INCREDIBLE Bluetooth Earbuds at a GREAT Price!
Unsurprisingly, Anker has done it again. These Bluetooth earbuds are absolutely incredible. I own over 30 Anker/Soundcore products and I swear by them. Amongst these products are two (well used) pairs of Soundcore Life P3’s. I love them because of the sound quality, volume level, size, and battery life. While browsing anker’s products, I happened upon these Soundcore Life P40i Bluetooth earbuds and I was immediately interested. Knowing the great quality of all of my previously purchased Anker products and, considering these P40i’s were on sale, I figured I couldn’t go wrong. Boy was I correct. These earbuds are amazing. Unlike other brands of earbuds I’ve tried, these things get loud; not loud to the point that you’ll hurt your ears or be unable to withstand it, but loud enough that you won’t be wishing you could turn them up more. The smart noise cancellation feature is really neat. I’m in construction so the noise levels vary greatly from day to day. The smart noise cancellation keeps up by changing the type of ANC. It’s really cool. Another feature I like and one that differs from the Life P3’s is the small little nub located on the earbuds’ “touch-control” zone. It’s very convenient. In addition, there’s an audible beep when you successfully tap for touch control which has absolutely zero delay. This is great to me because it confirms whether or not you actually touched the earbud. I posted a few side by side photos of these Soundcore P40i’s and one pair of my Soundcore Life P3’s because I wanted to know the size difference in the earbuds and the case and couldn’t find any reviews mentioning it or information elsewhere mentioning it. In case anyone is interested, the P40i’s case is a little bit smaller and the earbuds’ themselves are slightly shorter. It’s great because the P40i’s are EVEN MORE compact. The battery life of these is the best; bar none. 10h per earbud per charge. I have yet to hear the “battery low” alert. The addition of the phone stand clip within the case is ingenious and a new feature that I love. I watch lots of movies and tv shows on my phone. Now, rather than holding my phone, I can put it in the P40i’s case in front of me. It’s a small feature but works wonders for my use. Lastly, the sound quality of these earbuds is insane. There are enough preset EQ options to make everybody happy but it doesn’t stop there. You can go through the soundcore app to do a hearing test and create an EQ catered to your specific level of hearing. In addition, once you’ve completed the hearing IQ, you can tweak your custom EQ setting even further by adding a preset EQ on top of it, or manually altering it yourself. I’d by 10 pairs of these if I could. For anyone out there that’s even considering these earbuds as an option, just buy them already. You will NOT be disappointed. That’s a guarantee. Great job Anker/Soundcore!

Still love the sound, fit is problematical. Will try the p30i and still get the Sony xm5
Update 2 after Prime Day 7/20/24:Replaced with the p30i which are smaller and I’ll keep them. They haven’t fallen out of my ears yet. ANC is meh but Anker passive isolation is quite good. My issue is I’m just not used to wearing earbuds with those little tails. And the angle in which the Anker is going to my ears is a little weird. But like I said I’m keeping them. They’re good.Did I repurchase the Sony’s? Yes, I just bought the XM5 and I still think it’s worth $170-ish more because of the sound quality. It’s beautiful sound. Wind noise reduction is also better as is ANC. I haven’t tried Bose so can’t compare ANC. The p30i now my backup. You can’t go wrong at this price. The sound quality compared to the Sony is flatter and thinner, but not like night and day; battery life and range are still quite good (I suspect battery life will be better than the XM5 for sure), and I still can multipair and have LDAC. I’ll make do.Update 30 days later: I’m having problems with the fit despite trying different ear tips. I would love to get replacement ear tips but there are none available that fit this unique oval earbud shape. I’m going to give the p30i a try because it seems smaller and the reviews give better marks for fit. If I can get the Sony MX5 earbuds at a good price, I’ll probably still buy them.Pro: sound, price, stellar battery life, multipairing, call quality, connectivity range, powerful volumeMeh: ANCCons: Fit and unavailability of better replacement ear tips; wind noise; controls (I cannot adjust the left earbud without the settings changing)After 8 months of wear, Sony’s left earbud sound degraded to the point where I could barely hear it and the battery life has been decreasing pretty constantly. Very disappointing because Sony’s sound is absolutely stellar. Sony couldn’t replace them. So they’re sending me a snail mail check refund and an RMA. These earbuds are intended to be a stopgap until I get the WF-1000MX5 replacement for the Sony’s, which I bought on Prime day and will have to wait to buy on Prime Day again if I decide to go with the MX5. Because price.I just installed these (easy) and am having an initial listen right now. I’m quite impressed. I wasn’t completely happy with the TOZO NC9. They sounded sort of compressed and not spatial. And the fit? I kept having to push them in my ears especially, the right one, to completely hear the bass. So the minute I started wearing these I filed a return for the NC9.P40i sound is heads and shoulders better. Aside from some faint scratchiness which I may be able to edit out, it’s very impressive. Pretty good compared to the Sony too. They fit better in my ears even though they’re larger and I’m not used to stuff with a tail on it. And Anker lets me use an app which I got used to with the Sonys. And I love the ear test in the app. It did improve the sound for me. I’m sticking right now with the original installed sleeves but there are four more to try.The test song I use for all three is Weird Fishes by Radiohead. It’s a song that is not too bass, has really clear mids and crisp highs. The engineering really gives me a chance to appreciate the sounds because there are silences between them. It’s really well produced for a fairly fast song. And it really pays to have something that really brings that out. You can’t be muddy with this song. Even the NC9 was not muddy with that, but it was a little muddy with other stuff. Currently I listen to mostly K-pop boy bands, but I also listen to hip hop and pop music and EDM. And I will walk to Opera as well.I can’t comment fully on the active noise canceling because I’m still in the house. And frankly the sound isolation is pretty good. I also found the sound isolation on the NC9 pretty good. This is a really early review so once I have a chance to put these through their paces I can edit for ANC and voice and video calls.What I’m giving here is my positive impression of the sound compared to the NC9. I love how these p40i sound. And let me tell you, the volume is strong. I have to turn them down, but continue to get the full range of sound.Controls? I have the same comment on the controls as I do with the TOZO. When I changed from ANC to ambient on the Sony, a voice would tell me. No beeps. I have a hard time getting used to these beeps to tell you the truth. Even when I had to change the volume, advance to next or back. there weren’t these beeps: Sony just did it.If the Anker sound continues to impress me, the other features work out, and they feel comfortable and work well, I just may keep them instead of using them as a second pair with the Sony. I had also intended to try Technics AZ60 as a possible replacement for the Sonys as they’re both multipoint, and Sony has LDAC (Technics may also have and be lossless, not sure). I’ll wait for a while to see how these work out before I try them. And I have a month to decide about the Sony’s.P40i is efinitely worth paying more for – not much more expensive, and vast sound improvement.

