Original review (two updates below - TL/DR, these are phenomenal for the price, along with Anker customer service!):Ok, first of all, I don't buy expensive earbuds. Never have, never will. I like good sounding music but I'm not an audiophile, I have kids and dogs, I travel for work occasionally, things get lost, etc. I've been using Boltune BT-BH020's for the last several years with a lot of success. Good sound quality, nice little magnetic case, USB-C charging, etc. My wife and I both have 2 pairs each, and they were about $35 a pair the last time we bought some. One pair finally crapped out on me so I went to order another set, and unfortunately they no longer exist. Not surprising considering the lifespan of cheaper Chinese brands on Amazon, but I was still a little disappointed.I liked the form factor of the Boltune case so I started looking for similar options, and landed on the Anker Soundcore P20i. I have always had good luck with Anker chargers and accessories in the past, so I was expecting a good, simple set of earbuds for $20, but nothing fancy. I tell you what though, I'm pretty blown away with what you get with these - easily the best "budget" level earbuds I've ever used.Packaging is typical Anker - excellent. Well put together, well protected. The earbud case itself is just slightly smaller than my old Boltune cases, but it comes with an attached lanyard, and has a notched area in the front for ease of opening - something that Boltune never got quite right (opening those cases was always a PITA, especially in the dark). Operation is simple - open the case and the earbuds power on (they will automatically go into device pairing mode if they haven't been paired yet). Return the earbuds to the case and close it to power them down and recharge. A couple additional sets of different sized earbud inserts are included so you can find the size that works best for your ears, as well as a 6" USB-C charging cable and a well written instruction manual. Of note, Anker placed plastic covers over the charging prongs to keep them from being damaged in shipping or powering on accidentally and draining the batteries - a nice touch. The case battery was almost fully charged upon arrival and only took about 10 minutes to top off, and the earbuds showed 100% via the app right out of the box (more on the app in a second).Once paired, the sound quality is fantastic, especially at this price point. They easily outperform my other earbuds, especially in the low end. Mids and highs are crisp without being screechy or piercing. I can't really comment on bluetooth range as my phone is usually in my pocket while I'm mowing the lawn or working in the garage, so I've never really needed to test that aspect. Battery life is advertised as 10 hours on the earbuds alone without charging them at all, and 30 hours if you return them to the case to recharge between uses. I haven't had to recharge the case yet so I can't confirm that, but I have no reason to doubt that they'll work as advertised. They also say that ten minutes of charging will get you 2 hours of listening time, so these thing would be great for the airport even if you forgot to charge them beforehand and only have a few minutes between flights.What really sets these things apart though? The app! It is well designed, obviously created by native English-speaking developers, and is simple and intuitive to use. The first time I synced the earbuds to the app, I got an alert for a firmware update! I've NEVER had a cheap pair of earbuds that had that kind of support from the manufacturer - really awesome to see. Going beyond that, you can see the battery level for each earbud, configure the sound profile you prefer, turn on a bass boost if that's your thing, you can configure the left and right touchpads on the earbuds to do the function of your choice (answer, hang up, go forward one track, go back one track, etc) - and there's even a device locator that will play a loud high-pitched beep through the earbud of your choice if you accidentally drop one and can't find it. That feature alone is worth it's weight in gold - I can't tell you how many times I've dropped an earbud off of my nightstand and had to root around looking for the stupid thing, lol.All in all, I'm really impressed with these for the money. Hands down the best earbuds I've ever owned, and they are the cheapest so far! Well done, Anker!Also - I'm not a bot, not a shill, and nobody paid me to say this. Just a happy, human customer who's impressed with the product!Update 9/12/2024: Stellar customer service from Anker! If I could upgrade my review from 5 stars to 10, I would!So, randomly yesterday I was using my earbuds watching YouTube like I always do, and got a low battery notification. Plugged the case in and put the earbuds away to charge, and decided to get in the shower while they charged up. Came back out to resume watching my show, and for some reason only one earbud connected. Messed around with them for a while trying to get the second one to connect, and even though they both were powered on, I couldn't for the life of me get them to connect at the same time. I