Amazon’s 2025 Black Friday is here and one product flying off the shelves is a budget pair of earbuds that are drawing comparisons to a certain Apple product.
Hailed by customers for their ‘impressive sound quality and long battery life’, they currently cost a whopping 90 percent less than Apple's bestselling AirPods Pro 2.
Whether you plan to use them for running, relaxing, or just drowning out the noise, the Anker wireless earbuds are being touted as the ultimate Black Friday bargain.

Customers have scored the earbuds a solid 4.3 out of five stars, and at £15.98 (47 percent off), they come in at 90.6 percent cheaper than a pair of Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 (currently priced at £169 in the Black Friday sale).
A pretty good steal, right? But what do purchasers actually say about their favourite product?

Amazon Soundcore by Anker P20i wireless earbuds reviews
More than 5,000 Amazon customers have bought the best-selling Soundcore by Anker P20i wireless earbuds in the last month, with many commenting on the wearable’s comfort, style, and ‘impressive’ features for its price point.
“Perfect sound quality for the price, easily connect to my phone,” gushed one buyer. “I use them for 3/4 hours every day for gym or work and only have had to charge them once a week so great battery life.
“Colour is great and case is very sturdy and lightweight. Pick up very good voice sound on calls too. Simply put amazing value for money.”
“Amazing dupe for Apple AirPods!,” commented a second reviewer.
And with a Black Friday discount, the technological treat costs 90.6 percent less than its wireless earbud rival.
Another reviewer reported: “They're pretty damn decent, these.
“Really good bass response and clear even at the higher levels (which I know I shouldn't play them at but I'm a rocker so there we go). Some of the prices of earbuds these days are just frankly ridiculous but these are more than decent: certainly you'll be happy with them.”
How do Soundcore by Anker P20i wireless earbuds compare to Apple AirPod Pro 2?
Soundcore is lauded on Amazon, having collected 92 percent positive ratings from more than 10,000 customers and pulling in more than 100,000 recent purchases.
But how do the Anker P20i True Wireless Earbuds match up against its rival, the Apple AirPod Pro 2?
According to one fan, they asked their son, who owns a pair of Apple earbuds, to give his verdict, and his review was extremely telling.

"I was so impressed with the sound quality, I asked my son who has AirPod Pros to compare them and he was as gobsmacked as I was,” they wrote.
Another said: "Apple need to up their game, these are amazing for a fraction of the price.”
Like the Soundcore by Anker P20i wireless earbuds, the wireless Apple version removes background noise, is water-resistant, and can be customised through personalised spatial audio.
