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

I had bought the Soundcore P20i before so I know that the Anker brand earbuds are really good for the price. I needed another set of earbuds for work because the ones I have were finally not charging any more. I decided to go with the P40i because I needed earbuds with good sound quality as well as a clear microphone because of my work as an online tutor. My students said that my voice was much clearer now. I could also hear my students much better. The battery life is also awesome, I can easily use them for 2.5 hours without having to charge them, but if I do, I just pop them in the case for about 10 - 15 minutes and they are good to go for another lesson or two. The added bonus which was unexpected but fantastic is the Soundcore app which is a free download on the App Store but is worth its weight in gold! Not only can you control sound quality, there is the Soundspace section that allows you to listen to sound that help cal and relax you so you can sleep after a stressful day. The thing I use the most is the live translation feature which can literally translate one language to the next with really good accuracy and if you have the Soundcore P40i buds you can hear the live translation, of course there is a couple seconds lag, but that can’t be helped because the app needs to hear a few seconds of conversation before it can translate, but once you get used to the lag it is really quite amazing. The buds sound cancellation are good enough for me, it may be better on the other high-end earbuds,but your not paying over a hundred dollars for an awesome pair of earbuds. The only thing I didn’t quite like about the buds is not the buds itself but the charging case which is a little bulkier than other brands, so if you but it in your pockets, it does create a noticeable pocket bulge, but because I carry a sling and like the fact that the larger case means I can use my buds longer, I am more then fine with that small trade off. I would recommend this product to anyone, and I ended up buying my wife a Soundcore P20i because she just needed simple earbuds that sound good and the bonus is that they also come in pink which is her favorite color. The Anker brand products are affordable but of great quality. I would recommend them to my friends, family, and all of you who come across this review.

I have had the P3i 's and liked the very much. Unfortunately, I dropped the case and they quit working, so.... The fit on these is great. The sound output is superb. The noise cancelling is superb. They don't seem to have all of the noise cancelling options as the other version but I really don't need them anyway. They also hold a charge for days.

This product has been amazing! The battery life of the earbuds last a very long time, definitely overnight. I like the magnets in the earphones that allow it to quickly snap into place in the carrying case. The carrying case carries so much charge that I barely need to charge it. I maybe charge it once a month, if that. I can't understand how such a high-quality product is sold at such a great price. I love the built-in features to cap volume at a certain decibel, which I can set in the app. This definitely eases any concern for damaging my hearing. The earbuds fit well in my ear, the only concern I have is it is difficult to sleep on a pillow with the earbuds in my ears. Overall a great product and definitely recommend. I prefer these earbuds over my Apple AirPod Pros, and paid a fraction of the price.

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 volume Meh: ANC Cons: 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.

Now I would like to start that I am a big fan of soundcore earbuds and headphones. I do own the soundcore Liberty Pro 2 earbuds, so I would be comparing them side by side. I would like to advise you that I really hate stick styled earbuds, however although I'm still not a fan of that style I really really like these. To start off the battery life on these are I would say better than the Liberty Pro two. Even with active noise canceling these last far longer than the Liberty Pros in battery life. Are also a lot lighter than the other ones which can be subjective depending on circumstance and usage. I also think for some reason that these sound better for a variety of reasons such as the seal is better and the way that the tips are shaped help with the sound quality and comparison with the Pro two. The case is also nicer and more compact in the way that it opens and closes. The other ones have a sliding case in which it opens easily and can cause unneeded battery drain. And the opposite is true with the p40i, the case is a tad bit harder to open but it remains closed far better and the magnets for the earbuds are stronger and the placement of the earbuds in the case is far superior. The things that I don't like about the P40i. The first thing I don't like about these is the stick Style of earbuds as they are annoying and are harder to position correctly due to the stick design. I also don't like the sensitivity of the touch controls nor are they as programmable as they should be in the app. I am constantly trying to increase the volume, but due to the nature of the sensitivity I instead increase one bar of volume and then I activate the next track feature in watching YouTube it actually changes the video which is a major con. I also don't like that because of the stick design it is harder to assess the correct position in the ear that it should be in so that it doesn't pop out and that the best seal is achieved. Another thing that I don't like even though they sound overall better than the Pro two, is that the Bass is not as good. And I believe that the lighter nature of the earbuds can feel sort of Airy. However these earbuds in my opinion have better microphones for calls better Environmental muting especially with wind while on the phone and the clarity of your voice is heard much better than the liberty pro 2. Also the active sound cancellation is to my opinion better and it has better options in the app. Please note I got these on sale so for me these are a very great option if you do not want to go with the soundcore Liberty Pro 2 or the new one which I believe is also stick styled. Volume wise I believe the Liberty Pro 2 have a higher volume and the soundstage is just Superior then these. However having both and using both these are definitely a buy for sure. I have not bought or used the new Liberty Pro 3 so I have no reference or comparison to those. I have owned the first Liberty Pro which I still believe although heavier are far more better than the Liberty Pro two in general sound and that it had a physical button which I prefer over touch buttons. Unfortunately for the time that I purchased the spin fit tips they do not fit the p40i's earbuds so I had to return those and use the sound core included ear tips. I have had no connectivity issues in fact I can use them simultaneously with two devices and they are fast to turn on or off and the range is more or less the same as other soundcore earbuds I do hope they keep improving the earbuds in both price per performance and overall quality. I highly recommend these.

