What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Battery claims are inconsistent: the feature text states 12 hours per charge and 60 hours with the case, while the specifications list 36 hours for the earbuds and 60 hours for the case. The listing also claims wireless charging, but its explicit contents list names a wireless charging case without clarifying charging conditions. Confirm the relevant battery and charging details for the selected listing. Water resistance is described only as “Water Resistant” in the specifications, while IPX5 appears in a highlight, so the protection rating is not consistently established.
What’s in the box
Included- Eartip
- USB-C cable
- Wireless charging case
- Soundcore P40i earbuds
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Listeners seeking in-ear Bluetooth earbuds with adaptive noise cancellation and a transparency mode.
- Travellers who may make use of a charging case that doubles as a phone stand.
- People prioritising a long claimed total listening time and willing to check which battery figure applies to their use.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need a clearly specified water-resistance rating or a single, unambiguous battery-life figure before purchase.
- Listeners who require a wired headphone connection, as the listing specifies no headphone jack.

Customer feedback reports positive impressions of battery life, connectivity and value, with some customers describing easy connections to two devices. Reports on noise cancellation, sound quality, fit and durability are mixed, including accounts of earbuds falling out and some units breaking within two months. For buyers choosing ANC earbuds for calls or travel, that variation matters: listed features such as adaptive ANC and six microphones do not ensure the same experience for every wearer.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the battery life and connectivity positively, including easy connections to two devices.
- Some customers praise the noise cancellation and call clarity.
Negative themes
- Some customers report poor noise cancellation or say they could not hear anything.
- Some report that the earbuds fall out, and some describe units breaking within two months.
Mixed feedback
- Feedback on sound quality, fit, noise cancellation and durability varies, so comfort and performance may not suit every user.

Does the case work as a phone stand?
Yes. The listing describes the charging case as doubling as a phone stand for hands-free viewing.
