soundcore Anker V20i, Open-Ear Wireless Headphone, Adjustable Ear Hooks

Overview

Enjoy your music while staying connected to the world around you with the soundcore by Anker V20i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones, designed around a lightweight, non-intrusive fit that sits outside the ear canal rather than sealing it.

Ideal for commuting, walking, running, working and everyday listening, the V20i combines a four-position adjustable ear-hook design, large 16mm titanium-coated dynamic drivers, BassUp technology, directional acoustics, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint connectivity, four AI-enhanced microphones and up to 36 hours of total playback with the charging case.

Unlike conventional in-ear earbuds, the V20i does not insert silicone tips into the ear canal. Instead, its open-ear design positions the speaker close to your ear while leaving the ear canal unobstructed.

This provides two major benefits:

• Greater comfort for users who dislike in-ear pressure
• Improved awareness of traffic, conversations and surrounding activity

soundcore specifically positions the V20i for customers who want to continue hearing their environment while listening to music, podcasts or calls.

The ear hooks can be rotated between four adjustable positions, letting users find a more secure and comfortable fit for their individual ear shape. soundcore's support documentation confirms the multi-level adjustment system is intended to improve both stability and comfort.

Audio is delivered through unusually large 16mm drivers with titanium-coated domes. Combined with soundcore's proprietary BassUp technology, they are designed to compensate for one of the traditional weaknesses of open-ear headphones: bass response.

The V20i also uses Directional Acoustics to focus audio towards the listener's ears while helping reduce unnecessary sound leakage.

Battery performance reaches up to:

8 hours from the earbuds

and:

36 hours total with the charging case.

When battery power is low, a 10-minute quick charge provides up to approximately 1 additional hour of playback.

For calls, the V20i uses a four-microphone system combined with AI processing, designed to make speech clearer during compatible Bluetooth calls.

Bluetooth 5.4 provides the wireless connection, and multipoint / Dual Connection allows the headphones to remain paired with two devices at the same time, making it easier to move between a phone and laptop. soundcore confirms Dual Connection is enabled by default.

The earbuds are also rated IP55 for resistance against dust, sweat and splashes, making them suitable for exercise and outdoor everyday use. The charging case itself is not waterproof, and the earbuds are not designed for swimming or diving.

A distinctive visual feature is the integrated customisable lighting system. The lights can be personalised and synchronised with music through supported settings, giving the V20i a more expressive appearance than conventional open-ear earbuds.
