Review: For $30 what's not to love? - These are small but mighty headphones on a $30 budget. You cannot go wrong here. The sound quality is excellent in the default mode but if you are an audiophile never fear you can fully customize the sound in the free soundcore app. If you aren't that savvy, you can also make easy adjustments in the app by type of music you are listening to or there are settings for podcasts and audiobooks. Or you can just leave it on the soundcore signature setting (which sounds great) and forget about it. These babies are very comfortable. I'm perimenopausal so anything in my ear canals make them itch like crazy. I had to find another option. I have a pair of beats over ear headphones that I wear strictly to bed to listen to for noise canceling/white noise. For obvious reasons these aren't ideal for daily wear (ie at work). I have a pair of soundcore aero clips that I love that I plan to keep locked up in my desk at work (they run about $150). I like these for work as my boss thinks they are some kind of newfangled piercing and has no clue I'm listening to music//baseball//podcasts. On a side note, I love these more than the Bose clips and they were half the price. Which brings me to the V20is. These are perfect for my bag or even a pocket as they come in a slim case. And, worst case, at $30 if they get lost or damaged I'm only out $30. Other things you should know: I wear glasses and these work and are reasonably comfortable. I don't know that I would want to test the outer limits of the battery life without a break but that's just me. Speaking of battery life, it maybe could be better but these are $30 headphones, probably can't have it all. Also, in addition to music I'm running a light show (see below), I'm sure this impacts the battery life. They paired easily with my Google Pixel phone. Now for the cons and then my favorite bonus feature. The cons are pretty much first world problems. One, they only come in 3 colors: black, navy and white. I would like more choices, maybe something in neutral or maybe even pastels. Second, they aren't that discreet unlike my aero clips. If I'm out with my in laws I'd like to be able to tune them out without it being quite so obvious that's what I'm doing 🤣🤣🤣 Now, my favorite option on these isn't even related to how they sound. If you go in the soundcore app there's an option called colorful lights. You can set up your earbuds to put on a light show set to the beat of the music. It's very cool. Granted, I can't see the light show because the headphones are over my ears but I've gotten a lot of comments on how cool it looks. So to wrap this up, you aren't going to find a better all around open pair of headphones than these soundcore V20is at this price point. And of course if you get them and hate them, send them back. The worse thing that could happen is you might have to go to the UPS store to send them back 🤣
Review: JUST BUY THEM. You won’t regret it! - TL;DR These things are amazing. I have tried over a dozen open ear headphones. And it doesn’t make ANY sense, (mostly because these are SO cheap) but the sound quality on these things blows everything else out of the water. Now, if you want to spend over $100 or more there are certainly better options out there. However, at even up to the $50 or $60 price range (which these are not) the still blow everything else out of the water. And the ONLY one I have found that even comes close is the BlitzMax BT-CT open ear headphones. The product link for those is here: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/aw/d/B0C7MPXLZ6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image. How those only have a 4.0 star rating out of 800 reviews is absolutely criminal. Even the Blitz Max is better than nearly every other offering out there that has higher reviews. Regardless, these are even better than the BlitzMax for a few reasons: 1.) They have a dedicated EQ app 2.) The sound is on par or better since they both have 16mm drivers 3.) The design of the case is far superior for the following reasons: 1.) Has more of a matte finish so it doesn’t feel slippery as is the case with the BlitzMax 2.) The footprint of the case is more compact. The BlitzMax case is super flat (due to the design of the earbuds) which makes it slightly more difficult to travel with. Not a deal breaker, just slightly more cumbersome 3.) Mentioning some other features between the two charging cases: on the Anker Soundcore, the spring hinge or whatever they use to keep the case closed is much more secure, which makes it nearly impossible for the case to accidentally crack open whilst inside you pocket or bag. While this is not a big deal for the V20i (Soundcore), since the earbuds do not automatically go into pairing mode or search for a known device to connect to, this is the case with the BlitzMax. I cannot tell you how many times this has happened while these were in my pocket and connected to my phone (without my knowledge) and I attempted to place a phone call, only to realize that I had no sound and couldn’t figure out why until the rep had hung up on me lol. 4.) The earbuds do not randomly connect / disconnect while inside standby mode. Now, I don’t recall this happening with the BlitzMax, however, many other highly rated open-ear earbuds (some of which are rated a 4.9, which they clearly are not) have this issue. It’s an absolute deal breaker for me. 5.) The design of the earbuds themselves are nearly perfect. They fit and stay on your ears far better than basically anything else I have used, except for maybe the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2’s, which are $179.99 MSRP. However, the cost can be prohibitively expensive, while those are also “in-ear” earbuds not “open-ear”. Just worth the mention for stability in the ear. The Powerbeats have the best stability bar none that I have ever seen. Back to the V20i though…the ear hooks are adjustable at 4 different levels, so you can get the perfect fit for your ear size and shape. The sound quality is exceptional for this price point. I seriously do not understand how they are turning a profit on these. A+ One last thing, the charger port is a bit recessed which protects the charger cable a bit, while also making sure if they get knocked around the cable will not get ripped out of your case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value
*by J***M on February 25, 2026*

These arrived a day early and I am currently wearing them as I write this. So far these aren't bad and I'm having a hard time complaining about what you get for the price. I got these for around $30 and the fact these have touch controls and an app you can use to adjust the EQ, the touch settings, and other things already makes them a good deal. The main reason I bought these is because I needed a pair of open earbuds for work so I can listen to music while still being able to hear what's going on around me. The sound quality isn't terrible but it isn't going to blow you away either. It's kind of like having 2 cheap but decent Bluetooth speakers strapped to your ears. Out of the box they might sound a tad muddy but I like using the hip hop or electronic EQ settings to make them sound more clear with added bass. They don't sound as good as in-ear earbuds (mainly because the bass isn't as rumbly) but they still sound really good, especially for the price. Once you change the EQ settings they have good clarity and you can hear the subtle nuances of each instrument. And although you can't really feel the rumble of the bass you can definitely hear it and most songs sound great on these in my opinion. I did notice that some songs with heavy sub bass sound kind of weird though. The touch controls work pretty well but hitting the right spot can be a little tricky especially when doing double taps. These also stay locked to your ears pretty well. You could headbang to some heavy metal music and these will not be sent into orbit. Some people say these are comfortable and you almost forget you're wearing them but I've had them on for about an hour and I can definitely still feel them. They aren't the most comfortable earbuds I've ever worn but they don't feel that bad either. I wore them at work most of the day and only my left ear started to feel slightly uncomfortable but I think that was just because the earbud needed to be adjusted a bit. The battery life is great and the case has fast charging which is convenient if you want to throw them in the case on your lunch break and get enough juice to last the rest of the day. The case is also smaller than I expected. I thought it would be bigger considering the size of the earbuds but it's literally the length of a toilet paper roll (i'm sick and have a roll laying on my bed next to the case) and it's about as wide as the upper part of your palm and as thick as a mcdonalds cheeseburger lol if you want a solid pair of open ear buds for work but aren't trying to spend a fortune these are a good option to consider. Just keep in mind that you aren't going to get super high quality studio level sound from these but that's not what they're made for anyway.
