The Best Earbuds for Samsung Users Have Never Been Cheaper for Amazon's Prime Day Sale
Major online shopping events like Amazon's Prime Day are always the best time to buy headphones. Apple's AirPods Pro tend to dominate the sales charts for Bluetooth earbuds, but if you're a Samsung user, they're obviously not going to be a great fit. The solution? Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which you can get on sale right now for $166.24 on Amazon, or about 34% off, the cheapest they've been since hitting the market last year. Now, there are plenty of options out there for non-Apple users looking for a good pair of wireless earbuds. To give you one example, CNET's own list of the best wireless earbuds named Sony's WF-1000XM5 as the best pair on the market, and those are also 34% off for Prime Day at $198 if you'd like. Elsewhere on that list, though, CNET also named the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro as the best option for Samsung users, and it's not hard to see why. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. These earbuds boast a number of features tailored to folks with Samsung Galaxy or any other sort of Android smartphones, most notably support for the "high-resolution" Samsung Seamless Codec for audio quality. Those users will also have access to the Galaxy Wear app, which is the exclusive method the company uses to push through updates. While you can technically connect these buds to an iPhone, you won't find the Wear app in Apple's App Store, leaving the experience far from ideal. Beyond those exclusive perks for Android users, CNET's audio guru Dave Carnoy said in his review of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro that you can expect a "lightweight and comfortable" feel, excellent audio and call quality, and some solid noise-cancellation to boot. The primary flaw he noted was the price, which you can avoid altogether if you buy now at this historically low price during Prime Day. Why does this deal matter? The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are the top-of-the-line when it comes to the earbuds Samsung produces, which means that most of the time you can expect a top-of-the-line price tag to match. Now, however, you can grab yourself a pair for the lowest price that they've ever been available for.

'I swapped my AirPods for a budget Amazon pair and they're still going strong two years on'
'I swapped my AirPods for a budget Amazon pair and they're still going strong two years on' I was sceptical of the Btoos True Wireless Earbuds from Amazon, but I was pleasantly surprised and even now two years on, I still find myself reaching for them over my more expensive pairs I swapped my AirPods for this budget Amazon pair (Image: Harriet Morphy-Morris ) Apple AirPods, Samsung Galaxy Buds, and Sony headphones are all pairs I've used or currently use. They're renowned for their superior sound quality, excellent transparency, noise cancelling capabilities, hands-free operation, and sleek designs, all of which justify their £100 plus price tags. However, a few years ago, I made the decision to swap my AirPods for the budget-friendly Btoos True Wireless Earbuds from Amazon, priced at just £18.99. Tech enthusiasts might scoff at the idea, but I found them to be a reliable pair for tossing in my bag, walking the dog, or any activity where there's a slight risk of losing an earbud. Two years after I endorsed this pair as a budget-friendly option, I'm back with an updated review on this more affordable alternative. With standard Bluetooth, 36 hours of playtime, and Environmental Noise Cancelling technology, there are some unexpected features packed into this inexpensive pair.

Naturally, they do lack some of the high-end features (as expected), so if you're in the market for top-tier tech like Apple's latest AirPods 4 with enhanced Active Noise Cancellation, they might be a better fit - currently priced at £129 at Currys. Earphones for budget shoppers £18.99 Amazon Buy Here Product Description The Btootos A90 True Wireless Earbuds are fitted with Bluetooth 5.3, noise reduction technology, a waterproof rating of IP7, and playtime of around 36 hours when on a full battery. The sale price of £18.99 is for Prime members only. For those who prefer headphones, the Sony ULT Wear is another viable choice, offering more pizzazz than Amazon's £18 Wireless Buds - and I say this as someone who has personally tested both. Retailing at £129.99 at Argos, the Sony ULT pair boasts superior sound quality with its deep bass mode and a powerful sound feature, essentially a button that intensifies the music in your ears, reports Chronicle Live. Both of these options provide features that Amazon's budget-friendly pair simply can't match, which isn't surprising given their sub-£20 price tag. However, I wouldn't write them off just yet. I still use this cheap pair of Amazon earphones when I don't want to risk losing my AirPods (Image: Harriet Morphy-Morris/Amazon ) Article continues below One feature I particularly appreciate is the LED display, something even AirPods don't offer. This LED display outshines Apple's offering, with a small illuminated indicator displaying battery life - a feature that sets these £20 earbuds apart from my current £100+ Apple pair. Even after two years, the light hasn't dimmed or flickered. The LED charging display allows you to keep track of the headset's charge level on the move, showing the battery status of each earbud. Years after my impulsive budget purchase, the only aspect of the Amazon pair that hasn't lived up to expectations is the battery life. Initially, the earbuds did deliver on their promised '36H playtime', but now I find myself needing to recharge them after just a few hours of use.
