The Anker Soundcore V40i are open-ear earbuds with ear hooks that adjust to 4 positions, so the speaker sits 5.5mm closer to your ear canal than on fixed hooks. Soundcore’s lab measured up to 7.5dB more bass from that change. The earbuds drop into a clear, lidless case that holds them with magnets, so you grab them in one move without opening a lid.

Most open-ear earbuds sound thin because the speaker sits far from the ear canal. The V40i hook adjusts so the speaker moves closer, and the hourglass chamber boosts the diaphragm’s vibration. The result is fuller, punchier bass than fixed-hook open earbuds.
The open design keeps your ears free of pressure and lets you hear approaching cars and bodaboda horns on busy roads.
Four microphones and an AI algorithm filter out background noise on calls.
IP55 with SweatGuard protects against dust, sweat and rain, so the V40i handles runs, gym sessions and dusty walks.
The case has no lid. Strong magnets hold the earbuds in place, and a light bar shows charging status.
