The fit itself was better on Buds2 Pro I think, Buds3 Pro feels just ever so slightly tight so I can wear it for too long like I used to with Buds2Pro. Audio quality is obviously a lot better. ANC is superb, better than Buds2 Pro, I was able to test in a flight with kids and seat near the engine. Quite as a library. Some might argue it's too good lol.
Very surprising how far advanced SAMSUNG is when it comes to form and function.. The new look of the New Bud's 3Pro doesn't look like anything else on the market it's Elegant yet Futuristic. The LED panel makes a statement it doesn't just look Cool. It shows how Samsung makes use of every single corner of this Design. I have always been a Sci-fi fan this almost feels like it should be in a Star Trek series as a Comunicator. The Sound works so differently from all the other versions which I also have these somehow feel so weird you forget your wearing them I can answer a phone call and still take a walk with my Dad while I hear the local community dogs barking, people saying Hi, and still hear Traffic. While the person on the phone sounds like they are right there walking with me. They Sound loud and Clear. But Immersed with the rest of the World around me. They sync Perfectly with my ZFold 6 and my Tablet and work so well with the translation AI I can listen to my Dad speak Spanish and it translates his words into English.. I Love the New SAMSUNG Changes. Keep them coming.
The Samsung Buds 3 Pro offer an exceptional audio experience with their superior sound quality and active noise cancellation. These earbuds are comfortable for extended wear and feature a sleek, modern design. The battery life is impressive, providing hours of uninterrupted listening, and the quick charging capability is a convenient bonus. With intuitive touch controls and seamless integration with Samsung devices, the Buds 3 Pro are a top choice for anyone seeking high-quality wireless earbuds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid Upgrade

I bought these to upgrade from my original Galaxy Buds. The sound is pretty good, certainly better than my previous pair but nothing incredible. I was able to receive a significant discount, so for the price I paid, it was well worth it. I wish I was able to try UHQ audio, but due to having an S23, the update hasn't been released for my device yet. The battery life is slightly worse than my previous Galaxy Buds (with ANC/Ambient mode off), but not by a large margin.
The fit is very good, I've ran with them in multiple times now and have rarely had to adjust them. The stem design is taking some getting used to, but in normal conditions it works well. The issue is trying to pause, play, or skip music while running and covered in sweat. It takes a few tries to get it to work, and I haven't gotten the volume sliding function to work in those conditions at all. Now that I'm getting used to it some, it's a slight downgrade from the touchpads on the original Galaxy Buds while exercising, but somewhat of an upgrade in normal conditions.
I personally have not experienced the countless QC issues that many people are facing, although I have not attempted to replace the ear tips since they currently fit well. I have also not tested the IP57 rating, in fear of damaging one of the buds due to an unseen QC issue. Otherwise, externally the buds seem fine and sound like they should. Nothing appeared on the diagnostics report either.
The features are very impressive, the ANC is far beyond what the original Galaxy Buds were capable of. I found the ambient mode to be far superior as well. The voice and siren detection works well, although I wish it was capable of detecting other people's voices including my own. The interpreter feature works as intended, but I probably will not be using it too much. I found the adaptive mode to be quite good, but I feel like it would be better if the threshold for loud noises was able to be adjusted.
Overall, a very solid upgrade. If the QC issues can be ironed out, it is certainly worth picking up if you have anything older than the Buds 2 Pro.
