New Sound and New Drawbacks
on January 5, 2026
Posted by: Alex
from Boston, MA
Expertise:Intermediate
I only own 2 pairs of galax head phones these and the old buds FE with the rubber tip.The noise cancelation is not very good on these. Ive tried all three sizes and am still pretty disappointed. My old galaxy buds FE have better noise cancelation/ reduction. I hear sounds over my music even after a perfect fit test. Comfort is okay, I do get a little sore after a few hrs compared to the FEs. Sound quality on the other hand is AMAZING, I hear sounds in songs I didn't even know were there! 20/10 on the sound. The battery seems half decentso far and the case holds a good charge. I have the S24 Ultra and connection is a little slow, but doesn't really bother me. Overall great sound and battery, falls short everywhere else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Battery doesn't last as long as my previous earbuds, they won't stay in my ear, and when I adjust them the sensors freak out

Hello Npop,
Thank you for sharing your experience with Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Its intelligent sensors and adaptive features are intended to ensure smooth interaction throughout the day. Feedback on battery life, fit security, and sensor responsiveness illustrates how a balance between smart technology and user control influences the listening experience. Achieving a proper fit with your Galaxy Buds3 can demonstrate how effectively the sensors operate. Properly wearing your earbuds is important for several reasons: it enhances sound quality, increases comfort, and helps keep them secure in your ears. Incorrect wear can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and a higher chance of falling out. To avoid losing an earbud, particularly while jogging, ensure a correct fit. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro come with different-sized ear tips. First, find the right size for your ears; they should fit snugly without gaps, which prevents sound leaks and ensures the best audio quality. If you need help changing the tips, refer to our guide for the Buds3 Pro tips. After choosing the right tips, check the bottom of the earbuds for directional markings—L and R. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L into your left ear with the L facing you. Angle the earbuds slightly so the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth, not straight down. Adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until comfortable. You can also perform a fit test to verify the fit's correctness. For more details, see the linked online article below. We value your feedback. Thank you for being a Samsung customer.

Fall out
on January 14, 2026
Posted by: JayE
I thought I would try these while waiting for Pro4 buds to come out. Tried them on a long flight and business trip. Not bad for sound. The fit is terrible. Constantly falling out and no matter what size I tried, nothing fits comfortability in my ears. The copycat Air Pod design with the stem, sucks. I'll use my pro2 buds until the 4 is released. Don't waste your money on these.

Hi JayE,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on the Galaxy Buds3. Their balanced sound quality and clarity make them ideal for travel and long listening sessions. Ear fit varies with ear shape, emphasizing the importance of comfort and personal preference when choosing wireless earbuds. Proper fit is crucial: it improves sound quality, enhances comfort, and keeps the earbuds secure. An improper fit can cause discomfort, sound leaks, and increase the risk of falling out during activities like jogging. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro comes with different-sized ear tips; select the right size for a snug fit to prevent leaks and improve audio. For instructions on changing tips, see our guide for the Buds3 Pro. Once fitted, verify the L and R markings. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L into your left ear with the L facing you. Position the microphone at the bottom toward your mouth for proper orientation. Slightly rotate the earbuds until comfortable. For more fitting tips, visit our online guide via the link below.

Terrible design
on January 15, 2026
Posted by: Samsung loyalist
from Arizona
I've only had these a few months and by far are not as good as previous versions. Functionality is difficult to navigate. Microphone has been terrible since the beginning, always have to repeat myself to those on the other end. The microphone finally gave out on me. I did all the resets and test the microphone after and the right one doesn't work. I am very disappointed in these. I use these inside my home while I work, it's not like they are abused with dust, dirt and sweat from working outside. The little stick they've attached to these now only make me dislike them more. Bring back the in ear version's quality and design.

I have tried all three of the sizes that came with the ear buds. None of them fit well enough that I feel like I could go running in them. The ambient sound isn't nearly as good as previously owned Samsung ear buds, The battery doesn't seem to last either. Lastly the blue tooth drops out so much its annoying. This is the first Samsung product that I have been disappointed in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Juan,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Comfort and fit are crucial, especially during workouts and active use. The Buds3 Pro offers multiple ear tip options to help users find a secure, personalized fit while enjoying high-quality sound. Properly wearing your earbuds is important because it improves sound quality, increases comfort, and prevents them from falling out. An incorrect fit can cause discomfort, sound leakage, and earbuds falling out, especially during activities like jogging. Galaxy Buds3 Pro come with various-sized ear tips; make sure you select the right size for a snug fit, with no gaps between your ear and the tip. This prevents sound leaks and enhances audio performance. For tip-changing instructions, refer to our guide. After fitting the right tips, check the buds for directional marks: R and L. Insert the R bud into your right ear with R facing you, and the L into your left ear with L facing you. Angle the earbuds so the microphones point toward your mouth. Adjust by rotating until comfortable. You can also run a fit test for optimal comfort. For more tips on achieving a perfect fit, see our online article linked below. Samsung appreciates your feedback and thanks you for being part of the community.
