Soundcore P40i by Anker, Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds, Black

Pleasantly surprised by these ear buds. Fit and sound is great! Had A40s before and was going to repurchase but decided to try the p40i bc of color and promotion. While the fit was great with the A40s, the p40i actually are a bit more snug and comfortable. I also prefer the controls on the stem style.

So I've been buying really cheap wireless earbuds for the last few years, and they all last about 4 months, disconnect randomly, and sound feeble. I couldn't take it anymore, and after reading some reviews, I picked these up. I am blown away by the quality for the cost of these Anker earbuds! I've been using them for a month now so I could give an honest review, and these are the things I like about them: The App! It's easy to use and enables all the very excellent features of these earbuds. Three modes of noise cancelling, sound tuning, setting the touch controls, and even wind cancelling for the microphones when I'm out walking. Don't skip the app. When I first connected the earbuds to the app they had a firmware update, and no kidding it extended the battery life of the earbuds noticeably. The case! It's easy to pull them out of their case. All the other earbuds I've used (even my first pair of AirPods) have always been hard for my larger fingers to pinch and pull out. These have a roomy pickup space that is easy to use and simple to put back (with a satisfying magnetic click!) The Noise Cancelleing! I accidentally activated the full noise cancelling mode while I was riding in a car and for a moment I thought something had gone wrong with our Kia - I couldn't hear the engine at all and thought it had just stopped running :) The Battery Life! I left my case in my car and worked all day with them in. They lasted my entire work day at a decent volume, taking calls and listening to podcasts, even with noise cancelling. What takes some fiddling: The earbud caps. They come with a bunch of sizes, and it turns out one ear takes a bigger cap than the other, so it took me some time to figure out which one felt/sounded best. It's worth the trouble, just give yourself some space to test them all out and see what works. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking at picking up something in the middle of the earbud cost spectrum. They deliver in all the right ways, and I'm glad I stopped being so cheap and got something that feels like it will last a long time.
