Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro were also officially launched today. It is Samsung's new generation TWS that is not only complete with Galaxy AI but also comes with a new design. After years of using more or less the same design, this year each Buds3 comes with an AirPods Pro-like stem.

Samsung also brings some unique features exclusive to the Galaxy Buds3 only. Among them is the Interpreter that uses Galaxy AI for real-time translation. Features such as Adaptive EQ, Adaptice ANC, Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Voice Detect are also provided for better use and not complacent. Samsung also introduced a new proprietary codec called SSC Ultra High Quality for higher resolution audio format support.

Each Galaxy Buds3 also includes Super-Wideband support for clearer and better quality phone calls. As before, users can still call Bixby with the Voice Command feature for various controls.
Galaxy Buds3 Pro
This TWS uses dual 10.5mm dynamic + 6.1mm planar audio drivers, has 3x microphones, supports SSC UHQ audio and 24bit Hi-Fi (only on Galaxy S24, S23, Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 ) and also 360 degree spatial audio. The Bluetooth 5.4 system on the Buds3 Pro supports Auto Switch to switch between devices, has a Voice Pickup Unit sensor and also IP57 protection.
The Buds3 Pro battery can last up to 22 hours with USB-C charging support or wirelessly. Exclusive to the Pro model, a Blade Light LED strip is integrated on each earbud to indicate tethering status as well as search via SmartThings. The black strip on the stem of the Buds3 Pro can also be used as a touch pad for gesture control.
Galaxy Buds3
This TWS is a more affordable version, but still in the flagship class. It has only one audio driver which is 11mm dynamic type. Other specifications such as Bluetooth 5.4, Auto Switch, SSC UHQ audio and more are the same as the Pro. Even the size and design are the same. The other main difference apart from the audio driver is the battery which only lasts up to 20 hours and the absence of Blade Light on each earphone.
