The Soundcore P20i might be a more budget-friendly option, providing good sound quality for casual listening. On the other hand, Youthwhisper Bone Conduction Headphones offer a unique listening experience where the ears remain open to ambient sounds, which is safer for outdoor activities like biking or running. Bone conduction technology typically doesn't deliver the same level of bass and overall sound quality as traditional earbuds but is a great choice if situational awareness or wearing earbuds for extended periods is uncomfortable. Consider the P20i for a cost-effective, traditional listening experience or the Youthwhisper if you prioritize safety and comfort during physical activities. Give Feedback
