Soundcore C40i 🔥 The PERFECT Alternative To In-Ear Earbuds!

[@kaecatlady]

Hey, Jeff! I had no intention of buying these when I started watching this review--and I still don't plan too, since "open" earbuds really aren't my thing. Still, I just wanted to say that, the reason you're one of my top KZbin earbud reviewers. Your thoroughness when it comes to discussing earbuds' qualities in a way that makes it interesting and understandable for the average consumer, not just the folks who are more "audiophile" -oriented, is greatly appreciated. Even when you're reviewing products I know I have no real interest in buying, I find myself watching the entirety of your videos, because you're so good at offering the perfect amount of information and demostration for a watcher to make an informed decision, and your "style" is always down-to-earth and approachable. Great job on this review, as always; I think you'll be looking 200,000 subscribers in the face before you know it!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Made my day.🙏🏼

[@CJDilag]

Always enjoy and appreciate your reviews, Jefe! Just ordered the C40i earlier. This will be my 1st experience with clip-on style TWS.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Right on!

[@DHRME]

Solid review as usual Jeff! Personally, I love this form factor. Cheers!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thank you! This design is growing on me too.🙏🏼

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

You prefer them to the hooks? I think hooks look better but maybe that's just because I'm used to them. But I can see how this could be useful for people that struggle to fit some earbuds since you can take advantage of the different angles of your ear to make it more secure. With a hook you just kind of put it there and if it fits it fits and if it doesn't you're out of luck.

[@pauldavidartistclub6723]

I’m still using and loving the SOUND CORE LIFE DOT 3i that you recommended to me to purchase two years ago! A great set of ear buds, and I still appreciate the advice you offered me.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Glad I could help!

[@highfived]

The goat 🐐 of reviews . Hope your well stay strong king ❤

[@ELJefeReviews]

Much appreciated bro!

[@M.G.R1an]

Que Onda Jefe! Excellent review as always and for sure one of the best song suggestions bro

[@ELJefeReviews]

Appreciate it!!

[@BrianVallotton]

Hi Jeff! Great to "see" you. I am thinking of getting these for my wife. She cannot stand anything on her ears or in them, but these might be more to her liking. Worth a try. God bless you my brother. P.S. LOVE that song "Rain" I did not know about The Teskey Brothers! I do now! 🙂

[@ELJefeReviews]

Right on! I hope these are a good option for her!

[@123fourfivesix-g4i]

Button or squeeze controls are why like the airpods pro/liberty 4/liberty 4 pro. Almost hate touch controls but the slide volume controls on the 4 pro actually makes sense

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agreed!

Don’t be weird about it.😆

Great video cheers Jeff. Another great implementation of an open earbud from soundcore

[@ELJefeReviews]

Yes indeed!

[@isaaccruel3994]

waiting to get mine. it's a lot cheaper in China i gotta say. i get it for like 80 bucks. planning to use it for my jogs and workouts. thanks for the review

[@ELJefeReviews]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mikeevans7381]

Leave it to EL JEFE to film a segment of him sleeping with the earbuds. Love it that's why you're one of the best. 💯👍🇺🇸

Wow, I need to try these

[@ELJefeReviews]

They're better than I anticipated.

[@Acarroll.childofgod]

I’m so glad they made a button I love the c30i except that touch control it hangs up my calls changes songs all on its own I can’t wait to get the c40i for my birthday

[@ELJefeReviews]

Same!

[@BigPoppa-t3z]

That's a crazy Azz look when worn

Hello Brother, When are you publishing Soundcore arofit 2 review?

[@ELJefeReviews]

I’m not. They are great earbuds. But I won’t be making a video.

[@robertbrillante4064]

Watching football as usual on Sunday but I don’t wanna miss you if you’re coming home today

How do they compare to bose ultra open earbuds

[@robertbrillante4064]

Are you going live today?

[@pratikpawar5934]

Is it worth spending 165 US $ dollars on Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 or shall I buy something from mid range ? . Priority are sound quality and ANC and I’m an iPhone user

[@ELJefeReviews]

Yes.

[@SunIsolation]

Hey man should i get the liberty 4nc or the normal galaxy bud 3? Im not sure which one i should buy (price isnt my main concern im more concerned about sound and Nc)🙏🙏🙏

[@ELJefeReviews]

Soundcore

[@blackchaos3322]

El eje i have a question. I wanted to buy a 300 dollar earbuds but the issue is should i go with sanheiser momentum tws 4 earbuds or sony wf-1000xm5. I heard sanheiser is great but it does not have ldac and my phone does not support aptx codec. Meanwhile sony has ldac and many says its good. What you recommend should i worry that it must have ldac and go with sony's earbuds or i dont worry about ldac and go with sanheiser?

[@ELJefeReviews]

I’d choose Sennheiser. LDAC helps but it’s not a deal breaker.

[@blackchaos3322]

@ELJefeReviews thanks bro you have given me big relief

[@davidwilson1531]

Hello jeff I was wondering which soundcore buds should i buy if i like going to the gym and like listening to music. I am between the soundcore liberty 3 pro or the liberty 4 nc. Which one should i get? If you think there are better options out there please let me know.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Hi, what do you think of the Huawei FreeClip compared to the C40i?