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!

Love these! It is great for the cost which is a good in the middle cost. Better than what I expected, sound quality is on point. Love I can download an app and adjust them for multiple uses. Carrying case is wireless charging as well which is a plus, and the earbuds feel good in my ears. Definitely worth the money!

***UPDATE*** (04/28/2024) Anker has reached out to me to acknowledge my concerns regarding this new product, and has expressed that updates and enhancements will be coming in the near future. Based on their excellent customer service provided and potential future product/design improvement, I have raised my rating from 2 to 3 stars. I will be updating this review to either 4 or 5 stars as soon as improvements are made. Thanks for reading. ***Original Review*** Expected Better, especially for cost These ear buds get an average score. Let's focus on the bad, then move into the good. The bad- The P40I earbuds are the same price as Anker's over ears Q30, but definitely cannot out match them in terms of performance, sound quality, loudness, phone calls, and noise cancelling. They do not even compare. We are paying the same price point basically for the convenience of the smaller size, and being able to fit the P40I in our pocket. - While the over ear Q30 head phones are priced fairly, (Don't get any ideas Anker) with less performance and less materials needed for manufacturing, technically these earbuds really should cost less than it's over ears counterpart. This is a big negative for me. Next, when synced to two devices, if you are playing music from a PC and change the EQ from the app on your phone the song pauses each time, so if you are trying to balance out a song and try and select through the list, the song will pause for each selection, very annoying if you go through the whole list the song will pause over 10 times while trying to dial in the sound. Also, you can only have 5 "favorite EQ modes" in your favorite list at a time, I cannot understand why they would restrict you to a "top 5", we should be able to have as many as we want. Additionally, while the added phone mount is definitely a plus, and I will get into that more on the positives section, Anker has really goofed up in regards to using this with the app. This is because the mount requires you to mount your phone horizontally. Which is fine. However, when you go to use the Anker app, to adjust a setting, app only works vertically, which makes no sense whatsoever, because of this, you have to keep removing your phone from the mount to use the app. (Please fix this Anker.) Can't use mount vertically, phone will fall over. Also, while you can make adjustments on the buttons for music, which is a win for the "good" column, you can't adjust volume quickly because if you tap too fast it is considered a double or triple tap. (Anker, the solution for this, please add a setting for bigger volume up volume down increments) also, you can't adjust the button settings for calls, which also makes no sense. Noise cancelling is decent for earbuds, but is not perfect like their over ear counterpart. You will still hear noises only at a reduced level. Another downside is the widget which only assists with noise cancelling modes, which most people will not need because they will stick to one setting, yet their are no widget settings for EQ, which is used way more. It would not be hard to add a button for EQ to the widget menu. Speakers will blow out occasionally at max volume on certain songs. The Good: In terms of earbuds, these are definitely more comfortable to wear than most others, good choice of materials, and the location and use of the tap controls makes sense as you are less likely to accidentally press them when making adjustments, unlike some other types of tap ear buds which can be annoyingly too sensitive to even use. Sound is clear and the EQ is nice. Changing the EQ settings definitely makes a difference in terms of the overall user experience. Example: podcasts, to various genres of music, to audiobooks, etc. Also, it is a huge benefit to be able to customize your own button controls. You can select between 1x tap, 2x tap, 3x tap, and press and hold, for each ear. The mount is a nice added bonus, and has a rubber texture on the bottom of the case to prevent sliding when mounted. Noise cancelling works decent for earbuds, but not perfect like the over ear headphones. Connectivity is good and responsive and you can pair to two devices at once. Mount feature is a nice bonus for watching media. Battery life is great. Conclusion: at the end of the day, these ear buds really should not be in the $60 to $70 dollar range. A good price for these would be $30 to $40 dollars.

ANC feature is worst as if it does not exist.

Only day 2 of usage so I can’t speak for battery life yet, but … Sound quality - utterly stunned at how wide the soundstage is and clarity of all frequencies, from the bass to mid to treble. I’ve been using many (I keep losing them) A90 Pro cheapos whose noise cancelling never worked and sound quality was always variable. I love the app which did an analysis of my hearing and gave me a custom EQ. Noise cancelling - again, utterly brilliant. In auto mode it works a treat and in manual mode on max setting, the kitchen fan virtually disappears. It’s not quite like mu Bose on ear QC headphones but very impressive at this price point (£38 at the time of writing). Case - very clever little case with what was a strange pull up notch which my son discovered and told me it is a phone stand! And I notice the bottom of the case has a rubberised bit that stops it moving about - very clever. App - again very user friendly and intuitive with loads of functionality - from EQ to the brilliantly useful flexibility of being able to set what taps down what functions. Fit - the fit is perfect for my adult ears. Like all things in-ear the key is to find the correct sized rubber / silicone bits (of which it comes with many variations) to properly seal into the ear canal - reducing noise and improving fit. Downside - not as responsive to taps as the A90s were but for now I’m wondering if it’s me just getting used to a difference in responsiveness?🤷‍♂️ I’ll update this review as I experience them for longer, but first impressions are of a very high quality product. Bought a second set for my son. Especially as I find the volume is 1/2 of what it needed to be on the A90 pros due to better sound and actual working ANC! Update 12-Sep-25: battery life is stunningly good, ANC works flawlessly, no connection issues - in fact I have it connected to my laptop and phone at the same time. a VERY happy customer

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.
