Soundcore P41i: Novel ANC earbuds debut with built-in powerbank and reverse wired charging
After launching the Liberty 5 weeks ago as a premium model in its lineup, Anker has now quietly debuted the Soundcore P41i as a more mid-range ANC offering. The P41i presumably slots in beside the P40i, but can be considered to be a wildly different product.
The new Soundcore P41i is marketed as a set of wireless earbuds with a built-in phone charger, effectively mitigating the need for a powerbank. The earbuds themselves are said to last 12 hours with ANC off and 10 hours with ANC on.
The case is the star of the show here, however, as it can take that figure up to 192 hours, thanks to its 3,000 mAh battery. It's also designed to moonlight as a powerbank—it can charge external devices at 10 W via an integrated Type-C cable. According to Anker, that's enough to charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 50%, and a Galaxy S24 to 45%.
Outside of its interesting case and charging features, the P41i is an unspectacular but solid device. It features ANC with five levels and three modes. Other features include six built-in mics, 11 mm drivers, multi-point support via Bluetooth 5.3, IPX5 certification, and fast pair support.
The Soundcore P41i earbuds are listed on the Soundcore UK website at £89.99. They're expected to go on sale in the US at $89.99 shortly too, and will likely also be available in other markets eventually.
