Shipments of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have been delayed to address quality control issues with the wireless earbuds for a while now. Previously set to start shipping from 30 September in Malaysia, it appears the wireless earbuds are finally available for purchase on our shores.

A quick check on Samsung Malaysia’s very own online store shows that the Buds 3 Pro is now ready to be shipped out. On top of that, the complimentary case (worth RM169) has been changed to a Pokemon Pikachu model too; it was previously a Batman case.

To recap, the Buds 3 Pro is priced at RM999 in Malaysia, while the more affordable Buds 3 goes for RM599. Both of them cost RM100 more than their respective predecessors, though these two earbuds do offer more features for the money now.

Given its more premium positioning, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has a number of intriguing features. These include a dual driver design made up of a 10.5mm dynamic driver and a 6.1mm planar tweeter, active noise cancellation (ANC), up to seven hours of use on a single charge – six hours with ANC enabled – and an IP54 rating.

As for the Galaxy Buds 3, it doesn’t come with replaceable ear tips like the Pro model, opting instead for a more classic earphone design. Of course, it still features ANC and an IP54 rating, though it only comes with a single 11mm dynamic driver and slightly shorter battery life of up to six hours; down to five hours with ANC on.

Of course, Galaxy AI is featured on both wireless earbuds, with the Interpreter feature taking centre stage. Setting the Interpreter app to Listening mode allows the earbuds to do real-time translation, which is quite neat.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, along with the Galaxy Buds 3, are now available for purchase in Malaysia. As mentioned, a free Pokemon Pikachu case worth RM169 is also bundled with both earbuds right now.
