soundcore Anker P40i, Adaptive Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds | Smart ANC to Environments, Heavy Bass, 60H Playtime, 2-in-1 Case and Phone Stand, IPX5, Wireless Charging, Bluetooth 5.3

If you want a set of earbuds with big bucks quality and big bucks bass but don't want to pay the big bucks then you will not go wrong with these set of earbuds from soundcore. The Soundcore p40i's come with noise cancelling as you would expect and the achieve this really really well. I had these in fast cycling on a cycle lane on a busy road and there was loads of traffic and I could not hear any of the traffic. Now for the astute amongst you, you're probably say not safe riding with noise cancelling but I was on a cycle path. if I wanted/need to be able to still hear around me it also has an ambience setting which means that you can hear what still going on around you and still enjoy the bass and and the the music that you're listening to admittedly not as clear as sharp because you've got background noise seeping in and creating that dirty sound. So what's good about them? Like I said before the sound quality is exceptional on these especially for the price. I listen to various genres from listening to classical music bolero right down to heavy deep house and garage music and everything was crystal clear that I was listening to. Whilst dealing with phone calls as well,especially, on the move I could hear the person on the other end crystal clear and they didn't even realize I was on earbuds when I asked them to give me feedback and tell me if the sound quality was good they were like yeah you're on your phone right and I was like no I'm on the earbuds. The person on the other end of the phone was very impressed. The build quality on these are way better than the P3's that I have uploaded from and the charging case has a really nice sort of rubbery feel to it. The case can also double up as a kickstand for your mobile phone. The earbuds as you would expect to be are ultra light this might actually be a little bit of a negative because they're that light you might not realize they've popped out of your ears until you've stopped hearing the sound. Connecting these to my phone via Bluetooth was an absolute breeze and I've tested the distance between my phone being sat indoors and me walking out in the garden and they do cover a large distance but remember that its going to be different for everyone's phone because of the way Bluetooth is on each person's phone. So if you're looking for quality and great sound without having to speak to your bank manager then I cannot recommend these highly enough, buy them you won't regret it.

These buds are such amazing value for money. I have others that cost about eight times as much and the difference is negligible. They fit well and are comfortable. They have a good battery life and of course a good sound. The noise cancelling works well as do the ear bud controls. Everything about them is good quality. Really. Can’t believe how good they are for the price. If you need new ear buds with noise cancelling then look no further!

Good: sound quality, big bass, strong mids and good treble - not a million miles away from my much more expensive AirPods. Long battery life. Good sound seal in my ears. Good water resistance. Middling: touch control is fiddly, and not especially versatile. Controls change back to defaults if only using one earbud, forgetting what you’ve set in the app. The app is OK, not brilliant. Bad/poor: noise cancelling is very weak, not remotely in the same class as AirPods, but what do you expect for a fraction of the price? Conclusion: a good solid cheap pair of backup earbuds.

My dog destroyed my AirPods and I didn’t want to spend much on a replacement, so I decided to try these. I haven’t tested the microphone yet, so I can’t comment on call quality, but the sound is impressive. The bass, clarity and connectivity are all excellent, especially considering the low price. The plastic case feels a bit cheap, so I’m hoping it holds up over time. The only real issue I’ve noticed is the fit. The earbuds tend to slip out of my ears, which might be due to the bud size or the overall design. When they sit properly, the audio is genuinely amazing. Noise cancellation works, the buttons can be customised through the app and the overall experience is very good for the cost. I tested them on both iPhone and Android and they work perfectly with both.

Solid earbuds with epic battery life, but know the call quality tradeoff Sound & battery: Bass hits hard (BassUp mode is great for workouts), and 60-hour total playtime is no joke—I've gone days without charging. The 10-min quick charge giving 5 hours is a lifesaver. Case stand: Actually useful, not a gimmick. Great for propping your phone for video calls or watching shows. ANC: Decent for the price—handles office noise and plane hum well, but don't expect Bose-level silence. Adaptive feature works but can be inconsistent outdoors. Call quality: This is the catch. A few people said I sounded muffled or "underwater" during calls. If you take lots of calls, this might frustrate you. Fit: Comes with 5 tip sizes—once you find the right one, they're comfy and gym-proof (IPX5). Verdict: Perfect for bass lovers, gym-goers, or anyone who hates charging. Skip if crystal-clear calls are non-negotiable. Still, at this price, it's hard to beat the feature set.

