If you haven’t heard of the Samsung Galaxy Muse, don’t worry, you’re not alone. It’s a music companion device designed to work with Galaxy smartphones such as the Galaxy S III and Note II. Basically, it’s an MP3 player. What in the world would anyone want with an MP3 player these days? Well, some people prefer not to jog, bike, exercise, etc. with their $600+ device and would much rather carry around a small companion device such as the Muse that costs much less.

With the Galaxy Muse and the Muse Sync app, users can transfer music directly from their Galaxy smartphone to the Muse, without needing to involve a computer.

The Muse is lightweight and comes with a built-in clip for easy attachment. It features 4GB of storage, three mode switches and an LED indicator to keep you visually informed of battery level and device status.

You might be hesitant to purchase such a device if it was… say, $49.99. But what if it was $24.99? Well, if you head over to the Samsung page and use coupon code “rE156940u” you’ll score 50% off the $49.99 retail price, making this smartphone accessory a mere $24.99.

Now, the Muse isn’t compatible with all devices. The Samsung site lists the Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II, and Galaxy S II Skyrocket. If you hear of any other devices working with the Muse, don’t hesitate to throw them in the comments.

I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather workout with this little guy attached to me than the ginormous Galaxy Note II.
