Meet the latest addition to Bose's QuietComfort lineup.

Our pick: Samsung Galaxy Buds 2

$109.99 at Amazon (save $40)

Why we like them

Not to totally pile on AirPods, but Samsung's newest Galaxy Buds are also way better than Apple's earbuds, Perry said. "Between an attractive egg-like design, excellent noise cancelation, and relatively robust app-based customization (on Android devices)," he wrote, these puppies "largely deliver the goods" at an extremely reasonable price.
