Frequency response notes (measured)
SoundGuys finds sub-bass below 100 Hz boosted by up to 7 dB over its target. The upper bass and low mids are under-emphasized by a couple of decibels, with a boost in the upper mids around 5 kHz. ANC on or off does not change the response.3Measurementsoundguys.com/jbl-tune-buds-review-113398Read 10 October 2026Written objective assessment. Measured against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve with firmware 4.9.0.
Bass is emphasized. A dip in the low treble reduces clarity. Left and right drivers are fairly well matched in the reviewed sample.9Measurementrtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-p25i-p20i-true-wirelessRead 7 October 2026Public RTINGS Audio Reproduction Accuracy verdict, original Black A3949 P25i/P20i test unit.

Review says P25i and P20i differ only in name. Earbuds only, no ANC. Test Bench 2.3 review. Public battery method describes looped playback monitored by time-lapse and binaural recording in soundproof box, with level calibration. Exact sample codec, firmware, game mode and original calibrated SPL are not public, so unspecified. Rounded public nine-hour result used, protected detailed result not accessed.10Measurementrtings.com/headphones/tests/active-features/battery-lifeRead 7 October 2026Public continuous-battery methodology: one full earbud charge, case recharges excluded, looped track in soundproof box monitored by audio recording and time-lapse.
