Samsung’s latest Galaxy Buds 2 land at second-best price of the year
Amazon is now offering the second-best price of the year on the latest Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. Dropping these true wireless earbuds down to $90 across three styles, pricing today lands at $60 off the usual $150 going rate while marking the best we’ve seen in months. It’s $10 under previous mentions and the second-best of the year at within $5 of the February mention that landed at a 2023 low. If you’re not sold on the more recent Pro 2 models that just launched last fall, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 deliver many of the flagship features you’d expect with a more affordable price tag attached. Active noise cancellation is easily one of those highlights, but you’ll also benefit from up to 29 hours of battery life being paired with Qi wireless charging support. Not to mention, there’s also an Earbud fit test for getting the best seal. Check out all of the details in our hands-on review.
Even though the Galaxy Buds 2 come in three different styles to fit in with your everyday carry, you could take the looks one step further by picking up one of elago’s cases. These are something of a must for many 9to5Toys readers, and the brand makes everything from simplistic silicone styles to even more unique offerings that are shaped like classic Game Boys and more. Each of them sport a built-in carabiner for clipping to your bag, belt, or keys, as well as a soft, silicone design that’ll help fend off any damage to your shiny new earbuds.
Fitbit Charge 5 tracks heart rate, sleep, SpO2, and ECG for less
Amazon is now offering only the second discount of the year on the Fitbit Charge 5 Fitness Tracker. Dropping two styles down to $107, you’re looking at nearly 30% in savings from the typical $150 price tag. This comes within $7 of our previous mention from January while marking the first discount since. It’s the third-best offer of all-time at within $8 of the all-time low, too.
Sporting an always-on OLED display, Fitbit Charge 5 is the brand’s latest fitness tracker and delivers a series of specs to back that up. Alongside heart rate and sleep tracking, there’s also SpO2, a new Daily Readiness Score, skin temperature, and the just-released ECG monitoring. There’s also a seven-day battery life to round out the package, alongside a refreshed and premium design. If you’re looking for a way to monitor workouts through the end of spring and into summer without the larger smartwatch build, this is one of the best options out there. Dive into our launch coverage.
Govee’s just-released RGB lightstrip delivers Matter at $45
Govee just launched its first smart home accessory equipped with Matter support. Released last month, the new Govee M1 Smart Color Lightstrip launched at $60. Now it’s dropping down to $45, courtesy of Amazon. That $15 discount amounts to only the second chance to save while delivering a new all-time low. This is $5 under the launch discount we saw right after it first began shipping in May, with 25% in savings attached.
Aside from just being the first accessory in Govee’s stable to arrive with Matter support, the new lightstrip also packs out of the box HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant support. That lets you bring all of the multicolor accent lighting to your preferred digital assistant, with the 6.56-foot strip pairing right to your Wi-Fi. Perfect for making your gaming rig a bit more worthy of the battle station moniker, this accessory is also notable for just adding some ambience to shelves, behind a desk, or anywhere else in your home that could using some lighting. We break down the full experience in our launch coverage, which takes a closer look at why this lightstrip is more vibrant than previous Govee releases.
Spigen’s new Pixel Fold cases see first discounts from $40
Ahead of Google’s new Pixel Fold launching next week, Spigen’s official Amazon storefront is making sure you’re ready to protect the new handset right out of the box with a discount on one of its new covers. The new Spigen Thin Fit Pixel Fold Case now drops down to $40. That’s $5 off the usual $45 going rate at Amazon and marking the first chance to save. Comprised of a 2-piece construction as we’ve come to expect from folding smartphone covers, this case protects the back of your handset with a fairly typical design. Then for the exterior screen, there’s a bumper design that also employs the brand’s usual Air Cushion technology to keep your device protected against drops and the like. The cover comes in both black and clear designs depending on what kind of stylings you’d like to outfit your new smartphone with.
Spigen also has an even more rugged Pixel Fold case that’s now on sale ahead of the smartphone’s launch, too. The Slim Armor Pro steps up the protection with an added hinge cover to make for an even more robust accessory. It typically sells for $90, and is now marked down to $80. That’s also $10 off and while not as good of a discount as the lead deal percentage wise, is still the first chance to save. Just be sure to clip the on-page coupon. This cover sports an even more rugged design than the lead deal, employing a new foam technology from Spigen in order to offer some extra coverage against drops.
Save on JBL’s Wind2 Bluetooth speaker with radio and included bike mount
Woot is now offering the JBL Wind 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker and FM Radio for $25. Regularly $80 and currently going for $60 at Amazon, this is the lowest price we find by a long shot. Today’s deal is $5 under our previous mention and marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked. This is a unique model in the popular JBL Bluetooth speaker lineup for a couple reasons. Not only does it have a built-in FM radio transmitter, it also ships with a bicycle handlebar mount and can be used a traditional speaker elsewhere as well. The typical Bluetooth connectivity from your phone is joined by up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge and it even features a small LCD display with radio station details and the like. That carabiner clip you see above is included as well.
