Absolutely incredible in every aspect. Fits well, sounds amazing, great battery life, and superior noise cancelling with active switching to ambient noise. I can literally wear these all day until the battery dies.
Not impressed with the battery life as compared to Galaxy Buds 2. The functionality is difficult, have to continuously repeat steps before Buds 3 actually does anything. I like the buds 2 much better than the present buds. Comfort I enjoy Buds 3 better

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro! We truly appreciate your honest feedback, Kevin. We understand that the battery life might not have met your expectations compared to the Buds2 so far. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro offers up to 26 hours of playtime per charge, which can be extended to 30 hours with a fully charged case. If you're looking for tips to optimize battery life, we would be happy to share some tricks to help you get the most out of your earbuds. By making a few adjustments, you can conserve battery power and ensure your earbuds last when you need them. Here are some tips: keep the earbuds in the charging case with the cover closed when not in use, and adjust the notification settings using the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected phone (or the Galaxy Buds app for iOS users). We completely get that adjusting to new functionality can be a bit of a learning curve. With the pinch controls, sometimes it helps to explore the Galaxy Wearable app, where you can customize the settings to fit your style. This way, you can make them quicker and easier to use based on your preferences. We're glad to see that you find the Buds3 Pro comfortable! We really focused on making these earbuds a great fit for long listening sessions, so it’s wonderful to know you’re enjoying that aspect. Thanks again for your feedback!

Call quality improved from buds2 pro. Feel slightly less secure than buds 2 pro. Noise cancellation seems similar between 2 pro and 3 pro. Sound quality for music probably slightly better. Overall satisfied, but wouldn't upgrade if buds2 pro still working (finally killed mine after sending through laundry multiple times
I have the galaxy buds 2 and didn't think I needed to upgrade, but good thing I did. The design is much better and these have some new, useful features. You won't regret buying these earbuds.
