Anker soundcore V40i open-ear earbuds 21h playtime
Product description
This open-ear design from Anker’s soundcore line frees you from in-ear pressure while keeping awareness of your surroundings, making it suitable for commuting, outdoor exercise and all-day wear. The V40i combines a lidless, clear charging case with adjustable ear hooks to bring bass closer and maintain a secure fit, and it promises long battery life according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
The lidless case uses strong magnets and a visible light bar for quick grab-and-go use. The open-ear form avoids sealing the ear canal so you can stay aware of traffic and your environment, while the adjustable hooks let you find a closer fit to increase bass impact. Calls are handled by four microphones plus AI noise filtering to improve voice clarity in busy settings. Battery life is notable at up to 21 hours of playtime as stated by the maker, and Bluetooth 5.4 provides a stable wireless connection with app control for personalised settings.

Benefits
Adjustable ear hooks come in four positions so the earbuds can be tailored to over 99% of ear shapes and sizes according to soundcore lab data. Moving the sound source nearer the ear canal can increase perceived bass by up to 7.5 dB compared with non-adjustable hooks, which helps deliver richer, punchier audio during music playback. The open-ear approach reduces in-ear fatigue and keeps ambient sound audible, which is useful for runners and cyclists who must remain alert.
Usage Recommendations
For stronger low-end response try the tighter ear-hook positions, which place the drivers nearer the ear. Use the companion app to fine-tune sound and call settings, and make use of the case’s light bar to check charge status at a glance. Consider that open-ear designs do not isolate external noise completely, so they may be less suited to very noisy indoor environments where passive isolation is required.
