Soundcore P20i
Score: 75/100
JBL Vibe Beam 2 with ANC
Score: 77/100Rankings
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.
The P20i are true-wireless earbuds that deliver punchy bass, IPX5 resistance and a rich set of EQ presets. They miss active noise cancellation, have a plasticky feel and lack multipoint connectivity. Best suited for budget-focused listeners who prioritize bass and workout durability.
