SoundcoreC40i by Anker, Open-Ear Earbuds, Clip-On Headphones, Flexible Joint Design, Button Controls, Lightweight Comfort, Stable Fit with Attachable Ear Grips, Expansive Drivers for Clear Sound

Day 1 review- will update again in 30 days.Received these headphones today, immediately out of the box they are ready to pair and play, the color is very nice, case is sturdy, and the headphones themselves are actually pretty cute. I did add the medium sizers to them, but they were easy to attach, and comfortable to wear. I think until I get used to having them sit the way they do they will feel odd, but hopefully that changes. Sound quality was far better than I had anticipated, and from Spotify to a phone call, no issues with connectivity or clarity of sound. I did fully charge the case and will have my first full day with them tomorrow so battery info and functionality in my office will definitely be tested. I look forward to using these in place of my AirPods (that fall out of my eenie weenie ears CONSTANTLY) and will update with more info!

These are a great option for an open-ear design at this price point, the sound is very full and balanced, impressive bass and volume without becoming distorted, I rarely feel the need to turn them up too much even when in a noisy area.I LOVE the Soundcore app, that’s another aspect that really makes it feel like the product is punching above its weight. The app adds so many excellent options to adjust and customize the sound to your liking, is very responsive and quick to update the earbuds, and I’ve run into minimal bugs. The app is also excellent for their sleep earbuds and you can create customized relaxing sounds to upload to the onboard memory (not applicable to this open-ear model, but figured I’d mention it.)Small complaints would be the lack of wireless charging, which is not a huge deal but would have loved to see it to complement my wireless charging docks.Comfort is another slight issue, they feel a bit large and heavy on my small ears, I think these would fit medium-sized ears best, and may be too tight on large or thick ear shapes.They do include some additional small plastic sleeves to slide onto the earbuds to adjust the gap size to be a little smaller (and credit to them for including two sizes, I need different sizes for each ear), but if you have larger ears you’re mostly out of luck, as they will be stiff and probably feel pinchy.I wish they had done a similar design to the Bose Ultra Open buds which I find myself reaching for more often because of the comfort, but still plan to use the Soundcore buds in the summer when they’re more likely to be exposed to moisture and sweat since they have a better water resistance rating.Also concerned I’ll have to remove the plastic sizing sleeves if any moisture collects in there, and I also had one of them crack in half randomly while sitting in the charging case (no idea how that happened!) so I may have to contact the company to get some spares. Wish they sold those separately!As far as I can tell the battery life is very good, though I haven’t used them for a long enough stretch at a time to drain them, so I’m unsure if they live up to the advertised length of time.Overall these are definitely worth a try, I favor the Bose just slightly because of the comfort, but the Soundcore are a really solid pick if they fit you and are a very thoughtfully designed device.

I figured I would try these, I can't put the bud type inside my ear. I have been using the Samsung live buds or The Sony U theater. Over the ear headphones. I want something I can lie down and use. I have only had these a few days, it took some fiddling around with at first to get them on properly. I could see people not giving these a moment because headphones any style are straight forward. To me these are worth it, sound is great it has an app telling me the battery life- etc. I was actually looking at the less expensive model 30 I think, I figured if there keepers might as well step up. Still playing around with these. I'm glad I got these. Very nice work around headphones!

I recently purchased the C30i and was actually enjoying them. I happened to jump back on Amazon and noticed that the C 40i was released so I purchased those as well and did a quick comparison and concluded that the C40i is much more comfortable with its flexible joint and the sound quality is improved. However, the battery life is a bit less, and the overall volume is not as loud as the c30i but not a dealbreaker. I don’t enjoy wearing inner ear buds and the open ears that are out currently are also uncomfortable hanging on my ear. However, these clip on cuff like Buds are fantastic super comfortable and have a decent sound stage to them when listening to music. However I don’t recommend listening to music with these if you enjoy sound quality, these are specifically designed to let the outside surroundings in so you can be a bit more aware. They are not noise canceling and are not designed to do so. Keep that in mind when purchasing. They’re fantastic for audiobooks and podcasts. Movies, videos though there is a little lag. Hopefully, Soundcore can improve the volume and stability in the app on iPhone, it is a little jumpy. All in all for this type of earbud I highly recommend especially for the price compared to Bose.

I tested more than 20 bluetooth headset during past years. I has from brands from Apple, Samsung, Anker, Beats, Shokz and many many others. Any of them are comfortable and remain in my years. This is from far the best off all. They are ultra comfortable. Better than the C30i because is flexible. The sound is very good, deep and clear. Making calls with this is perfect. Right now I connect this to my S24 Ultra and I’m in shock with the call quality and sound. And because is open you remain aware of what is happened around you, you can talk listen other people and never feel the necessity of take off. C30i and this are both awesome. The c40i feel better for me but for sure I’ll buy another in the near future. The future of the button instead of touch is also make this better because you avoid accidental touches. The only feature this need for be 100% perfect is case wireless charging. Great job. Please, do not surrender in this effort. Thanks.
