If audio quality is your prime concern, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds deliver superior sound and have active noise cancellation, which is great for immersive listening experiences, but they are significantly more expensive than the Soundcore P20i earbuds. On the other hand, the Soundcore P20i offers good sound quality but lacks active noise cancellation, making them less optimal for noisy environments. They are, however, much more affordable. The Sennheisers also have a more robust feature set with aptX Adaptive support, adding to their overall value for those who prioritize high-quality audio and features over price. The P20i make up for this with longer battery life, which is beneficial for extended use without frequent charging. Give Feedback
