⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ve been using the Soundcore P40i earbuds by Anker for a few months now after wearing Apple Airpods Pro 2 earbuds for years, and they’ve quickly become my go-to pair for everything—from work calls to workouts and travel.Sound Quality: The audio is crisp and immersive with a surprisingly deep bass for earbuds in this price range. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos, the clarity and balance are excellent. The custom EQ settings in the Soundcore app really let you tailor the sound to your liking.Noise Cancellation: The hybrid ANC is top-notch. It significantly cuts out background noise on the train and in busy coffee shops without that annoying pressure some ANC earbuds cause. Transparency mode is also clear and natural, great for when I need to stay aware of my surroundings.Fit and Comfort: These earbuds are super comfortable—even during long listening sessions. They come with multiple ear tip sizes, and once I found the right fit, they stayed secure during hikes and scooter rides. No slipping or constant adjusting.Battery Life & Charging: The battery life is impressive. I easily get around 10 hours on a single charge with ANC off, and the charging case adds multiple recharges. Plus, wireless charging is a huge bonus.Calls & Mic: Call quality is solid. I’ve had no complaints on Zoom meetings or phone calls, even in moderately noisy environments. The AI-enhanced mics do a great job filtering background noise.App Features: The Soundcore app is one of the best out there. Smooth connectivity, customizable touch controls, and easy firmware updates. I especially like the “Find My Earbuds” feature—it saved me once already!Bottom Line:The Soundcore P40i by Anker punches way above its weight. With premium sound, strong ANC, long battery life, and a super intuitive app, these earbuds are a fantastic value.Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-performance wireless earbuds without breaking the bank.

I got these as a lower-cost replacement for the 1st generation AirPods Pro that I had used for a few years (before one of the pods finally met its unfortunate demise), and I’d say they’re just about as good all-around as those were. The fact that these are a quarter of the price of the AirPods Pro is certainly astounding, and I’m legitimately very impressed. I have always thought highly of Anker/Soundcore’s products, but I bought these for $36 (on sale) and certainly did not expect them to be THIS good LOLSound quality: While the sound quality is not quite as good as the AirPods Pro, I found the smart EQ feature on the Soundcore app to be EXTREMELY helpful in getting the p40i earbuds to sound much better. The noise-cancellation of these p40i is also comparable to that of the AirPods Pro 1st gen in my opinion, given that you fit them properly into your ears (and I’m often in a noisy environment). I am happy with the way these sound; I own an expensive pair of over-the-ear headphones and I am generally picky about sound. When I do wear earBUDS though, I am not super super picky, and I just want something that can (1) be easily connected to my device (2) have long battery life (3) be durable, water-resistant. Basically, for earbuds, I’m looking for a workhorse, and these do the job while sounding excellent for the price!Battery life and Durability: I wear these earbuds A LOT (I can hear street noise inside my house at all hours, and wearing earbuds helps me to focus); while walking, exercising, cleaning, cooking, and also while showering (when I am not submerging my head in water of course), and the p40i have been perfect for all of those! The battery life is incredible, even after months of daily use- the battery life of the p40i is definitely better than that of the 1st gen AP Pros (which struggled to maintain even 2 hrs use even when fully charged after 2 yrs). They are definitely water-resistant and durable as well, having survived multiple instances of light water exposure and multiple drops. I have not kept the case in any sort of protector, and there are essentially no visible scratches on the exterior (again, this is another category in which the p40i offers better performance in my opinion than Apple’s airpods).Connectivity + conclusion: I used to think only Apple products could connect so seamlessly to my iPhone (which is a major selling point of Apple’s Airpods), but these p40i changing my mind! 98% of the time, I am connecting these to my iPhone 14. Connection is seamless, and I have only had to fully re-pair my phone and the p40i once in 5 months of ownership (pairing is also incredibly easy). Also, I have a Dell laptop and a Surface Pro (Windows OS), and the connectivity between my computers and the p40i is a much nicer experience than that of my computers and the Apple AirPods.Conclusion: Honestly, I will not be buying any AirPods device again because of the experience I have had with the p40i- although Airpods work great and are nice, I’ve accepted that earbuds in general just won’t last forever with daily use, so it doesn’t make sense to spend over $100 on them. In 2-3 years when I’m ready for new earbuds, I will likely buy one of Soundcore’s more expensive models as I am truly impressed with the overall quality of these budget-friendly p40i earbuds!
