Buds 3 Confirmed!

Look what I found on Twitter. The poster said it was in the Members app to file an error report for the new Galaxy Watch 6 beta. Hmmmm.

Yeah, nothing confirmed yet but the design has been heavily implied to stray away from the (fantastic) bean design, and turn them into AirPods instead. I will be absolutely devastated if Samsung goes full AirPods! Apparently they will be hard tipped and everything for the normal 3's and the 3 Pro will have detachable ear tips. I'm sure if they do it, it will be because Apple's design is superior for holding larger batteries in the stems vs everything having to fit in a bean shape. Even knowing that, I probably won't be picking them up if the design is AirPods-like. I'd much rather keep the same battery life we get now with the 2 Pro and upgrade drivers and ANC. I think a ton of people are going to bail out of Samsung's earbuds if they make this design change. Idk, that's just my opinion. I love my 2 Pro's and love the shape and comfortability after adding Comply foam tips, so I feel no rush to upgrade my buds anyway.

Edit:
Maybe both the 3 and 3 pro's will have soft ear tips, that's a bit better. They don't look too bad in this render pic but they are still carbon copies of the AirPods Pro's. These are going to ignite so much hate from the Apple guys, it's only copying when Samsung does it, when others copy Samsung, its innovation! 😂

I personally enjoy the FE's since they have the wing tips and are essentially an upgraded (no wireless charging tho) of the original Galaxy buds

This sucks. They gave up 6+ years of design legacy to chase after apples dumb earstraw design.

I hate this design if they wanted users to go for airpods they should've said so.

If it gives me better call quality because the microphone is closer to my mouth, if it helps with accidental touches because I have to adjust my buds, I don't care!

Farewell to the beloved bean design. We are going full AirPods mode I guess. Kinda hoping the buds 3 pro are not a big upgrade from the buds 2 Pro. I really don't dig the stem aesthetic, nothing to do with Apple, I just really enjoy the completely hidden look I get with the current Buds 2 Pro. I know the battery life has to be insane on these and in return opens up the pod for bigger/more drivers, so I'm sure the 3 pro's will absolutely smack the 2 Pro's.

Wow SMH 👌🏾 why would they wanna copy apple :red_apple: 😒 😑 I definitely do not feel that design 😒

Unbelievably disappointing that they're ditching the bean and bud designs for generic iphone ear straws. Terrible.

I mean, technically, the AirPods have a superior form factor over the bean. This is because with wireless earbuds, the more room/internal real estate the buds have the better they can be. Bigger drivers can be had, bigger batteries, larger PCB's with more powerful chips etc...So Samsung is hopefully going to make a killer set of buds from these. If they end up being incremental over the 2 Pro then I'm calling horse doo and saying Samsung is copying Apple. However if they do take advantage of the increase of internal volume and actually give us a physical reason why they went this route, I will accept it and just live with the fact I look like I'm wearing a pair of knockoff AirPods Pro's. It all comes down to what Samsung puts inside of these Buds. I don't care for the light strip on each bud, again I am in love with the invisible aesthetic of the buds that are bean style and buds 2 Pro are all around my favorite earbud ever. I guess we'll wait and see. Apparently someone was able to walk into Walmart and literally buy Buds 3 pro's today ... He posted a Reddit thread with proof and everything. He said they were $250 plus tax they were brushed aluminum and he says they are about equivalent to the AirPods Pro gen 1 in terms of ANC and sound quality was also very good. It sounded unimpressive tbh. I think the Galaxy buds 2 Pro with comply foam tips already beat AirPods Pro Gen 1 with ANC so I'm really hoping this guy got scammed and or was trolling but he did have pictures and showed the linking process to his z flip 3 showing Galaxy wearables app recognizing them as buds 3 Pro. That can be faked but definitely would take a lot of effort.
