also genuinely useful: **22 EQ presets**, custom control options and a **Find My Earbuds** function give you more flexibility than the usual cheap-earbuds package. Bluetooth **5.3** and the **two-mic AI call setup** round out a spec sheet that feels unusually complete for the money. ## Where it falls short This is still a budget pair of true wireless earbuds, so you should not expect class-leading noise cancelling or audiophile detail. Reviews also suggest the sound is tuned for fun and clarity rather than depth and separation, and that is fine as long as you know what you are buying. If you want isolation first, you will want to look higher up the range. Buy this if you want affordable everyday earbuds with strong battery life, a useful app and extra features most cheap models skip. Skip it if you care most about top-tier ANC or the cleanest possible sound.
