The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro sit among the best wireless earbuds for a number of reasons: they sound great, offer impressive ANC, and their sleek design brings a comfortable, secure fit that doesn't stick too far out of your ears. If we had to point to a negative, it would be the $230 retail price tag. But Samsung is remedying that by offering a promotion that will allow you to snag a pair for as little as $140.

The deal works like this: right off the bat, Samsung takes $40 off the retail price, knocking the new Pros down to $190. That price can then drop another $50 if you have a pair of old earbuds to trade in. That's the base trade-in value for both wired and wireless earbuds, and as long as they work, it looks like Samsung will accept them. This takes the price from $190 to $140 and is what most buyers can expect. If you happen to own a pair of recent-ish Galaxy Buds (+, Pro, Buds 2), though, you're actually eligible for a $75 trade-in credit, meaning you can upgrade to the Buds 2 Pro for just $115.

Why you should buy the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

In our review, we rated these earbuds a 9 out of 10 and recommend them to anyone on Android looking for premium true wireless earbuds. There are a few features, such as a proprietary 24-bit audio codec and head-tracking, 360-degree audio, that are exclusive to Samsung phones, but the rest of the great features are there for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to their great sound, useful ANC, and sleek design, the Buds 2 Pro also include touch controls for volume and playback and a nifty ANC option that will automatically turn the music down and activate transparency mode when you start talking. Then, once you've been quiet for 5-10 seconds, the beats crank back up. This really comes in handy for quick IRL conversations, as you don't have to remove an earbud or fumble with controls. The Buds 2 Pro are also water-resistant, with an IPX7 rating, meaning they can survive immersion in up to 3 feet for up to a half-hour — but please, don't take 'em swimming — and offer up to 8 hours of battery life.

Considering most of us have an old pair of wired or wireless headphones wasting away somewhere in our tech-hoarding collections, this is a great way to reduce the clutter while slipping into fresh-feeling buds with full sound and ample extras. In fact, the only possible reason to possibly pass on the deal right now would be if you want to use the $50 Samsung instant credit you'll get for reserving the Galaxy S23 Ultra before its February 1 debut.
