Samsung is quietly removing the Galaxy Buds 3 from its USA online store just before Galaxy Unpacked 2026. Unlike a usual sold-out product, the Buds 3 page now redirects to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, suggesting Samsung may not bring the standard model back. This move seems timed to make room for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 lineup.

The regular Galaxy Buds 3 are known for their tipless, open design. Without silicone eartips, they didn’t seal the ear canal, which made fit and sound quality inconsistent. Noise isolation was limited, and the bass could feel weak for some users.

When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, sales of the Galaxy Buds 3 declined. The FE model was cheaper, and even though it skipped some features like wireless charging and higher water resistance, many users felt it sounded better than the standard Buds 3.

Currently, the Buds 3 Pro and Buds 3 FE remain available in the USA, while the standard Buds 3 appear to be a short-lived experiment. Removing the product now clears space for the new generation.

For Samsung earbud fans, this likely marks the end of the regular Buds 3 as attention shifts to the Galaxy Buds 4, expected to launch at Unpacked 2026. The move shows Samsung is enhancing its earbuds lineup, keeping models that deliver the best performance and quietly retiring ones that didn’t connect as well with users.
