Anker Soundcore - P41i

I like the Soundcore but mine are p41i

Yeah, I wouldn't bother charging my phone either! Mine just arrived, so I'll see how many hours I get out of these, but so far, so good!

What? No I have them they are good

You probably got a defective pair. I haven't had any of your problems; I've owned the headphones for almost a year now, and unlike you, the battery life is very good. I only have to charge them once every month.

Haven't tried the previous model p40i so cannot compare, but have bought this new model p41i on a pretty good discount. Overall I'm satisfied, the sound is great (Spotify streaming on best quality), the features available in the soundcore app are great, battery life is fine, different noise cancelling modes work ok for this small in-ear buds (but you'll get better NC experience with over-ear headphones as expected...). Slightly bigger case is not an issue for me and really like it, can be used as a mini power bank but doesn't replace a normal capacity power bank, only helps in emergency cases if needed.

The overall performance is good and there's a noticeable improvement when compared with its previous version (P40i) but before buying them you need to consider the following points: 1- The case is quite big for a TWS because of the large battery 2- The battery capacity is 3000 mAh only which will provide your phone with only 20 to 30% so you can't rely on it as a power bank it's more of an emergency power bank 3- If the case battery is empty it'll take 5 hours to fully charge cause it supports only 10W charging speed 4- If you frequently use it as a power bank the battery lifespan will be greatly reduced My opinion: when using a power bank or a tws I'd go for getting the full experience from two separate devices rather than getting a little bit of both worlds in one device.

I just got mine a week ago so I cant speak to longevity but so far im loving them. They were $50 at best buy and feel really good for the price. I like being able to change the controls through the app because the one thing that I dont like is how sensitive the buttons are, like changing the volume when I touch it to adjust it in my ear. Also think the features of the container are cool, having the phone charger and stand. It all feels well made. I had jlab ones before (the kind you can get at walgreens) and two in a row gave me issues where it wouldnt recognize when the earbud was back in the carrier. Hoping these dont do that.

I had to return mine due to it being defective. But one thing you should take into consideration is the case size. I only carry it when I know I will need a small power boost through the day. Its almost twice the size of a p30i case. It eventually becomes a hassle to carry around.

Anker Soundcore P series has absolutely amazing sound and noise cancelling quality for the price. Wait for Prime day sales etc and you’ll often find them for 49% off so some models are literally $50. I’ve seen people post the high end models in this thread - be mindful that you can get the latest base AirPods models (AirPods 4 without ANC) for often $180 bucks or so at JB Hifi when they are doing sales or Amazon price matches.

One of the things I like most about my Shokz, is I can wear them, and have music or party chat in them, and wear over-the-ears-cans over them to have game sound and Twitch notifications when I stream, and one doesn't bleed into the other. I also like them when cycling somewhere quiet. In traffic I revert to Soundcore Earbuds with ANC.

yes i got them on sale for $35 and theyre excellent and tbh as good as my last pair- i used to have the soundcore ANC ones before (~$110) but wasnt willing spend as much this time
