Charlie XCX is a fan of these Samsung earbuds: Here's how to get them for half price
Charlie XCX proving her love for Samsung Galaxy earbuds in a '10 things she can't live without' video for British GQ lives in my mind rent-free.
It even convinced me to try a pair out for myself, and spoiler alert, the noise-cancelling really is terrific.
Now you can test out a pair for yourself at half price.
That's right, you can score the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE Wireless Earbuds for just $99.99, down from $199.
And after testing my own pair of Samsung earbuds out for a few years, I can confidently say: Charlie was onto something.
These aren't just any wireless earbuds. They're smart, sleek and genuinely good at blocking out the world when you're trying to zone in.
Whether I'm powering through emails at a cafe or trying to get in the zone for a walk without being distracted by traffic, the Active Noise Cancelling feature works wonders.
Want to stay aware of your surroundings? Flick to ambient mode and you'll hear enough of the outside world without needing to pull the buds out. It's like having your own personal sound bubble.
Big sound, small buds
Bass is punchy, vocals are crisp, and the overall sound is clean and full-bodied.
Great for everything from podcasts to pop playlists. You also get three microphones, main, sub and inner, that team up to make your voice crystal clear during calls.
They also fit like a dream, with various tips included to suit your ears. I have sensitive ears and usually can't wear buds for more than an hour, but these?
I wore them on a two-hour flight and barely noticed them. They're lightweight, secure and don't budge, even during a sweaty power walk.
Sync your tech like a pro
The real flex, though, is how seamlessly these buds play with the rest of the Galaxy ecosystem.
They sync easily with your Galaxy smartphone, tablet, watch and even your compatible Samsung TV.
And with Auto Switch, your audio moves with you, like if you're watching Netflix on your tablet, then get a call on your phone, the buds switch over automatically.
Under $100, what are you waiting for?
These are premium wireless earbuds disguised as a budget-friendly buy.
At full price, they're already solid value, but at $99.99, they're a steal.
Whether you're commuting, working out, on Zoom calls or just want to lose yourself in an album, Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are an easy recommendation.

The top 5 looks from the Tony Awards: Snook and Clooney win
Amal Clooney in Tamara Ralph With Snook championing a British designer, Australian creativity made an unexpected appearance at the Tony Awards on the slender frame of Amal Clooney. With husband George Clooney nominated for his performance in the play Good Night, and Good Luck (not his divisive hair dye for the role), barrister Amal wore a pearl-encrusted, fitted design by Australian designer Tamara Ralph. The former creative director of Ralph & Russo, worn by Meghan Markle, has found greater fame under her own name dressing Angelina Jolie and Blake Lively since parting ways with former partner Michael Russo. Sadie Sink in Prada Sensuous 1930s glamour was on many stars' mood boards this season, but few managed to embody the decade's silky grace as effectively as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in Prada. The plunging neckline and embellished bow detail playfully combined maturity with hints of mischief. Cole Escola in Wiederhoeft Audiences of Escola's hit play Oh Mary!, focusing on the imagined cabaret aspirations of Mary Todd Lincoln, are familiar with the playwright and performer's unique humour. That humour was present in the best actor award winner's red carpet tribute to Broadway legend Bernadette Peters. Loading Escola's gown from Wiederhoeft was a tribute to the outfit Peters wore to collect her Tony for Annie Get Your Gun at the 1999 ceremony, although the update dispensed with medals across the bodice. 'We found ourselves inspired by additional themes of faded crypticism, false innocence, fightfulness, womanly age-hold historically feminine garments, queenly status and ancient doors,' Jackson Wiederhoeft says. While the dress was a nod to Peters, the hairy chest was all Escola.

The Project's stars leave Ten as program is axed, replacement announced
It has won 11 TV Week Logie Awards, including viewer-voted gold Logies for host Aly and former presenter Carrie Bickmore, as well as a Walkley Award for Macdonald and a Yooralla Media Award of Distinction. But the series has not been immune to the broader challenges facing Australia's free-to-air networks, including competition from streaming services such as Netflix, a 24-hour news cycle fuelled by social media, and the fragmentation of free-to-air audiences across a growing array of multi-channels. Last week, The Project attracted between 238,000 and 357,000 viewers nationally – numbers that one senior industry figure, who was not authorised to speak publicly, described as unsustainable. 'The Project has delivered enormous value to 10 over the years,' the television veteran said. 'It was very 'on brand' for the network, it punched above its weight with younger demographics, and it was a terrific vehicle for cross-promoting Ten's other shows. But one of the most important jobs of early evening programming is to deliver decent lead-in audiences to the next show. If there aren't enough viewers in the early evening, it makes it that much harder for those 7.30pm programs to succeed.' Like all Australian networks, Ten faces intense competition for advertising dollars from tech giants such as Meta and Google. 'The less revenue you have, the smaller your budgets become, which makes it difficult to keep doing what you've always done,' said one TV executive. 'Every show has a natural life cycle, though, and now is the right time for Ten to try something new. They've thrown everything they had at The Project, but we're living in a very different world compared to 2009 [when it debuted].' Aly told this masthead that The Project 'kicked down the door of how news could be done'. Loading 'In some ways it looks more conventional now than it used to because it led the way,' he said. 'It showed you could bring dry stories to life for an audience that might otherwise have ignored them. I've spoken to so many people who said it was the way they could do news as a family, the way they could engage their kids and get them thinking. And by and large, it took its audience to a more compassionate place. That's a pretty mighty contribution.' The Project's executive producer, Chris Bendall, said the show had given a voice to the disenfranchised and championed important stories and causes, including protecting Australian wildlife, helping farmers rebuild after floods and fires, fighting to end violence against women, and providing more than $3.5 million to families burdened by extreme medical hardship. 'Campaigns on marriage equality, a nationwide ban on single-use plastic bags, and returning a fair price to dairy farmers from supermarkets are just a few of the issues we have put on the national agenda,' Bendall said. ' The Project has always been a show that's unafraid to tackle the serious issues, but one that's never taken itself too seriously.' Among The Project's high-profile former hosts are Bickmore, Dave Hughes, Peter Helliar, Tommy Little and Lisa Wilkinson. Harris told this masthead that when she started working in television, she was about the same age as The Project is now. 'There aren't many jobs where you get to tell very human stories, and interview politicians and celebrities all while having a laugh – or ugly crying – in front of a live studio audience every night,' Harris said. 'I've had a blast [but] it's time for me to take a breath and spend some time with my boys,' she added, while joking, 'keep an eye out for my OnlyFans page!' Roving Enterprises creative director Craig Campbell, who created The Project, noted the series had hosted 'countless Australian actors and musicians', helping showcase the local entertainment industry. McGarvey, Bendall, Aly, Harris and Campbell each thanked the hundreds of staff who have worked on the show over the years. McGarvey praised Bendall for being 'unafraid to push hard discussions important to the nation and to everyday Australians', while commending Harris' 'warmth and wit … and dogged commitment to do justice to every story'. She described Aly as committed and compassionate, bringing 'weight and depth as a co-host and always providing intellectual rigour and eloquence … several of Waleed's groundbreaking interviews and commentaries on complex issues have changed the way many Australians understand the world around them'. McGarvey said that Campbell 'ensured that The Project supported and created public debate, educated and entertained and helped lead many important conversations which encouraged profound and necessary change'.
