The original Galaxy Buds (SM-R170) was launched on March 8, 2019.[2] The launch price was $129.99, and included a wireless charging case. The Buds was discontinued when the Buds Plus was released.[3]

Additionally, a second driver for bass was included to enhance audio quality at lower frequencies.[6]
Galaxy Buds Pro
The Galaxy Buds Pro (SM-R190) was announced on January 14, 2021, and launched the following day, on January 15. The Buds Pro improved upon the design of the Galaxy Buds Plus and included improved audio, head tracking technology, and active noise cancellation.[7] They were praised for their improved design and sound quality, but criticized for their 5-hour battery life when active noise cancellation is on.[8]
Galaxy Buds FE
The Galaxy Buds FE, short for "Fan Edition", was released on October 5, 2023 for US$100, marketed as an affordable alternative to the other Galaxy Buds models. Its specifications include a 30-hour battery life with active noise cancellation disabled and the charging case and an IPX2 water resistance rating, as opposed to the 2 Pro's IPX7.[9][10]
