Coming from the Buds 2 Pro to these, I'm impressed by the increase in sound quality and the improved fit. The decision to move the gesture controls to the stem has cut down the number of times I've accidentally paused audio while trying to adjust the buds in my ears, which was my biggest issue with the stemless design of the earlier models. The ANC is a mixed bag; there are instances where it feels like a marked improvement, and others where it feels like it still needs adjustments. In particular, whenever there is a loud, high pitched sound, like cutlery clinking against dishware, the ANC will emit a similarly pitched noise. I think it's trying (unsuccessfully) to cancel the external sound, but it just ends up being annoying, which is something I never experienced with the Buds 2 Pro. If you've never had a pair of Samsung ear buds before, these are definitely the ones to get, and if you have something like the Buds 2 Pro and find yourself frustrated by the gesture controls on those, then these are definitely worth the upgrade provided you can get a good trade-in value for your old ones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Alex, we appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your thoughts about your Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro with us. We are thrilled to hear you are enjoying the update to the shape and functionality of your new earbuds and are finding the controls to be easier to use. We would love to help you with the ANC setting of your earbuds. Our first recommendation is to ensure you are using the ANC setting and not the Adaptive setting that may be trying to allow certain noises through as intended. We have provided a link to the full device manual and the Samsung Support Team to help you adjust any settings to align to your preferences. The Samsung Support Team can also work with you directly if you believe your device is not functioning as intended. Thank you for being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger X https://smsng.us/X-Messages
I was expecting more of a generational leap after moving from the Samsung Pro 1st generation to the newest. I'm not a fan of the squeeze or pinch to use the buds I liked the tapping better.

Not worth the hype

I've had these since they released and I wish I would have stayed with my galaxy buds pro. First thing is they don't stay secured in your ear if you're lifting weights or any type of moderate intensity workouts. Second the controls on the actual buds are terrible. It basically impossible to control the volume without your watch or phone. Lastly getting the buds back into the case is a pain. You have to get it just right to swat back into the case. Sound is good, noise canceling not so much. I wouldn't make the "upgrade" save your money.
