You can choose from Jigglypuff, Ditto and Snorlax Pokémons, and they’re available in your choice of either theSamsung Galaxy Buds 2or theSamsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, in terms of actual listening gear.
For us, the newer Buds 2 Pro are the ones to go for – they’re some of thebest true wireless earbudsgoing, particularly if you own aSamsung Galaxy S23,Samsung Galaxy A54smartphone or similar. But you’ll have to be quick.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen the Japanese Pokémon franchise hook up with South Korean tech giant Samsung for an earbuds glow-up – thePoké Ball cases for Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Proapparently sold out within the hour when they launched in May 2022, so thelatest Pokémon-themed productsshould come as no surprize.
Only available in South Korea
Along with the case, Samsung’s Pokémon Packs feature corresponding stickers (not to be confused with thefun virtual stickers and posters coming to iOS 17) so you can bring a Snorlax, Ditto or Jigglypuff theme to the rest of your life.
Pricing? Of course, you cannot buy the cases separately, but the Galaxy Buds 2 option costs KRW 129,000 ($99, which is around £77 or AU$149) or the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for KRW 199,000 ($152, or around £119 or AU$227).
Gotta catch ‘em all? Sadly, Jigglypuff, Ditto and Snorlax are only available in Samsung’s native South Korea. Our advice? You may want to hit up eBay fairly soon…
