New earbuds could be incoming
Read through our Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro review and you’ll see we were very impressed by the wireless earbuds. They launched back in August 2022, though, and we’re still waiting for a new pair of Pro buds to come along and replace them.
Samsung hasn’t made anything official yet, but here we’re going to collect all the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro leaks and rumors we’ve heard so far – as well as offer some opinions on the upgrades that Samsung should be thinking about.
If you simply can’t wait any longer, then head to our guide to the best wireless earbuds and see if there’s anything there that appeals. Based on how good the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro were, though, it might well be worth hanging on for their successors.Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: rumored release date
As you’ve read above, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro broke cover in August 2022 – so we were expecting the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at the July 2023 Unpacked event. However, for whatever reason, they didn’t show up.
Considering that the original Galaxy Buds Pro launched in January 2021, perhaps a gap of 18 months between versions is more realistic. That would put the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro launch date somewhere early in 2024.
What’s more, the only real leak we’ve heard so far suggests that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will indeed launch at some point in 2024, though the source doesn’t point to any specific time during those 12 months, so the waiting continues.Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: expected price
So far we haven’t heard anything about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro price, but we can look back at the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: at launch, they would have set you back $229 / £219 / AU$349, so that gives you an idea of the price point we’re talking about.
