Fantastic little earbuds!!
OK, before I start let me tell you that I own 11 pairs of (inexpensive) earbuds. I own x2 pairs of Raycon, x6 pairs of Tozos, x1 Back Bay Tempos and now with these, x2 pairs of Soundcores. I also briefly owned a pair of Samsung Buds 2 (they were returned within days!)If I am not working, I am listening to either music, podcasts or audiobooks. Non-stop. I do a lot of studying listening to audiobooks as it maximizes my time while I cook or fold laundry or whatever. Needless to say, I have a bit of experience with earbuds in the $20 to $120 range.Up until now, my go-tos were my Raycon Fitness buds but I've had them and used them almost non-stop for the past 3 years and they were getting a little ragged. During Prime week I got a different pair of Soundcore ones because they were super cheap and had good reviews. They are good, don't get me wrong, but I did not like the "tail" hanging from my ear. I decided I like the type of buds that go into your ears with nothing hanging out, lol. Since I liked the Soundcores I had just gotten I decided to check out what other models they offered and I settled on these.Let's start with the case. It feels well made, heavy and velvety to the touch. I also love that you can see how many charges are left right in the front of it. The magnet closes with a satisfying snap and it pretty strong and secure.The case also charges wirelessly! Big plus for me! I can charge it from my phone via NFC in a pinch.The earbuds are sleek and feel well made and sturdy. They are very light and comfortable in my ears. I almost forget I am wearing them. They are not completely flush with ones ears, they do have *bit* of bulk but not enough to were they will get caught in your shirt as you pull it off and come off. You cannot lie on your side though with them on. This might feel different depending on the shape of your ears though. Not a big deal for me as I do not wear them to sleep. I have Alexa to lull me to sleep lol. Bonus: they connect to TWO devices at once like my Raycon Fitness which is a HUGE plus for me especially when I am working on my laptop while listening to music playing from my phone. I love how I do not need to switch the connection to do a video call or watch a recorded lesson.Battery life: This is the one thing I cannot be 100% sure about yet. They looked almost fully charged on arrival and I used them non-stop for a solid 6 hours with ANC turned on (yes, it does eat at your battery no matter which brand of earbuds you get) before I got a 10% warning. Six hours non-stop right out of the case is pretty impressive and MORE than enough for me.What surprised me was that with 10 minutes of case charging, I got about 40-50% charge back. Wow!!I have them fully charged now and will report back on how long the battery actually lasts after it has gone through 2-3 cycles of charging.The controls are very intuitive but not to the point that a light brush of your hand will activate them. Huge plus! I was getting tired of tucking my hair behind my ears only to have other earbuds controls activate.There is a miniscule delay between touching the control area and the earbud responding, but it is neglible.You can customize the controls via the Soundcore app. The buttons/touch area are big which is great!! I hate trying to pause music in a hurry because someone is talking to me and missing the teeny touch area on other buds. Haven't missed yet with these :) I know I mentioned they are slightly bulky, but here is why this is a good thing: they have enough surface area to where I can adjust them, take them off and put them back on without pressing a button accidentally. Oh! And did I mention it is easy to grasp them when they are in their case?Soundcore app: I LOVE IT!!! Easy to use with SO many customizations available including testing your hearing at different frequencies and customizing your EQ so that you get the best sound for YOUR hearing range. They even have a "find my earbud(s)" function which is great because on occassion I forget where I left them :)As far as fit, they do come with 5 different eartips and the app will guide you through how to pick the perfect size. The one they came in was a perfect fit for me and they are VERY secure. I went for a run and I didn't feel like they slipped once. I didn't need to adjust them AT ALL for HOURS.Right now I am writing this while listening to music and my husband is watching TV next to me. I have ANC on and the volume of my music is not too loud. I cannot hear the TV unless there is a gap between the songs. Even then, they work great as earplugs :)I got the white ones because they were on sale for about $40, but I really wanted the lavender ones. Hopefully they will go on sale at some point so I can get a backup pair.I recommend these 100%

Great sound *and* great fit UPDATED
