  • Samsung Galaxy Buds Live leaked, to launch on August 5

  • The buds will cost around $150 and compete with AirPods Pro

  • The Buds come in Black, White, and Mystic Bronze

Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy Buds, “Galaxy Buds Live,” were first tipped in April 2020, with a supposed launch in July. Now it seems that they will launch alongside the ultra-hyped Galaxy Note 20 on August 5, 2020.

These seem to have a rather interesting exterior shape. Their “bean-like” design has raised the eyebrows of many Twitter users, with famous leaker Max Winebach sarcastically tweeting, “BEANS BEANS BEANS”.

Where do these fit in the line-up?

The Galaxy Buds+ are said to be AirPods competitors and the new Galaxy “EarBeans” would be AirPods Pro competitors. Some early leaks indicate a price as low as $150. This would seem hard as the Galaxy Buds are around the same price but if they do manage to undercut the AirPods Pro by $100, it would be a steal!

The Galaxy Buds Live are supposed to come in three flavors - Black, White, and “Mystic Bronze”. Samsung has always maintained a liking for multiple colors, in stark contrast to Apple’s approach to AirPods, which despite many rumors lack any color except White.

Conclusion: 

This has been a disappointing year for Samsung. Their flagship Galaxy S20 reported disappointingly poor sales. Now, with their “UNPACKED” event scheduled for August 5, Samsung has managed to raise a lot of hopes with their upcoming Flip 5G and beautiful new Note 20.

The EarBeans would be a great addition to their TWS (True Wireless Stereo) line-up. The Galaxy Buds have failed to achieve the jaw-dropping success of the AirPods. Samsung can only hope these new “EarBeans” can achieve better success and not become be the butt of a joke for their unique shape.
