If you prioritize wireless convenience and features for daily use like calls and meetings, the Soundcore P20i is the better choice with its integrated mic, wireless functionality, and app control customization. However, the KZ ZSN Pro, while lacking a mic and wireless capabilities, offers a detachable cable and is favored for music with a higher sound quality and build quality. Remember though, the KZ ZSN Pro is often somewhat more expensive compared to the Soundcore P20i, which also offers better suitability for exercise, with sweatproof certification, and active noise cancelling.

"Undoubtedly the focus and the star of the show, the ZSN Pro’s bass is big, bold and bangin’. The amount of gusto in the low end should satisfy anyone who likes a large lick of bass and even certified bassheads will probably get a kick out of this."
