Choose the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS if you prefer wired earbuds with a longer cable and appreciate overall build quality and sound isolation. They may offer a better listening experience for music, TV, and video, but are not the best choice for exercise or travel due to the lack of sweatproof certification. Conversely, if you're looking for a budget-friendly, wireless option with features like sweatproof certification and an earbud carry size that makes them more portable, the Soundcore P20i could suit your needs better. They also have a longer battery life, support for wireless charging, and are optimized for both Android and Apple devices. However, the Soundcore P20i may not deliver the sound quality of the Aurvana Trio LS, particularly for calls and meetings. Give Feedback

Forbes
Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."
