JBL Vibe Beam 2 with ANC
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 JBL Vibe Beam 2 earbuds deliver deep bass, 32 hours of total playback and quick 10-minute charging. They lack true ANC and have limited codec support, which may disappoint audiophiles. Targeted at active users who value bass and durability.

Professional reviewers consider the Vibe Beam a solid choice for sports and fitness thanks to its lightweight construction, portable case, and reliable Bluetooth 5.2/5.3 connection. While the sound is bass-forward and the battery life is impressive, critics note the absence of true ANC and limited codec support, which may deter audiophiles.
Everyday buyers consistently highlight the powerful bass, long battery endurance, comfortable fit, and quick-charge convenience. The most common criticisms revolve around passive noise isolation, occasional fit issues, and the desire for active noise cancellation.
“Powerful bass, long battery life, comfortable fit, quick charging, and durability”
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.
