Hindustan Times: [2] The race to make the most compact truly wireless earbuds is on.
[3] Samsung is reportedly experimenting with a completely new truly wireless earbuds with radical design changes. The next generation Galaxy Buds are internally codenamed “Bean”, because they actually look like the beans.
[4] WinFuture has published the renders of the Samsung Galaxy Buds ‘beans’. The renders reveal no protruding tail which hangs out like Apple’s AirPods. There are no silicon tips either.
[5] The website says the Beans will measure roughly 2.8cm in size with the upper part fitting in the earcup while the lower part will rest in the ear canal.
The design looks more like a hearing aid rather than the conventional truly wireless earbuds we’ve seen from different OEMs thus far.
The report doesn’t elaborate how the design will improve or affect the audio experience on the earbuds. There are no details about the battery capacity or additional sensors it may come with.
