If noise cancellation is a priority for you, especially for air travel, the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC offers active noise canceling, which the Soundcore P20i lacks. However, the Soundcore earbuds are sweatproof, making them more suitable for exercise. For gamers and those who watch TV and video, the Soundcore P20i offers better suitability than the JLab headphones, which may have higher latency. The Soundcore P20i also boasts more extended battery life and supports wireless charging which the JLab doesn't, but they are less comfortable for long-duration use compared to over-ear headphones like the JLab Jbuds Lux ANC. If budget is a concern, the Soundcore P20i is much less expensive and might provide a good balance of features for the price. Give Feedback
