This is my third pair of Samsung ear buds. I wanted to try a different kind. Once I received the ear buds I could see there was going to be a problem with them. There was no rubber on the end for comfort or fit. I tried to put them in my ear, but they did not fit and were uncomfortable. They would not stay in my ears the ends were too big. The sound was good, but what good is sound without a good fit.

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the sound quality, a key strength of the Buds lineup. Galaxy Buds are crafted to accommodate different listening preferences, offering a unique approach to audio performance and design. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds, not canal-type, so they lack ear tips. To start, simply place them in your ears, checking the bottom for directional markings, L and R. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing outward, and the L bud into your left ear with the L facing outward. Tilt the blades slightly so the microphones on the bottom point toward your mouth rather than straight down. You can adjust the fit by rotating the buds forward and backward until comfortable. For best results, refer to the online guide on fitting your Galaxy Buds3. We value your feedback as we strive to enhance design and sound quality. Thank you for choosing Samsung. -Ty

These headphones for some reasons feel cheaply made and the sound quality is just not it.

Nice design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good for Samsung to bring this new update, a more comfortable design, without the classic rubber for those of us who do not like that feeling in the ear, a nice gray color, and the battery life it's decent. Very happy with my product and very happy with Samsung and how they are doing things

Worst Earbuds ever

If you like listening to AM Radio from another room than these are the Earbuds for You. I'm honestly very disappointed in the Buds3. Would give negative stars if possible. I traded my Buds2 in for these which I really liked the 2s for fit and sound but the left one kept dying. The change in design for the 3 was a poor choice. The 3s do not stay in your ear with the slightest movement and in order to get a decent sound from them you literally have to apply constant pressure on them into your ear. In trying to return them I keep getting dropped by the chat program. I was going to give the Buds3 Pro a chance but now I'm done with Samsung for Earbuds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't buy unless you plan on buying new ones soon

Noise cancelation was good at the beginning but 2 months after the problems began, sound cancelation got weaker, individual headphones did not charge unless the case had power at the start and then evolved into, headphone case having zero power even though it was charged to 100%.

Best earbuds to date!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m thrilled with my new Galaxy Buds3. They’ve become an essential part of my daily routine, whether I’m working, hitting the gym, or streaming my favorite shows. The sound quality is exceptional—crisp, clear, and immersive, making every listening experience a pleasure. What really sets these earbuds apart is the incredible AI feature. The real-time translation of speech is a game-changer. It’s perfect for understanding foreign languages on the fly and adds so much convenience to my day. Whether I’m catching up on international news, collaborating with global colleagues, or just exploring new content, this feature is a standout. Overall, I love these earbuds and couldn’t imagine my day without them. Highly recommended!
