Score: 77/100
Soundcore P31i with ANC
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Soundcore P31i are ultra-light true-wireless earbuds featuring adaptive ANC up to 52 dB and LDAC-enabled Hi-Res audio. Their battery life reaches 10 hours per charge (50 hours total with the case) but the bass-heavy tuning and limited spec details may deter audiophiles. Ideal for commuters and travelers who value lightweight design and strong noise cancellation.
The Sound Blaster JAM V2 is an ultralight on-ear headset that excels with aptX HD/Low Latency support and a long 22-hour battery. Its drawbacks include the lack of ANC, on-ear pressure and limited SmartComms functionality outside Windows. It's ideal for commuters and office users who value lightweight design and high-resolution wireless audio.

Professional reviewers praise the JAM V2 for its feather-light 84 g chassis, solid frame, and high-resolution aptX HD/Low Latency audio that stays clear even during video playback. The bass-boost button and Creative App EQ are highlighted as useful sound-tuning tools, while multipoint Bluetooth and fast USB-C charging add practical convenience. Criticisms focus on the on-ear form factor's limited immersion, thin plastic adjustment arms, and the SmartComms Kit being confined to Windows 10 wired mode, which reduces its appeal for power users seeking advanced call features.
Everyday users consistently commend the headset's ultra-light weight, long 22-hour battery life, and the convenience of pairing two devices at once. The USB-C wired option and bass-boost button receive positive mentions, while common complaints revolve around on-ear pressure after extended wear, a bass response that needs the boost button, and the absence of active noise cancellation.
Professional reviewers commend the P31i for their feather-light comfort, powerful bass from the 11 mm titanium-coated drivers, and a highly effective adaptive ANC that outperforms the prior P30i. They also note the lack of deep technical data and third-party benchmarks, which limits a full performance assessment.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the earbuds' ultra-light weight, punchy bass, and long battery life, while expressing mild concerns about fit stability and the scarcity of detailed user-generated feedback.