Own a set of P40s bought here also... and have some meaningful comparisons to make with this A40.Bought the P40s for their frankly amazing battery life claims (which in the field have proven to be accurate and not just plausibly-deniable marketing). A40 has two hrs less life on full charge, which drove me to the P40s -- which also wowed with its *amazing* sound vs. my old inferior pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pros at dbl the retail price. So far so good...But over time the one flaw (at least for this user) P40 had, became an issue: fitment is dirt-poor -- meaning they fall out of ears or need adjustment constantly, in my ears at least. The Jabras were already bad due to how heavy they are vs. the 2024 crop of Li-powered earbuds... but P40 despite feeling half the weight of the Jabras in-hand... fell out like I'd used too-small an earcup. Wrong, as the only size that wouldn't fail the Fit Test on the Soundcore app, did feel initially to seal correctly. The problem is the oblong design of the cups themselves -- you cannot get an oval cup to fit in a round canal and seal, again at least in my ears.So when resting on the sofa, they need minding and readjusting about once every 10m or so, just to preserve their great sound... which is a showstopper.So saw these A40s did not use an oval earcup, but a round one. Not surprisingly taking them out of the box this morning, fit *perfectly* with the same earcup size Fit Test suggested in the app for P40. To boot, the shape of the A40 differs from the Jabras (similar form factor) in that they are a bit shorter, thus stay in contact with the skin of the outer ear more closely -- leading to better retention. I can shake my head as hard as I can, and the fit stays the same -- the Jabras would be in the gutter on a run, which was frustrating as they retailed for $129, more than dbl the cost of these A40s.So were curious about 1) sound, and 2) battery life. Battery will need a few days to figure out, so will update later with more field exps... but the sound? Tbh the only difference I hear P40 vs A40... is the dynamic rage of the A40 is ever-so-slightly muddier. But the P40 won't resolve bass as well, and will clip, again ever-so-slightly, as long as you haven't cranked preamp settings thru the roof. So for the bulk of my listening (80% YT and calls, 20% music) the A40 is the better buy -- unless of course you want them to last a flight from NZ <--> HI, or UK <--> TH -- which 90% of earbuds will tap out long before the landing sequence.So far, having tuned A40 with the app... the only things I find the P40s do better, is respond to touch controls (takes a half-sec vs. virtually instantly), which is offset by the P40 touch 'area' on the earbud body being way too sensitive -- much easier to adjust the A40s in your ear w/o activating touch controls -- which to me is preferable. The case holds just as much charge in hrs-playtime, so really for my use case the A40s have it.Still like the P40s, and will defo take them on long roadtrips or flights, granted no running w/ bags in the airport's a given (which tbh it never is 100% 😅). So P40 will serve bedtime duty and A40s will be for the road and office (job requires lots of moving around and lots of head articulation away from eyes-horizon... which the P40s have dropped out of ears more times than I can count). Reviews for these, pls believe them when they say, it's a great buy not to be missed if you like snug fitment *and* awesome sound.Five stars; will update if any showstoppers or concerns pop up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️UPDATE 10 FEB 25:Having tried both the P40i and A40 now a couple of weeks... I can without any reservation whatsoever endorse getting the A40 between the two.Not only is it less expensive, but the difference in ear tip design + more secure fit in my particular ears make both a secure fit when in different body positions, and doesn't sacrifice any quality of sound I can detect (P40i still feel as if it's a hybrid betw. the no-eartip, non-sealed designs, and true round-section ear-canal-sealing earbuds -- without a clear advantage over each). The only advantage P40i offers for its price tbh, is a slightly more feature-full options list in the Soundcore app, and better advertised battery life on one charge and in the case -- that's it. 10H in my use case is plenty of life, and both take less than 15m on a 2A charger to go from the 'recharge battery' warning, to 100%.Anker has a winner in the A40, by balancing the features I want, with cost. Both the fancy Liberty and P40i both seem to be less so in this regard, given the considerable premiums over A40. I'll be keeping my P40i around, as it's still a better-than-average earbuds..., but they'll be more on backup / loss duty, than daily / sports use.TL;DR:Pros: Amazing bass response for the price; nearly all the bells and whistles available in the P40i for much less cash; nearly identical and very brief charging times vs. P40i; better fit in my ear canals in all situations -- did I mention it's less cash upfront?Cons: 2H less battery life on a single charge; some options like control of normal/transparency/noise cancellation aren't customisable for each earbud, selections apply to both earbudsGet the A40. Or get two, as I'll be doing soon, so you're never interrupted on the road :D
