Have you ever been in a situation where you want to listen to music or podcasts on your earbuds, but also need to be aware of your surroundings? Lowering the volume doesn’t help much, and you probably don’t want to take the buds completely either. This is exactly what open-ear headphones are for.

These sit outside your ear canal instead of blocking it, which helps you stay aware of all that’s happening around. Treating yourself to a solid pair is quite affordable today, all thanks to Amazon. You can currently snap up the Soundcore V20i (by Anker) in black at a 46% discount – for just $27. These normally retail for $50, so you’re almost saving half off the regular price. Blue and white colors are discounted too, but they’re sitting at $29. Note that these are limited-time offers that can expire at any moment now. Place your orders now to avoid missing out!

Comfortable fit

The design here is really innovative. These rest outside the ear canal rather than popping right into it like regular buds. This has two main benefits; first, you’ll enjoy a comfortable fit, which especially comes in handy during extended listening sessions. Since these aren’t sealing your ear canal off completely, you won’t feel any unnecessary pressure building up with them on. The second benefit is the enhanced situational awareness. Your ears stay open, which keeps you aware of your surroundings. This basically means you’ll still be able to hear almost all of the conversations happening around, traffic noises, the instructions of your gym instructor, etc – while enjoying your favorite music.

Sound quality is really impressive. Soundcore V20i headphones feature advanced 16mm drivers, which are paired with the brand’s proprietary BassUp technology to push punchy lows and clear highs. This translates into solid audio quality for songs, podcasts, YouTube tutorials, and even calls. Speaking of phone calls, the four built-in microphones isolate your voice from the background stuff, delivering it clearly on the other end. Plus, since the buds channel sound directly into the ear canal, you won’t have to worry about audio leakage either.

You’ll also appreciate the tune-synced, personalized lights on the buds, which add some personality to the design. Battery-wise, you’re looking at up to 8 hours of listening with a single charge, which extends to 36 hours with the case. It’s plenty to keep the music going for hours and hours.

You can now enjoy all this and more for just $27 today, thanks to a massive 46% discount on Amazon. All three colors are discounted (prices may vary), so you’ve got options to pick from.
