It’s always a good plan to have some great earbuds at your disposal so you can enjoy your favorite music or podcasts while on the move without having to resort to a speaker. Right now, you can snap up the Google Pixel Buds at Staples for just $129. That’s a big savings of $50 on the usual price working out at 27% off. If you’re looking to enjoy music for less, this is a great time to buy these earbuds with savings not often this great during the summer. You’ll need to be quick though. We’re expecting stock to be pretty limited when they’re this low and you don’t want to miss out.

The Google Pixel Buds improve the design and sound of the original model of Google Pixel Buds and we were pretty impressed at how stylish they looked, how many useful features they offered, and how simple they were to set up. While you’re missing out on noise cancellation technology, these are still amongst the best earbuds out there for the price.

The earbuds offer up to five hours of playtime without missing a beat with a wireless charging case that extends that to up to 24 hours before you need to find a power source. That’s not bad going at all for the price and will suit you throughout your daily commute. They’re comfy too thanks to being designed well to fit into your ears neatly without any discomfort or aggravation. Controls are a simple matter of tapping and swiping so they take seconds to figure out meaning you can spend more time enjoying your music rather than struggling with awkward controls.

Simply put, the Google Pixel Buds are all about convenience and right now, they’re convenient for your bank balance too. Ordinarily priced at $179, you can grab a pair of earbuds for just $129 at Staples saving you $50 on the usual deal. This is the ideal time to upgrade your listening wear for less.

More headphone deals

Of course, if you’re not fully convinced by the Google Pixel Buds, either because you want to spend more or less, there are plenty of other great headphone deals out there for you to check out. There’s sure to be something that’s perfect for your budget and needs.

Audio-Technica’s new wireless StreamSet headset promises studio sound without the cables
Finally, a wireless headset that takes your voice seriously.
Audio technica new headset.

I've lost count of wireless headsets that sound great until the microphone switches on. That is exactly why a cord-free streaming headset from a studio-audio brand earns my attention (with a pinch of skepticism). Audio-Technica wants to change my mind, and I am all up for it.

The company has announced the "ATH-M50xSTS-WL," its first wireless headset in the StreamSet line. What's unique, however, is how the brand has combined the studio sound of its ATH-M50x monitor headphones with microphone tech from its 20 Series studio mics (via Audio-Technica).

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