checked the paired device list on my phone and ended up noticing that each earbud was showing up as it's own individual device on my Bluetooth list, so my phone would only connect to one at a time. I couldn't get them to reset, unpairing and re-pairing made no difference, restarting my phone made no difference...something was wrong.I emailed Anker customer service, filled out the form on their website and provided a screenshot of my Amazon order, the order number, and the device serial number on the back of the case. They suggested some things to try (all of which I had already done), and when none of that worked, they apologized for the problems and agreed to replace my earbuds 100% free of charge! The rep said I should have a new pair within 5 business days. I got a shipping confirmation this morning...and guys, I had brand new set of earbuds this afternoon! Less than 24 hours after filing a ticket, they had replacements in my hands. That is absolutely STELLAR customer service for a $20 pair of earbuds! Now read the original review below, and order these with confidence. It's unfortunate that mine had such a random and wonky issue, but trust that Anker will take care of you if necessary. Thanks for reading!Update #2, 2/19/2025: Replacement pair is still going strong 9 months later! Zero issues at all, same amazing sound quality, zero degredation in audio or battery life. My wife actually texted me and said that she was trying to figure out what happened to Boltune, and came across a Reddit post mentioning this review! Thanks for mentioning me AmazingGrace911, cool to see that so many people agree! :) The price has gone up by about $5, but these are still 100% worth every penny!

I had some Power Beats Pros that only lasted about two-ish years before they started glitching. So I went to go buy some new ones. Not only were they discontinued, but the newer version was far too expensive for something that was pretty much the same with only a design change.So I just kept using the old ones no matter how annoying it was to only have 1 hour of time before the right earbud would die multiple times a day. (And the warranty expires a year before anything actually malfunctions with it)So when I searched the internet and read about this company I decided to give it a try. Not only is the sound quality amazing but, you can adjust the sound settings. I'll have to play around with it a bit because the earbuds can go deep into your ears and the bass kinda hurts (i put the noise canceling ear covers on it so it probably goes deeper then it should)But it's absolutely amazing! It's just the bass is going to give me a headache and I'm not sure how to change it because the bass amplifier isn't even on in the settings. (So it's probably my ear covers) I changed it because the round ones usually hurt my ears.If you're skeptical I think it's worth trying. The price is pretty good for great quality earbuds. (And at least it's not $200 like the one I was considering at first)I'm seen some reviews of it being difficult to pair. It's actually not. You just have to read the user manual. You make sure it's disconnected from a device. (Otherwise it won't connect to another) Then if you see the logo on the earbuds, you press and hold until it pairs to another device. (It's a censor and not a button)There's also no volume buttons on the physical bud but you can easily set that up from the settings. It charges very fast. You can also use an apple phone charger (depending on the model i guess) but I think it charges faster with the one it comes with.It's very small and pocket sized. Not at all like the bulky apple earbuds case I've been carrying around. This is pocket sized and won't take up much space at all.My only concern is the earbuds falling out of my ears since there's no wings or anything. (But again to be fair the ear covers it comes with are probably to keep it stable in your ears) it also comes with 3 pairs of ear covers.Anyways it's 3Am and this is all I can think of currently. So have fun.

I bought these to wear while riding motorcycle. They have been comfortable for very long (10+ hour) riding days, and do a good enough job reducing wind noise while not being quite as good as proper earplugs. One advantage over earplugs is that they seem to allow pressure to equalize through elevation changes. After stopping, I found the volume wasn't uncomfortably loud, a good sign. I disabled the touch shortcuts to prevent them from being accidentally triggered inside the helmet.Out of the box, the frequency curve of these buds is ridiculous. Exaggerated bass crowds out everything else, and higher frequencies are dull. Once the EQ is changed to 'Treble Booster' in the companion app, sound quality is far better. The bass is still there but doesn't dominate. Unfortunately this setting did not carry over to a Windows 11 laptop, regardless of 'Audio Enhancement' setting. The bass is way too strong and there's no obvious way to adjust EQ natively. I wish the setting would be applied universally.Battery life seems very good. During rest stops, I put them in the case and I haven't seen them dip below 80% yet.
