Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds, with Big Bass, 30H Playtime

I've gone through more earbuds than I'd like to admit, and it always seemed like there was something wrong with them. The battery would die after a couple of hours, they wouldn't work independently, the lowest volume setting was still loud enough to blast my eardrums, or they'd greet me with some dramatic "POWER ON!" announcement every time I used them. These Soundcore earbuds somehow managed to solve all of those problems. The battery life is excellent and easily lasts through my day. Each earbud works independently, which is a feature I didn't realize I needed until I had it. The charging case also holds a charge for a long time, so I'm not constantly hunting for a charger. One of my favorite things, though, is how pleasant they are to use. Instead of shouting status updates at me like an overenthusiastic minimum wage receptionist, they power on and off with soft, subtle sounds. It's a small detail, but it makes a big difference. The volume control is great too. Sometimes I just want a little background audio, and these actually get quiet enough without sacrificing sound quality. And they're comfortable enough that I can wear them for long periods without feeling like I'm training for an ear-stretching competition. In short: great battery life, independent earbud use, comfortable fit, sensible volume control, and no unnecessary audio theatrics. If you've been on the same frustrating earbud journey I have, these might just be your happily-ever-after. 🎧😄 Happy listening, bestie! P.S. I haven't given the water-resistance a try, and don't suspect I'll have much of an opportunity to check that out. But will update if my ears get exceptionally sweaty.

These are wonderful for the price. They are such a pretty shade of blue and have great sound. They connect easily with my phone and lasted me a whole week while on vacation without charging. Highly recommend.

I'd resisted the wireless headphone trend for as long as possible, preferring the regular 3.5mm jack. Unfortunately, iPhone thought it would be a good idea to get rid of the headphone jack altogether. I disagree with this decision, but I don't make phones, so... I used regular wired headphones with a connector thingy to be able to plug it into my phone for a while. That worked fine, except for the fact that the connectors would inevitably stop working after a while. So I went through many of those. Then one day, my phone stopped working with connectors. No matter what I did, the volume would go back to zero and I couldn't use the headphones at all. So finally I decided to get wireless headphones, even though I once heard it's like the equivalent of putting a microwave in each of your ears. Oh well, it's 2026 and wifi and 5G and whatever else is all over the place. But then I had to go down the rabbit hole of finding headphones that were worth it. I didn't want super expensive or fancy wireless headphones for listening to music with my phone. I have over-ear Sony headphones that I use for recording and sound editing, I just really needed something to listen to music on my phone with while going for a walk. Reading reviews was frustrating and took me all over the place. Finally I decided to go with my gut and just order these. They're fine. I'm a bit of a sound snob and I need bass. These are fine. They fit well enough and comfortable enough in my ears. They don't get as loud as I would prefer, but that's probably a good thing. The bass is decent. The overall sound feels balanced for the most part. They hold a charge for a long time, too. I've only charged the case once since I bought them a couple months ago and I don't even know if they were close to needing a charge. I only really use them when I go for a walk around the neighborhood. I use them to listen to music and have not tried to use them for a call or anything. They seem easy to use, though admittedly I don't care to be bothered to learn what all the various tap combinations do. I put them in my ears, they automatically pair with my phone after the initial pairing, and I use the controls on my phone for volume and track changes. This works for me. They are fine. I do not think ANY wireless headphones have the sound quality of wired headphones, so these are fine. The sound is fine. I'm not like, "oh wow! these are amazing!" but I am happily listening to tunes as the soundtrack to my walks. I like how they fit in the case and its easy enough to throw them in my purse. I almost dropped one once, and I did not like that feeling of not being able to catch them with a cord but, that's me. I will say it is nice not to have to deal with the cord in terms of it being in the way while walking around or getting tangled in a purse. I have no idea about the water resistance because that's not something I deal with while wearing headphones. In terms of noise cancellation... it's not something I've really noticed, but now that I think about it I don't really notice the sound of the traffic/cars on the street while I am walking. This may or may not be a good thing. But I am happy with them. For the price, I am happy with them. For the sound, I am happy with them. For the purpose of walking while listening to music, I am happy with them. If you are also going down the rabbit hole of reviews trying to find basic earbuds for music listening purposes, I do suggest getting these and saving yourself any more frustration. They're not perfect, they're not incredible, but they are just fine.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not an earbud person. Mostly because they ALL hurt my ear canals. I don’t care how small, how padded or of what material, they hurt. The only solution is a pair I have that sit just outside the ear. Of course you give up sound quality but that’s ok. I’d rather not be totally tuned out of my environment and be able to carry on a conversation without removing them than fumble around taking them out if approached. I’m also not concerned at all with sound quality. If I can hear the sound clearly and loud enough I’m happy. I, at this point in time, only use them when watching a movie on my phone while laying on my couch at home. So I don’t have a huge need for them. With all this being said, I am interested in expanding their use as I’ve always wondered why everyone is walking around with 1 earbud in constantly. What are they listening to that’s so important that they can’t be without it on all the time? Then I thought maybe they are also for phone calls though I’ve never taken a call using earbuds. I seldom answer the phone either. Big surprise right? So I saw these and at their price point I thought I would give them a try. While I like mine that sit outside the ear they are very light and could fall off and I’d never know unless they were in use. They also sit at the exact location on my ear that my glasses are already utilizing so they again, aren’t as secure as they could be. These should be more stable if nothing else. They paired easily and charged with no problem. However, they still literally make my ears sore even after they are removed. I must just have extremely small canals. But they are stable and I would know if one came out which was my concern. As far as all the tuning I just get them to a place the bass isn’t thumping or overwhelming and I’m good. But there are lots of adjustments that can be controlled via the app. I’m not crazy about controls on the buds as I never get the reaction I intended so if I do need to make an adjustment it’s easier for me to just grab my phone and do it. The other thing I don’t understand is why advertisers say the charging case extends playtime. No it doesn’t. If it did, to me that would mean they could remain in my ears for a longer amount of time before they run out of charge. Taking them out to put them in the case to charge is no different than using a charger other than you don’t have to be plugged in. So nothing extends battery life because once they are charged, they are charged. They can’t charge any further. It bothers the hell out of me that this is said and people must believe it, but it’s simply not true. If there’s some magic I’m missing regarding charging cases someone please correct me. These certainly last long enough for me to watch a movie and I put them back in the magic case after use and then typically plug it all in anyway so I seldom hear the Low Battery warning. I keep them charged because I don’t want to want to use them and they die in the middle of my movie, you know, because that extended battery life didn’t work out for me, and I don’t want want to wait even the 10 minutes for the 2 hours of battery life they are advertised to gain in that time span of charging. When I want them, I want them now. But I would prefer a simple tone alert instead of words.m if the battery does go low. I haven’t started using them more than my other ones yet because honestly, I’m a little self conscious, but when I do, I will use these because of the stability factor. I know earbuds can be super expensive and these are not, but I believe they are of better quality than their price would suggest. I can’t think of anything I would want them to do that isn’t already being done. Or honestly, what others might want out of them lol. Definitely recommend them.

