Anker Japan has unveiled the Soundcore C50i, a pair of clip-on earbuds featuring official Pokémon branding. The launch introduces two distinct models: one themed after Pikachu and another based on Eevee. The Soundcore C50i clip-on earbuds provide a lightweight, portable design that combines practical functionality with distinctive Pokémon branding.

New clip-on earbuds feature IP55 resistance and 28-hour battery life

The device utilizes Anker's standard C50i hardware platform, which features 12 mm dynamic drivers intended to enhance bass response and overall sound richness. These earbuds feature a clip-on form factor that secures easily to clothing for comfortable wear without using standard in-ear tips.

Specifications

  • Weight (earbuds): 5.5 g (0.19 oz.) each
  • IP Rating: IP55
  • Battery Life (earbuds): up to 7 hours between recharges
  • Total Battery Life (with case): 28 hours
  • Charging Time (earbuds): 1.2 hours

Key specifications include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability during daily use. Each earbud weighs just 5.5 grams (0.19 oz.), contributing to a lightweight listening experience. Battery performance supports up to seven hours of playback on a single charge from the earbuds alone.

When paired with the charging case, the total battery life extends to 28 hours. The case itself measures 6.2 x 3.1 x 4.1 cm (2.44 x 1.22 x 1.61 in.), maintaining a compact profile for easy portability. Charging the earbuds takes approximately 1.2 hours, while fully recharging the case requires about 3.2 hours.

Audio connectivity relies on Bluetooth codecs including SBC and AAC, with LDAC support available exclusively for Android devices. The earbuds utilize 12 mm dynamic drivers and support LDAC codec on Android devices to enhance bass response and sound richness.

The Soundcore C50i Pikachu and Eevee models will be available from Anker Japan starting in July 2026. Pricing is set at 13,990 yen (approximately $89) for each variant. This release marks a specific regional launch focused on the Japanese market.

Anker claims a 33.93% reduction in noise leakage compared to previous generation models, addressing common concerns with open-ear audio devices. Anker Japan markets these models as stylish accessories that also offer IP55 dust and water resistance for daily use.
