Getting your hands on a great pair of true wireless earbuds doesn't come cheap, but for just one day only, Best Buy is offering the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ (certified refurbished) on sale for $49.99, saving you $100 off their regular cost.
While buying refurbished may not be your first choice, the Geek Squad at Best Buy has thoroughly tested each pair to ensure they're in proper working condition. Plus, a 90-day warranty is included with the purchase in the event that you notice a defect with the headphones that slipped by Best Buy's team. If you'd rather buy a new pair, Amazon has select colorways discounted as low as $96 today.
You can read more about the Galaxy Buds+ in our review where they earned a nearly perfect rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Daniel Bader said, "The Galaxy Buds Plus are among the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. Samsung has made improvements across the board, from sound quality to call quality to battery life — especially battery life — without losing any of the features people loved from the originals."
You'll get up to 11 hours of battery life per earbud, while the included case also doubles as a portable charger so you can extract another 11 hours there before you ever have to connect the case to a USB-C or wireless charger. The Buds+ have premium sound tuned by AKG and an optimized driver for substantial bass. You'll sound great when you're on a call thanks to noise-cancelling mics, too.
With Ambient Aware2, which is only available on Android, you'll be able to control how much of the surrounding noise you let it. Sometimes, like on an airplane, you just want to block out all the noise (which these buds achieve via passive noise isolation, rather than active noise cancellation). Other times, like when walking down the street, it might be helpful to hear speeding cars nearby. You can easily switch to ambient mode, too, when you think someone is calling out to you or you suddenly need to hear what's going on.
One nifty feature the Galaxy Buds+ have over the previous-gen is Spotify integration. This means that you can assign a specific playlist to a tap gesture directly on your earbuds. It's a nice feature to have, especially if you're a heavy Spotify user. Just know that this feature also only works on Android.
These earbuds work with both iOS and Android devices, though some features are platform-specific. You can connect via Bluetooth to pretty much anything. On iOS, you'll get access to voice commands through Siri rather than Google Assistant on Android.
