A Colombian eyewear brand has transformed what many would consider a limitation into a competitive advantage. Soul Optic employs blind artisans who handcraft sophisticated, screw-free frames in darkness, leveraging their heightened tactile sensitivity. Each pair of sunglasses and prescription glasses is meticulously assembled using a system inspired by Braille writing slates. The frames distinctive bridge design draws inspiration from bats creatures who, like the artisans, navigate their world through heightened non-visual senses.Rather than treating inclusivity as an afterthought or marketing angle, Soul Optic has embedded it into its core production process and brand identity. By developing a product and production process adapted to its workers, the company can provide economic opportunities for visually impaired individuals from disadvantaged communities. Besides forming a connection thats clear as day for consumers to grasp eyewear made by people who cant rely on vision Soul Optic is tangible proof of how assumed limitations can spark innovation when brands leverage purpose as their driver of creativity.

You don't necessarily need to break the bank for a very good set of wireless earbuds, and that's even more true around this time of year when there are Black Friday deals aplenty to be had. Our pick for the best budget wireless earbuds is on sale for the occasion. Anker's Soundcore Space A40 earphones are 44 percent (or $35) off, which brings the price down to $45. That matches a record-low price for these earphones. We first saw them dip to $45 during the October Prime Day event. While the audio quality isn't on the level of high-end earbuds from the likes of Sony and Bose (a feat that would be extremely difficult to pull off at this price range), we feel that the Space A40s have a pleasant, warm sound. They also have features that you'd often have to spend much more to get from earbuds, such as an adaptive active noise cancellation system that adjusts settings automatically depending on the audio in your surroundings. Other features multipoint connectivity to link the earbuds to two devices simultaneously. They're IPX4-rated for water resistance too. The Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are slated to run for 10 hours on a single charge, with the case adding an extra 50 hours of listening time. A 10-minute charge can add four hours of listening time. The case supports wireless charging too. Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/our-favorite-pair-of-budget-wireless-earbuds-is-on-sale-for-only-45-for-black-friday-154250578.html?src=rss
