According to a screenshot shared by tipster Sleep Kuma of a retail listing, the pricing for the Galaxy Buds 3 lineup is expected to remain consistent with previous models.
The leak suggests that the Galaxy Buds 3 will be priced at KRW 203,700 (roughly USD $148), and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will cost KRW 296,700 (approximately USD $215). These prices are similar to the launch prices of the Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
