Soundcore V20i
Score: 81/100Rankings
The V20i are open-ear wireless earbuds that combine 16 mm drivers, IP55 resistance and a total of 36 hours of battery life with multipoint and touch controls. They lack ANC and can sound hollow, and they are heavier than some rivals. Suited for active users who need awareness, long battery and customizable sound.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M20xBTWH offers the same 60-hour battery life and 10-minute quick charge as its black counterpart, with added white styling and built-in mic controls. It also omits active noise cancellation and uses only AAC/SBC codecs, and its weight of 670 g may affect comfort. Suited for budget-focused users who want long playback and multipoint pairing without ANC.

Professional reviewers praise the ATH-M20xBTWH for delivering full-range, hi-fi audio with large 40 mm drivers, exceptional 60-hour battery life, low-latency mode and multipoint pairing, while also appreciating the wired cable option for studio use. Their main criticisms focus on the lack of active noise cancellation and the limited AAC/SBC codec support, which may deter users seeking premium wireless audio features.
Everyday users rate the headphones highly, emphasizing the rich bass, long battery life, comfort and easy pairing as standout strengths. Recurring complaints center on the omnidirectional mic picking up ambient noise, the absence of ANC and the perception of a less rugged build.
Professional reviewers commend the V20i for its comfortable open-ear hook design, strong bass via BassUp, clear call performance with AI-enhanced microphones, and robust IP55-rated durability. However, they point out the hollow sound signature, lack of active noise cancellation, and a weight that is higher than some ultra-light competitors.
Everyday users love the secure fit, long battery life, bass punch, and the fun, music-synced lighting, while repeatedly noting the hollow audio character, occasional app glitches, and the need to fine-tune the hooks for a perfect fit.