I had a cheap set of earbuds and the sound was horrible so I tried these and was very pleased with the sound quality. The volume can get pretty loud which I love. There are no volume buttons on the earbuds which I don't like, but I rarely use the buttons anyway. It is definitely worth the money. Easy to pair. Fit great in my ears. I don't know about the battery life because they haven't gone dead on me. The case does not show how much charge they have which I don't like. Again, the sound is all I really care about and it sounds great.

I am making this review about one year after i bought them. I have to say that i am really impressed. The sound is fine, even know it could be a bit louder, but i have used these earbuds for almost a year with no issue, They have been used every day since i bought them and at least a few hours a day. They have not failed, There is rare moments when the Bluetooth would fail to connect, but very rare, maybe once a month, and i would just shut the lid and reopen and it would connect just fine. For the price i paid, and how well they worked and how long they have worked, i would buy again if these would fail. The battery life is really good, Like i said, i use them a lot, and charge the case maybe once every 3 or 4 days. Set up was very easy, and i have not had to reset them since i bought them, so they are very easy to use. The one bad thing about them, and this is not enough for me to remove a star is that the controls do not work very well. But i would not replace them because everything else works so well, They fit in the ears really well, i have never had one fall out. The feel comfortable in the ears. If i had to go somewhere, i am sure they would be fine as well. I leave them at my desk, but portability would be fine if i needed to take them out

