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!

Don’t miss this chance to get the Apple AirPods 3 for $99
Apple AirPods 3 in their case..

Apple fans who are on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals probably have their sights set on AirPods. If you don't mind getting an older model, you can currently buy the Apple AirPods 3 for a very affordable $99 from Walmart, following a $70 discount on their sticker price of $169. We're not sure how much time is remaining on this offer, but with more than 1,000 units sold over the past 24 hours, we don't think the limited stocks for these wireless earbuds will last long. Proceed with your purchase now if you don't want to miss this bargain.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods 3
While the Apple AirPods 4 was released last year, alongside the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, we still highly recommend the Apple AirPods 3, especially at this discounted price. The wireless earbuds are more than three years old, but their sound quality remains impressive, and they also support personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive experience when listening to compatible content. The Apple AirPods 3 also come with the line's trademark ease of pairing with an iPhone -- just place them near your device, open their charging case, and tap the onscreen instructions to pair them.

Here’s you chance to grab Powerbeats Pro at a nice discount
Beats Powerbeats Pro.

Wireless earbuds and headphones are more popular than ever, but not all wearable audio tech is designed for hitting the gym. If you’re on the lookout for a great pair of fitness buds or cans, allow us to direct your attention to the Beats Powerbeats Pro TWS Earbuds, which happen to be on sale for $130 at Best Buy today. We tested these earbuds back in November 2023, and reviewer Ryan Waniata said, “The Powerbeats Pro call back to their sporty predecessors, ear hooks and all, but with a more sophisticated design.”

Why you should buy the Beats Powerbeats Pro
The Powerbeats Pro deliver a stable and secure fit, thanks in part to the built-in ear hooks and multiple ear tip sizes. IPX4-rated for water resistance, these are the perfect buds to pop in at the gym, on a run, or when you’re commuting to work or school. Designed to let ambient sound in, the Powerbeats Pro buds lack ANC capabilities, which also means you can expect great battery life. On a full charge, you’ll get up to 9 hours of playback, with an extra 15 hours provided by the fully charged case (recharges via Lightning).
