When it comes to true wireless earbuds deals, there are numerous options on the market to choose from. Some brands make buds that only cost $20, while others specialize in boutique performance at a higher cost. Then there’s the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro. These two all-new pairs of Samsung buds are shaping up to be a nice improvement for the line, and Samsung is offering an awesome promo on both sets. Tuesday, July 23 is your last day to grab this preorder deal.

For the Galaxy Buds 3 standard, you can get up to $100 in trade-in credit for an older pair of Galaxy Buds. Without any savings, you’re looking at $180 for the Buds 3. The same $100 trade-in applies to the Buds 3 Pro, which are $250 at full retail. Make sure to check out Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 preorders and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 preorders if you want a new phone to match your earbuds.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3

Available in black and white, the Galaxy Buds 3 bring an all-new look to the table that reminds us of Apple AirPods. Whether you like listening to tunes all day, or simply need some white noise to drown out workplace chatter, the Galaxy Buds 3 utilizes an open design and noise canceling to allow important sound in, while drowning out the tones you don’t want to hear. 

Pinch controls and gesture swiping for volume is on tap, and the inclusion of in-ear detection sensors will automatically pause music and podcasts when you take the Buds 3 out of your ears, resuming only once you place them back in. You can also expect up to 6 hours of battery life per bud.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

The Buds 3 Pro are the Samsung flagship earbuds of 2024. Prioritizing sound quality, audio immersion, and premium levels of comfort, the Buds 3 Pro are hybrid ANC earbuds that come with multiple ear tip sizes. Features like Adaptive Noise Control and Siren Detect are particularly great for city commuters who need to stay aware of their surroundings at all times. 

Each bud is equipped with a 10mm driver and planar tweeter, so you can expect some pretty well-rounded audio. We also look forward to improved call quality and up to 7 hours of battery life. 

We see earbud and headphone deals all the time, but we’re not sure how long this amazing Samsung promo is going to last. Get $100 in trade-in credit toward the purchase of the new Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, just as long as your old earbuds are eligible. We also have a big list of Samsung Galaxy deals for you to peruse!

Beats Studio Buds are still nearly half off after Prime Day
Red Beats Studio Buds.

This year's Prime Day deals are officially over, but Amazon's 47% discount for the Beats Studio Buds has not yet disappeared. The wireless earbuds, which are originally sold at $150, are still down to nearly half-price at $79, for savings of $71. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this bargain, and since it may disappear at any moment you're going to have to complete your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio Buds wireless earbuds
Our Beats Studio Buds review describes the earbuds as the AirPods Pro Lite, as these wireless earbuds offer a host of helpful features at an affordable price. First and foremost, you'll enjoy powerful but balanced sound with these audio devices, which are compatible with both iOS and Android. While listening to your favorite playlists, you can either block all external sound by turning on active noise cancellation, or let them all in through transparency mode.

Walmart is trying to get rid of the Beats Studio 3 post-Prime Day

Walmart slashed the price of the Beats Studio 3 with a $221 discount for its Prime Day deals, but you can still get the wireless headphones for that much cheaper even after the shopping holiday has ended. They're still down to a very affordable $129 from their original price of $350, so it appears that Walmart is trying to offload all its stock of the wireless headphones. That may happen sooner than you expect though, so if you're interested in this bargain, you need to complete the purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Beats Studio 3 wireless headphones
Beats is one of the most popular names for wireless headphones, and you'll be able to see why with the Beats Studio 3. They will let you listen to your favorite playlists and watch streaming shows with excellent sound quality, and they offer pure adaptive noise canceling technology so that you won't be disturbed by what's going on around you. The wireless headphones are powered by Apple's W1 chip, which enables a battery life of up to 22 hours with ANC activated and up to 40 hours with the feature deactivated. The chip also makes pairing the Beats Studio 3 with Apple devices extremely easy, but of course they're also compatible with other Bluetooth devices.

It’s your last chance to grab one of our favorite TVs at a Prime Day price
LG C3 OLED

We’re always on the lookout for 65-inch Prime Day TV deals, but we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw how cheap this LG OLED is: As part of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event, you can purchase the LG 65-inch C3 Series OLED for $1,400. That’s an extra $200 off one of the best OLED TVs we’ve ever tested.

 
Why you should buy the LG C3 OLED
For years now, LG has been the signature TV brand for OLED technology, and until Samsung and Sony started making their own OLED sets not long ago, LG was pretty much the only game in town. The C3 Series was one of our favorite OLEDs for 2023, with overall peak brightness, colors, and contrast all being major wins in our book.
