EarFun Air
Score: 75/100
Soundcore P40i
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Soundcore P40i combines adaptive ANC, a 60-hour total battery life and a unique phone-stand case for long-lasting, convenient listening. Its loose fit, boomy bass and occasional Bluetooth glitches may deter users seeking a secure, balanced experience. Best suited for commuters and travelers who prioritize endurance and ANC over perfect sound neutrality.
The EarFun Air offers solid bass, a robust 35-hour battery and IPX7 water resistance, making it a great budget choice for active users. It lacks ANC and uses an older Bluetooth version, which can affect connectivity and feature parity. Best suited for price-conscious athletes who prioritize endurance over premium features.