[@ELJefeReviews]

I don't have Freeclip.

[@anthonychiu4104]

Will Sony release new earbuds other than 1000xm5 soon?

[@ELJefeReviews]

They just dropped 3 new earbuds a few weeks ago. Look up Sony LinkBuds Fit, LinkBuds Open, and WF-C510.

[@anthonychiu4104]

​@@ELJefeReviewslooking a flagship earbuds to replace my Soundcore liberty 4. Thank you always!

[@ELJefeReviews]

Nope. Upgrade to Liberty 4 is Liberty 4 Pro.

[@anthonychiu4104]

​@@ELJefeReviews will it be a significant increase on the sound quality on the Pro? I watched your review on the Pro but I did not see there is difference.

[@breeze9248]

can someone give me a link for app? no matter what apk I download it doesn't support c40i...

[@stanmogilevksy8581]

Always watch a movie el jefe review there cool looking but not for me I like the tips better

[@ELJefeReviews]

Fair enough! Thanks for watching.🙏🏼

[@seansandison579]

nice upload as always but think this design would irritate my ears too much

[@ELJefeReviews]

Fair enough. The C30i did that to me. That's why I'm so glad they added flexible joints.

[@Abhinav.3290]

please Review tozo t20 earbuds

[@charisk1891]

Hi jefe. I depserately need your help here, if you read this. You were the one who recommened the space a40 to me and i absolutely loved them. However a small washing machine cycle killed them and im on the search again. Being on a budget, i went for the qcy melobuds pro, and their sound quality is amazing but they ended up being quite big for my ears, causing pain and fatigue when wearing them, so im handing them over to my sister. I was thinking of getting the space a40's again but looking at your review, the liberty 4nc's are great. Im only concerned for their size. if the qcy's were big for me, would the liberty 4's be the same? or should i stick to the space a40's? thank you!

[@ELJefeReviews]

A40

[@charisk1891]

@ great, thank you!

[@prashamjain8907]

Brother please clear my doubt please:- In India, the Liberty 4nc is available for 65 dollars while the Liberty 4 is available for 58 dollars. I am getting the Oneplus Buds 3 for 50 dollars and the super popular Oppo Enco Air 3 pro (if you know them; they were the best at 60 dollars) are discounted to an all time low of 39 dollars. I want great sound quality and best anc but the best value for money deal at the same time. Which of these would be the best pick or is there any new king under the sub 60 dollars price point? Please reply. I want to purchase new earbuds this Black Friday sale. Please.

[@ELJefeReviews]

OnePlus is the best out of those choices. Final answer.

[@prashamjain8907]

@@ELJefeReviews One more query please:- The cmf buds 2 pro are available for 40 dollars. Many reviews ranked them one of the best under 100 dollars. So, are the oneplus buds worth the extra 10 dollars? Final question promise. And thanks for replying.

[@ELJefeReviews]

OnePlus

[@Matt-fd9hc]

TOZO Open EarRing are more comfortable and sound better because of the design. Took my C40i back because of how uncomfortable they were. Heck the $36 QCY are more comfortable and have better sound because of the better design

[@ELJefeReviews]

Thanks for sharing. Sadly Tozo hasn't sent me any samples these past few years so I haven't been able to test them yet. Soon hopefully.

[@robertbrillante4064]

See y’all later on in the day😎

[@ELJefeReviews]

🤙🏼

[@Acarroll.childofgod]

Was not happy with them definitely keeping my c30i and sending the c40i back they didn’t last even 3 hours without going to 50 percent and that’s with it just being in my ear and maybe 5 songs and 4 6 minute phone calls and the c30i are way louder even with the c40i on volume booster with louder phone calls and music I was excited for them and disappointed within a day sadly

[@Treboroll]

[@MrCliff_77]

Conversation awareness?

[@ELJefeReviews]

What would be the point? They don’t plug your ears.🤷🏽‍♂️

[@MrCliff_77]

@ say your over 60% volume You would like or might need to lower the volume to hear the person talking to you still.

[@mollerbt]

Buttons are always superior to touch controls. Prove me wrong.

[@ELJefeReviews]

Agree completely!

[@jRows5rw3qd8]

both have pros and cons. real buttons breaks overtime while touch can be tricky and inaccurate

[@Matt-fd9hc]

Fore sure. But with the Soundcore. The poor sound and comfort override the great functionality of the button. The TOZO Open EarRing is a much better option. Yes the touch isn’t as good but I’ll take that all day over one being very uncomfortable, poor sounding and costs twice as much.

[@Pidgeys]

Only if they arent hard to press

[@Ryan.Verity]

@@mollerbt i'm sorry to inform you but you can't be proven wrong good sir

[@5purplecups]

C30i were trash imo I returned them after like 2hours so I guess I’ll try this version

[@ELJefeReviews]

Why were the C30i trash in your opinion?

[@5purplecups]

@ hurt my ears pretty bad after 10mins

[@ELJefeReviews]

Fair enough. I had the same issue. Hopefully these work better for you the same way these work better for me.

@@ELJefeReviews I purchased the Baseus Eli sport 1 again. I think I’ll pass on the soundcore this time.
