Samsung’s next true wireless earbuds will be called the Galaxy Buds Pro, according to a new report based on certifications. The new headphones are expected to launch in January 2021 alongside the Galaxy S21 series of smartphones. And the nickname ‘Galaxy Buds Pro’ suggests that this will be the company’s most premium true wireless earbud to date. Like the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live, which was announced in August 2020, the Galaxy Buds Pro is likely to have active noise cancellation as a key feature.
The name ‘Galaxy Buds Pro’ has been reported by MySmartPrice, based on an Indonesian Telecommunications Certification listing. In addition to the name mentioned in the listing, the model number has also been mentioned as SM-R190. Similar listings have also been spotted for China and Korea with the same model number, suggesting that the new true wireless earbuds are really close to launch. This ties in well with previous reports that the new true wireless earbuds will be released alongside the Galaxy S21 series in January 2021.
Originally expected to be called ‘Galaxy Buds Beyond’, the new name seems like a more likely choice based on the certification list. As before, we expect the Galaxy Buds Pro to have an in-channel design similar to the Galaxy Buds +, but to come with active noise cancellation.
Samsung just launched Galaxy Buds Live, which comes with premium features like active noise cancellation and wireless charging. However, the odd shape of the earbuds makes for awkward fit and a weak passive seal. The Korean company is likely to return to a more traditional design with the reported Galaxy Buds Pro, but for now not much more is known or confirmed about Samsung’s new true wireless earbuds.
