Soundcore P30i
Score: 81/100
JLab Go Air Pop+
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Soundcore P30i are true-wireless earbuds delivering punchy bass, adaptive ANC up to 42 dB, and a unique 2-in-1 case that doubles as a phone stand. Their soundstage is narrow and bass-heavy, which may not suit listeners seeking balanced audio. Best suited for bass-centric users and active listeners who value long battery life.
JLab Go Air Pop+ earbuds provide ultra-budget true-wireless convenience with up to 35 hours of total battery life, IPX4 resistance, and dual-device pairing. Absence of active noise cancellation and a thin sound signature are drawbacks. Best for casual listeners who prioritize endurance and price.

Professional reviewers commend the P30i for delivering impressive bass punch, adaptive ANC that can cut up to 42 dB of noise, and a versatile case that doubles as a phone stand. However, critics note that the bass-heavy tuning sacrifices mids and treble clarity, resulting in a narrow soundstage and a "radio-like" overall fidelity.
Everyday users love the ear-buds for their powerful bass, long battery life, and the convenience of the phone-stand case, often mentioning how the sound drives workouts. Common praise also targets the customizable app and clear call quality. Recurring complaints focus on the overly dominant bass that masks mids, a narrow soundstage, occasional crackling, and fit discomfort for some listeners.
Professional reviewers praise the Go Air Pop+ for its outstanding battery endurance, clear mids, and feature set that includes dual-device pairing, a companion EQ app, and reliable touch controls-all at a budget price. However, they criticize the earbuds for a hard-edged, limited sound signature, inconsistent bass, sharp or dull treble, poor call quality, and discomfort after extended wear, noting the lack of active noise cancellation as a drawback for noisy environments.
Everyday users appreciate the long battery life, secure fit for workouts, low price, and the ability to tweak sound via the app. Common complaints revolve around ear fatigue after two hours, thin or unbalanced sound, subpar call performance, and the absence of ANC.