Original review (two updates below - TL/DR, these are phenomenal for the price, along with Anker customer service!): Ok, first of all, I don't buy expensive earbuds. Never have, never will. I like good sounding music but I'm not an audiophile, I have kids and dogs, I travel for work occasionally, things get lost, etc. I've been using Boltune BT-BH020's for the last several years with a lot of success. Good sound quality, nice little magnetic case, USB-C charging, etc. My wife and I both have 2 pairs each, and they were about $35 a pair the last time we bought some. One pair finally crapped out on me so I went to order another set, and unfortunately they no longer exist. Not surprising considering the lifespan of cheaper Chinese brands on Amazon, but I was still a little disappointed. I liked the form factor of the Boltune case so I started looking for similar options, and landed on the Anker Soundcore P20i. I have always had good luck with Anker chargers and accessories in the past, so I was expecting a good, simple set of earbuds for $20, but nothing fancy. I tell you what though, I'm pretty blown away with what you get with these - easily the best "budget" level earbuds I've ever used. Packaging is typical Anker - excellent. Well put together, well protected. The earbud case itself is just slightly smaller than my old Boltune cases, but it comes with an attached lanyard, and has a notched area in the front for ease of opening - something that Boltune never got quite right (opening those cases was always a PITA, especially in the dark). Operation is simple - open the case and the earbuds power on (they will automatically go into device pairing mode if they haven't been paired yet). Return the earbuds to the case and close it to power them down and recharge. A couple additional sets of different sized earbud inserts are included so you can find the size that works best for your ears, as well as a 6" USB-C charging cable and a well written instruction manual. Of note, Anker placed plastic covers over the charging prongs to keep them from being damaged in shipping or powering on accidentally and draining the batteries - a nice touch. The case battery was almost fully charged upon arrival and only took about 10 minutes to top off, and the earbuds showed 100% via the app right out of the box (more on the app in a second). Once paired, the sound quality is fantastic, especially at this price point. They easily outperform my other earbuds, especially in the low end. Mids and highs are crisp without being screechy or piercing. I can't really comment on bluetooth range as my phone is usually in my pocket while I'm mowing the lawn or working in the garage, so I've never really needed to test that aspect. Battery life is advertised as 10 hours on the earbuds alone without charging them at all, and 30 hours if you return them to the case to recharge between uses. I haven't had to recharge the case yet so I can't confirm that, but I have no reason to doubt that they'll work as advertised. They also say that ten minutes of charging will get you 2 hours of listening time, so these thing would be great for the airport even if you forgot to charge them beforehand and only have a few minutes between flights. What really sets these things apart though? The app! It is well designed, obviously created by native English-speaking developers, and is simple and intuitive to use. The first time I synced the earbuds to the app, I got an alert for a firmware update! I've NEVER had a cheap pair of earbuds that had that kind of support from the manufacturer - really awesome to see. Going beyond that, you can see the battery level for each earbud, configure the sound profile you prefer, turn on a bass boost if that's your thing, you can configure the left and right touchpads on the earbuds to do the function of your choice (answer, hang up, go forward one track, go back one track, etc) - and there's even a device locator that will play a loud high-pitched beep through the earbud of your choice if you accidentally drop one and can't find it. That feature alone is worth it's weight in gold - I can't tell you how many times I've dropped an earbud off of my nightstand and had to root around looking for the stupid thing, lol. All in all, I'm really impressed with these for the money. Hands down the best earbuds I've ever owned, and they are the cheapest so far! Well done, Anker! Also - I'm not a bot, not a shill, and nobody paid me to say this. Just a happy, human customer who's impressed with the product! Update 9/12/2024: Stellar customer service from Anker! If I could upgrade my review from 5 stars to 10, I would! So, randomly yesterday I was using my earbuds watching YouTube like I always do, and got a low battery notification. Plugged the case in and put the earbuds away to charge, and decided to get in the shower while they charged up. Came back out to resume watching my show, and for some reason only one earbud connected. Messed around with them for a while trying to get the second one to connect, and even though they both were powered on, I couldn't for the life of me get them to connect at the same time. I checked the paired device list on my phone and ended up noticing that each earbud was showing up as it's own individual device on my Bluetooth list, so my phone would only connect to one at a time. I couldn't get them to reset, unpairing and re-pairing made no difference, restarting my phone made no difference...something was wrong. I emailed Anker customer service, filled out the form on their website and provided a screenshot of my Amazon order, the order number, and the device serial number on the back of the case. They suggested some things to try (all of which I had already done), and when none of that worked, they apologized for the problems and agreed to replace my earbuds 100% free of charge! The rep said I should have a new pair within 5 business days. I got a shipping confirmation this morning...and guys, I had brand new set of earbuds this afternoon! Less than 24 hours after filing a ticket, they had replacements in my hands. That is absolutely STELLAR customer service for a $20 pair of earbuds! Now read the original review below, and order these with confidence. It's unfortunate that mine had such a random and wonky issue, but trust that Anker will take care of you if necessary. Thanks for reading! Update #2, 2/19/2025: Replacement pair is still going strong 9 months later! Zero issues at all, same amazing sound quality, zero degredation in audio or battery life. My wife actually texted me and said that she was trying to figure out what happened to Boltune, and came across a Reddit post mentioning this review! Thanks for mentioning me AmazingGrace911, cool to see that so many people agree! :) The price has gone up by about $5, but these are still 100% worth every penny!

