It’s already November which means Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, followed by perhaps the biggest shopping weekend of the year. I am of course talking about Black Friday and it’s younger sibling Cyber Monday. This historically makes for a great stretch of days to wrap up your holiday shopping so you can enjoy the December holidays stress-free, in the idela sense. The truth is, you’re better off shopping A.S.A.P. and just get all out of the way so you don’t have to think about it anymore. Amazon even has some tremendous deals right now worth taking advantage of, like this here set of Soundcore C50i by Anker Bluetooth earbuds.

Typically, you’d find these open-ear earbuds from Soundcore going for $70. That’s not too bad, but right now, Amazon has them on sale for a whopping 43% off. This brings the price down by a solid $30, meaning you only have to pay $40 for a limited time.

Stay Aware of What’s Around You

Lots of folks might think that noise cancellation is a must-have feature for your earbuds, but it really depends how you plan on using them. For instance, if you are an outdoor runner who works out on the roads, noise cancellation becomes a safety hazard. It’s crucial that you are aware of what’s going on around you. which means having your ears open to hear of potential concerns—like a car speeding up behind you.

The Soundcore C50i earbuds make use of an open-ear design. This keeps your ears unobstructed so you can be present. The music, podcast, or audiobook you have queued up is an addition, not a distraction. This also makes them, in my opinion, substantially more comfortable. It’s not pleasant having a chunk of plastic sitting inside of your ear. This keeps the earbud looped around the back, securely in place but still out of the way. They’re lightweight, stable, and won’t fall off during intense running or workouts—great for anyone with an active lifestyle.

Despite their tiny statue, these earbuds can pack quite the punch. The 12mm drivers are capable of delivering a powerful bass of up to 86dB. They’re clear and loud, no matter where you are.

Battery life is reliable. On a single charge, you can expect as much as seven hours. When you count what you get from the charging case, you are looking at about 28 hour in total before the whole set needs to be plugged back in again.
