Soundcore P40i - After One Week

[@RKZX2]

I just got these. Out of the box they sound great. Very bass heavy tho. A little eq adjustment will fix that. They block a LOT of outside noise & very comfy. I bought the lavender ones cuz they are different & look còol.

[@IrensTech]

Thanks for the comment :-) Good to hear they are working out well for you. The ANC is pretty good, yeah. A bit strong for my head, but they work well. I haven’t actually seen the lavender ones in person. Cheers

[@philipm.4738]

Nice and thorough review. I'm a big Soundcore fan but one of my ongoing beefs with them is their choice of default sound setting. I agree its bad and that's pretty consistent across all their products. You definitely need to eq to see what they are capable of. I also have the Soundcore A3I's and they have a better, more balanced sound to me, than this model. But these are good too. Headphones give you a different experience than earbuds so probably not completely fair to compare the two. Also Apple stuff is way more expensive than these so l feel that these give you very good value for the price tag. And, of course, they have that phone stand feature! Works very well! Again, thanks for the good review. Well done!

[@IrensTech]

@@philipm.4738 Thank you for the feedback and the kind words :-) Yeah, I tried the Liberty 4NC at a shop the other day, and even those had the same really sharp treble tuning. Bit of messing with the eq and they sounded pretty great for the money. Cheers

[@Orpheusftw]

Thank you for showing us the speaker "grill." I've bought several buds that only had a thin fabric covering, and those always seem to fall off.

[@IrensTech]

It does make them seem more durable. Glad it was of use to you :-)

[@TANKSTECHTALK]

As long as you got the custom eq it don't matter about the default

[@IrensTech]

As long as you are willing to take the time to go in and play around with the eq settings they can sound however you like, yeah. Some just use them out of the box and never touch the eq settings.

Nice review! keep up the good work 🎉😊 straight to the point no need to talk for hours :)

[@IrensTech]

@@murdererbrosThank you for the kind words :-)

[@onpoint357]

I listen to bass heavy music like hip hop so earbuds capable of heavy bass is a win for me lol. And you cant compare earbuds with over ear headphones.

[@IrensTech]

These should have plenty of bottom end for you. Over ear headphones obviously have a big advantage in the bass department, but many people (myself included) have to choose between them or buds. I felt it was worth mentioning the headphones.

[@willofgod536]

@@IrensTechdo this deliver same type of bass like overhead headphones?

[@IrensTech]

@@willofgod536I always find that proper headphones deliver better bass performance in general, but these are really bassy buds.

[@willofgod536]

@@IrensTech I recently sent back realme air 6 pro earbuds the new ones. People on KZbin were saying that those have crazy bass but I was disappointed they are loud but they bass was strange very close type of bass. I hope this are good

[@koningklootzak7788]

Rather than the difference of buds or over ears, it's the difference of driver sizes that makes the difference in bass power. Having said that, buds could still deliver good bass if it has good seal, has decent driver size, and designed to create more bass. Many times you could improve buds bass by choosing eartips with better sealing. You could also adjust EQ if it's available.

[@MorriganHXA]

Hi, thanks for the review Sorry if I missed it, but do these have mono audio? Like, you keep one in the case and use one and both left and right channels go to just the bud you are using. Would be helpful to know that

[@IrensTech]

@@MorriganHXA Hello there! Thanks for the comment :-) I just checked and out of the box I only get the stereo channel for whichever bud I use. So if I use left, I don’t get the right audio. The only way I could see to amend this is to switch my iPhones audio to mono in settings. A little frustrating to do that every time… Still, can’t have everything for this price. Cheers

[@zeebro7688]

I have these they are great

[@IrensTech]

Glad you are enjoying them :-)

[@zareenamohammadalin9566]

Which one is better p40i or liberty 4nc??? Please reply

[@IrensTech]

@@zareenamohammadalin9566 if you are paying the same money, the Liberty are better. For the price it just depends if you want the extra features the Liberty has.

[@aks13v35]

Can someone compare these to the Soundcore A30i?

[@mikelillie2338]

Looking for an ear bud which has good mic for clear video work calls, would these be ok?

[@IrensTech]

These should be fine. The mics are nothing amazing, but I’ve used them for phone calls without issue.

