Soundcore Sleep A20 review

Soundcore Sleep A20 is the value route into sleep earbuds that do more than block noise. It costs $179.99 on Soundcore's US store, $20 less than the A30, and gives up active noise cancellation to get there. In its place is what Soundcore calls a 4-Point Noise Masking System: Twin-Seal ear tips that the company says block three times more noise passively, sound masking and Smart Volume Control. For side sleepers, Soundcore uses an Air Wing and a 3D ergonomic design wrapped in ultra-soft material for what it calls pressureless comfort. Battery life is the standout. Sleep mode runs 14 hours on a charge and up to 80 hours with the case, while Bluetooth streaming runs 10 hours with 55 more from the case. A MEMS sensor and real-time clock track sleeping position and movement. If your noise problem is a steady hum rather than heavy snoring, the A20 covers most of what the A30 does for less.
