Save $30 on This Pair of Marshall Minor III True Wireless Earbuds

These tiny, compact and powerful earbuds will stand out.

We’re all used to the typical names when it comes to headphones and earbuds: AirPods, Beats and Sony. But there are many other brands that you wouldn’t even think produce earbuds. That’s especially true for Marshall, the original amplifier company that specializes in musical equipment.

I remember jamming to my electric guitar on a small 20W Marshall amplifier. The amp lasted me years and its rugged case got through many tough situations. Fast forward to today: Marshall has produced quality earbuds that are just as sturdy and provide as good sound quality as their amps. The company has had decades to perfect its craft.

You can grab the Marshall Minor III true wireless in-ear headphones for just $100 (and save $30) today on Amazon. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, so act quickly before it goes back to full price.

These earbuds feature Marshall’s signature sound and have Bluetooth 5.2 capabilities. You get 25 hours of playtime: five hours on the earbuds and an additional four charges in the carrying case. With powerful 12mm drivers, these buds deliver enhanced bass, smooth mids and clear highs.

The Marshall Minor III buds have a rugged design on the earbuds and the case, making it stand out from competitors like AirPods or Beats Studio which pride themselves on smooth and sleek designs. The part of the buds that goes into your ears are ergonomically designed, however, and have IPX4 waterproof rating.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 Might Come in 5G and 4G Cellular Models

If the rumor proves true, the 5G Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3 that debuted last fall.

Samsung’s next high-end Galaxy Watch could support faster 5G speeds, but if this leak is true, it will depend on where you live. The rumored Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 might come in 5G and 4G cellular models, with availability for each smartwatch depending on the country.

According to the Dutch website Galaxy Club (and spotted by SamMobile), Samsung’s servers may have revealed a series of model numbers that point to 5G, 4G and Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the next Galaxy Watch Ultra, which would succeed the original model that debuted in 2024.

A representative for Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Galaxy Club website speculates that the 5G edition would be sold in the US and Korean markets, while the 4G edition would sell in the rest of the world. In the US, a 5G version of the Galaxy Watch Ultra would rival the 5G-enabled $799 Apple Watch Ultra 3, which debuted last fall. The 4G edition would have broader compatibility worldwide, since the earlier network is far more established.

It will likely be a few months until we hear anything official about the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung typically unveils its new watches in the summer alongside its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldable phones. Last year, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but otherwise left the prior 2024 Ultra in the lineup for those looking for a larger 47mm smartwatch.
