These Surprisingly Good Headphones Are Now Only $20
I used to constantly buy cheap headphones from random brands simply because I needed headphones that wouldn’t give me a heart attack if (or when) I lost them or got them wet. If this sounds like your headphone buying strategy, then there’s a great pair of budget headphones that actually have pretty decent specs: the Anker Soundcore P20i . Right now they’re on sale for $19.99 (originally $39.99), which is the lowest price they’ve ever offered, according to price checker tools .
Anker has been making surprisingly good, affordable headphones, headphones, and speakers for a while now. The Anker P20i/P25i (same headphones, different names) came out in late 2023 and are a good pair of budget headphones that offer a lot of the features you’d typically see in higher-end headphones. You get Bluetooth 5.3, 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and another 30 hours from the case, bass boost, and a companion app that offers more features.
The app allows you to choose from 22 equalizer presets so you can find the sound signature that suits you best. There’s no customizable equalizer, but the fact that you have a companion app from a trusted brand for under $20 is impressive in itself. You can also set up a voice assistant from your phone through the app, making it one of your touch commands.
The headphones are great for people who want a cheap pair of headphones for the gym as they are IPX5 waterproof rated and while they don’t have ANC, the in-ear design naturally cancels out a lot of background noise. These headphones work with iOS and Android phones and come with a Find My Device feature in the app.
If I still lived in the era of cheap headphones, I’d grab these right away.
