I do love music and I use Apple Music every day to stream sounds with my Apple AirPods. While very reliable, it makes sense to have a backup set of earbuds.
While Anker has quite a few wireless earbuds on the market, this model is the P20i that I purchased for review. Normally retailing for £30, they were on sale for £15 at the time. The Anker models caught my eye as good value with excellent reviews.
The packaging is compact and decent, and the earbuds come with instructions and an app that can also be downloaded to your phone. I went for the white version, but black, blue, and pink are also available.
The item is light and the case size similar to other comparable systems on the market. Matt white plastic construction with the case attached to a cord. On opening, the earbuds sit in an upright position within the unit that recharges the buds. I understand that the case can hold about 30 hours charge (once fully charged via usb) and the earbuds can work up to an impressive 10 hours before needing recharging in the case. If that is the case, that is impressive but I still need to prove for myself. The earbuds are very nicely constructed and fitted well in my ears and you do get some extra attachments to alter the size fitting in your ears so most comfortable. They are also supposed to be water resistant. The case is slightly cheaper to the touch but it is as you would expect for £30. My only concern would be the lid which likely needs careful handling as this part of the construction is definitely weaker and will need careful handling to protect and not break.
The earbuds sounded pretty decent, and sound levels for bass, etc., can be controlled via the downloadable app. Many reviews of course state that while sound cannot be as good as say Apple AirPods, they do a decent job for the price which I would agree with. Each earbud can also be controlled and set to respond to single, double, and long press taps. That way, you can set it as you require to skip tracks, pause, alter sound levels, and more. This functionality works particularly well and I thought was better than my Apple AirPods.
While on a phone call, I could hear the conversation clearly and my voice was also picked up well. The marketing claims that is enhanced with AI tech but would take that value with a pinch of salt.
Overall, for value for money, you cannot complain. Ideal as spares or perhaps for children or those wanting to use in situations where you have a higher risk of loss or damage and wish to avoid using more expensive models.
