It looks like Apple's popular AirPods have some competition. CNET audio expert David Carnoy hailed Samsung's new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds as "better than the AirPods Pro 2 (in some ways)," and they're among the overall best pairs on the market in 2024. Right now, you can snag a pair for less at Amazon. The online retailer has dropped the price down to $190, which is a $60 discount and just $1 more than the all-time low price. Plus, this deal comes with a free $20 Amazon gift card, making this the best offer we've seen on these 2024 'buds.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earned a spot on our list of the best earbuds of 2024 thanks to their top-notch sound quality and solid noise-canceling performance, as well as their advanced feature set. They support Samsung's Galaxy AI, which automatically optimizes sound and can even provide real-time translation (when paired with a Galaxy phone). Plus, they boast truly excellent voice call performance and feature intuitive touch controls that make it easy to pause music, take calls and more on the fly. With an IP57 weather resistance rating, they're also fairly durable and protected against dust, sweat and splashing.
