Given their branding, you'd be excused if you expected the Galaxy Buds 3 FE to be released at a slightly lower price than $149.99 last year. Samsung's second-ever Fan Edition earbuds also took a little too long to score a substantial enough discount that could considerably boost their mass appeal, but eventually, many cash-strapped buyers probably found the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro's low-cost "cousin" pretty much impossible to resist (especially with a Prime membership).

Hopefully, you did manage to resist Amazon's $50 Prime Day discount a few weeks ago, as the noise-cancelling earbuds with powerful sound and great battery life are somehow available at up to $70 under their list price now. And no, you (obviously) don't need a Prime membership or to jump through any other hoops anymore.

$70 off (47%)

The remarkably powerful Galaxy Buds 3 FE are incredibly cheaper right now than during Amazon's recent Prime Day 2026 festival, going $70 off list in a black color and $60 below their regular price in gray with active noise cancellation, excellent battery life, and an extended two-year warranty. Oh, and of course, you don't need a Prime membership to take advantage of this completely unprecedented and presumably unbeatable deal.

What you do need is to be okay with buying the Galaxy Buds 3 Fan Edition in a black colorway, although even the gray flavor is impressively marked down by a Prime Day-eclipsing $60 at the time of this writing.

Amazon, mind you, sells all of Samsung's best AirPods alternatives with extended two-year warranties, and that's just another good reason to consider getting the now ultra-affordable Galaxy Buds 3 FE over the non-noise-cancelling (and costlier) AirPods 4.

Should you expect the Galaxy Buds 4 FE (or perhaps the Galaxy Buds 5 FE) to see daylight soon? I honestly have no idea, but a release by the end of 2026 would definitely surprise me, especially considering the still-excellent list of Galaxy Buds 3 FE features and capabilities.

That includes a fancy Real-Time Interpreter tool, a large 11mm dynamic driver guaranteeing premium sound, Ambient Mode functionality, IP54 water and dust resistance, and last but certainly not least, six hours of uninterrupted listening time or a whopping 24 hours of endurance between charges with the small and elegant bundled charging case factored in.

Are these the absolute best wireless earbuds money can buy in 2026? Obviously not. But they might be the greatest you can get for (significantly) less than $100 right now, and you'd be foolish not to at least consider this totally unprecedented money-saving opportunity.

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
