Score: 79/100Rankings
The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds deliver adaptive ANC that cuts up to 98% of low-frequency noise and a massive 50 hour total battery life. Their ANC is weaker on high-frequency noises and touch controls can be finicky. Suited for budget-conscious commuters and fitness enthusiasts who need strong low-frequency ANC and long endurance.
The Soundcore P30i earbuds combine adaptive ANC, powerful bass and a wireless-charging case for up to 45 hours of total playback. Their bass-forward tuning and occasional ANC inconsistency limit appeal for audiophiles. Best for bass enthusiasts and users who value extensive app customization.

Professional reviewers consider the Space A40 a standout budget ANC earbud, lauding its adaptive noise cancellation, multipoint connectivity, LDAC support, and comprehensive app features, while noting its weaker performance on high-frequency noise and a bass-forward sound signature.
Everyday users consistently praise the long battery life, comfortable lightweight fit, and effective low-frequency ANC for commuting and workouts, but they frequently mention touch-control glitches, limited high-frequency noise reduction, and a bass-heavy sound profile that may require EQ tweaks.
Professional reviewers commend the P30i for its strong adaptive ANC, impressive BassUp-driven low-end, and feature-rich app that includes 22 EQ presets and 3D sound. However, they criticize the overly bass-centric tuning, narrow soundstage, and occasional low-resolution audio, noting that the ANC may struggle in windy conditions.
Everyday users love the deep bass, long battery life, and the handy phone-stand charging case, seeing strong value for the price. Common frustrations revolve around the bass-heavy sound masking other instruments, fit issues for smaller ears, and inconsistent ANC performance in windy settings.
