My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Anker Soundcore P20i Headphones
I used to constantly buy cheap headphones from random brands simply because I wanted headphones that wouldn’t give me a heart attack if (or when) I lost them. 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, these workhorse in-ear headphones are on sale for $19.99 (originally $39.99), which is the lowest price they’ve reached according to price checker tools .
Anker has been making surprisingly good inexpensive headphones, headphones, and speakers for a while now. The Anker P20i/P25i (same headphones, different names) came out in late 2023 and are decent budget choices, offering features typically only seen 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.
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 for the gym as they are rated IPX5 waterproof. Although they don’t have ANC, the in-ear design of the headphones naturally cancels out a lot of background noise. These headphones work with iOS and Android phones and have a Find My Device feature using the aforementioned app.
If I still lived in the era of cheap headphones, I’d grab these right away.
