The Soundpeats T3 buds have two things going for them, aside from their modest price tag: They sound decent and work well for making calls, with very good noise reduction. They're also comfortable to wear and have both active noise canceling and a transparency mode. The noise canceling is only OK, not great (same goes for the transparency mode), but you can't expect everything for $27. That's what the T3 buds cost right now, after you check the 10% instant coupon on Amazon and apply the code HYD3HE7L at checkout. That combo gets you $9, or 25%, off their list price of $36. The code should be valid through Feb. 15.
Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, they're IPX4 splash-proof and have a battery-life rating of up to 5.5 hours on a single charge at moderate volume levels.
