Because Samsung‘s AirPods-rivaling true wireless earbuds roster has basically always been a little confusing and convoluted, you might be having trouble tracing the lineage of the Galaxy Buds Plus. Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for, reminding you that these bad boys were released all the way back in 2020 as an improved version of the original Galaxy Buds (well, duh), and perhaps surprisingly, highlighting their steadfast appeal in 2023.
Of course, actually finding the technically discontinued Galaxy Buds+ in stock at a trusted US retailer nowadays is no easy feat, but it can be done. And yes, we’re talking about brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged units backed by a standard manufacturer warranty and currently sold at $49 a pair by Walmart in a single black colorway.
Speaking of tomorrow, that’s unfortunately when Walmart’s amazing Galaxy Buds+ promo will open to all customers, with exclusive early availability granted to Walmart+ members. That itself is an interesting alternative to the My Best Buy and Amazon Prime subscription services, costing $49 for an entire year right now with a lot of perks and benefits included.
Whether you can order the $49 Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus today or you’ll wait until tomorrow for the deal’s availability to be expanded, it’s incredibly difficult to beat this value proposition even in 2023’s super-crowded and competitive wireless earbuds landscape.
No, you won’t get active noise cancellation for your 50 bucks, but the overall premium sound (even by “modern” industry standards), extraordinary battery life (11 hours without the charging case taken into consideration), Ambient Aware technology, IPX2 water resistance, and super-sleek design make your (modest) expense well worth it.
