Good features, bad form factor.

I like the noise cancelation for the other end during phone calls. I can be in the car with the windows down and the person I'm speaking to on the phone only hears my voice.
Coming from previously having the Galaxy Buds Live, I have a few problems with the Buds 3. The first thing is the shape. They hurt my ears after an hour of use, and with longer use I find my ears are scabbing over, are tender, and sore. The pause/play button is impossible to press without moving the Buds placement in the ear, so I end up not using it. I've bought silicone covers for both the Buds Live and Buds 3 to keep them from getting dirty. This is especially necessary for the Buds 3 since they fall out ears very easily. The covers that are out there for the Buds 3 sort of mitigate the problem with little arms that brace them in the ear. They hurt with or without the covers, especially the sharp edges of the speakers without the covers. Lastly the Buds Live fit and charge properly in the case with silicone covers on. The Buds 3 however, seem to not be able reach the prongs to charge in the case with the thin layer on silicone that the covers have. They also won't fit in the case with the lid closed.
In closing, if the Buds 3 had the form factor of the Buds Live I would give them 5 stars.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about the Galaxy Buds3. We genuinely appreciate your honesty, as it helps us understand your experience better. It's great to see that you enjoy the noise cancellation during phone calls, even with the windows in your car down! We also noticed your comments on comfort and fit. The Galaxy Buds3 have an open-type design rather than traditional canal-type buds, which means they don’t come with earbud tips. To get started, you simply place them in your ears. We recommend checking the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks; you’ll see an "L" for the left bud and an "R" for the right bud. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the "R" facing you, and the L bud into your left ear with the "L" facing you. Angling the microphone on the bottom towards your mouth can help improve your experience, and adjusting the buds by rotating them slightly until they feel right is also a great tip. If you have any further questions or if there's more you'd like to discuss, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. Your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us! -Kelvin

Hi Sarya! Thanks for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3. It sounds like you're encountering some challenges with how they connect to your devices and the microphone. We recommend repairing your buds to both your PC and phone to help ensure they’re working at their best. You may have to forget the buds on the settings for the PC and phone. Additionally, don’t forget to check out the Wearable app for any available software updates that can enhance performance. We take pride in our products, and every Galaxy Buds3 comes with a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects, with the option to purchase Samsung Care+ for extended protection and extra support. If you continue to experience difficulties, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. We’d be happy to take a closer look and assist you further. Your satisfaction is important to us! -Kelvin

Great Earbuds
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: Asumsang
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the sharp design of the blade, the feel of the case is the best fidget toy when I take it out of my pocket. Connectivity is seamless and a quick process with the Wearables App.
I feel really closer in the Galaxy Ecosystem. I have an S23 FE, Galaxy Watch FE, and I welcome the buds 3( I got them before the release of the 2025 Buds 3 FE) as an addition to my collection of Galaxy Devices. Just need the Galaxy Ring and I am fully complete. But enough ranting.
If you're looking for a nice set of buds this is the one. It has nice audio, the first time I ever tried the Noise Cancelling feature and it surprised me a lot. Isn't strong when I'm on the public bus but with subtle noises it's like I wasn't even in public. Again, I LOVE IT😍😍🤩

Great bass, no rubber ear piece option. Loose fit.

It didn’t fit in my ear canal as nice as I’d like, but I’m glad that they offer a pair of buds that don’t have the rubber earpiece. I prefer not to have the rubber piece shoved in my ear, so Samsung having an option like this I really do like.
I’m coming from AirPods, so maybe my ear is just molded and used to what there’s is and I know Samsung‘s is probably just different and my ear could probably get used to it but that would be my only complaint is that it slips out and doesn’t fit as snug or feel as comfortable as my AirPods
I hate to do a direct comparison, but that is the other popular brand in the brand that I used
Also, I feel like the base was a little bit better on these.

Hi there MONDAY, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Galaxy Buds3. If you experience no or low volume and poor sound on one or both earbuds — whether it's Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+, Galaxy Buds Live, Galaxy Buds Pro, or Gear IconX — there might be several reasons. You could be wearing the earbuds incorrectly, or they might have dust or debris buildup. Other factors such as outdated software, a low battery, or similar issues can also impact audio quality. Check the link below for tips on enhancing sound performance. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds, not canal-style, so they lack ear tips. To start, just place them in your ears. Look at the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks—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. Slightly angle the blades so the microphones on the bottom face toward your mouth rather than straight down. You can also adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until comfortable. For additional tips on achieving the perfect fit with your Galaxy Buds3, see the link below. Thank you for your review, and we appreciate you choosing Samsung as your preferred brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great pair of buds. They produce really great sounds. The battery life is also great. I like the fact that they can automatically reconnect to any samsung device i had use them on before.
