Brands like Nothing and, to some degree, Beats have led the charge on implementing retro-future design aesthetics into the earbuds space. In many ways this approach has been largely headlined by the use of see-through transparent facades, much like we are seeing on the Anker Soundcore C30i Open Earbuds that are now on sale at a much lower rate than either of the aforementioned competition with a $48.99 shipped deal price via Amazon. Details below.
While this morning did usher in a particularly notable all-time low on the transparent Beats Studio Buds+ at $63 Prime shipped, those are arguably less design forward and fall into the sealed ANC buds category. The Anker Soundcore C30i, on the other hand, deliver an open-ear treatment alongside the see-through action and at a lower price point.
Regularly $70, Anker’s official Amazon storefront is now offering the C30i down at $48.99 shipped, including both the Clarity Black model on display above and the more minimalist white set. This is 30% off the going rate, matching the previous deal price, and on par with the lowest price we have tracked all-time.
While they clearly aren’t going to deliver the same level of quality or audio reproduction as something like the $299 Bose Ultra Open Bluetooth Earbuds, they are also dramatically less expensive than the $249 deal price we are tracking on the Bose variant, and also deliver on that conversation-worthy transparent vibe too.
The C30i deliver a similar clip-on design with attachable ear grips “specifically designed to ensure your clip on headphones stay securely in place” alongside an “ultra-fine mesh” and a protective nano-coating to aid with the IPX4 water resistance. C30i “boasts expansive 12mm × 17mm racetrack drivers. Coupled with a titanium-coated diaphragm, you can enjoy clear audio, even with open-ear listening.”
