Samsung Galaxy Buds3 retail box leaks, new stem style design is confirmed
Samsung"s Galaxy Buds line started out in 2019, as the company recently reminded us ahead of its Unpacked event on July 10 where it"s expected to unveil the Galaxy Buds3. And in these five years, no model has ever employed a stem design.
That is set to change next week, however, for the Galaxy Buds3 are in fact the first Galaxy Buds with stems. This information was leaked before, and today an image of their retail box confirms the move.
Obviously, a lot of people will complain about how Samsung is "copying Apple" here, but there are probably hundreds of other companies that have released stem-style true wireless earbuds in the past few years. Samsung is just the latest one to adopt this design, and maybe it"s for the better?
Aside from the Galaxy Buds+ launched in 2020 (which don"t even have ANC), all of Samsung"s earbuds have had pretty middling mic performance, to put it nicely. So we"re hoping that switching to stems, through the fact that this design brings the mics closer to your mouth, may finally result in a new pair of Galaxy Buds with stellar mic performance.
The Buds3 are expected to have ANC of course, and while Apple did "invent" the stem-style earbud, the stems of Samsung"s upcoming buds feature a very angular design that is quite different (perhaps on purpose) from Apple"s.
