   Fantastic. Nothing could make these any better.
   Summary: Zero Real Complaints, 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for wireless earbuds.Just to preface, I don’t have the most extensive experience with wireless earbuds, these are the nicest/most expensive pair I’ve ever had. There may be ‘better’ options out there but I don’t see how they could improve on these in any significant way.The sound quality is great, the bass is plenty powerful and they get quite loud. No complaints from me on sound. I adjusted the EQ through the soundcore app, which was simple enough even for an audio noob like myself, just picked the preset that sounded the best to me (Acoustic). The default flat EQ setting was a little bland so I do recommend seeing which preset you prefer. I haven’t used the microphone so I don’t know how good it is, but I’m sure its perfectly serviceable for wireless earbuds standards.This is the first time I’ve experienced actual noise cancelling, and its kind of insane how well it works. When I turn it on, I can noticeably hear the world around me going near-silent, even in an already quiet environment. Any loud sudden noises or yelling will break through a bit, but even then they’re quite a bit less noisy. Fantastic first experience for noise cancelling.I haven’t used these too much, but so far it seems like the battery life is fantastic. A full charge just in the earbuds will last 6+ hours, plus at least 5 full charges held in the case makes for a long time between case charges. A little thing, but the fact that the case has wireless charging is really nice just to top it off every now and then.The touch controls are very nice, there’s a little bump where the touch sensor is and an audio cue when you touch it. I love that they are customizable per side, and even a different customization when only one is in. I kinda wish you could add controls for 4 or more touches, or maybe have different profiles but that’s such a small nitpick it really doesn’t matter at all.As far as fit and build quality, no problems whatsoever. They fit nice in my ears just with the default medium-size plugs but there’s a lot of options for people with different ears (5 total sizes). I do need to adjust them every now and then, as they start to fall out a little bit especially when I’m at the gym. The case feels very good, LED for charging is a little difficult to interpret but again doesn’t really matter. Little thing, but I love that the case doubles as a phone stand. It’s not really adjustable at all but it beats holding the phone myself.Overall, really a 10/10 experience for me. I genuinely don’t know what could make these any better. I paid $50 for these on sale, which is such fantastic value for what you get. Even at $70 these are great value in my opinion. I don’t know what else is out there at this price, but I don’t see how it could be better than this. If you are looking for good wireless earbuds, I would 100% recommend these.

   Best wireless earbuds ever
   The sound is amazing. Admittedly I’ve only had two other wireless earbud brands before these but they are by far the best ones. I get crisp, clean sound from them unlike previous earbuds that were sometimes dull and less punchy. The sound from these is just so crystal clear and nice.I love the fact that they have an app to use with it that has an equalizer in it so you can adjust the sound to your liking no matter what you are listening to. There are lots of different settings such as Pop, Rock, Electronic, etc. as well as a podcast setting. Plus you can create your own that you can save. The app also lets you see exactly how charged up your earbuds are, as well as the case. So you can tell how much longer they will last. I tend to get about 1 hour per 10% of use. So fully charged, the earbuds last about 10 hours which is much longer than ones I’ve used in the past that would go for only 5-6.It’s also nice that they give you 5 different sized rubber tips to choose from. (The medium ones are pre-installed.) So nice to have just the right fitting tips especially when you have a big head like me. So of course I use the XL size.Now for the final and best bits of all… These earbuds charge up in no time. They go from empty to 100% within about 30 minutes or less. You can charge them up for just 10 minutes and get to 50% power. It is amazing how fast they charge up. Another cool thing is that you can connect them to multiple devices at once. I have mine connected to my phone and my mp3 player at the same time and can switch back and forth between them. That was something I could not do with previous ones. And finally, the fact that the case doubles as a place you can rest your phone on is a cool bonus. These are definitely the best earbuds I’ve ever used.