[@zainbaloch7890]

Whats the playtime battery backup you're getting? With anc and without anc both.

[@IrensTech]

The battery performance in these is really good. I’m getting near to advertised. More than 8 hours per bud, and easily another 50 in the case. One of the best features of these.

[@willofgod536]

Do you think this deliver bass like overhead headphones? I’m a bass head and looking for earbuds but with bass like overhead headphones

[@IrensTech]

They are very bassy buds, but the physical difference between buds and headphones usually results in better bass from the headphones. I can eq these and my Sony 720n to both sound ridiculously bassy.

[@willofgod536]

@@IrensTech yes you’re right usually headphones are better I recently sent back reame air 6 pro the new ones. People on internet said they have crazy bass but I was disappointed. So I hope this are good

[@melchorgubaton7752]

Is it has a gaming mode at the soundcore App?

[@IrensTech]

It does. But it dramatically changes the eq. Boosts highs and lows to hear things better in the games. I’m not a fan of it to be honest. The gaming mode does lower the latency.

[@AK4SHGaming]

What's the playback time?

[@IrensTech]

Pretty much as advertised. The battery life on Soundcore products is no joke.

[@mr.incognito6032]

Is it worth buying them

[@IrensTech]

@@mr.incognito6032 If they do what you need them to do, yes. They are good for the price.

[@SachinPatil-gs1bj]

Hey I loved your video😍 and I have ordered it today having little hesitation are they worth it 😬???

[@IrensTech]

Thank you very much for the kind words :-) Hopefully they work out well for you. They are good earbuds for the money.

[@promemer666]

How long does the buds last without the case??????

[@IrensTech]

They will do about advertised. 12 hours without ANC, and I got around 10 hours with ANC on. Very good battery performance. Cheers

[@RobloxPlay931]

And it has included Phone Case win win

[@IrensTech]

@@RobloxPlay931 if you mean the phone stand in the case, then yes :-)

[@mohammadmurtazhossain1545]

Can I turn off the touch controls of the buds from the software? Pleae let me know. Thanks in advance

[@IrensTech]

Not sure you can disable them. But you can tell the single touch to do nothing. I’ll have a look later when I get back home.

[@IrensTech]

@@mohammadmurtazhossain1545 Just had a proper look. I cannot see an option to completely disable them. As I said you can set each type of touch to do whatever you like, including nothing. Hope this helps. Cheers

[@shakinb754]

Does it hurt ears after using it for a long time brother

[@IrensTech]

Most earbuds hurt my ears after a couple of hours. These are not particularly bad. I find the noise cancellation uncomfortable on full strength, but you can turn it down. It comes with a few different tip sizes, which helps with comfort. Cheers

[@amyzhang9800]

How do you adjust the noise cancellation

[@IrensTech]

@@amyzhang9800 In the Soundcore app. there are settings to manually adjust the strength. Or you can leave it on automatic.

[@roberttrotter2814]

Soundcore is the best earbuds out to me I own JBL Skullcandy beats open earbuds and p30i and p40i sound way better hands down

[@IrensTech]

I find Soundcore to be a bit screamy out of the box, but they can easily be tamed with the app. For the money, they are very good.

[@johnb9290]

Do you have a link to the eq settings you talked about?

[@IrensTech]

Watch around the 10:42 mark. They are in the video.

[@newfnshow031]

Jesus u spent a lot of money on audio

[@IrensTech]

@@newfnshow031 gotta’ have a hobby!

[@neuideas]

I can't get these to fit my ears properly. I have tried nearly all of the tips provided, and the smalls work best, but they still leave a lot to be desired. As a result, the sound suffers. My $20 pair of Sony WI-X400 sound way better, and fit way better than these. It's a shame because, on paper, these are better earbuds, but I can't enjoy them.

[@IrensTech]

I find these sit shallower in my ears than some other buds, but the seal is ok. For my Technics earbuds I’ve switched to memory foam tips. I just got the cheapest ones I could find and they are working out well. Might be worth a try for you on the Soundcore.

[@neuideas]

@@IrensTech I purchased a set of foam tips from Amazon. They did the trick. The buds sound so much better now.
