The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are a standout pair of earbuds that deliver, whether you’re tuning in during your daily commute or relaxing at home. They’re the perfect accessory for going out and about and catching a podcast or taking your calls on the go.

How’s the audio quality, though? It’s excellent. These earbuds boast rich, crisp, and full-bodied sound. Don’t let their compact and sleek design fool you; these earbuds pack a punch when it comes to delivering sound that’s satisfyingly clear and bassy.

On the comfort and fit front, the Galaxy Buds Live feel great in your ears, providing a comfortable, secure fit that makes them great for all-day wear. Their shape makes them a bit more awkward at first than the Galaxy Buds+ line, but they’re easy enough to get used to.

When it comes to battery life, they offer 8 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, and the charging case extends this further, offering additional charges that result in a total of up to 29 hours of playtime. That’s more than enough to get you through a day of work, a long workout, and an evening of relaxation.

They also come with a feature that allows you to easily connect with other Galaxy devices, such as tablets or phones, using Samsung’s seamless device-to-device pairing. This means you can effortlessly switch between devices without the need to unpair and repair your earbuds.

The best part? These top-rated earbuds are a whopping 53% off right now at Amazon.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

The design of the AirPods Pro 2 is fairly similar to the previous generation, but Apple has introduced touch control to the AirPods Pro 2 to help users more seamlessly control their AirPods. The latest Apple AirPods Pro 2 earbuds offer 30 hours of listening time with the included charging case. They have an upgraded wireless chip for improved audio functionality, a new low distortion driver for clearer audio and improved active noise cancellation.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 provide truly custom sound: You can use your iPhone’s camera to analyze your unique ear anatomy and find the perfect audio settings for you.

Users will also get a new extra-small tip with their AirPods. The case did get a notable design upgrade with a new lanyard loop and a built-in speaker to help track the location of your AirPods case.

You’re paying for the better ergonomics here, improved sound, and what you’ll definitely end up agreeing is a premium experience. There’s certainly a lot to love about the Apple AirPods 2, especially when they’re on sale for just $219.
