Samsung’s Galaxy Buds On and Galaxy SmartTag3 went on sale in the US on Friday, November 6. Samsung also confirmed final prices. The Buds On cost $229.99, and the SmartTag3 costs $29.99 for one or $99.99 for a four-pack.
The clip-on earbuds launched in Korea on October 27. In late October, Samsung said they would reach the US in early November for $229. Friday’s release pins down the date and settles the price at $229.99. Both products are also listed and in stock on Amazon US at the same prices.
Galaxy Buds On and SmartTag3 Pricing and Availability
Samsung is selling both devices on Samsung.com, in Samsung Experience Stores and through authorized US retailers. The Amazon prices below were live as of publish time and can change without notice.

- Galaxy SmartTag3 one-pack: $29.99 in Black or White
- Galaxy SmartTag3 four-pack: $99.99 for two Black and two White tags. Buy on Amazon
If you order from Samsung directly, Droid Life reports that Samsung.com shows the Buds On arriving by next week. The same report puts SmartTag3 delivery targets in mid-November.
When the Buds On reach Europe
Samsung’s own guidance for other markets has only been early 2027. SamMobile, citing its sources, reports a European launch in the third week of January 2027. It adds that dates will likely vary by country. Samsung hasn’t confirmed that timing.
SamMobile also says only Korea and the US will get the Buds On this year.
What the Galaxy Buds On Offer
The Buds On are open earbuds that clip onto the ear. As our launch coverage noted, Samsung’s spec sheet doesn’t list active noise cancellation. That suits people who want to hear their surroundings, but not anyone shopping for a quiet commute.
- Design: Clip-on fit, 6.65g per earbud, Black
- Battery: Up to 9.5 hours of music, up to 38 hours with the case (Samsung’s internal testing)
- Audio: TwinBoost Speaker, Audio Leakage Reduction, Auto Volume as a Labs feature on One UI 8.5 or later
- Calls and voice: Three microphones plus a Voice Pickup Unit, Gemini Live via “Hey Google, let’s talk live” (needs internet)
- Head Gestures: Nod to accept a call, shake to decline, plus reading notifications and dismissing alarms
Some features depend on your phone. Quick Voice Memo needs a Galaxy AI phone running Samsung Voice Recorder and Bixby, so owners of other Android phones won’t get it.
Galaxy SmartTag3: Check Your Phone First
The SmartTag3 is Samsung’s new item tracker. Its headline upgrade is a longer Compass View range for finding a tag nearby.
- Range: Compass View up to 60 meters, which Samsung says is around three times farther than the previous generation
- Tracking features: Place Notification, Location History, Movement Detection Alert
- Phone support: Galaxy phones and iPhones, with some features limited on iPhone
- Colours: Black and White
The buyer warning here is about Android phones from other brands. In October, Samsung said that among Android phones the SmartTag3 works only with Galaxy devices. It also said it has no plans to support others, as we reported at the time. If you carry a Pixel or a OnePlus phone, this tracker isn’t for you.
