While many are happy that the Galaxy Buds3 Pro is back on sale from Samsung, there are those who think it's best for the Korean company to kill off this newly launched product.

How frustrating would it be to order a white model and receive one that’s stained blue and can’t be washed off?
But things don't stop there.
Samsung has apparently acknowledged the issue and is temporarily suspending sales of the Galaxy Buds3 Pro to fix it before resuming sales this week.
The problem is that the company has yet to clarify the root cause of the issue, nor the exact steps it plans to take to avoid similar issues in the future.

That doesn't mean users should boycott the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, of course, but there are more trusted options on the market.

This year, the company is expected to revamp the design of the earbuds, bringing a stem design and ditching the in-ear design on the Galaxy Buds3 series. Similar to the Apple AirPods, the new design has been leaked multiple times, in fact, it has appeared on Samsung's own Members app. One of the leaks said that the earbuds will support pinch and squeeze gestures. Last month, the meaningful retail box of the Galaxy Buds3 even appeared online, highlighting all the details about the upcoming earbuds.
Now, an unboxing video and a few images of the purported Galaxy Buds3 series have surfaced online, courtesy of OnlyTechAE. The video and images posted on X show the Galaxy Buds3 in white and black. It's unclear whether the earbuds were purchased from a retailer.

The images and videos reveal a new charging case designed with a transparent lid - a rather unusual element for Samsung. The charging case has Galaxy Buds3 stem-shaped housings inside that appear to have Blade Lights, with the stems also having an angular design, unlike traditional earbuds that have a more rounded shape.
Previously, a leak said that the Galaxy Buds3 Pro could be sold for $335 (VND 8.52 million) in Europe. However, a redditor named Plastic_Development1, who bought the Galaxy Buds3 Pro and posted pictures and a brief description of the headset, said that the amount he spent was only $250, meaning the standard version will be sold for much less.
Additionally, pre-ordering the Galaxy Z Flip6 or Galaxy Z Fold6 will entitle users to receive free Galaxy Buds3 Pro headphones.
