If you're looking for a pair of earbuds primarily for high-quality music and gaming experiences, and you don't mind using a wired connection, then the Antlion Kimura Duo could be your choice as they offer better sound quality for these activities. However, if you prefer the convenience of wireless earbuds, plan to use them during exercise, appreciate a longer battery life including a charging case, and need a pair that is sweatproof, then the Soundcore P20i would serve you better and come at a typically much lower price. Keep in mind that the Kimura Duo may have a more durable build, but the P20i brings the added benefit of app control customization. Give Feedback
