Samsung is a brand you can rely on for just about all of your tech needs, whether it’s phones, laptops or even wireless earbuds. The company has a huge array of different options available, but one of the best in terms of affordability are the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE.

Normally $100, the Galaxy Buds FE are a great choice for a lot of people, but thanks to an incredible discount on Woot, you can currently get your hands on them for just $47. That’s an incredible price, but the deal is only on for today, so act fast to avoid missing out.

The Galaxy Buds FE are great entry-level earbuds, with an active noise cancellation feature you can turn on or off. With it on, you’ll get up to six hours of listening time before needing a charge. If you opt to keep the noise canceling off, you can get over eight hours.

Why this deal matters

It’s impossible to overstate how convenient wireless earbuds are, especially if you spend time on public transit or have to work in a noisy office. But not everyone wants to spend the kind of money needed to get a pair of high-end buds, meaning budget options are all the rage. $100 isn’t a bad price for a pair of earbuds with ANC, but less than half that? Well, that’s the kind of deal that’s too good to turn down.
