Google's budget-friendly Pixel Buds A-Series are simply too cheap to look away right now

It didn't take a rocket scientist (or a seasoned tech industry pundit) to anticipate that Google's already affordable Pixel Buds A-Series wouldn't get very substantial Black Friday or Cyber Monday 2021 discounts, but if you resisted the urge to buy any of the other decent true wireless earbuds that were on sale at special prices this past week or so, today might be the perfect time to pull the trigger.

As long as you don't mind going the Best Buy Geek Squad certified refurbished route, you'll definitely have trouble finding a better option at a comparable price this holiday season. Normally sold for $99.99 a pair in brand-new condition, the Pixel Buds A-Series are available right now starting at a measly $59.99.

The $40 refurb markdown is only good for a white paint job, with the "olive" flavor fetching $71.99, which still beats the same retailer's previous deal from just a couple of weeks ago.

Technically, the vastly improved promotion doesn't come with an expiration date explicitly listed, but something tells us Best Buy won't have enough inventory on hand to satisfy your demand for a very long period of time.

Otherwise put, you should probably hurry and commit to arguably some of the best wireless earbuds available for under $100 today. Unlike the similarly discounted but slightly costlier Beats Studio Buds, the Pixel Buds A-Series come without state-of-the-art active noise cancellation technology, nonetheless offering premium sound quality (especially by sub-$100 standards), as well as solid battery life, IPX4 water resistance, flawless connectivity (at least on paper), and decent noise reduction capabilities.

Keep in mind that the original true wireless Pixel Buds have technically been discontinued, setting you back at least $119.99 at Best Buy in refurbished condition at the time of this writing without actually delivering a lot more bang than their budget-friendly "cousins." So, yeah, if you're a hardcore Google fan, this deal is simply too good to miss.
