Anker's Soundcore P41i earbuds have officially debuted in the US, following a quiet launch in the UK earlier this year. The mid-range ANC earbuds are now available on Amazon for $79.99 in black or white, with or without a built-in Lightning adapter. A variant with Lightning support is listed at a slightly higher $89.99.
While the earbuds themselves have familiar specs - 12 hours of playback with ANC off, or 10 hours with it on - the standout feature is easily the case. It’s fitted with a 3,000 mAh battery and includes a built-in USB-C cable for reverse wired charging. Anker claims the case can charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 50% or a Galaxy S24 to 45%, which is great in case you need an emergency battery top-up. With the case, total battery life stretches up to 192 hours - which is a lot. There's also a 10-minute fast charge feature that adds another 5 hours of music playback in a pinch.
Internally, the P41i features 11mm composite drivers tuned with Anker’s BassUp tech for a stronger low-end performance. On the ANC front, users get five levels and three differnet noise cancellation modes. The earbuds also pack six mics with noise reduction, Bluetooth 5.3 support, multi-point pairing, fast pair, and IPX5 water resistance.
Build quality is utilitarian to say the least - mostly plastic - but the case is fitted with a small display showing remaining battery, and weighs just over 107 grams. Controls are touch-based, and the Amazon product page also lists a Bluetooth range of up to 10 meters. The P41i should fit your use case if you're out travelling a lot, and often find yourself looking for the charger before the end of the day.
