And now, with the rollout of One UI 7, you can access convenient and intelligent audio with Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro. Easily change sound settings on the quick settings panel and have your preferences applied to specific apps, all for your convenience. Plus, users can enjoy the more accessible, personalized audio experience enabled by Adapt sound feature.

Let’s take a closer look at how the Galaxy Buds3 series can enhance and transform your everyday soundscape.

New Features for Advanced Customization and Convenient Control

Adjust Sound Settings with More Convenience

Fine-tuning your audio should be quick and easy so you can enjoy whatever you’re listening to anytime, anywhere. Galaxy Buds3 series makes the job much simpler with One UI 7, eliminating the need to separately access the Galaxy Wearable app on your smartphone each time you want to adjust the settings for your device. Now for the first time, conveniently adjust volume, noise control, and sound settings all from your device’s quick settings panel for a hassle-free listening experience.

Personalize Sound Settings for Specific Apps

Sound setting preferences often vary by the app you’re using. For instance, when listening to music you may prefer the bass turned high, but when watching a movie, you prefer a more immersive 360-degree sound experience. With App sound settings, you no longer need to adjust sound settings each time you visit an app. Simply set your sound preferences for individual apps[2] once via quick settings panel, and the Galaxy Buds3 series will automatically apply them whenever the app starts playing media. This capability delivers a more seamless daily audio routine, tailored to your liking.

What’s more, Galaxy Buds3 Pro can intelligently optimize sound in any environment. You can still enjoy your music fully when walking at a park, with Adaptive Noise Control constantly analyzing surrounding sound and automatically adjusting the optimal level of noise without you needing to make any manual adjustments.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd unlocks a blast from the past with the launch of its Y2K 4eva collection of mobile accessories in the Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) region, which aims to bring Y2K style roaring into the present. A nod to trends in the 2000s, the new Y2K 4eva collection features bold, playful and nostalgic accessories exclusively designed for the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Buds3 series, including special designs in collaboration with Paul Frank and MILO.

Based on a study by GWI, Y2K era pop culture has been making a resurgence in recent years as Millennials and Generation Z (Gen Zs) feel particularly nostalgic for media in the 2000s[1]. Millennials and Gen Zs are adding their own twist by infusing 21^st century kitsch and digital retrofuturism into their day to day, such as thrifting and the use of film filter effects for digital photography, which have become a trend among this specific demographic.

Innovative Design Meets Iconic Style

The launch of the Y2K 4eva collection is not just about accessories, but also a time capsule that reminds of the simple and fun years of our youth, when our love affair with technology was still new, at the dawn of the early internet heralded by the buzz of dial-up connections. The collection will feature Samsung original Y2K 4eva designs that are bold, playful, nostalgic, sporting disco motifs, and a back-to-school vibe many will love.

As part of this year’s Y2K 4eva collection, Samsung has collaborated with Paul Frank to feature designs set in Planned Pines, a utopian universe that is a reminder of fun, playful and fearless times before the complexities of adulthood set in, adorned with Paul Frank’s beloved Julius the Monkey.

Paul Frank sits at the intersection between nostalgia and fashion, embracing fun, light-hearted moments that reflects the next generations’ individuality while promoting inclusivity and community.

MILO Galaxy Z Flip6 Case with Animated Wallpaper and Sticker Sheet

Samsung has also collaborated with MILO to create a uniquely designed phone case that is reminiscent of a recess favorite and a generational household staple. For many, the love for MILO often begins at childhood – the iconic cocoa malt beverage for a school morning breakfast, or an energizing pick-me-up during sports days and recess. This collaboration celebrates the timeless joy that MILO brings, connecting with fans who grew up loving MILO. The iconic MILO tin featured in the phone design pays homage to the heritage that remains a staple in many homes, igniting fond memories of growing up.

Accessories in the Y2K 4eva collection range from phone cases with animated cover screen wallpapers for the Galaxy Z Flip6, Buds case for the Galaxy Buds3 series, Griptoks, and sticker sheets.

“The Y2K movement has grown in popularity among Millennials and Gen Zs today. At Samsung, we are excited to bring a fresh and playful twist to our latest Galaxy devices through this movement by empowering our fans and users to explore the styles that resonate with who they are and what they like,” said ChonHong Ng, VP, Head of Regional Marketing, Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia and Oceania. “Our Y2K 4eva collection, in collaboration with iconic brands like Paul Frank and MILO, reflects our efforts as a distinctive brand that continues to innovate, offering our customers unique accessories that are functional and also serve as a form of self-expression.”

