If you prioritize sound quality and build, the JBL Tune 710BT headphones have a slight edge and also feature decent mic quality, making them suitable for calls and meetings. They're better suited for longer listening sessions and air travel due to their higher comfort rating and longer battery life. However, the Soundcore P20i earbuds are less expensive and offer better quality for gaming and watching TV and videos due to lower latency. They're also more portable, come with a case that provides additional charges, support wireless charging, and are sweatproof, which makes them more suitable for exercise. Choose the JBL Tune 710BT if you need better overall sound and are okay with a higher price, or opt for the Soundcore P20i for gaming, portability, and fitness use at a lower price point.
