Skullcandy Indy Evo
Score: 75/100
Soundcore P30i
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Soundcore P30i earbuds combine adaptive ANC, powerful bass and a wireless-charging case for up to 45 hours of total playback. Their bass-forward tuning and occasional ANC inconsistency limit appeal for audiophiles. Best for bass enthusiasts and users who value extensive app customization.
Skullcandy Indy Evo provides a budget-friendly, IP55-rated earbud with 30 hours of total playback, Tile tracking and customizable EQ, targeting active listeners. It lacks ANC, has a bulky case and occasional connectivity issues, which keep it from competing with premium models. Ideal for cost-conscious gym-goers who want decent bass and useful extras without breaking the bank.

Professional reviewers commend the Indy Evo for its rugged build, secure fit, and clear bass-forward sound with useful EQ presets, noting the rapid charging and Tile integration as strong points. However, they criticize the lack of active noise cancellation, the case's bulk, and minor driver inconsistencies, suggesting it's a solid budget sports earbud but not a premium audio solution.
Everyday users consistently praise the earbuds' stable fit, decent bass, long battery life, and added features like Tile tracking and EQ modes, while recurring complaints focus on the oversized case, occasional connectivity hiccups, and the absence of aggressive bass or ANC for very loud environments.
Professional reviewers commend the P30i for its strong adaptive ANC, impressive BassUp-driven low-end, and feature-rich app that includes 22 EQ presets and 3D sound. However, they criticize the overly bass-centric tuning, narrow soundstage, and occasional low-resolution audio, noting that the ANC may struggle in windy conditions.
Everyday users love the deep bass, long battery life, and the handy phone-stand charging case, seeing strong value for the price. Common frustrations revolve around the bass-heavy sound masking other instruments, fit issues for smaller ears, and inconsistent ANC performance in windy settings.
