Noise-cancelling headphones can be a good investment if you’re often on the go and want to enjoy your favorite tracks, podcasts, or audiobooks with the clarity you’d get in a quiet room. Of course, not every pair offers this incredible level of noise cancellation, but the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE do. These offer two listening modes; one that blocks out all the unnecessary sounds, and one that keeps you aware of your surroundings.
The Black model is now discounted by 25% on Amazon, which drops its usual $150 price to $112. Gray is sitting at $120, which is still a nice $30 discount. There’s just no telling how long these offers will stick around. It’s better to grab your preferred color without paying the full price quickly, while the discounts are still around.

Best of both worlds
The two listening modes are ANC and Transparency. The ANC mode blocks out external sounds (background chatter, traffic noise, announcements), letting you listen to whatever’s playing clearly. All of these won’t mix in with your tracks, so you can focus on a task or just zone out for a bit without getting distracted. Transparency does the opposite, but is just as important. It lets some ambient sounds in, so you can stay aware of what’s happening around. For example, if you’re on a subway and don’t want to miss the announcement of your next station but also prefer not to take the buds off completely, Transparency mode gives you the best of both worlds.
