Open-ear earbuds for breathable, all-day listening with a focus on deeper bass and clear calls. For commuters and runners who want situational awareness without sacrificing sound, soundcore V40i Open-Ear Earbuds promise an adjustable, secure fit and lengthy playtime. Are they the practical alternative to sealed in-ear buds for daily use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • • Sound Signature: Punchy, bass-forward low end with clear mids and airy highs
  • • Best for: Runners, commuters and anyone needing situational awareness with good sound
  • • Not ideal for: Listeners who require deep passive isolation or active noise cancelling

Open-ear earbuds with 16 × 13-mm drivers and an hourglass-shaped chamber for punchy bass. Four adjustable ear hooks, a lidless magnetic case with light bar, AI-enhanced calls, IP55 rating and 21 hours total playtime.

All-day comfort and situational awareness – with open-ear design and 4-level adjustable ear hooks

Open-ear form leaves the ear canal free while 4-level adjustable hooks reposition the transducers and secure fit for over 99% of ear shapes and sizes. Breathable contact points reduce in-ear pressure during extended wear.

Secure, breathable fit stays comfortable on long commutes, outdoor runs and day-long listening sessions.

Deeper, punchier bass – thanks to 16 × 13-mm drivers and acoustic chamber design

Large 16 × 13-mm drivers work with a high-elastic diaphragm and an hourglass-shaped chamber to increase low-frequency output, with lab data showing up to a 7.5 dB bass boost versus non-adjustable hooks.

Bass-heavy tracks gain more presence and impact without needing an in-ear seal, making music feel more dynamic during workouts or travel.

Clear, reliable calls on the move – with four microphones plus AI noise filtering

Four built-in microphones capture voice while advanced AI algorithms filter external noise to improve speech clarity in noisy environments.

Phone and video calls remain intelligible when walking through busy streets or commuting on public transport.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these suitable for running or outdoor exercise?

A: Yes. The open-ear design keeps the ear canal clear for situational awareness and the IP55 rating protects against sweat and light rain during outdoor activity.

Q: How long does the battery last between charges?

A: Battery life totals up to 21 hours of combined playback, covering extended daily use without frequent charging.

Q: Do these earbuds block out background noise?

A: Open-ear fit does not seal the ear canal, so background sound is still audible; however, four microphones and AI filtering improve call clarity in noisy settings.
