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.
