soundcore is expanding its wearable audio lineup in the Philippines with the launch of the C50i and AeroClip, two open-ear earbuds designed to blend comfort, style, and situational awareness. Despite the unconventional form factor, the C50i packs a custom 12mm driver with Hi-Res Wireless audio and LDAC support. One of the more common terms thrown around today when buying audio equipment is “hi-fi” or high fidelity. These days though that has changed, a lot of consumer audio products out there, from earphones to headphones, throw the term hi-fi around. Digital music compresses music in a big way, they sacrifice audio quality for smaller file sizes so that users can have as many as they can in their devices. Even current streaming services offer a lossless tier, or premium tier so that users can listen to better quality sounding audio. Just like video formats, audio files also have different tiers of quality. Similar to 1080p on a TV, audio files can go up to 24-bit/192kHz, or even 32-bit/384kHz, don’t mind the numbers, it just means the higher the better.
