The Soundcore C50i Open Ear Earbuds Are $40 Right Now

THE Soundcore C50i open earbuds are down to $39.98 (originally $69.99), their lowest price yet, according to price trackers. This drop makes them easier to consider, especially if you’re curious about open-ear models but don’t want to spend too much. Its clip-on design wraps around your ear with a flexible memory titanium frame, forming a C-shape that stays securely in place without entering the ear canal.

This open-ear design allows you to stay aware of traffic, conversations, and the gym environment because nothing is blocking your ears. The trade-off is sound isolation: you hear more of the outside world, and people around you can hear some of your music at higher volumes. The sound profile of these IP55-rated headphones leans toward stronger bass, adding a bit of punch during workouts or casual listening, but they don’t offer the same depth or isolation as traditional headphones. If you want to change the tuning, the Soundcore app gives you some control over how things sound, with presets like Bass Boost and Treble Boost, as well as a custom EQ option.

There is support for LDAC, which helps improve audio quality on compatible Android devices, although it may reduce battery life. You also get Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint, which makes it easy to switch between phone and laptop, and AI-assisted call clarity that properly filters out background noise on outside calls, but performance still depends on how busy your environment is. Battery life is about what you’d expect here: you get around seven hours per charge and up to 28 hours with the case, which charges via USB-C. Overall, the C50i works best for people who value comfort and awareness over immersion. If you want strong isolation or a deep, sealed sound, this may not be the right choice. But for active use and long wear, the current price makes it an affordable option.