   Pretty good for the price but mic noise cancelling is so-so
   I bought these specifically for making hands-free calls when driving. My older car is not very quiet, especially when I’m going over 40mph. My Plantronics (bought by Polycom which changed their name to Poly which got bought by HP, I believe) Voyager Legend was the last bluetooth headset that actually did this well. Unfortunately, after Plantronics was bought, even buying the old Voyager Legend directly from the company yielded lower reliability/longevity. So, I sought out a new option for making calls, especially in my car.These earbuds worked pretty well. Most people could understand me when I was driving at speed (45+mph), but my Dad couldn’t until I slowed to 25mph or less. That’s significant to me, so I’m going to return them. But, it is worth mentioning that these earbuds’ microphone noise cancellation did work better than my *1.5 yr old* Plantronics Voyager Legend headset (its quality failed after 1-1.5yrs). Also, the microphone noise cancellation worked WAY better than my Bose QuietComfort earbuds (which sound great and cancel noise wonderfully for listening, but do nothing for the microphone quality) ever did. My Skullcandy ANC earbuds worked a little better than the Bose QuietComfort2 earbuds, but that’s not saying much.Also, total lack of any mute ability from the headset is a huge miss, in my opinion. The single button’s functions are easily programmable (through the app) for single-/double-/triple-/long-press for listening to media, but the functions are hardcoded for calls. And, regardless, the mute functionality was nowhere to be found. I found it difficult to avoid contacting the touch button, accidentally, when pushing the earbuds back in or putting them in my ears. Thankfully, the single-press does nothing, by default, so it never caused any issues.Otherwise, I really need to give a nod to the app quality. Soundcore/Anker is a Chinese company, so my expectation of the usability was low. However, the app actually works remarkably well and is very intuitive and usable compared to other headset vendors’ apps (Poly, Bose, and Skullcandy)! I was most impressed with the ability to connect to 2 devices at a time. I often connected to my cell phone and my work laptop. When I wanted to switch to my phone and my personal laptop, I simply told the app that I wanted to add another device and it was crazy easy! I can easily select in the app which 1 or 2 devices I wanted to be connected to. It takes a fraction of a second to open the audio channel for either device so I would miss the first half or so of a notification sound (e.g. a ding), but calls and listening to media was *super* reliable since the audio channel stays open. This is a huge improvement over my Plantronics Voyager Legend which was very unreliable when connecting to multiple devices, and sometimes failed to even stay connected to a single device.These Soundcore earbuds were very slightly uncomfortable to wear and tended to fall out of my ears, several times, when walking. I could wear them for a few hours, but really noticed the discomfort after an hour or so. I only owned them for a week or so, but they fell out of my ears multiple times when walking. I did try one step larger earbuds in an effort to secure them in my head, but they were uncomfortable and apparently the medium earbuds were closer to the right size. There’s a slight possibility that the small ones would go into my ear better, but that isn’t the main issue, so they’re still getting returned as soon as I have a few minutes to spare at home.Sound quality was pretty good and I enjoyed listening to videos and music through them. Especially considering the price, I would say these delivered very well in this area. They do pretty well at cancelling surrounding noises for my listening benefit. I can select “Noise Cancellation”, “Normal”, or “Transparency Mode” via the app. My coworkers don’t entirely disappear in “Noise Cancellation” mode like they do with my Bose QuietComfort earbuds, but for less than 1/3 the price, I would say that’s not a fair comparison. They did work very well when my coworkers were getting noisy/chatty in an open office atmosphere. Most of my coworkers seemed to disappear and the really noisy ones were much quieter. I was able to play soft music to drown out the noisiest ones.All in all, I’m going to buy the Poly (Plantronics) Voyager Legend, again, and hopefully I’ll get another year or so out of it and hopefully, by then, there will be a better option on the market (maybe the Voyager Legend 50 by then?). Based on the past 3 Voyager Legend headsets that I’ve bought, I expect comfort to last for a few hours and call quality to be great, as long as I can stay connected to my phone before and during the call. 🫤Would I recommend these earbuds? Yes for listening and noise cancellation while listening, and probably for calls, unless you need superb call quality in a relatively noisy environment. My car isn’t horribly loud (maybe it’s louder than I think?) but it’s enough to frustrate the person I’m talking to when the noise got louder. Most people I talked to were fine with it, even when I was driving faster (55mph), but if I can’t talk to my Dad, then these missed the mark.

   Das ist ein cooler Kopfhörer, der Sound ist mega für den Preis. Die Bässe sind voll, Mitte un höhere Frequenzen sind auch gut bearbeitet un klar. Die App hat eine Menge Einstellungen und Presets. Besides gut finde ich die Limitierung der Lautstärke und Dauer zum Schutz des Innenohrs oder Einstellung nach persönlicher Hörvermögen und Vorlieben. Ich habe natürlich den Kopfhörer mit 1More Piston Buds Pro (in ear Bluetooth mit ANC) und Denon AH MM 400 (over Ear ohne ANC) verglichen. Und obwohl die 1More sehr gelobt im Internet und tatsächlich detaillierter Klang hat…im Vergleich können sie mit diese Soundcore 40i nicht mithalten. ANC ist auf gleichem Niveau mit 1 more. Von Soundqualität her nähert sich der 40 I sehr den Denon. Großes Lob !!!
