Anker Soundcore V20i Open-Ear Earbuds
Tk 2,350
Traditional earbuds seal off your ear canal, which is great for isolation but not always ideal when you need to stay alert — whether you're jogging near traffic, working from a shared space, or don't like the pressure of silicone tips. The Anker Soundcore V20i takes a different approach with an open-ear design built around comfort, awareness, and everyday practicality. Here's a closer look at what makes it worth considering.
The V20i uses adjustable ear hooks instead of in-canal tips, wrapping securely around the ear rather than plugging into it. This open-ear structure means nothing sits inside your ear canal, which many users find far more comfortable for extended wear — including situations like working out, running errands, or even listening while lying down. The flexible hook design adapts to different ear shapes, aiming for a snug fit that won't shift or fall out while you move.
Because the design doesn't seal your ear, you also stay naturally aware of your surroundings, which is a meaningful safety advantage for outdoor runners, cyclists, or anyone walking in busy urban areas.
Despite the open design, the V20i doesn't skimp on audio performance. It's built around compact titanium-coated drivers paired with Anker's BassUp technology, which adds low-end punch for bass-driven genres like hip-hop and pop. Vocals stay clear, and treble has a bit of sparkle, making it a solid all-rounder for music, podcasts, and calls alike.
The trade-off of any open-ear design is sound leakage and ambient noise bleed — since the ear canal isn't sealed, outside noise can creep in more than it would with traditional or noise-cancelling earbuds. For quiet environments or critical listening, this may be noticeable, but for daily use and active lifestyles, it's a fair compromise for the comfort gained.
The V20i offers roughly 8 hours of continuous playtime per charge, extending to around 36 hours total with the compact charging case. Fast-charging support means a short top-up can deliver hours of additional listening, which is convenient for anyone who forgets to charge overnight.
With an IP55 rating, the V20i is built to handle sweat and light water exposure, making it a dependable option for workouts and outdoor activities without needing dedicated "sport" earbuds. The lightweight construction (a few grams per bud) also means they won't weigh down or tug at your ears during long sessions.
The V20i pairs with the Soundcore companion app, unlocking customizable EQ presets, tap-control mapping for each earbud, and firmware updates. It also supports Bluetooth multipoint connection, letting you stay linked to two devices — such as a laptop and a phone — at the same time, switching seamlessly between them. Built-in microphones with AI-based noise reduction aim to keep calls clear even in moderately noisy environments.
This earbud makes the most sense for:
It's a less natural fit for anyone prioritizing noise isolation, deep bass immersion, or use in very quiet settings where ambient sound leakage would be distracting.
The Anker Soundcore V20i offers a genuinely different take on wireless earbuds, trading isolation for comfort and awareness. With solid battery life, functional sound quality, and a design built for active use, it's a compelling option for anyone who's found traditional in-ear buds uncomfortable or impractical for their lifestyle. It won't replace premium ANC earbuds for focused, noise-free listening, but as an everyday, activity-friendly companion, it earns its spot as a smart budget pick.
