If you’re looking for a trendy pair of truly wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation (ANC) on deck and just can’t decide between the industry-leading AirPods Pro and the hot new from Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, you could also consider last year’s Galaxy Buds Live.
Yes, Samsung’s third-ever AirPods rival effort and the first to feature the very latest ANC technology still looks weird, but the battery life, overall sound quality and yes, even the noise canceling functionality are pretty much unmatched in the sub- $ 100 bracket right now.
Technically it is Galaxy Buds Live costs $ 169.99 in brand new condition and occasionally marked down to $ 129.99, $ 119.99, or $ 109.99, but if you have no problem opting for refurbished units, you can pay just $ 59.99 at the time of writing.
You only have 24 hours (or less, depending on when you read this) to score Best Buy’s latest discount, which manages to beat any previous retailer price reductions. The kidney bean-shaped earbuds are down a whopping $ 110 from the regular price of all-new units in a single black shade, with the white and bronze flavors currently fetching $ 79.99 a pair after solid $ 90 in-house discounts.
Backed by a 90-day warranty, these incredibly affordable bad boys are “repaired and restored to like-new condition,” meaning that, aside from a single minor scratch, you shouldn’t be able to notice any difference compared to a completely new product from both a cosmetic and functional point of view.
While they are somewhat inferior to the Galaxy Buds Pro in several departments, starting with the overall appearance of course, the Galaxy Buds Live can objectively be considered a much better value proposition than both of their cousins and the aforementioned AirPods Pro for a meager $ 60. .
