Apple couldn't keep its new Beats Studio Buds under wraps last month, and now Samsung is having the same problem with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Buds two. Over the weekend, the cost of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 leaked, pointing to a price range of EUR4 and EUR2 (around €XNUMX / €XNUMX / AU$XNUMX), and Now well known leaker Evan Blass has released XNUMX degree GIFs of the shoots. On twitter. When they launch later this year, probably around the Samsung Unpacked event in August, you'll be able to pick up the Buds XNUMX in XNUMX colors: black, white, purple, and green. The interior of the case will match your chosen color, but no matter which shade you choose, the exterior will always be solid white. In terms of new design quirks, the Galaxy Buds XNUMX seem to have two sets of microphones on the outside and a proximity sensor on the inside for auto play/pause. The external microphones indicate that the upcoming headphones will offer true active noise cancellation instead of the active noise reduction found in the original Samsung Galaxy Buds; however, we cannot confirm that this is the case solely depending on the preceding GIF.
Are they opponents of Samsung's AirPods Pro?
At the moment, Samsung's Galaxy Buds XNUMX look like real contenders to the AirPods Pro, especially if they offer active noise cancellation. Cost is what Apple charges for its true wireless earbuds, and they're a bit more…um, standard-looking than the bean-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live that dropped last year. Where Apple may still have an advantage over Samsung is in the use of Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, something we haven't seen on Samsung's Galaxy Buds yet. Samsung has generally battled Apple over sound quality through the use of its Samsung Scalable Codec, which offers a higher bitrate over Bluetooth than the standard SBC codec, but that might not be enough now that Apple and Sony have entered the industry. It's also unclear what's going to happen to other Samsung earbuds when the Samsung Galaxy Buds XNUMX launch. Now, it looks like they're going to be top of the line over the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds Live, Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, and the original Galaxy Buds, but that's a lot of actual earphones. Wireless to have under one roof. Naturally, we'll find out all the details about the outbreaks at the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event taking place on August XNUMX at XNUMXam ET / XNUMXam PT / XNUMXpm GMT.
