Well, that was unexpected. Just weeks before their big July 9th Unpacked event, Samsung has quietly launched its new pair of budget-friendly earbuds: the Galaxy Buds Core. It seems the company wanted to get these affordable audio companions into users’ hands sooner rather than later. They offer a compelling option for those seeking a great earbud experience without breaking the bank.
The official unveiling confirms what some earlier leaks had suggested: the Galaxy Buds Core are all about delivering essential features at a competitive price. Let’s dive into what these new earbuds bring to the table.
Galaxy Buds Core launched: key specs and features
One of the most notable inclusions for a pair of earbuds in this price range is Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). That’s right, you can expect a decent level of noise reduction to help you focus on your music, podcasts, or calls, even in bustling environments. The fact that Samsung has decided to keep this feature in its cheapest earbuds is great news.
When it comes to staying powered up, the Galaxy Buds Core offer a respectable battery life. Including the charging case capacity, the earbuds boast up to 35 hours of audio playback without ANC. Enabling ANC will reduce that figure to around 20 hours, which is still quite respectable. It should be more than enough to get you through a busy day, and then some.
Samsung’s HQ codec support, IP54 rating
The affordable pair of earbuds even boast compatibility with Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC). This enables them to receive high-quality wireless audio from Samsung devices. They also support AAC and SBC for devices from other brands. Plus, like the more expensive Galaxy Buds 3, they have integration with the Galaxy AI features, allowing you to trigger them using touch controls.
Durability-wise, the Galaxy Buds Core come with an IP54 rating for dust and water splash resistance. This means they can handle a bit of sweat or a light drizzle without worry, making them suitable for workouts. They connect via Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring a stable and reliable connection to your smartphone or other devices. For charging the case, you’ll find a convenient USB-C port.
Pricing and availability
Now, for the all-important price tag. Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds Core first in India for ₹4,999 (about $58). This puts them in a sweet spot in the budget earbud market, offering a compelling combination of features, including ANC, at a price that won’t break the bank. Hopefully, the price won’t increase too much when it reaches markets like the US and Europe.