Bought these on sale for working out. They’re comfortable for long periods of time and the battery lasts forever. Sound is superb for the price – I can control EQs with presets or fully custom options. Five different sized ear buds make these suitable for pretty much any size ear, so that was a nice addition in the package.I personally don’t like aggressive ANC, so the modest noise cancelling is great for me (RTINGS pegged it at about -8 decibels overall, although it was -13 to -14 decibels better in certain scenarios, such as airplane/office/street). I walk extensively and like to be able to hear traffic, and when working out I want to know when people are nearby so I don’t bump into anyone. Wind reduction works quite well, although isn’t perfect. Again, not a flaw for me – I’d rather have more natural sound throughput than artificial silence.Charging is fast, the case is sturdy and small, with a magnetic closure. Everything just works really well together.Bluetooth connection is quick and reliable, with a surprisingly good range. I can leave my phone in one room and wander around my home without needing to worry about interrupted music/podcasting.I highly recommend these earbuds for your daily drivers. They’re not terribly expensive (I got them on sale – $69 CAD pre-tax) so you don’t have to worry about where they are every ten seconds. Their build quality is high and their sound quality is excellent. Seriously, I have more expensive earphones and they’re currently sitting on my desk gathering dust.

De ANC doet weinig. Hoogstens de helft wordt weggefilterd.Het geluid is goed en de bassen zijn indrukwekkend (voor als je daar van houdt).Ik moest meteen een firmware update doen. Die lukte pas bij de 4e poging.In de app zit een equalizer. Die werkt goed.Voor de prijs een aanrader.

Llevo solamente 3 semanas usando estos auriculares pero me han sorprendido gratamente. Vengo de unos Tronsmart Spunky Beat que, por su precio (25€), estaban muy bien, aunque ya tenían unos añitos. Decidí apostar por estos Soundcore por las reviews tan buenas que tenían y por haberlos pillado en oferta, no me arrepiento para nada.La calidad de sonido es muy buena, pese a no tener Hi-Res, con unos bajos potentes y unos agudos equilibrados, además del plus de poder ecualizarlos con la app mediante una audiometría para adaptarlos a tu audición.Nunca había tenido ANC en unos auriculares (los Tronsmart no la tenían) y la verdad que, una vez que te acostumbras a ella, si se nota en medios más ruidosos como el transporte público aunque es cierto que los Tronsmart por ejemplo aislaban muy bien del exterior pese a no tenerla ya que se adaptaban muy bien al oído y aislaban mucho del entorno.En cuanto a las llamadas, solo he realizado un par de ellas y en entornos medianamente ruidosos y mis interlocutores me dijeron que me escuchaban medianamente bien y podía mantener una conversación con ellos, con otros auriculares (incluídos los Tronsmart) era casi imposible que te escuchasen en una llamada.La batería es espectacular, dura muchísimo, me vinieron con cierta carga y todavía no he cargado el estuche desde que me llegaron.En resumen, muy muy contento con la compra, unos auriculares que, en oferta por el precio que tienen, son una muy buena adquisición. Calidad-precio de lo mejorcito.
