Samsung Buds 3 R530
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 (Model SM-R530) is the standard, “open-type” flagship earbud in Samsung’s current lineup for early 2026.
Unlike the Pro version, these do not have silicone ear tips, making them ideal for people who find “in-ear” buds uncomfortable
or who prefer to stay aware of their surroundings.
As of 2026, the Buds3 have become a popular mid-range choice in South Africa due to their integration with Galaxy AI.
