The JLab Go Work Wireless headphones are priced higher and offer superior comfort, microphone quality, and call performance, making them suitable for long work sessions and clear communication. However, the Soundcore P20i earbuds are much more affordable and provide better gaming and TV video performance. They also have a longer battery life and support wireless charging, which could be more convenient. It's important to consider what you prioritize: higher sound quality and comfort for professional use with the JLab or budget-friendly, versatile earbuds like the Soundcore P20i for media consumption and longer use without charging.

Headphone Check
Maike Paeßens | 2021
"If you are going to criticise the JLab Go Work, it would be for the cables, which are to some extent too short for their intended use, and for its rather harsh treble reproduction above moderate volume levels in music mode. However, the call quality during telephone calls and video conferences in voice mode via wireless and via cable is impeccable. This handy Bluetooth headset also scores points with its excellent battery life and support for multipoint connections."
