EarFun Free 2S
Score: 76/100
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.
The EarFun Free 2S provides IPX7 protection, wireless charging and an app-based EQ in a lightweight package, appealing to active users on a budget. However, its modest 7 mm drivers, lack of ANC and limited battery life keep it from competing with higher-end models. Best for users who prioritize affordability, water resistance and customization over premium audio performance.

Professional reviewers commend the P40i for its impressive battery longevity, innovative phone-stand case, and effective ANC that reaches -21 dB attenuation, while also praising the customizable HearID EQ. However, they note the bass-heavy tuning can be boomy, distortion appears at higher volumes, and the loose fit may be uncomfortable for some users, with occasional Bluetooth stability issues.
Everyday users celebrate the earbuds for their week-long battery endurance, strong bass punch, clear AI-enhanced calls, and the convenience of the phone-stand case. Recurring complaints focus on a loose fit that slips, overly boomy bass that masks other frequencies, and sporadic Bluetooth connectivity glitches.
