Soundcore Life U2i
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 Soundcore Life U2i is a neckband headphone featuring a 10 mm driver, up to 24 hours of battery life and IPX5 water resistance, plus magnetic earbuds for convenience. It does not include active noise cancellation and its bass-heavy tuning may not please all listeners. Best for active users seeking long playtime and a secure, lightweight design.

“High-quality sound”
“Not user friendly”
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.