Bought these having now lost 2 pairs of expensive earbuds (samsung galaxy pro and bose quiet comfort). These are functionally better and sound just as good. I really like the case with its phone holder which I had disregarded when considering these but has been useful from day 1. The noise cancellation is brilliant for cutting out background noise from people talking, but not so good for continuous 'white noise' like my lawn mower. Nice app, nice quality feel of the earbuds, and they fit nice. No complaints, and a fraction of the price I've paid before.

Bought these to replace my anker liberty that were stolen. That pair was my intro to anker. I have the Apple earbuds latest version and both the liberty and these 40i and for me both these Anker models s*** on the Apple in terms of sound ANC and the outstanding battery life. The sound is rich and warm and the bass outstanding. And these were £200 less! What the actual! Apple you take the p***. Also the case doubles as a phone stand. Very cute. Buying these is a no brainer - Anker produce the best budget (comparable to high end) earbuds on the market. I wouldn’t buy any other.

Typical earbud design, nicely done. Comfortable and sound quality is good for the price. The associated app is good - customising the equalisation by a hearing test is nice and some of the features do improve sound quality a little. Not much bass but then they are only relatively cheap earbuds. Main disappointment is the noise cancelling. Initially didn't seem to work at all but AnkerDirect stepped in to help and have now got them set up well enough to get some effect. Nothing like you see with higher end earbuds (used to use QuietComfort but they died) but some effect. Beware that the tips themselves are thin and getting the right tip and fit makes a significant difference to sound quality and noise cancelling, naturally enough. With other buds I use the default "medium" tips. With these the medium tip felt fine and secure but the app's "Tip Fit Test" said they weren't sealing well enough. Had to go to the XL size and change the angle I wear them at to get a passing fit. With that the quality was much better and at least some sound cancelling effect. The Tip Fit Test is buried in the app settings menu instead of being on the main page or setup screens so easy to miss.

I purchased the Anker P40i's as a test due to the short and disappointingly diminishing battery life my relatively new AirPods Pro were providing. I wanted to see if the price/performance was as good as other reviews have mentioned and I have to say that they have delivered on every level. Battery: As many people have mentioned, these earbuds can last all day. With my AirPods it became a habit during my day to use only one ear until the battery died then switch to the other and hope it lasted the day. This is a complete 180 with the Anker soundcore, the case charges the earbuds quickly and I rarely have to think about whether I will have enough charge as the excellent battery life demands very little of you other than very occasionally charging the case. Customization: I found the soundcore app very easy to get setup, it auto detected my earbud model and I was able to quickly test out multiple EQ presets until I found one I liked. You do also have the choice to configure and save multiple custom EQ settings on your own. What I REALLY liked was being able to customize single/double/triple tap functions for each ear. Sound: I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the audio on these earbuds compared to my AirPods, especially after configuring the EQ to my liking. There is a preset 'bass booster' which is relatively standard but I found the Electronic/Hip Hop settings provided the best audio for the type of music I listen to. Using these at work I also switch from streaming/YouTube to a Teams meeting and back, and have had no complaints about mic quality/clarity. Value: I purchased these using a coupon (Still active at the time of this review) and at the sale price, you can buy FIVE pairs of these for the same price as one pair of Apple's AirPods Pro. Do you get in-ear detection or spatial audio? Absolutely not. Are either of those a deal breaker for me at this price? Absolutely not. I can't recommend these enough, for daily usage in work or home environments they check every box I need.

ANC feature is worst as if it does not exist.

I’m really happy with the Soundcore P40i. Pairing was quick and painless, and once it’s set up it connects to my phone immediately. Take it out of the case and it just works, no waiting, no fiddling. Sound quality is excellent for the size, clear and punchy, and more than good enough for music, podcasts, and calls. I also really like the magnetic snap when putting the earbuds back in the case, it feels solid and well-designed. They sit comfortably in my ears, even for longer listening sessions, and the included different ear tip sizes are a nice touch and make it easy to get a good fit. The touch controls are simple and responsive, skipping tracks works reliably without having to tap ten times. The only small downside is that it doesn’t support multi-device connectivity, so switching between devices isn’t seamless. That said, it’s a minor nitpick compared to how well everything else works. Overall, great value, reliable, comfortable, and very easy to use. Would definitely recommend.
