The Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White sit outside your ear canal on a soft hook, so you keep hearing traffic, gym announcements and the people around you while music plays. The white version is the lighter, cleaner-looking option next to the black one: it suits bright gym kit, summer outfits and white phones, and it pairs visually with the clear, lid-free charging case. Inside, soundcore fits oval 16 × 13 mm drivers, ear hooks that adjust to four levels, Bluetooth 5.4 with two-device connection, four AI-assisted call microphones and an IP55 rating, with 6 hours per charge and 21 hours in total with the case.

White: who it suits and how to care for it
White open-ear buds look fresh with light activewear, tennis whites and summer clothing, and they read as discreet on lighter hair. Buyers who pick the Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White are often office workers who wear them all day and want something that looks neat with a white phone or laptop, and gym-goers who prefer a bright look. The honest catch: white shows sunscreen, makeup and dust sooner than black, especially on the soft hook. Wipe the hooks with a dry or barely damp cloth after training, keep them out of a sandy beach bag without a pouch, and dry them before they go back on the magnetic charging contacts.
Four-level ear hooks and the 7.5 dB bass claim
The feature soundcore builds this model around is a hook that adjusts to four levels. On the Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White, moving it brings the speaker closer to the ear canal; soundcore’s UK page says 5.5 mm closer, and quotes up to 7.5 dB deeper bass compared with non-adjustable hooks, measured in the soundcore lab. That figure compares adjustable with fixed hooks, not open-ear with sealed earbuds; sealed buds will always produce deeper bass. soundcore says the Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White hooks fit over 99% of ear shapes and sizes, and lists a weight of 10.1 g. Try each level with a song you know well; the right one depends on your ear, not the default.
Battery and the lid-free case
soundcore lists 6 hours of playback per charge and 21 hours in total, and its FAQ explains that a full case gives the earbuds about 2.5 extra charges. A 10-minute top-up gives about 1.5 hours, although the same FAQ says the Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White do not support fast charging as a separate mode. The case has no wireless charging and charges by cable. It is a clear, lid-free design with strong magnets that hold the earbuds in place and a light bar that shows the charge level. Expect less than 6 hours at high volume outdoors.
Connection, latency and calls
The Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White use Bluetooth 5.4, dual connection is enabled by default, and the earbuds remember up to 8 devices with a 10 m range, per soundcore. soundcore also publishes latency: 230 ms on SBC, 320 ms on AAC and 135 ms in game mode, so turn on game mode for mobile games. Calls use four microphones with AI noise filtering. Touch controls do not include volume by default, but you can add it in the soundcore app, which also offers 22 EQ presets and a custom EQ. There is no wear detection, and the earbuds switch off after 30 minutes without a connection, a time you can change in the app.
IP55 with SweatGuard: what it covers
soundcore rates the Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White at IP55 with its SweatGuard protection. The first 5 means dust protected: some dust may enter but not enough to stop them working. The second 5 means protection against water jets from any direction. That covers heavy sweat on a run, sudden rain and fine summer dust in the UAE, but it does not cover immersion: they are not for swimming, the pool or rinsing under a tap. Keep the open case dry and wipe the earbuds before placing them back on the charging contacts.
Who This Is Not For
The Soundcore V40i Open-Ear Wireless Headphones White are not for blocking noise on a plane, metro or open office: they are open by design and have no noise cancelling. Sound can leak at high volume, bass is lighter than with sealed earbuds, and there is no LDAC. They are not for swimming, they lack wear detection and wireless case charging, and the white finish needs more frequent cleaning than black.
