These Open-Back Soundcore Headphones Are Now $40.
The Soundcore C50i open-back headphones have dropped to $39.98 (the original price was $69.99), their lowest price yet, according to price tracking sites . This reduction makes them a more attractive purchase, especially if you were interested in open-back headphones but didn’t want to spend too much. Their clip-on design wraps around the ear with a flexible titanium memory foam frame, creating a C-shape that stays securely in place without penetrating the ear canal.
The open-back design of these headphones allows you to stay aware of traffic, conversations, and your surroundings at the gym, as nothing obscures your ears. The tradeoff is sound isolation—you hear more of the world around you, and those around you can hear your music at a higher volume. The sound profile of these IP55-rated headphones is skewed toward stronger bass, adding a dynamic feel during workouts or casual listening, but they don’t offer the same depth or isolation as traditional in-ear headphones. If you like to customize your sound, the Soundcore app offers some control, including presets like bass boost and treble boost, as well as a customizable equalizer.
The headphones support LDAC, which improves sound quality on compatible Android devices, though it may reduce battery life. They also feature Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint support, making it easy to switch between a phone and laptop. AI-powered speech recognition does a decent job of filtering out background noise during outdoor conversations, but performance still depends on how busy your surroundings are. Battery life meets expectations—about seven hours on a single charge and up to 28 hours with the USB-C charging case. Overall, the C50i are best suited for those who value comfort and sensitivity over immersive audio. If you need strong sound isolation or deep, airtight sound, these headphones may not be for you. However, for active use and extended wear, the current price makes them an affordable option.
