Soundcore C50i features: Soundcore has updated its open-ear series with the new C50i earbuds, and already, they are making waves among audiophiles and runners alike. The new model claims better sound, more comfort, and smarter features-all at no extra cost. But how much better is the C50i compared to the C40i? Let's break it down and see what makes these earbuds worth your attention.
Soundcore's C50i retains the same open-ear, clip-on design that fans liked in the C40i but with some clever tweaks. The new Flexible Open-Ring Design uses a mix of speaker modules, a small battery, and memory titanium that wraps comfortably around the ear for a more secure fit. Each earbud weighs just 5.5 grams, making it lighter and more comfortable for long listening sessions. This makes it ideal for runners, commuters, or anyone who prefers staying aware of their surroundings.
While the C50i upscales in terms of sound with larger 12mm drivers tuned for deeper bass, it also adds LDAC support for high-resolution audio boon for any music lover who wants clarity and detail. Then there's Bluetooth 6.0 multipoint connectivity to let you connect to two devices at once, and AI-enhanced voice calls for clear conversations even in noisy environments. These upgrades make the C50i a more versatile choice with regard to music and calls.
Durability has also been improved. The Soundcore C50i now carries an IP55 rating, up from the IPX4 found on the C40i, and should be more resistant to dust and water splashes. It employs physical buttons for controls and charges via USB-C. Battery life is as good, delivering up to 7 hours of playtime on one charge, with the charging case boosting the total time to 28 hours. That's a respectable step up over the C40i, which delivered a bit less endurance.
One of the key features is live translation for up to 100 languages, something you rarely see even on high-end earbuds. It lets you communicate more easily when traveling or communicating across language barriers. The C50i will cost just $69.99, with a launch price of $55.99 if you're an Amazon Prime customer. That's roughly half the original $119.99 price of the C40i, making this new model a much better buy.
