Our favourite budget-friendly earbuds are back to under $20
SAVE 50%: The Soundcore by Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds are down to just $19.98 at Amazon. That's a hefty price cut from their usual $39.99.
We’re used to seeing wireless earbuds at these prices during events like Prime Day, but it looks like Amazon has made an exception. The Soundcore by Anker P20i true wireless earbuds are back to half price with a limited-time deal, going from $39.99 to $19.97 — one cent shy of its all-time low price according to price tracker camelcamelcamel.
Don’t mistake that price drop with a drop in quality, because the Anker Soundcore P20i are our favourite budget earbuds in our roundup of the nine best models to buy in 2025. With oversized 10mm drivers, these are tuned for an excellent bass — the kind that lets you feel your music instead of just hearing it. You can keep tuning the presets on the companion app until you find an audio combo that’s right for you.
Battery life is another high point. A single charge gets you 10 hours of playtime, with the included case bumping that up to a whopping 30 hours. Even better, a 10-minute quick charge gives two hours of use, which is clutch when you're racing out the door. You’ll also get Bluetooth 5.3 for a stable connection, IPX5 water resistance for sweaty workouts or surprise rain, and a “Find My Earbuds” feature to help recover any rogue buds lost in couch cushions — even putting it a step up from standard Apple AirPods.
There’s also customisation galore via the Soundcore app, with 22 EQ presets and full control mapping. Two built-in mics combined with an AI algorithm help boost your voice on calls, which means you won’t need to yell into your phone like it’s 2009.
Oh, and the whole thing fits in your palm — with a lanyard loop for clipping to your keys, bag, or belt. Whether you're commuting, working out, or just vibing, these are an easy, no-risk upgrade.
We were a little disappointed there’s no noise cancellation or mult-point connection, but at under 20 bucks, these earbuds are punching way above their weight class. But at this price, they probably won’t last long.
If you want to keep upgrading your on-the-go tech on a budget, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is also on sale at its lowest price ever at 47% off. For even more earbuds, check out our list of the three best earbuds for sleeping.
