Ahoy Patrice, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback about your Galaxy Buds3. Properly wearing your earbuds is essential for optimal sound quality, comfort, and security. Incorrect usage can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and a higher chance of losing them, especially during activities like jogging. To prevent losing an earbud, ensure they fit properly. Since the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds without ear tips, simply place them in your ears to get started. Check the bottom of each earbud for directional marks labeled L and R. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L earbud into your left ear with the L facing you. Tilt the blade slightly so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth rather than straight down. Adjust the earbuds by rotating until the fit feels comfortable. For more detailed instructions, please see the links below. We value your feedback and thank you for choosing Samsung as your preferred brand.

Not worth the money sorry
on October 1, 2025
Posted by: Kdev
from Cleveland ohio
Expertise:Expert
These earbuds have been a frustrating experience. While the sound quality is decent for the first few days, they quickly develop a major flaw: the left earbud starts sounding extremely hollow, almost like a blown tweeter.
I initially thought it was a fluke, but the exact same issue has occurred with multiple replacements, confirming a persistent problem with the Samsung Buds 3. It’s disappointing that a cheaper pair, like my Tozo 1s, have lasted three years without a single issue, outperforming these more expensive Samsung buds on reliability. The consistency of this defect is the one thing I wish Samsung had gotten right.

Hi Kdev, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insights about your Galaxy Buds3. If you're experiencing low volume or poor sound quality on one or both earbuds, several factors might be at play. You could be wearing the earbuds incorrectly, or dirt and debris might have accumulated on them. Software outdatedness, low battery, and other concerns can also impact audio quality. Check each earbud’s orientation: when inserting them, make sure the wing tips face upward until they sit comfortably, then rotate the earbuds left or right for a secure fit. It may seem unusual, but also verify if there are any software updates available for the earbuds via the Galaxy Wearable app. Open the app, navigate to Earbuds settings, then select "Earbuds software update," and proceed with the download and installation. Refer to the linked article for additional troubleshooting resources for your Galaxy Buds3. We appreciate your review and thank you for choosing Samsung. No, low, or poor audio quality on Samsung earbuds

This is a horrible model of earbuds, very big and painful to keep in ears they just fall right out unlike the silicone buds model this specific one just isn’t for me .
Also the sound isn't good. With both earbuds in I'll give them -1 on sound. I’ve had better sounding quality headphones for a smaller price. Do not waste your money on this model.

Howdy Strawberrystack,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3. Its open-style design features a one-way speaker and a single amplifier. Proper placement is essential for optimal sound, comfort, and security, as incorrect wear can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, or earbuds falling out. Because the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type, they don’t have ear tips. To start, simply insert them into your ears, paying attention to the L and R labels. Place the R bud in your right ear with the R facing you, and the L in your left ear with the L facing you. Slightly tilt the blade so the microphone points toward your mouth instead of straight down, and rotate as needed until comfortable. If discomfort continues, stop using the earbuds and contact Samsung Support. We value your feedback and thank you for being part of the Samsung community.

The Galaxy Buds 3 got great features.
on August 21, 2024
Posted by: Ilovesamsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Buds 3 got awesome features such as high quality audio, active noise canceling that works very well which is great on the airplane, and a charging case and charges your galaxy buds wireless with magnets. It also has a voice controls to tell your buds if you want to pause the song, play, next song, previous song, etc. It also has something called a stem at the bottom of your Galaxy Buds to adjust the volume and to play or pause or skip the song your in. You can also answer calls with it too. If you want something wireless with awesome battery life, great features, active noise canceling, and high quality audio, then this would be the perfect product.

Great sound quality, a tad big for my ears though
on August 26, 2024
Posted by: NeonKellz
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far the Galaxy Buds 3 are the only Samsung buds that fit in my ear. I will say, they are still slightly too big but they fit the best, compared to other brands as well.
The sound quality is top notch. The active noise canceling is super helpful when I'm feeling overwhelmed with all the sounds around me, these help drown all that out.
I have no had a chance to use Galaxy AI yet because I don't really understand how.

I purchased these to use while working/working out because they were cheaper.. I had them maybe a week or so before getting fed up with them. They DO NOT STAY IN. They were constantly falling out so I returned them..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
