[Asia Economy Reporter Joesulgina] Reports have emerged that the price range of Samsung Electronics' upcoming new wireless earphones, the 'Galaxy Buds2,' will be set between $149 and $169. This is similar to the price at the launch of the previous model, the Galaxy Buds Plus.

According to IT specialized media 91mobiles and SamMobile on the 29th (local time), the Galaxy Buds2 is expected to be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event in August. Ahead of the release, design, features, and specifications have recently been leaked, and the price has now been additionally revealed. The price range is similar to the previous model, between $149 and $169.

SamMobile stated, "(This price range) means that the Galaxy Buds2 will directly compete with Apple's Beats Studio Buds," adding, "It would be reasonable to either sell the Galaxy Buds Plus, currently priced at $85, at a lower price or discontinue it and launch the Galaxy Buds2 at $149." Unlike the Beats Studio Buds, the Galaxy Buds2 is reported not to include active noise cancelling (ANC) functionality that blocks surrounding noise.

Looking at the Galaxy Buds2 renderings released earlier by 91mobiles, the Galaxy Buds2 has a design similar to the Galaxy Buds Pro. The outside of the product case is white, and the internal color features a two-tone design allowing selection from four colors. The internal colors will be released in black, green, purple, and white. Instead of ANC, it is known that rubber tips for noise isolation will be provided.

According to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Galaxy Buds2 charging case will be equipped with a 500mAh battery, and each earbud will have a 60mAh battery. The charging speed is 2.5 watts for the case and 0.6 watts for the earbuds.

Initially, there were expectations within and outside the industry that some products, including the Galaxy Buds2, might appear at the virtual event hosted by Samsung Electronics at MWC 2021 the day before. However, only the wearable integrated OS and UI for the Galaxy Watch were unveiled at the event.
