Samsung just announced the new Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro along with some other goodies during its latest Unpacked event. If you’re an audio fan, and you’re into Samsung’s ecosystem of devices, then you’ll want to put in your order for some of these earbuds. Here’s how to pre-order the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
Firstly, what do these earbuds have to bring?
It’s been a little while since Samsung announced a new pair of earbuds. It has two series, which are the base Buds and the Buds Pro. The company announced new iterations of both today, and they bring a new…. if familiar design. Let’s not mince words, they have some design traits we see with the Apple AirPods.
Regardless, they do stand out with the angled bottoms of the stems. This gives them a bit of an edgier design. Also, there’s an LED strip that runs up the stem. They add to the overall aesthetic.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are for the true audio lovers, as it comes with Samsung two-way speakers, and dual amplifiers. They have separate controls for the woofer and the tweeter. Also, these earbuds come with a new high-quality codec that can stream audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz, which is double the sample rate of the previous Galaxy Buds Pro.
How to pre-order the Galaxy Buds 3
Whether you’re planning on ordering the Galaxy Buds 3 or the Pro, the process is the same. Firstly, it’s important to know the prices. The Galaxy Buds 3 cost $179.99, and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro cost $249.99. However, if you order through the pre-order period, then you can get them at a discount (the Buds 3 will cost $129.99 and the Pro will cost $199.99). Go to the pre-order links below.

Customization
When on the page, the first thing you want to do is make sure that you selected the right model you want. It’s easy to click on the wrong link by mistake. You can flip through the carousel of points up top. You’ll see some of the stand-out features like the battery life, real-time translation, etc.
The first step to customizing your order will be selecting the color. You have an option between White and Silver. The price will remain the same for both colors.
Trade-in
Next, is the trade-in section. If you have a pair of earbuds to trade in, you can get a discount on your order. The Yes, trade-in option will be selected by default. If you don’t have a trade-in, just click on the No option.
If you do have an old pair of earbuds lying around that you want to trade in, leave it on the first option. Under the options, click on the Brand dropdown. You’ll be able to select Samsung or Other. If you have a pair of Galaxy Buds that you can trade in, then select Samsung.
Depending on the earbuds you trade-in, you’ll get a different discount. For example, if you have a pair of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, you’ll get $100 off of your order. The other eligible models are the Galaxy Buds 2 ($50 off), Galaxy Buds Pro ($50 off), Galaxy Buds Live ($40 off), and Galaxy Buds+ ($40).
If you have a pair from another company, leave it on Other and go to the Select a Device option. You’ll have two options, but they will both net you a $20 discount only.
When you select the model you want to trade in, you’ll want to agree to the trade-in terms. Be sure to read them if you have any questions.
Samsung Care+
The next section will give you the option to add a Samsung Care+ plan. This will offer you mail-in repair and replacement services, 24/7 phone/online support, and genuine parts for repairs.
The plan costs $19 for two years. If you trade in a pair of old headphones for $20, that covers the cost of the plan. This is for the Care+ Essential plan.
Right below that section, you’ll see the Additional plans button. This will expand the standard Samsung Care+ section. The standard plan offers all of the aforementioned perks along with protection against drops, spills, and mechanical breakdown.
Also, if you don’t want a plan, you can click the No Coverage button.
Exclusive offers
Samsung often has exclusive offers available for people ordering from the Samsung website. There’s only one offer, and that’s an extra charging case. It’s a $29.99 value, but you can get it for free.
Payment plans
You can make a one-time payment, but there are also some payment plans that you can use. There’s a monthly plan that will split the price up into 24 payments. It’ll be like getting a two-year contract on them. If you don’t want to pay over the course of two years, you can split the cost into four payments, and pay every two weeks. The latter option can either be done through Klarna or Affirm.
Just know that financing options may require a credit check. If you don’t have the best credit, there’s a chance that it will be rejected.
Finalizing your order
Once you’re all done, it’s time to pledge your money to Samsung. Look over the sub-total and total. Make sure you know how much you’re paying, that you didn’t add any services you didn’t want, and that you didn’t choose a trade-in offer when you don’t have one.
Once you’re sure, click the Pre-order button. When you do that, you’ll be taken to the page where you’ll put in your payment information and address.
The last step is to ENJOY YOUR NEW GALAXY BUDS!
