Frequency response notes (measured)
Against the SoundGuys headphone preference curve the bass is emphasised a little. The highs are strongly emphasised, with a peak that can be harsh on busy tracks. Default EQ preset.8Reviewsoundguys.com/jlab-jbuds-mini-review-105423Read 15 October 2026Review text against the SoundGuys headphone preference curve. No numeric bass or treble deviation is published in the text.
Boosted bass sound signature. The response stays close to its bass-heavy tuning, with treble variations that can veil detail or brighten sibilants. SoundGuys tested a purchased A3955 on firmware 1.67. With its Default profile, its B&K 5128 measurement shows a bass peak roughly 12 dB above the SoundGuys preference target around 60 Hz and a broad treble peak about 5 dB above target around 3-5 kHz. These are local peaks, not regional bass/treble averages. The two labs use different targets.7Reviewrtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-p40i-true-wirelessRead 30 September 2026Our Verdict: Audio Reproduction Accuracy21Reviewsoundguys.com/anker-soundcore-p40i-review-143328Read 7 October 2026Added SoundGuys paragraph only.

The microphones struggle a little with noise and wind in SoundGuys' simulated street and windy conditions.8Reviewsoundguys.com/jlab-jbuds-mini-review-105423Read 15 October 2026Review: the microphones tend to struggle a little with noise and wind rejection.
Voice sounds distorted and thin on calls. In loud conditions the mics separate noise decently but can cut out parts of speech. SoundGuys standardized artificial-mouth recordings cover ideal, office, street, wind and reverberant conditions on firmware 1.67. Its original review reports overly aggressive suppression can cut small speech segments. Host/codec are unstated. No numeric rejection value inferred from listener votes.7Reviewrtings.com/headphones/reviews/anker/soundcore-p40i-true-wirelessRead 30 September 2026Our Verdict: Microphone21Reviewsoundguys.com/anker-soundcore-p40i-review-143328Read 7 October 2026Added SoundGuys controlled-recording paragraph only. Its general method uses prerecorded speech from calibrated artificial mouth, with/without simulated noise and reverberation. Product review publishes those samples and describes suppression dropouts. Firmware 1.67. Host/codec unstated. Existing RTINGS description retained.22Reviewsoundguys.com/how-we-testRead 7 October 2026Reviewer official method: calibrated artificial mouth plays prerecorded phrases in chamber, optionally with simulated background/reverberation. Conditions are measurement procedures, not a subjective untested listening note.
