In addition to all those phones and tablets that Samsung announced today, the company also revealed two new wearable devices. And they’re coming to T-Mobile, too.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live is a new pair of truly wireless earbuds. They feature a bean-shaped design that Samsung says don’t protrude from your ears, giving you a more natural look, and they have a tip-less design that the company also says helps to make them more comfortable to wear all day.
These Galaxy Buds Live include a 12mm speaker and bass duct plus three microphones. Active Noise Cancellation will help you hear what you’re listening to by blocking outside noise, and a Voice Pickup Unit will focus on your voice to make sure you’re heard clearly on calls and when using the Bixby voice assistant to do things like control music playback and send messages.
Samsung says the Galaxy Buds Live can last for up to six hours of music playback on a single charge, while the included charging case can get you another 15 hours of playback. A fast charging feature will get you one hour of play time in 5 minutes of charging for those time’s you’re low on both battery life and time.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds will be available from T-Mobile and Sprint stores on August 21. Pricing for them is set at $169.99.
And then there’s the Galaxy Watch 3. This is the follow-up to 2018’s Galaxy Watch, featuring the same rotating bezel design but with a stainless steel case that’s 14% thinner, 8% smaller, and 15% lighter.
