Noise-canceling headphones deals
Opens in a new tab Credit: Samsung Our pick: Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 wireless earbuds (opens in a new tab) $84.96 at Amazon (save $65.03) Get Deal (opens in a new tab)Why we like them
The earbuds that put AirPods to shame — a.k.a. the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 — are on sale for $84.96 (reg. $149.99) in the olive green shade ahead of Prime Day. If you don't mind the color, you can scoop up some excellent earbuds that earned themselves a Mashable Choice badge of honor at just 96 cents away from their lowest price to date. Mashable's Alex Perry called out "comfort, looks, and terrific ANC" as some of the Galaxy Buds 2's best features. Sound quality and battery life are just mediocre, but we're willing to look past that at such a low price.
