7:04The reviewer compares the Soundcore P20i, P30i, and P40i budget earbuds, concluding that the P40i is the best overall choice due to its superior sound quality, better noise cancellation, and more substantial build, despite being the most expensive at around $50. The P20i is recommended for those on a tight budget, while the P30i offers a middle ground with added features like ANC and multipoint connection.
8:52The reviewer compares the Soundcore P40i against the Liberty 4 NC and R50i NC, concluding that the P40i is a solid budget option with good features and sound for its price, though it falls short of the Liberty 4 NC in ANC and microphone quality.
