EarFun Free 2S
Score: 71/100
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 Free 2S provides wireless charging, an EQ app and solid call quality in a lightweight, IPX7-rated package. It lacks ANC and has a modest 23-hour total battery, which may fall short for power users. Ideal for budget-focused listeners who want app customization and water resistance.

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.
