Samsung’s highly anticipated (and hugely expensive) Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are having major manufacturing issues, which seems to have forced Samsung to halt sales and delay shipments around the world.
As exciting as it may have been for many hardcore Samsung fans to see their favorite company pull out all the stops for the fancy new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro last week, we can totally understand if that excitement quickly morphed into disappointment at the extravagant $250 list price of the ultra-high-end earbuds.
On the bright side, that made a lot of early adopters expect a level of audio performance and build quality unmatched by the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, non-Pro Galaxy Buds 3, or even Apple’s AirPods Pro 2. Unfortunately, the commercial reality doesn’t appear to coincide with those pre-release expectations, which is forcing Samsung to delay shipments and halt sales in many parts of the world.
Following major complaints in Korea of some pretty bad quality issues, Amazon seems to have pulled its Galaxy Buds 3 Pro product page altogether stateside, while Best Buy is simply (and confusingly) listing the item as “coming soon” at the time of this writing.
