Korean publisher Maeil recently noted that the BudsX will be priced at 170,000 won (about $140).

Apple's excellent AirPods Pro, with active noise cancellation and other smart features, will cost $249. In other words, the Galaxy Buds X can offer one of the most sought-after features in wireless headphones for more than $100 less. The Galaxy Buds X could also beat the Pixel Buds 2, as the Pixel Buds 2 costs $179 and does not offer noise canceling features.
