For better overall sound quality and exercise use, choose the Jaybird Vista 2; they are sweatproof, dustproof, and have higher scores in those areas. However, the Soundcore P20i delivers longer battery life and is friendlier on the budget. Both have active noise cancelling and built-in controls, yet the Vista 2 has an edge in build quality and customizable app controls. For calls, the Vista 2 is better, but the P20i performs well for TV and gaming due to lower latency. If price is a crucial factor and you prioritize battery life over superior sound, the P20i might be the better option. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Chase Bernath | September 2022
"Compared to the original Vista, the Jaybird Vista 2 adds some key features including ANC and SurroundSense to control how much environmental noise you hear. If you're an athlete and are looking for rugged earbuds with tons of customization options, the Jaybird Vista 2 makes for a good option—but only if you are able to achieve a proper fit from the proprietary ear tips."
