Samsung's Galaxy Buds Live are some of the cheapest noise-cancelling buds you can get right now

Released all the way back in 2020 with a decidedly... funky design inspired by kidney beans (?!), the noise-cancelling Galaxy Buds Live have unsurprisingly been superseded by 2021's Galaxy Buds Pro... and 2021's Galaxy Buds 2... and 2022's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
Unlike the first-gen Galaxy Buds Pro, however, these bad boys haven't been officially discontinued yet, instead scoring a number of substantial discounts over the last 12 months or so obviously aimed at maintaining their mainstream appeal in an incredibly crowded and competitive market.
By no means the all-around best wireless earbuds money can buy this holiday season, the Galaxy Buds Live are an undeniably interesting value proposition right now at a lower than ever price of $79.99.
That makes these by far the most affordable Galaxy Buds currently available from either Samsung directly or major US retailers such as Best Buy, and if you like to stand out at the gym or on the street, you might be delighted to find that this unprecedented discount from a $149.99 list price exclusively applies to a snazzy blue flavor that Amazon, for instance, doesn't sell.
While Best Buy theoretically plans to keep this killer new deal alive for 48 hours, we certainly wouldn't be surprised if inventories were to run out much sooner than that.
After all, there aren't a lot of well-reviewed true wireless earbuds options with active noise cancellation baked in fetching well below $100 ahead of the official start of the holiday shopping season, and if you think you can live with (or even learn to appreciate) the unconventional Galaxy Buds Live style, you'll undoubtedly be pleased with the features and capabilities on deck here.
The overall sound quality could well end up blowing your mind (when taking the new all-time low price into consideration), not to mention the solid battery life, relatively basic but handy IPX2 water resistance, flawless connectivity, and perfect voice call clarity.
