As a shopping editor, I spend a lot of my workday browsing through Amazon Canada's Deals Store. And while there's always a bargain to be had, none are quite like the site's daily selection of top deals.

Take today's headphones deal for an example. For a limited time, Amazon Canada shoppers can save a whopping 50 per cent on a brand new pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Live headphones and take them home for $100 off.

The details

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live allow users to tune out their surroundings and immerse themselves in the music with active noise cancellation (ANC). They're ergonomically designed for comfort and feature a powerful 12pi speaker, pumping out rich sound and exceptional clarity.

The headphones feature built-in Bixby voice assistant for hands-free control and offer up to 21 hours of battery life and six hours of non-stop listening on a single charge.

What people are saying

A trusted pick by audiophiles, the Samsung earbuds have earned an average rating of 4.3 stars based on more than 2,400 reviews.

Given a 4.2-star rating or higher for battery life and sound quality, shoppers say you "won't regret buying" them.

"Wow! Blown away," writes one reviewer, who says that the active noise cancellation is "incredible" at removing "lower sounds," like fans and air conditioning.

According to another shopper, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live are the "most comfortable earbuds" they've ever tried. You can "wear them for ages" because they "cradle in [the] ear comfortably," they write.

They're the "best" open-ear wireless headphones "in the world," raves a third reviewer. They gently rest in your ear "like a pillow," have the audio quality of a "home theatre," and offer the "clearest sound you'll find."

However, despite hundreds of positive reviews, some shoppers say the noise cancellation feature is "disappointing."

The earbuds offer "great sound and fit," but the noise cancellation "isn't very noticeable at all," according to one reviewer.

Another shopper writes that while they were "pleasantly surprised" by the Samsung headphones, the ANC is "mediocre."

The active noise cancellation is "very weak" and "almost unnoticeable," they say.

The verdict

If you're looking to snag a bargain on Samsung headphones, Amazon shoppers are "blown away" by the Galaxy Buds Live, with some reviewers calling them the best open-ear wireless headphones they've found. However, a handful of shoppers say the active noise cancellation feature is "mediocre," something to consider before making your purchase.
