If you’re looking for a pair of real wireless headphones made by someone other than Apple and just can’t decide between Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro and Live Buds … you may also want to consider the first generation Galaxy Buds.
Launched commercially about two years ago, this non-Pro AirPods alternative is obviously not as advanced and as full of features as the two newer models mentioned, without active noise cancellation technology, but it also didn’t impress with its excellent surround sound functionality at launch.
On the bright side, OG Galaxy Buds received a lot of software updates specifically aimed at improving this key feature, as well as many others, since 2019, and to make up for the absence of the ANC, Walmart is currently offering an unbeatable deal for an undoubtedly limited time.
Unbeatable in this particular case is not equivalent to something unprecedented, mind you, because the same large US retailer sold exactly the same product at an identical price of $ 49 last month. This time, however, it looks like you don’t necessarily need to visit a real brick and mortar store to save $ 80.99 from the regular price of $ 129.99 for a pair of these all-new, unused, closed and intact bad boys, although something tells us that Walmart will run out of stock again quickly.
The yellow, silver, black and “glow of the aura” flavors are all listed as out of stock at the time of writing, leaving you with only the white option available in one Price of $ 49 to destroy the AirPods.
Remember that audio quality, battery life, wireless connectivity and the comfort provided by Samsung Galaxy Buds are all very stellar (especially under $ 50), not to mention that these puppies come with a practical and modern wireless charging case, which is not what we can say about the second generation AirPods variant, much more expensive from Apple.
