Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro reportedly leaked and was sold before launch

Hours after the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro was leaked in a hands-on video, another pair of unreleased wireless earbuds was leaked.

The listing, which has since been removed, claimed that two pairs of Samsung's upcoming headphones were for sale and was accompanied by a photo of the Buds and their packaging.

Both are consistent with the contents of the box seen in YouTuber Digital Slang's aforementioned hands-on video. Interestingly, two days before he posted the video, he tweeted that he found the Galaxy Buds Pro for sale on Facebook, but it is unclear if this is the same listing.

The text and photos of the Marketplace listing, posted by Twitter user @sondesix, tell us nothing brand new about the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro's specs and features. One pair was reportedly sold for $180, less than the rumored $200 MSRP.

On that note, the price of the Galaxy Buds Pro, along with the exact release date, are details that have yet to be clearly confirmed by one of the more revealing leaks. Regular tipster Anthony (A.K.A. @TheGalox_) stated that the Galaxy Buds Pro will be released earlier than the Samsung Galaxy S21.

Both devices are expected to be officially unveiled at a Samsung event on January 14. Assuming that both the Samsung Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy S21 will be available for pre-order on that date, this means a shorter wait to get your hands on the Buds.

As much as the surprise has been spoiled time and again, Samsung will probably be relieved to know that it has a pair of seriously tricked-out wireless earbuds on hand. In addition to active noise canceling and transparency mode, the Galaxy Buds Pro will be Samsung's first earbuds to feature IPX7 full waterproofing, something even the AirPods Pro lacks.

3D spatial audio is also rumored, but it is worth noting that this AirPods Pro-style surround sound feature is not listed on the product packaging, as it appears in the Facebook Marketplace listing.

Based on what we know so far about the Galaxy Buds Pro, it appears that the Galaxy Buds Pro is a solid AirPods Pro competitor and a potential candidate for our Best Wireless Earphones list.
