If price is a significant concern, the Soundcore P20i may be more suitable as it is less expensive than the Baseus Bowie MA10. For active lifestyles, the Baseus seems to better suit exercise and air travel, yet the Soundcore also supports sweatproof activities. In terms of sound, the Baseus might not perform well with music or calls, whereas the Soundcore provides a better experience for gaming and TV. For convenience, the Soundcore offers wireless charging and slightly longer battery life. If microphone quality is crucial, the Baseus has a higher mic quality score, although it lacks battery life and wireless charging found in the Soundcore. Give Feedback

"Even if the Bowie MA10 only had some of the features and performance they offer at double the price, they’d be a helluva good value. But given that they far exceed any other earbuds at this price, if you’re looking for an ultra-affordable set of wireless earbuds and you don’t mind their big charging case, you just can’t go wrong."
"I would recommend the Soundcore P20i Earbuds to everyone who loves music and would like to own comfortable pair of earbuds with a great range of sound quality. I would recommend users who buy this device use the right comfortable ear tips as per your ear design."
