The Galaxy Buds 3 series arrived about a month ago as Samsung’s latest TWS earbuds. However, buyers of the “Pro” model were disappointed due to quality control issues, which forced the company to halt sales and suspend shipments temporarily. Now, it seems that everything is resolved, as Samsung is resuming the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro shipping.
For a few hours now, some Redditors have been reporting the reception of their new premium earbuds. The company is moving ahead of the estimated shipping date indicated on its website. Following the quality control issues, the Samsung Store began showing that buyers would receive the earbuds on August 28. However, thankfully, the wait was much shorter.
Samsung resumes Galaxy Buds 3 Pro shipping after quality control issues
According to reports, the first batch of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro was plagued with quality control issues. Users mentioned that the tips were very fragile, tearing off easily when trying to remove them. Uneven gaps and even misaligned LED lights were also present. After multiple complaints, Samsung acknowledged the issues and offered a refund to those who pre-ordered the earbuds.
Interestingly, the Samsung Store still shows August 28 as the estimated date to receive the earbuds. The white variant has an even further date (September 20). However, given what we’ve seen, it’s possible that the shipment of your Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will be earlier. Keep in mind that it is not certain since there is no official word on the matter yet.
The Galaxy Buds 3 series brought the biggest redesign in the history of Samsung’s TWS earbuds. For this, the company hired Hubert Lee, former Mercedes-Benz China’s chief design officer. Still, a report claims that Samsung’s chief was unhappy due to a potential inspiration from Apple’s AirPods Pro lineup. Quality control issues also contributed to the tense situation. On the bright side, the earbuds boast a high level of repairability.
