Key features
- 10 mm drivers: larger-than-usual drivers for this class deliver a bass-heavy sound that suits popular music.
- 30 hours of total playtime: Soundcore quotes 10 hours per charge and 30 hours with the case. A 10-minute charge provides around 2 hours.
- Bluetooth 5.3: a modern Bluetooth version for a stable connection with current phones.
- IPX5 water resistance: protected against sweat and rain. There is no dust rating, and they are not for swimming.
- 22 preset equalisers: the Soundcore app lets you choose a sound profile, including the brand’s BassUp tuning, and customise controls.
- Compact case with lanyard: the small, light case comes with a lanyard so it can hang from a bag or keys.
- Find My Earbuds: the app can make a misplaced earbud play a sound to help you locate it nearby.
What we like
- A long quoted playtime for entry-level earbuds, with a quick top-up.
- A small case with a lanyard that is easy to carry.
- A proper companion app with equaliser presets and control customisation.
- Sweat and rain protection for workouts.
- A feature to help find a misplaced earbud nearby.
What to consider
- There is no active noise cancellation, so engine noise and office chatter will come through.
- The sound is tuned for fun, not accuracy.
- Call quality is adequate, not outstanding, in noisy places.
- Do not assume multipoint connection to two devices.
Who should buy it
Pick the Soundcore P20i if your priority is spending as little as possible on budget wireless earbuds that still come from a reputable brand with a proper app. They are well suited to workouts, podcasts, online classes and use as a backup pair you will not worry about losing.
They are not for listeners who need to block out engine noise or office chatter, because the P20i has no active noise cancellation. People who take many calls in noisy places, or who want accurate sound, should also look higher up the range.
How it compares
The P20i sits at the entry level of true wireless earbuds. Compared with unbranded earbuds at a similar level, the main advantages are a companion app, a stated water resistance rating and support from an established audio brand. One tier up, noise cancelling earbuds add active noise reduction, transparency modes and often multipoint, which matter on public transport and in offices. Premium earbuds go further with more balanced sound and stronger call quality. As general guidance, if you mostly listen in quiet rooms or at the gym, noise cancellation is a feature you can skip.
What to check before you buy
- No noise cancellation: if you want it, look at the Soundcore P30i or P31i instead. The names are easy to confuse.
- Colour: the P20i is sold in several colours, sometimes as separate listings.
- Fit: try the supplied ear tip sizes, since bass and comfort depend on the seal.
- Single-device pairing: check the listing if connecting to two devices at once matters to you.
- Charging and box contents: confirm what cable is supplied. A wall charger is typically not included, and the lanyard and ear tip selection may vary between regions or bundles.
