Not HiFi but functional for Sports and Active. Long Battery Life
First of all it is not hi-fi. Only 44.1 Hz and AAC and SBC codec on android. I used SBC for even more power savings. It is not Hi-Fi but that is not a bad thing as treble and extreme bass is probably not great for you long term. Really awesome for sports. All the in ears I used are not great for running as you hear this pumping sound. This is good and light. Obviously no ANC but also no transparent mode but you do not need it because it is naturally transparent. As a side sleeper you can use this while listening to ambient relaxing sounds. Voice calls are not too bad, no worse than my work headset when I am inside. I drive an older noisy Ford diesel and so far, I can get the message across.Th battery life is s very good. The whole day during my long wilderness hike when it was below freezing for more than 3 hours, it did not die in over 7 hours and I was listening to music the whole time and interrupted by 2 calls.If you wear a cap the additional push of the earphones will make the music sound a little better. I did not buy this for hifi and mainly for running but I may upgrade to their Aerofit in a few months. For now at $30 – this is an excellent buy and will probably use it for most meetings that I am not presenting. My work discourages using the work computer for music and personal stuff but they allow us to use the personal phone for company access. So that means I now only have one headset so I can listen to music and take the occasional work phone call and do not have to get all flustered looking for my headset. If the music is not too detailed, it will not distract me compared to my better headphones.

great value for the price
I recently purchased the Soundcore V20i by Anker to replace my old Shokz earbuds, which unfortunately broke after 5 months of use. I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with these open-ear headphones, especially considering their reasonable price point.First and foremost, the sound quality is remarkable. The V20i delivers audio that rivals much pricier earbuds on the market. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, the clarity and richness of the sound are consistently excellent. It’s hard to believe that such quality can come at an affordable price.One significant advantage of these headphones is their design. Unlike traditional earbuds that sit inside the ear canal—often leading to discomfort during prolonged use—the open-ear design of the V20i ensures a comfortable fit. This feature is particularly important for me, as I have experienced irritation with in-ear headphones in the past. The V20i rests securely on the outer ear, allowing for extended wear without any discomfort.

First of all, I am dismayed by a Vine review that claims that these earbuds do not block noise and do not have ANC. Like seriously? The product is an open ear one and it IS meant to sit away from ears so that you can hear the ambient noise.I find these earbuds perfect for the price. Sound quality can be tailored with the EQ settings in the Soundcore app. The lights are a thoughtful touch and is a good addition for those who would be using these during cycling or running. Do note that the lights are off by default. The Soundcore app also let’s you customize the touch controls with multiple options such as press and hold, single tap, double tap etc. And now to the most important aspect – the sound quality. Don’t expect these to rival audiophile quality headsets. But with EQ flexibility, you can definitely adjust the music color to your preference. It definitely won’t replace my Philips X2HR Fidelio with Fiio BTR5 combo, but it does reduce that form factor to something that will fit in my pocket.I rather prefer these over my ears when doing household work so that I can keep an eye (or ear) on the kids. Or, for cycling as I can be aware all the time of what’s happening around me, while enjoying the music. Think of these as neckband speakers that are closer to your ear.Call quality is pretty decent too. Latency for TV listening is comparable to other Bluetooth headsets although there is a low latency mode in Soundcore app which certainly improves the latency.

Good

Ho acquistato le Soundcore V20i e devo dire che hanno superato le mie aspettative. Per quanto riguarda il comfort, le cuffie sono estremamente comode da indossare anche per lunghi periodi. Il case è compatto e piacevole al tatto, con una forma schiacciata e leggermente più larga rispetto alle AirPods, rendendolo ideale da portare sempre con sé. La batteria è semplicemente incredibile: dura circa 34 ore e si ricarica velocemente, rendendole perfette per giornate impegnative o viaggi.La qualità audio è eccellente, con bassi corposi e ben definiti, anche se non raggiungono il livello delle cuffie in-ear di fascia alta. Le chiamate risultano chiare e nitide, grazie all’ottima qualità del microfono. I comandi touch funzionano alla perfezione, consentendo di cambiare traccia, regolare il volume, richiamare l’assistente vocale e rispondere alle chiamate con facilità. L’unica pecca è la connessione multipunto, un po’ macchinosa: per effettuare il secondo pairing è necessario tenere premuti entrambi gli auricolari per qualche secondo, e funziona solo con due dispositivi.Esteticamente, il colore bianco tende al crema, risultando molto elegante e originale. Un dettaglio particolare è la presenza di LED RGB sugli auricolari, che possono cambiare colore a ritmo di musica o restare statici (blu). Sebbene personalmente non li trovi necessari, potrebbero essere utili per chi corre al buio, migliorando la visibilità. Inoltre, indossandole, potrebbero sembrare simili a un apparecchio acustico, ma questo non rappresenta un problema per me, poiché privilegio il comfort rispetto all’estetica.In sintesi, consiglio vivamente queste cuffie a chi cerca una buona qualità audio, una batteria duratura e un design curato.Rapporto qualità/prezzo veramente alto
