Anker Soundcore P40i is equipped with Anker’s original Ultra Noise Cancelling 2.0 technology and supports convenient multi-point connection, so I thought it was an earphone with few drawbacks that I would recommend to everyone after using it this time.
Noise cancellation and ambient sound mode are of course available, as well as multi-point, game mode, and apps, and it supports almost everything.
I was surprised when reviewing it to find out that it costs less than 10,000 yen.
These earphones are highly recommended for those looking for earphones under 10,000 yen and those who want high-functionality earphones.

Actual usage experience
Sound quality… Overall, emphasizes power
- This evaluation is completely subjective.
When I first used the “Anker Soundcore P40i”, the first thing I felt was the strength of the bass.
The bass is focused on power and weight.
So conversely, the depth and delicacy are not so great.
Mr.GadgetsI think it goes well with rock and other upbeat genres.
But it might be a little lacking for ballads (laughs)
However, it’s not that there’s no depth or delicacy at all, so I don’t think there are any particular genres that it doesn’t work well with.
Also, the high frequencies have a slightly sharp feel.
It’s not piercing, but it doesn’t have a smooth, extended feel.
The mid-range is difficult to hear due to the strong bass and high frequencies.
Mr.GadgetsBut don’t worry, you can adjust it a bit with the equalizer function I’ll introduce later!
Supported codecs are normal for this price range.
The supported codecs are SBC and AAC.
Mr.GadgetsI wish it supported more, but it’s about what you’d expect for under 10,000 yen.
Here are the characteristics of each codec
| Codec | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| SBC | The most standard codec. Basically, all devices support it. Sound quality and latency are average. |
| AAC | Frequently used by Apple products such as iPhones. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. Better sound quality and lower latency than SBC. |
| aptX | Mainly adopted by Android. Better sound quality and lower latency than SBC and AAC. |
| aptX LL | LL stands for Low Latency. It has even lower latency than aptX. Sound quality is the same as aptX, but latency is less than 0.04 seconds. |
| aptX HD | A high-quality codec that supports high-resolution sound. It has slightly higher latency than aptX. |
| aptX Adaptive | aptX HD was stabilized and made low-latency. Changing from a fixed bit rate to a variable bit rate has made processing more stable and reduced latency. |
| LDAC | A super high-quality codec developed by Sony. The highest sound quality among those introduced. Android 8.0 or later generally supports it. It has 3 sound quality modes: quality priority, connection priority, and balanced. It has higher latency than SBC. |

Fit is very good
There are 5 sizes of ear pieces included: XS, S, M, L, and XL, so most people will be able to find a size that fits them.
Mr.GadgetsS size was just right for me.
Ms.GadgetsThe ear pieces have a direct impact on the fit, so it’s important!

Noise cancelling adapts to surrounding noise
The “Anker Soundcore P40i” is equipped with Anker’s original Ultra Noise Cancelling 2.0 technology.
This technology allows it to automatically adjust the strength of noise cancelling based on the level of surrounding noise.
Mr.GadgetsIf the noise cancelling is too strong, it can be uncomfortable, but this function prevents that.
Ms.GadgetsIt’s a high level for under 10,000 yen!
Sometimes the operation is unstable
In my environment, the noise cancelling function sometimes becomes unstable.
For example, the noise cancelling stops working altogether.
Mr.GadgetsIt’s annoying because you have to turn the noise cancelling off and on again to fix it.
Ambient sound mode… It’s usable, but not natural
To be honest, it doesn’t feel natural.
There are more natural ones in the same price range.
However, you can definitely hear the surrounding sounds, so you can hear announcements on trains, etc.
Mr.GadgetsIt feels like it’s picking up sound from outside with a microphone.
Battery life is amazing!
The playback time of the “Anker Soundcore P40i” is as follows:
・Normal mode: up to 12 hours (earphone body only) / up to 60 hours (with charging case)
・Noise cancelling mode: up to 10 hours (earphone body only) / up to 50 hours (with charging case)
・Call: up to 7 hours (earphone body only) / up to 35 hours (with charging case)
Mr.GadgetsIt’s incredibly long! Amazing!
Ms.GadgetsEven if you use noise cancelling, this length is very satisfying!
Supports Google Fast Pair!
The “Anker Soundcore P40i” supports multi-point and can be connected to 2 Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
For example, you can watch YouTube on a tablet while answering a phone call on your smartphone.
Ms.GadgetsThis is very convenient!

You can use it as a smartphone stand by standing up the part labeled PHONESTAND in the picture.
Mr.GadgetsIt’s surprisingly stable and practical!
I think this interesting idea is great!
Comes with an 18-month + 6-month warranty
The “Anker Soundcore P40i” comes with an 18-month warranty and an additional 6-month warranty for members.
Ms.GadgetsIt’s reassuring to know that it comes with a warranty like that.
