BERIBES Upgraded Hybrid Headphones
Score: 82/100
Soundcore P30i
Score: 79/100Rankings
The BERIBES Upgraded Hybrid ANC headphones offer a massive 70-hour playback time and solid active noise cancellation in a foldable over-ear design. Their ANC performance falls short of premium flagship models and they lack water resistance and advanced codec support. Ideal for travelers and budget-conscious users who value battery life.
The P30i are true-wireless earbuds that combine powerful bass, adaptive ANC and a 45-hour total battery life in a compact, IP54-rated package. Their main trade-offs are a bass-heavy sound signature and occasional fit or crackling issues. They suit bass-focused listeners, gym-goers and commuters who value a phone-stand case.

Professional reviewers consider the BERIBES headphones a strong value proposition, offering crisp, balanced audio and an impressive 70-hour battery life at a price below premium brands. While the sound quality competes with Sony and Bose, the ANC is deemed adequate for everyday use but falls short of the industry-leading performance of top-tier models.
Everyday users praise the long battery life, lightweight comfort, and solid sound quality, noting that the headphones are comfortable for extended listening and travel. The most common criticism is that the noise cancellation, while functional, does not match the premium levels of flagship competitors, and some wish for more customization options such as an EQ app.

Professional reviewers commend the P30i for delivering impressive bass punch, adaptive ANC that can cut up to 42 dB of noise, and a versatile case that doubles as a phone stand. The companion app's extensive EQ options and long battery life are also highlighted as strong points. However, critics note that the bass-heavy tuning sacrifices mids and treble clarity, resulting in a narrow soundstage and a "radio-like" overall fidelity, making the earbuds less suitable for balanced or high-resolution listening.
Everyday users love the ear-buds for their powerful bass, long battery life, and the convenience of the phone-stand case, often mentioning how the sound drives workouts. Common praise also targets the customizable app and clear call quality. Recurring complaints focus on the overly dominant bass that masks mids, a narrow soundstage, occasional crackling, and fit discomfort for some listeners.
