JBL Vibe Beam
Score: 75/100
Soundcore V20i
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Soundcore V20i provides an open-ear design with strong bass, long battery life, and robust IP55 protection. It lacks active noise cancellation and can sound hollow, and the hooks may need adjustment. Best for active users who prioritize awareness and battery endurance over immersive isolation.
The JBL Vibe Beam are true-wireless earbuds delivering deep-bass sound and up to 32 hours of total playback with quick-charge capability. They lack active noise cancellation and have only a splash-resistant rating, which may limit use in heavy-sweat conditions. Ideal for casual listeners and gym-goers who prioritize bass and battery life.

Professional reviewers commend the Vibe Beam for its compact, lightweight design, deep-bass tuning, and impressive 32-hour battery life with fast charging, but they criticize the absence of active noise cancellation and the vague water-resistance rating, which may limit its appeal for heavy-sweat activities.
Everyday users praise the powerful bass, long battery life, quick-charge convenience, comfortable fit, and reliable wireless range, while recurring complaints focus on occasional Bluetooth drop-outs, average call quality in noisy settings, fit looseness during intense exercise, and uncertainty about water-resistance protection.
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.
