Los compré en oferta y la relación calidad-precio es adecuada. Compré en color negro, las manchas de grasa en el estuche y los audífonos se notan mucho, pero son fáciles de limpiar y quedan bien. Se escuchan bien, no son el mejor sonido ni son aislantes, pero para uso diario son cómodos y la ventaja es que descargando la app se pueden ajustar los sonidos por tipo de música, aumentar bajos, ecualizador, etc., y también puedes ajustar los controles desde la app. Otra ventaja es que la pila dura mucho, se cargan rápido y se puede usar solo uno dejando el otro en el estuche, sin que se apaguen automáticamente, pero usándolos así no se pueden operar los controles, más que para volumen y contestar/colgar llamadas.

I sleep with headphones in every night and need something that is comfortable with a long lasting battery. These fit the bill.
They have a pretty good fit in my ear and don’t fall out, which happens with some brands. The sound is fine, though it’s not a fair assessment since I have them primarily for background noise. I have a really good pair of over ear headphones for when I’m listening to music. I have used these on the train listening to podcasts though and they’re totally fine.
The color is cute and stands out against the many black options. It also makes it easier to see if I drop one. The battery life is awesome! They charge quickly and stay charged for a solid 8-9 hours.
The material feels like really cheap plastic so I was surprised how comfortable they are and how durable they are. One thing to add is that they have a noise cancelling feature that you can set up with an app. I have t used it but a friend has the same pair and said it works well.
These are definitely a solid option for an inexpensive pair of Bluetooth headphones.

Having previously owned AirPods and currently owning the Amazon echo buds second gen, these soundcore headphones are comparable in quality. For a fraction of the price, I was shocked as to how good the sound quality was! I was kind of expecting a cheap (<£20) plastic-y quality like that of the average apple wired headphones. The size fit me perfectly but it also comes with different ear tips for comfort. I’ve only received them today so I cannot comment on charging speed or durability but so far, I would 100% recommend these to anyone looking for a relatively cheap pear of earphones that have very good sound quality and a deep bass.

Gostei bastante! Graves bons, som bom, material do fone bom. A caixinha parece um pouco frágil, não sei se vai aguentar muitas quedas, mas pelo preço e qualidade recomendo demais! Não tem cancelamento de ruido e a caixa não carrega wireless mas mesmo assim é muito bom!

The GOOD: They are not harsh. There is no biting treble detail. They fit well in my ears. They pair quickly to my Samsung phone. There’s an Andoid Soundcore app. Nothing fancy but it works.
The BAD: No high treble detail. If you live for that crisp hi-hat drum sound look elsewhere. On the other side, this reduces listening fatigue. The bass output..it’s there but it’s sort of a unified muff to some degree. Yes I can hear electric bass notes and grand piano bass if I bother to think about it but it’s sort of “backgroundized/homogenized”. BUT…BUT… What does one expect for $20.00 ???? These are not my $200 Sennheisers and they don’t have to be. They are a perfectly fine listening experience for uncritical listening at the coffee shop, the doctor’s office waiting room, or yes even uncritical couch listening for when you want to read a book and not fire up the big stereo. Most importantly they freed me from thinking I “HAD TO” go broke spending $100.00 or more to purchase what is essentially a disposable or highly lose-able commodity. I bought these only because my new phone has no wired headphone jack. If I get one or two years out of them…great.
Finally, these were the only inexpensive headphones that had good reliability and support reviews/comments. Over the years I have had good luck with Anker products. YMMV, that’s my experience. Best of luck! I will update this review down the
road, or, if things go haywire.
ADDENDUM: Listening to Led Zeppelin “10 Years Gone” on these ear buds this morning. Sounds really good and satisfying. I can hear all the different guitar layers.
P.S. Minor thing – I wish that somewhere on each one, it was made prominently clear which was Left and Right. It’s there in very tiny writing on the inside of each bud but I would like a white 14 point bold L and R. Now they have made it so that when you put them in the case, only Left will go into the Left spot and the Right into the Right spot so that’s one way to confirm. Just a wish.
FWIW: I have no interest in taking phone calls on these earbuds, that isn’t a priority to me, so….I can’t speak to how well phone call audio works. My review is solely about music reproduction. Thanks.

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!
———original review———-
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!

The sound quality is pretty good and more than my expectation. I agree with other reviewers 🙂
Another unexpected good feature not described in the instruction/product introduction is that the earpod(s) can be turned on and off without a case. Just touching the control for 5 seconds will turn the earpod(s) on or off. It is the feature I’ve been looking for a long time because it doesn’t need unnecessary charges. I like it! Hope this feature won’t be deprecated in the future firmware update.

These ear buds are great quality and especially for the low price. I do not really use them for music. Not sure about that. The charge of them last all night. They fit into the charger very well with magnet type attaching. Blue tooth great volume control good

I had AirPods for a couple of months and i unfortunately dropped them in water, instead of spending another $200 on another pair. I seen these and bought them for around $40!! Insanely cheap.
But don’t let the price fool you, the sound quality is so good, it fits in your ear like a glove, (and even if it doesn’t it comes with different sized ear rubbers) the comfortability is 10/10. Everything about these headphones are great. The battery last way TOO long, I charged them once and didn’t need to charge them until 2-3 weeks later, mind you I use them everyday for 4-5 hours, and there is an app which you can customize everything about the headphones (Tap control, sound quality, equalizer). The case is very light weight and smooth, they also have a magnetic latch like AirPods. I feel like you guys get the idea about how great these headphones are.
I purchased these February of 2024 and they stopped charging a couple of months later, so I went to the Soundcore website to get support. When I tell you it was the best support I ever received.. I’m not lying. I sent in an a support request about my headphones through the website, then a day later I received an email back letting me know they would be sending me a FREE pair, no shipping costs, tax, nothing. Received the headphones a week later and they were just as amazing as the first pair.
The ONLY negative thing I can think about these are that if your using them on max volume next to someone, or sitting in an enclosed area like a car it will leak sound. But that happens with almost every pair of in ear headphones.
AMAZING sound, AMAZING fit, AMAZING battery, AMAZING PRICE, AMAZING support, everything is just amazing. I would 100% recommend these headphones to anyone. If you’re looking for a good pair of headphones for an amazing price these should definitely be your choice.
