Early Black Friday deals keep coming in hot, and even new devices that were released mere weeks ago are getting price slashes. Case in point: Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds FE earbuds in white or black are selling for a nice $69.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung — a whole $30 / 30 percent off. These noise-canceling earbuds offer a good value at their full price of $99.99, but it definitely doesn’t hurt to save even more.

The Galaxy Buds FE are kind of a reincarnation of the older Galaxy Buds Plus, especially in the design and fit department. The new Buds FE sport wing tips that may offer a more secure fit in your ears (depending on your ear shapes, of course). But the real appeal here is that you get some solid audio performance and good noise cancellation for such a low price. You sacrifice some niceties found on pricier earbuds like multipoint connectivity and wireless charging, but for just 70 bones? Come on.

Samsung’s budget-friendly Galaxy Buds FE offer some very good sound and noise cancellation for the money. They also feature a return of the wing tip design from the older Galaxy Buds Plus, the fit of which some may prefer. Read our review.

While Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro go on frequent discounts and are also on excellent sales ahead of Black Friday, they just can’t touch the low prices of the FE versions. If you just need a simple pair of earbuds with noise cancellation (especially if you have a Samsung phone) the FE is a sweet deal.
