Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event is just a day away, and leaks have expectedly picked up intensity over the past couple of weeks. Among the many devices that Samsung will debut at its hardware launch event, the Galaxy Buds 3 and the Buds 3 Pro appear to have made it to the leaks more than some of its other products. Last week, a Reddit user managed to get their hands on the Buds 3 Pro, detailing some of its features, such as the LED strips (Blade Lights), as well as an appealing metallic gray charging case. Now, the cheaper Galaxy Buds 3 has made an appearance online in a semi-unboxing video.

UAE-based X user OnlyTechAE has reportedly obtained a retail version of the Galaxy Buds 3 and has the videos and images to show for it. While it’s been dubbed as an unboxing of the new earbuds, it doesn’t fully reveal what’s inside the packaging. However, the user ensures that we get a good look at the charging case, also in metallic gray, along with the earbuds themselves.
At first glance, the Galaxy Buds 3 appears to have a shorter stem than the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. But we can’t say this with certainty until the earbuds are officially revealed in just over 24 hours. The eye-catching Blade Lights also appear to be missing from the Galaxy Buds 3, with a subsequent reply by OnlyTechAE highlighting that this feature is exclusive to the Buds 3 Pro.
Can’t tell the Galaxy Buds 3 series apart
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro vs Galaxy Buds 3
Images posted alongside the video reveal the gray and white versions side-by-side, along with their corresponding charging cases. There’s hardly anything to distinguish between the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and the Buds 3 in terms of the charging case’s appearance (pictured above), with both being available in white and gray colors while also offering a transparent top cover/hood. The latter is a nice touch and definitely helps differentiate the Galaxy Buds 3 series from the Apple AirPods.
In addition to leaks detailing Samsung’s next-gen earbuds in the flesh, reports have suggested that the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 could cost close to $300 when it debuts this month, though other reports have talked about a $250 price tag for this version, which seems more reasonable. While there’s no official info on the Galaxy Buds 3’s price, recent leaks indicate these earbuds will enter the market in the $150 to $200 range.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro
$145 $230 Save $85
The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are Samsung’s smallest, lightest, and best wireless earbuds yet. They improve on the Galaxy Buds Pro in every way, with better sound quality, more fulsome active noise cancellation, and support for 24-bit audio. They’re also IPX7 water and dust resistant.
At $230, they’re among the more pricey true wireless earbuds you can buy, and are made to work best with Samsung devices, but if you’re a Galaxy user and can spring for the additional cash over the Galaxy Buds 2, these are a great option.
