Anker Soundcore - C40i

I have Soundcore C40i. Got them for 50£ on aliexpress. They are cool. Sound pleasant, app is easy and clean. Case is small although plastic not greatest. I use them mainly around home or when watching TV. Regarding fit well I'm big male and don't have any issues. They also come with 2 different sizes of silicone to adjust fit. Hope that helps

I received C40i yesterday. I like it a lot, and actually now I am in big trouble, because I really like it, but I have issues with let bud. Right bud sits perfectly on my ear, and I quickly forget I am wearing it even. But the left one gives me so much pain after a short while. I have tried everything, added the inserts, remove them, position in different spots on ear, and it still hurts! I need to find a way to continue using it, but I have no idea what to do anymore... I do not want to buy Huawei freeclip because they don't have buttons like c40i. buttons are really great for this buds style, it's a big dealbreaker for me if buds have touch control. I hope Anker releases next generation with LDAC and improved comfort, otherwise I have no idea what to do.... Until then, I have to tolerate this pain in my left ear

For running I've switched to clip-ons because they are open and therefore don't produce that "thudding" sound on every step. Currently the Soundcore C40.

hi mate i wanted to ask you seriously im trying to love these :D i owned so far 4 diff models. and recently just got c40i after failure of huawei freeclip, QCY c30, Beasus mc1.. c40i is the best so far for me but only indoor listening i can never listen anything outdoor. volume is vanishing no sound alike or i need to cracnk above 60-70% then sound quality get damaged lowering thickness etc.. i live in very big city and noisy in the middle of day but early hours fine.. or cafe etc is fine but over or in metro damn.. or crowded street :) . should i also try shokz or i will feel same and no difference for me ? PS: i have IEM, and TWs some just im trying to love these open buds as they are very convienent in many stiuation but failure in term of sound thanks

Looks sick. I currently have Jlab flex and Soundcore c40i. When will these drop other places that just Japan? I don't know enough about Shokz.. actually never tried anything from them.

You can try to buy some clip on or hook on style earbuds that don't go in the ear if that is causing any discomfort. Some options I would recommend are the Soundpeats PopClip or Pearlclip Pro. Soundcore also makes some great clips on earbuds that I've tried such as the c30i or c40i. And for hook on earbuds under 100 USD, I would mainly recommend the Earfun openjump.

They are quite large as clip on imo and they don't stay on me well for my smallish ears. Imo the soundcore c30i or c40i stay on better

I had good service from the Anker Soundcore Space A40. I bought them in June 2023 and they worked great until I lost one earbud in May 2025. Sound quality was good, battery life was very good and fit was comfortable. It's currently going for R1299 on Takealot. I've since switched to the open ear Soundcore c40 and I like them a lot. Sound quality is not as good as the Space A40 but I like that I can hear everything around and I forget that I'm wearing them.

Probably the best clip on ear buds out there. I've been on the hunt for truly open earbuds, tested Bose Open Ultra, Soundcore C40i and Soundcore Aeroclip. Recently managed to get my hands on these earbuds that was just released last month. So far IMO, it's the best in terms of sound, call quality and looks.

Currently only Japan. I have the C40i, these are worth the upgrade based on audio, comfort and call quality.

Yes! I prefer this type of earbud while running now. I have the Open Ultra and a cheaper pair, Soundcore c40i, that I'm less worried about losing or abusing.

Bose Ultra Open (or the more affordable Soundcore C40i) , won't touch the helicis crus.

Anker C40i Buds. Open ear clip-on, you can use all day without any ear fatigue and you can be aware of your surroundings. Best part, less than 100usd.

Soundcore open ear have been great, can't really go wrong with Shokz either

Agree on their pricing. I love my soundcore buds but battery life had dropped off too. I do use my $30 sound core open ears for the office and around the house but needed cheap anc buds for short flights where I don't want to carry my over the ears. I do love the wings on the liberty pro 3 buds tho, really comfy.

Soundcore Aerofit 2 are a godsend. Shokz do not work for my head for whatever reason and these an amazing open ear alternative

I bought the soundcore open ear buds (so no band) and really like them, especially for the price compared to Shokz! From my research, sound quality with open ear/bone conduction will never be as good as traditional buds, so I went with a cheaper option and am very happy with them!

I was honestly surprised by anker soundcore. My wife stole my Buds live so I got her soundcore. They are surprisingly good for their price.

Soundcore by Anker, 100%

I've had a couple of these and they are pretty good for the money

Incorrect. Anker Sound core are a solid choice.

I was skeptical about wireless earbud until I got some. I have a cheap anker soundcore set that I use for podcasts, and the Nothing Ear 1 that has amazing sound.

I've tried many brands (beats, Sony, pixel buds, akg, master and dynamic$$) and I've finally settled on the. Anker Soundcore for me. I use the p40i with the Comply foam tips and I've had no complaints during my calls. Great part is that model of earbud is relatively cheap to stock up on in case you have a habit of misplacing them like I do. My current Pixel is the 8.

I have a cheap pair of Funsound ear buds that I have been wearing everyday for more than 5 years and they still last 6+ hours on a charge and recharge in 30 min in the case. Sadly my $99 Anker Soundcore and $199 Samsung Galaxy buds Pro3 last only a small fraction of that time.

