✅ What I Like About the Anker Soundcore P20i

• As wireless in-ear headphones / earbuds, the Soundcore P20i give you a nicely immersive audio experience thanks to their 10 mm drivers — you get deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs, good for music or videos.

• For a budget-friendly Bluetooth earphone, you get solid battery life: up to 10 hours on a single charge, and ≈30 hours total with the charging case. Great if you use them all day while commuting, working or travelling.

• The P20i are wireless, with Bluetooth 5.2 / 5.3 support — so pairing is fast and stable, and the connection tends to stay solid even at a bit of distance.

• Call quality and convenience are decent: they come with dual microphones + AI-enhanced call support, so voice during calls tends to stay clear even in somewhat noisy places. The earbuds are lightweight and fairly comfortable for long listening sessions; the silicone tips help them fit more snugly and passively block some ambient noise.

• There’s water/sweat resistance (IPX5), so they survive sweaty workouts or light rain — handy if you commute or exercise while listening.

⚠️ Where It Falls Short (or What to Know)

• Despite some marketing as “noise cancelling,” the P20i do not have active noise cancellation (ANC) — they rely on passive noise isolation, so they won’t block ambient noise as much as earbuds with real ANC.

• A few users report issues if the earbuds are used for calls in noisy environments: one user wrote:

  “the mix on the P20i is not great … whenever I make a call in the Subway … people could never hear me” 
  So if you need top-notch mic performance in noisy surroundings, they may fall short.

• The build and case feel a bit inexpensive — some reviewers describe the case as “a bit flimsy,” which might matter if you carry them around a lot.

• Sound quality is good for the price, but at high volume or compared with higher-end earbuds, you might notice limitations depending on your audio expectations.

✅ Who the P20i Is Best For — and Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere

Good for:

• People wanting an affordable pair of wireless in-ear headphones / earbuds for music, podcasts, commuting, gym, casual listening.

• Users who value battery life, portability, and ease of use over premium features.

• Those who mostly use earbuds in relatively quiet or moderately noisy situations (not very loud environments).

Less ideal for:

• Users who need real active noise cancellation (for noisy commutes, flights, open offices).

• People who make frequent calls in very noisy environments and need top-tier mic quality.

• Users seeking premium audio fidelity or features like multipoint pairing, advanced noise control, or robust build.

Verdict: The Anker Soundcore P20i are great budget wireless earbuds — good sound, strong battery life, comfortable fit and basic call functionality make them a solid everyday choice. However, calling them “noise cancelling earbuds” is a stretch — they lack real ANC, so ambient noise reduction is limited. If you want affordable in-ear headphones for everyday use, they’re hard to beat at their price point. If you want top-tier noise cancellation or premium audio, you might want to step up to a higher-end model.
