The author is making an appeal to self-interest by encouraging readers who own older Galaxy Buds models to upgrade to the new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. He also uses an informal fallacy by exaggerating the significance of the upgrade and implying that not upgrading would be a missed opportunity. However, no dichotomous depictions or appeals to authority were found.
]The perfect mix of style and substance[.
Given how significant this year’s upgrade is[.
It’s also worth mentioning that Samsung is making it easier for customers who own some of its older yet popular models to pick up a pair of the brand new Galaxy Buds[.
That certainly sounds like too good a deal to pass up!

Deception

The author expresses their opinion that the new Samsung Galaxy Buds3 are a poor imitation of Apple's AirPods and that they cost more, are less comfortable, and sound worse than their predecessors. This is an example of selective reporting as the author only reports details that support their negative opinion of the product. The author also uses emotional manipulation by expressing disappointment and frustration with Samsung for shifting course to imitate Apple's design.
I used to love Samsung's wireless earbuds... Why on earth the brand shifted course and began imitating Apple (badly) for its third generation of wireless buds, I honestly can't say.
They cost more than the AirPods, are even less comfortable, and sound worse.
What's particularly baffling isn't that Samsung is bobbing for Apple's designs, it's that it had perfectly excellent earbuds to begin with.
Fallacies

The author makes several comparisons between the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and Apple AirPods, implying that Samsung is imitating Apple's design. This is an Appeal to Authority fallacy as the author assumes that imitating a popular design is inherently bad without providing any evidence or reasoning. The author also uses inflammatory language such as 'Cybertruck version' and 'embarrassing' to describe the Galaxy Buds3, which is an emotional appeal and not based on logical reasoning.
]I used to love Samsung’s wireless earbuds. They came in all types of magical shapes and sizes, with designs that genuinely seemed to embrace the new frontier that totally portable listening devices offered.

They look (and mostly act) like a Cybertruck version of standard AirPods.
What’s particularly baffling isn’t that Samsung is bobbing for Apple’s designs, it’s that it had perfectly excellent earbuds to begin with. The Galaxy Buds3 sound worse than their predecessors, work worse than their predecessors, and cost more than their predecessors.
The case is a rip-off of the rounded rectangular thing you get with the AirPods Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends), but with a clear plastic top that makes it look and feel cheaper.
They also come in white, where they look so much like Apple's product that you probably would mistake them if you saw someone wearing them.
