Early Black Friday deals keep coming in hard and fast, with one of the latest dropping Samsung’s flagship earbuds to a new low. The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro in all three colors are selling for $154 ($75 off) at Wellbots.
The noise-canceling earbuds offer some fancy extras when paired with a Galaxy phone, like spatial audio head tracking and auto device switching among Samsung gadgets. But even if you don’t have a phone made by Samsung, the Bluetooth buds offer a fairly light and comfy fit with 24-bit audio and IPX7 water and sweat resistance. It’s kind of wild that you can get all of this right now for just $54 more than the new entry-level Galaxy Buds FE that just came out.

Samsung’s excellent-sounding Galaxy Buds 2 Pro introduce support for 24-bit audio and have a lighter, smaller, more comfortable in-ear fit than the first Buds Pros.
Google has kicked off its early Black Friday deals and — surprise, surprise — the latest Pixel phones are getting some steep discounts. You can get the flagship Google Pixel 8 Pro for $799 (a whopping $200 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and direct from . It seems par for the course that the premium Pixel is on sale, and at this much better price, you’re getting a phone with a large 6.7-inch display that supports up to 120Hz refresh, the latest Tensor chip, 12GB of RAM, and a triple-camera setup with some AI software tricks that are likely to either delight or dismay you.
While the Pixel 8 Pro is not the biggest jump forward from last year’s 7 Pro, many of its camera features (for now, at least) are exclusive to this flagship phone. Plus, this year’s Pixel 8 generation is promised to get seven years of OS updates (fingers crossed, I guess).
The Pixel 8 Pro includes what Google says is its best Pixel camera yet. It also features a built-in thermometer and Google’s third-gen Tensor G3 chip. It’s available for preorder with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage.
Thirsty Thursdeals:
- Dell is offering the PlayStation VR2 bundle with Horizon Call of the Mountain for $499.99 ($100 off). The PSVR 2 doesn’t get any cheaper than this when paired with one of its hallmark virtual reality gaming experiences, so if you have a PlayStation 5 and want to get the best VR that Sony has to offer, you can’t do much better than this deal.

- Apple’s discontinued MagSafe Duo two-in-one charger is on sale at Woot for $79.99 ($50 off). The magnetic charger for compatible iPhones and Apple Watches is far from our favorite two-in-one solution, but if you need something compact and travel-ready, it makes some sense at this price.
- If you don’t mind being a few generations behind on wearable tech, you can get a new, fully warrantied Apple Watch Series 6 in blue or red for $199.99 ($200 off its original price). It may be three years old, but as someone who still wears a Series 6, I’m here to tell you, it’s totally fine in 2023. It may not have as large a screen as newer models and lack features like Crash Detection, but for most intents and purposes — it’s an Apple Watch. Read our review from 2020.
- The Chromecast with Google TV (4K) is $37.99 ($12 off) at Best Buy, Amazon, and Target. That’s a whole $2 cheaper than the usual deal price on Google’s handy streaming device, which is 4K-capable with HDR support, has a great remote, and has one of the best tailor-made interfaces that surfaces content for you to stream based on what you like.
