Soundcore P41i: Mid-Range Earbuds with a Smart Charging Case
Soundcore, the audio branch of Anker, has softly announced another interesting pair of earbuds into their audio range: the Soundcore P41i. Although the P41i is a classic mid-range offering, it has one very smart trick definitely hidden up its case's sleeve.
All That Charging Case Can Do
So what is the big deal, actually. Well, apart from charging the earbuds, the P41i Soundcore comes with a charging case that doubles as a mini power bank for charging other devices. Now that's less stuff to carry.
Coming to figures, the earbuds themselves are good for roughly 12 hours of playtime with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) turned off, and about 10 hours with it on. Now the case. Here, everything becomes a little dizzying. Thanks to a huge 3,000 mAh battery, an almost miraculous 192 hours of total playtime can be achieved through the case.
What about your phone. Well, the case comes with a Type-C cable attached and can charge your external devices at 10W. Anker claims that this is good enough to give an iPhone 16 Pro about 50% or a Galaxy S24 about 45% additional charge. Handy.
What else is on the offer.
Apart from the fantastic case, the P41i earbuds go on to offer all kinds of features you would expect a good mid-range option to have:
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) adjustable through five levels and three modes for customized listening pleasure.
- Six built-in microphones ensuring your call conversations stay crisp.
- Decent sound due to 11mm drivers.
- Multi-point connection via Bluetooth 5.3.
- IPX5 water-resistant, so a bit of sweat or rain shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
- Faster pairing for instant connection.
So in a way, while the P41i seems almost radically different from the earlier P40i, it is establishing its own berth with that jaw-droppingly useful charging case.
Price and Release
The Soundcore P41i earbuds are priced £89.99 on the Soundcore UK site. It is anticipated that they shall hit the shores of the US market around the $89.99 price point, possibly spreading to the other regions too. Keep a check on these beauties if you are looking for truly all-rounder earbuds (and then some).
