Introduction

The soundcore P20i true wireless earbuds, with their model numbers A3949031, A39490F1, and A39490F2, promise a compelling combination of powerful bass, long battery life, and convenient features. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting them through their paces, from intense workouts to long commutes, to see if they live up to the hype. This in-depth review will cover everything from sound quality and comfort to battery life and call clarity.

Features

The P20i boasts a healthy list of features, starting with its oversized 10mm drivers designed for powerful bass. The inclusion of 22 EQ presets via the soundcore app allows for significant personalization, catering to diverse musical tastes. The long 30-hour total playtime (10 hours on a single charge) is a significant selling point, especially for those who are frequently on the go. Other noteworthy features include IPX5 water resistance, making them suitable for workouts, and dual microphones with AI noise reduction for clearer calls. The “Find My Earbuds” feature is a welcome addition, preventing frustrating searches for lost earbuds.

Performance

The bass, as advertised, is quite impressive. It’s deep and punchy without overwhelming the mids and highs. The 22 EQ presets offer a truly customizable listening experience, allowing me to fine-tune the sound to my preferences across various genres. Call quality was consistently clear, even in noisy environments, thanks to the effective noise cancellation. The battery life lived up to its claims; I easily got 10 hours of continuous playtime on a single charge, and the charging case provided ample additional power. The earbuds themselves are comfortable enough for extended wear, though I did find that after about 3 hours of continuous use, I needed a short break. The fit is secure, even during vigorous activity, thanks to the included ear tips.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Powerful, customizable bass
• Excellent battery life (30 hours total)
• IPX5 water resistance
• Clear call quality
• Convenient “Find My Earbuds” feature
• Comfortable fit for most users

Cons:

• Slight discomfort after prolonged use (3+ hours)
• The app could benefit from a more intuitive interface

Final Verdict

The soundcore P20i earbuds deliver on their promises of powerful bass, long battery life, and excellent call quality. The customizable EQ and IPX5 water resistance add to their appeal. While minor comfort issues arise after extended use, the overall performance and features make them a strong contender in the true wireless earbud market. I’d confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a well-rounded pair of earbuds with a focus on bass and long battery life.
