Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 leak shows AirPods-like design

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds are rumored to resemble AirPods, and new leaked renders make the comparison clearer than ever. The renderings, supposedly found at Korean retailer Coupangshow that Samsung may be ditching its bulb-shaped buds in favor of wireless earbuds with AirPods-like stems, AirPods-like vents, and even an AirPods-like case.

I made an image slider so you can compare one of the renders to a photo of Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro. The big difference with Samsung’s new buds is the metallic silver color and some more angular features.

If this is indeed the new look for Samsung’s earbuds – Samsung is apparently working on both standard and Pro versions of the Galaxy Buds 3, both with stems – it would mark a major departure from the company’s previous design language like the Galaxy Buds. 2 Pro and Galaxy Buds FE were much rounder and didn’t have stems.

We don’t know when these new headphones will be announced, but the company typically hosts summer Unpacked events, so perhaps they’ll be revealed there.
