Soundcore Space A40 review

The Space A40 have been in Soundcore's range for a while and still hold up. Soundcore says the adaptive noise cancelling removes up to 98% of noise and adjusts to your surroundings, and a transparency mode lets you hear announcements. The 10 mm double-layer diaphragm drivers support LDAC for Hi-Res sound on compatible Android phones, and HearID builds a custom EQ. Battery is listed at 10 hours per charge and 50 hours with the case, and 10 minutes on the charger adds 4 hours. Unlike the cheaper P31i, the A40 document both multipoint over Bluetooth 5.2 and a wireless charging case. Each earbud weighs 4.9 g and the box includes four ear tip sizes. The catch is price: the regular price of $99.99 puts the A40 at the ceiling of this list, though Soundcore's store was showing a lower sale price when we checked. IPX4 water resistance is enough for sweat and rain but trails the IP55 and IPX5 pairs here.
