Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy Buds 3 series along with other new products, including the sixth generation of Galaxy foldables, at its Galaxy Unpacked event set for July 10. Prior to the event, images of the new Galaxy Buds 3 series earphones have surfaced online. The question remains whether the transition from the bean-shaped design to one with a stem is merely for a refreshed look or if it impacts the audio quality.
Enhanced Audio Experience
Tipster Ice Universe suggests that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will bring notable enhancements to the listening experience in addition to the new design. He indicates that the TWS earphones will support 24-bit 96Hz audio, a potential boon for audiophiles. For those who may not know, these numbers indicate that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will deliver higher-quality audio.
Superior Audio Quality
To provide some context, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro supports 24-bit 48KHz audio transmission. In comparison, the Buds 3 Pro should enable Samsung devices to transmit near-lossless audio, enhancing the listening experience in specific situations. However, it is crucial to note that this codec will likely be exclusive to Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro introduced the SSC Hi-Fi audio codec, and it remains to be seen whether Samsung will rename this codec for the new model or keep it the same.
Unique Design and Features
Regarding the design, the Pro model features a unique triangular stem with an LED strip, distinguishing it from other TWS earphones with stem designs. Additionally, a previous rumor suggests that the Buds 3 Pro might offer a 30-hour battery life and new gesture controls. It is also expected to support Adaptive ANC, Adaptive Equalizer, and Ambient Sound, and will likely utilize Bluetooth 5.4 for audio transmission.
