Soundcore P40i
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Soundcore P40i offers marathon battery life, adaptive ANC and a unique phone-stand case. Its heavy bass tuning and occasional connectivity glitches may deter audiophiles and users needing rock-solid Bluetooth. Ideal for commuters and gym-goers who value endurance and ANC.
EarFun Air offers IPX7 waterproof true-wireless earbuds with up to 7 hours of playback per charge and a total of 35 hours, plus fast charging and four microphones for clear calls. It lacks active noise cancellation and uses an older Bluetooth version with limited codec options. Suited for active, budget-conscious listeners who need durability and long battery life.
