Reg. $150 $79

Amazon is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 for $79 shipped. Normally selling for $150, you’re looking at a match of the all-time low for one of the first times. This is the best we’ve seen in months, clocking in at $10 under the fall Prime Day mention from earlier in the week.  If you’re not sold on the more recent Pro 2 models that just launched last fall, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 deliver many of the flagship features you’d expect with a more affordable price tag attached. Active noise cancelation is easily one of those highlights, but you’ll also benefit from up to 29 hours of battery life being paired with Qi wireless charging support. Not to mention, there’s also an Earbud fit test for getting the best seal. Check out all of the details in our hands-on review.
