OK, I don't own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone (or even an Android handset), but I still think this noise-canceling earbuds deal should go straight to the top of the Amazon Prime Day deals pile. At times like these, timings (and prices) are fluid and subject to change – but the savings are very real. And this one just keeps getting better and better!
These particular Samsung Galaxy buds (or, to give them their proper name, Buds) are the excellent Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Shortly after their launch in August 2022, I knew Samsung had finally turned a corner. They're quite special. Yes, they've just been superseded by the AirPods-esque Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3, but newer doesn't always mean better – the September 2023 Samsung Galaxy Buds FE couldn't hold a candle to the Buds 2 Pro, after all.
Right now at Amazon US, the excellent Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are slashed in price to just $99.72, down from a $229 original MSRP, but I've quoted their most recent regular price of $219 in my discount math, because I'm an honest woman. Even then, it's a massive 57% saving – and from my research, this is a dollar cheaper than they have ever been (having briefly dropped to this price on June 5 at Amazon).
In the UK, they're now just £94 (was £129.99) which is another tidy deal when you consider that their original RRP was £219…

If you do own a Galaxy phone (and maybe want a second pair for the gym, say), these talented earbuds are a no-brainer for the money. Aside from the compact fit, diddy case, smaller shape, top ANC, voice detection (meaning that when you pipe up vocally, Ambient mode and lower music volume are automatically deployed to make your conversation easier), wearer detection, IPX7 waterproof rating, and customizable on-ear controls, you'll get the Samsung Wearable companion app and home-screen widget.
And that means 360 audio with optional head-tracking – yes, Samsung's answer to Apple's iOS-device-to-AirPods-only Spatial Audio with head-tracking. On top of this, a 2024 software update means you also get real-time translation powers, if you're using a Galaxy S24 series (or even a slightly older Galaxy S23 series) source device.
Elsewhere, the Buds Pro 2 are 15% smaller than Samsung's previous effort and 0.8g lighter per bud (5.5g vs the 6.3g Buds Pro), but more importantly, the design fits your ear simply and without any aggressive (and potentially painful) twist-and-lock methodology. I even list them in my best earbuds for small ears guide, they're that good.
Sound quality? Think punchy bass, impactful and textured mids, and joyous, easily handled highs. You can tweak the EQ for yourself if you'd like, and although the scope for noise cancellation is on, off, or ambient (so you cannot select the level you'd like on a slider, for example), it works easily as well as anything at this price and the extra features for the level are comprehensive.
The only fly in the ointment apart from the simple fact that they're not the newest Pro Buds on the block these days? Battery life, which is a claimed five hours of continuous playtime with ANC on (or eight without it) and up to 18 hours in the cradle. This is acceptable rather than class-leading – but remember, this is budget territory now, and it's perfectly acceptable for the meager fee.
At the time of writing, they are still some of the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market (and that guide proves it). For me, at this price they're unbeatable. And save even more money by checking out our Samsung promo codes page.