Color: 10/10 I go the navy blue, Beautiful color. Size: the case is a bit on the bigger side. But but it does have a strap to hold on to Quality: 10/10 the sound is great. Battery: 8/10 it does fast charge but the battery does not last as long as it could. I use them during my work day. 8 hrs a day 5 days a week. I typically use them at level 3 or 4 depending on what I'm listening to. total about 20 hrs. but still pretty good. APP: the app is easy to use. I left mine as is since i need to be able to listen to conversation. water resistance : i did not "need" this function. I use them for work (office) not to work out Button response: 10/10 easy to use and understand I only use one so it has this dual control where you can use all function if you use one. Vs others that have one bud do only certain things. but over all good. I can pause play answer and hang up in one. now for the reason i gave them a three. While the over all quality is great, the reason I bought these was because they were small ear friendly. Unfortunately, they are not. They don't go far enough in and the bud itself is too large for the tip to go in. If I so much as smirk the bud it popping off. Luckily my RBF helps. I've tried many many many buds and I have yet to find some that fit. I've had the smallest ear tip and i still can't find any that are long enough to go to the ear canal comfortably without hurting my eardrum and small enough to actually fit my ear (outside). In this case the tip is too short, and the bud is too bulky for my ear. While this is a specific problem, they are great But those of us for small ears are going to have to keep searching so this review is for us few. And no, not even the XS tip, or even taking the tip out completely, helps.

Goeie oordopjes, fijn handzaam en hele goeie kwaliteit! Luister vooral naar metal muziek en dit klinkt uitstekend met deze oordopjes! Zeer tevreden!

Li uso da poco, ma da quel che ho potuto constatare sono di qualità. Dopo più di una settimana di utilizzo anche se non continuo, batteria ancora al 60per cento. Confortevoli e leggeri quanto basta, apprezzato il fatto che lì abbiano spediti con i gommini di diversa misura,usate in palestra e in giro, non cadono se non in caso rari. Si collegano in un attimo, comandi di gestione semplici. Suono a mio parere pulito e corposo sia in chiamata che per ascoltare la musica, apprezzatissimo. Sicuramente un ottimo prodotto.

Leve, confortável e bonito. A construção é em plástico mas bem feita, sem rebarbas e macia ao toque. A bateria é de fato muito boa, tenho usado por umas 4 ou 5 horas contínuas e termino com cerca de 60% de carga restante nos fones. Não há como saber exatamente a carga restante na case, no entanto. O único indicador é o led na parte frontal, que fica vermelho quando a bateria está baixa. O som é limpo e satisfatório, apenas decepcionando um pouco nos presets de equalização no aplicativo. Não é possível criar um perfil customizado, e na minha experiência eles não fazem tanta diferença se comparado ao equalizador embutido no celular. Pra quem não gosta dos gestos touch assim como eu, é possível desativá-los nas configurações do app. Os fones ainda emitem um barulho suave quando você toca neles, mas não executarão nenhum comando. Apesar dos pontos negativos, que considero pequenos, é um ótimo custo benefício pra quem quer um fone com boa autonomia de bateria e qualidade de som. A entrega foi rápida conforme o prometido, o produto veio bem embalado e lacrado.

Have nothing to complain about when I consider the price. Cheap for my primary reason for buying them, audiobooks during monotone work hours. Could be better for phone calls. Don't know about lifetime or dust/water resistance since I only have had them 2-3 weeks. Haven't gone through first battery charge.

The sound is soo good and soo clear I bought it cuz I wanted earbuds to wear outside home, the quality of the sound was amazing it really surprised tbh me and it’s not my first time buying from soundcore , I really think the price is so small compared to the good quality
