Samsung recently revealed the name its next truly wireless earbud will be called when it filed a patent for the Galaxy Buds moniker. The Galaxy Buds is likely the successor to the gear IconX (2018) earbuds which were launched last year. The new wearable device has now been certified by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This is coming on the heels of the Bluetooth SIG certification the device received recently.
The FCC certification comes with the model number SM-R170 and is listed as “Samsung Bluetooth Headset.” This is the same device that was certified by Bluetooth SIG last week. The certification document shows Samsung will manufacture the earphones in its factory in Vietnam.
