In-Depth Review

The Soundcore P20i dominates the UAE market because it offers features usually reserved for AED 200+ earbuds. The companion app allows you to customize the EQ (a rarity at this price), and the "Game Mode" reduces latency. While the call quality is passable for indoor use, don't expect crystal clear calls on a windy Dubai street.
