The little buds that could almost do it all!
on July 31, 2024
Posted by: RinSetsuA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start of by making it clear that I use my buds 3 pro to their limit. I'm constantly on the train or the bus and these are very loud environments.
I use to use over the ear noise cancelling headphones as they do a good job, but I wanted something more portable that I can throw in my pocket and go. Then I saw that the buds 3 pro were coming out and they had Galaxy AI that could make distinctions between what could be important in the environment and what should be cancelled out. Clearly, I bought a pair and have had them for about a week now. I was one of the lucky ones to get them before their shopping was delayed.
I have had no quality control issues and I did opt to switch out the standard ear pieces for the small ones include LD in the box. Sound quality is good and can be made better with the EQ. I find myself using the 360 audio options on certain media, although I don't use it as often as I thought I would. The only negative that I have noticed if that the buds amplify the hydraulic "hiss" of the bus doors opening, which can be really loud if you have your volume up. On that note, I have not had the need to push the volume past 60%, even in really loud environments. The buds do a great job at noise cancelling.
The buds are usually in my ears for about an hour and a half straight and it's followed by a little discomfort at the end, but nothing too major. I've been told that the microphones are good, including when I'm on the bus.
Excellent piece of tech!!!! Enjoying everything about it and looking good with those leds!!!

Bought this last Christmas for my wife, she loved them at first. Now this year I have to buy another set because the battery on these ear buds doesn't even last an hour. Didn't find out until the day after the warranty expired, womp womp.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Right bud had nothing but issues since purchased. Will not stay charged up past 3 hours and very loud clicking while noise canceling. Dealt with cs trying to get it fixed for weeks and was told that they cant help me now because my warranty expired a week ago. Have been with Samsung since they came out but just purchased a Google phone because of how I was dealt with. Horrible CS. Not the same as it was.

Could be better...

These buds do not fit snug in my ear, especially while chewing food or doing activities moving your head. Tried swapping out different size buds but not really a solution. Buds2 worked best for me. Would be nice if this model could translate different languages.

After eagerly awaiting the release of these earbuds, when I finally received them I was highly disappointed and returned them. I opened the box for the buds and attempted to change to a different size ear tip which caused the rubber to rip off. Known manufacturing issue for all of the new Pros that came out and it just shows the lack of testing that went into to this equipment. Really sad.

The sound is amazing. The fit and finish are good. Love being able to change tracks and volume with my voice. My only wish is that you could amplify the ambient sound a little more like I could on buds 2 pro.
