Anker Soundcore Spirit vs RHA T20 (2015)

The Anker Soundcore Spirit Pro is a great Canal Earphone for its $30 asking price.

The RHA T20 (2015), however, is merely passable at its $218 price point. If you're considering buying a Canal Earphone in the $250 range, you might want to check out some of its competitors.

The Anker Soundcore Spirit Pro was loved by reviewers at Tom's Guide, a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "The best cheap running headphones in 2021" roundup where it was named its "Super-cheap sports headphones with great sound", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

Moving on to the RHA T20 (2015): it was unable to reach the very top of any roundups from sources that conduct reliable and unbiased testing. Nonetheless, it still managed to impress reviewers from a number of such sites, like Head-fi, Techradar, SoundGuys, HomeTheaterReview.com, PCmag, What Hi-Fi?, TrustedReviews, Headfonics, Audioholics, and Wirecutter (NYTimes), enough for them to include them on those lists.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like Head-fi, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two Canal Earphones best and found that the Anker Soundcore Spirit Pro got its highest, 10, review score from reviewers at Head-fi, whereas the RHA T20 (2015) earned its best score of 10 from Head-fi.

Lastly, we averaged out all of the reviews scores that we could find on these two products and compared them to other Canal Earphones on the market. We learned that both of them performed far better than most of their competitors - the overall review average earned by Canal Earphones being 7.4 out of 10, whereas the Anker Soundcore Spirit Pro and RHA T20 (2015) managed averages of 9.5 and 8.5 points, respectively.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Anker Soundcore Spirit Pro vs. RHA T20 (2015) comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
