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.
Professional reviewers commend the NC20 for delivering studio-grade sound with crisp highs, deep bass, and a DLC diaphragm that enhances high-frequency detail. The hybrid adaptive ANC is praised for its real-time responsiveness, while the lightweight, ergonomic build and IPX8 waterproofing earn marks for comfort and durability. Bluetooth 5.4 multipoint connectivity and six-mic AI call processing are highlighted as strong features, though the LDAC codec's power draw and occasional app or connectivity quirks are noted as drawbacks.
Everyday users love the NC20's feather-light comfort, impressive sound clarity, and the massive 80-hour total battery claim, often calling the audio "amazing" and the fit "barely noticeable" after an hour.