“Together with Samsung, we are excited to bring new ways for Paul Frank fans to have meaningful engagements with Julius and his friends. We are delighted to to collaborate on this exciting Y2K 4eva collection with the Samsung team and bring together playful and fun accessories that both our customers will be sure to enjoy,” said Michael Puglisi, Brand Director & Global Licensing, Futurity Brands.

“We are delighted to partner with Samsung to bring something fresh to MILO fans from across SEAO. As a generationally well-loved brand, this Y2K interpretation would be especially special for those who started loving MILO as kids-back in this era. It is an homage to the timeless joy and nutritious energy that MILO brings to families across the region,” said Michelle Marie Avarillo, Global Category Business Head – Kids & Teens Nutrition at Nestlé.

Samsung Newsroom met with Helen Nam and Donggi Kim from the Wearable Product Planning Group, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, to learn about what went into creating the new Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro.

Creating a Comfortable Fit Using 3D Ear Data and AI

Q: What was your biggest concern when planning the Galaxy Buds3 series?

Nam: For the Galaxy Buds3 series, we had an internal goal of planning the new products from scratch — instead of improving previous versions. Fit is an important factor for the Galaxy Buds series since an ergonomic fit is the foundation of premium sound quality and convenience. Because the human ear is as unique as a fingerprint, we conducted extensive research on ear shapes and collected a variety of 3D ear data. Based on our findings, we were able to come up with a new design boasting a more secure fit.

▲ Helen Nam explains the planning process behind the new Galaxy Buds3 series.

Q: How has Galaxy AI affected planning the Galaxy Buds3 series?

Kim: We aimed to deliver a personalized listening experience to every individual with AI. When users wear the Galaxy Buds3 series, the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) feature and sound are optimized based on AI-powered algorithms that analyze real-time differences in sound through internal and external microphones. Galaxy AI seamlessly completes the wearability and functionality of the new exterior design.

▲ Donggi Kim introduces the Galaxy Buds3 series’ AI features.

Nam: Thanks to Galaxy AI, the communication experience offered by the Galaxy Buds3 series has significantly improved. More specifically, call quality has been enhanced as AI technology can restore the caller’s voice in various noise environments. Also, Listening Mode can be utilized in the Interpreter feature when connected to a Galaxy smartphone.[1]

Superior Sound Quality Meets Optimal Usability

Q. What was the most memorable part of the planning process?

Kim: We visited various speaker stores and listened to different types of speakers to gain insights into sound quality. In addition, we attended in-depth seminars on sound led by a renowned audio professor and employed various methods to achieve sophisticated, ultra-high-fidelity audio. We’re pleased that our efforts have been rewarded by positive feedback from users who appreciate the Galaxy Buds3 Pro’s balanced sounds ranging from bass to treble.

Nam: Conducting consumer evaluations during the early stages of production was memorable. According to our research, many users wanted detailed control over sound and noise cancellation — which is why we added a custom feature that allows users to fine-tune the equalizer (EQ) and noise control to suit their tastes. Reflecting the user feedback collected at the beginning of product development was very meaningful to us. Also, I would like to thank the developers for their active support throughout this entire journey.

Q. What is your favorite feature of the Galaxy Buds3 series?

Nam: I would like to highlight Voice Command — a feature that lets users control their Galaxy Buds3 series with their voice, eliminating the need to touch their smartphone or earbuds. When users’ hands are busy washing dishes or taking out the garbage, they can adjust volume, change music or even answer calls with a simple voice command. Every feature in the Galaxy Buds3 series has been thoughtfully designed to cater to various user scenarios.

Tuning Into the Future of Sound Innovation

Q. In one word or sentence, how would you describe the new Galaxy Buds3 series?

Kim: For me, the project is the combination of my passion and profession. As an audiophile with a keen interest in audio products, I made sure the Galaxy Buds3 series delivers good performance. The Galaxy Buds3 series is a product I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

Nam: I would say it is like a “vitamin.” From planning to launch, I felt energized during every stage of the Galaxy Buds3 series’ development. I hope that users also immerse themselves in this new world of sound and acquire vitality with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro.

Q. What’s next for the Galaxy Buds series?

Nam: We want to develop the Galaxy Buds series into a product that leverages AI to better understand individuals. Beyond delivering great sound tailored to each user, we hope the device can offer user-optimized solutions across various areas including interpretation.

Kim: Sound innovation is a never-ending journey. We are constantly collaborating with developers to elevate the richness and authenticity of sound. We appreciate the continued support and interest from our users.