I have the soundcore and they are solid... not sure if they are the best of the 3 but won't disappoint you

I wonder if you just got unlucky with Anker (or I've been lucky)? I've had at least a couple of pairs of their Soundcore earbuds that have worked extremely well for me until I eventually lose them.

Try Anker soundcore range earphone or headphone .they are not that expensive but sound very good and also battery last so long that you can't believe.

i have the Soundcores and i think they are pretty good.

[Soundcore by Anker](https://s.shopee.ph/AA33ARqH2p) Sound quality is good. May ANC na rin siya. Also affordable

Anker soundcore. Affordable, great battery life. Excellent adjustable noise canceling.

attention quand même avec nothing. J'ai des buds pro et j'ai du échanger déjà deux fois d'écouteurs car celui de droite se déchargé à vitesse grand v. je me retrouvais avec l'écouteur droit à 10% pendant que le gauche avait 70% de charge. Très souvent j'ai aussi un écouteur qui ne se recharge pas quand je le rentre dans le boitier alors que l'autre s'est rechargé à 100%. Je conseillerais perso des écouteurs anker soundcore.

I got a pair of Soundcore by Anket in Jan. I use them for audiobooks 6-8 hours a day, and have never had a problem with them. Battery life lasts all week for me since I switch out using one bud at a time, but I think they have like 30h of battery if using both. Fast charge. Water resistant, though, not waterproof.

So many commenting Airpods Pro... I have the Pro 2s and Anker Soundcore. Honestly prefer the Soundcore.

anker sound core best earbuds ever . been using for more than a year now still working as the day i bought them

Anker Soundcore are good

Don't waste your money on overpriced earbuds. You know what Sony, apple, Samsung Bose, and seinheiser have in common? They are disgustingly overpriced for a technology that is still going nowhere. The only time you use big brands is over ear. Earfun pro 4 Or Anything from soundcore. Will give you the identical features with slightly less noise canceling ability. Which shocker is the #1 thing I personally couldn't give a crap about as long as it's decent

I have the 4. Outstanding. Gives you better than big brand quality on many ways Anker soundcores are good too

I reallyyyyy love soundcore anker any of them

Bro its so underrated here. Tried airpod either same or… tak best sangat compared to soundcore 🤣🤣

Anker soundcore. They’re brilliant for the money. You don’t even need to spend £40. £15/20 and you’ll get a perfectly good pair

I've been using Anker Soundcore since January last year. The sound is good, the earbud is affordable and most importantly, I only need to charge it once a week even though I use it for 7-8hr per day

I was using some Anker Soundcore earbuds but they started connecting while inside the case. Now I'm using Nothing Ear (a) and enjoying them.

Soundcore from Anker. Mura lang pero goods na.

Apple 2nd Gen with usb-c have been my favorite. Anker Soundcore has good value. Tozo has best battery life are super loud but have pairing issues or if you have multiple of same model

Anker Soundcore good value at that cost

I’ve been using anker soundcore and they are pretty good. Not sure on the model though. Got them on offer on Amazon.

Another vote for Anker Soundcore. Excellent value for money.

You guys gotta try earbuds from Soundcore by Anker. Best budget buds I've tried and it performs really well, and has a great sound. Great equaliser too.

anker soundcore is good.

I like Anker Soundcore Earbuds.

If you're on iOS & Apple ecosystem, I love my airpods. But if you're price conscious or don't care about integration features, Anker/SoundCore has always been reliable for me.

I bought some random ones off Amazon based on the reviews. They were only £25 so thought I’d take a punt on them not really expecting them to be as good as people were saying. I also have a pair of Anker Soundcore but find the bass too light. Anyway, they are called Btootos and they are absolutely excellent for the money. They are almost as good as AirPods in terms of sound quality. Not quite but for the money I really don’t think it’s worth paying extra for the AirPods, the difference isn’t that big

I’ve really enjoyed my anker soundcores. 

Have you all looked into replacement tips from Spinfit, Sedna, Azla? Those seem like a good option as they carry lots of sizes and fit the ear better than the standard tips. (I don’t own any, I just saw them recommended on another post in the sub. It looks like SS, then S are the smallest sizes. They all have instructions on how to select your size and model). Also on Amazon there are silicone behind the neck straps that you can fit to any earbud while running/working out and later take them off when you don’t need them. I’m still deciding on a lightweight, compact, good-sounding, earbud under $100 and most of all great fitting for running. I have some Anker Soundcore that fall out of my ear easily with any of the included tips. I also have older Jabra Elite (not the active), which are more comfortable but still not great for running..

Is this the Anker Soundcore? Bought one a year ago and had it replaced for 3x already due to pairing issues.

Sony XM5s are pretty good in terms of isolation but that it ear shape dependent. Sound quality wise, especially for street listening, I'd honestly buy a much cheaper Anker Soundcore or something similar.

Get the soundcores, fantastic value

My Anker soundcores ($50 miracles) were rock solid until December. Now they cut out all the time at the gym in the high quality mode when it gets busy. It matched the December update and when I started to see the new Apple headset marshmallows show up. Could be Apple interference or Google Standard bluetooth incompetence at this point. Very annoying.
