From AKG USB-C earbuds to affordable JBL wireless headphones, here are Samsung-backed audio picks that won’t strain your wallet.
Great Sound on a Budget? Yes, You Can with the Galaxy A35
Whether you grabbed your Galaxy A35 on launch or snagged it on sale, it’s a solid device for the price. But now you’re ready to elevate your audio game without emptying your wallet—and preferably without venturing too far from Samsung’s ecosystem.
Good news: you have plenty of affordable options, including some that may surprise you.
Cheapest Option: AKG USB-C Earbuds (Wired)
Let’s start with the most wallet-friendly choice: the AKG-branded USB-C Samsung earbuds.
- These offer surprisingly decent sound quality for the price.
- Plug-and-play via the Galaxy A35’s USB-C port (no 3.5mm jack needed).
- Retail for as low as $20 in some regions like India.
If you’re okay with wired audio and can find them in your market, these are hard to beat for value.
Budget-Friendly Galaxy Buds Options
If you’re going wireless, the Galaxy Buds lineup is the obvious place to start. Samsung offers several choices depending on how much you’re willing to spend:
- Galaxy Buds FE: A solid entry-level pick with good sound and comfort.
- Galaxy Buds 3 FE (newer model): Expected to improve on the FE formula with updated design and better mic performance.
- Galaxy Buds 3 / Buds 3 Pro: Watch for deep discounts, especially during holiday or seasonal sales.
All of these options pair seamlessly with your Galaxy A35 and benefit from Galaxy AI features, fast pairing, and Samsung-exclusive integration.
