Samsung has recently unveiled not only the sixth generation of its foldable and collapsible smartphones, but also the third of its true wireless Galaxy Buds earbuds. And it brings major changes to the design - stems like Apple's Airpods, which Samsung has fitted with an LED light strip. It seems strange, but there are "use cases".

Samsung has already tried out a number of form factors for its true wireless earbuds - button in ear without stem, unconventional "bean look", it's all been done before. With the third generation now unveiled, the previous designs have been thrown overboard and are very conventional - in the white version, they could also be mistaken from a distance for the in-ears of another popular provider. But there are indeed differences, such as an unusual pinch control and an optional LED light strip - which also has its downsides.
