Could not keep them in my ear.
on March 29, 2025
Posted by: Cheri
I could not keep these in my ears. The charger went out after a month.
Response from Samsung USBy R&R Team, March 31, 2025
We appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us, Cheri. Your candid feedback on the Galaxy Buds3 is greatly appreciated. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro offers up to 30 hours of listening time when used with the charging case. However, actual battery life may vary depending on usage conditions, such as function settings, playback file type, and Bluetooth signal strength. If your earbuds are not charging correctly, please try the following troubleshooting steps: First, use the included charging cable with a USB charger. Second, ensure that the charging case is functioning properly. Third, check for any debris in the charging cradle's pin connectors. Fourth, inspect the charging connectors on the Galaxy Buds for obstructions. Finally, use the Wear app to confirm if one of the earbuds is not charging and make sure that each bud is securely seated inside the charging case. Samsung offers a 12-month limited warranty for manufacturer defects. We also provide the option to add additional coverage with Samsung Care+ on eligible devices, which offers extended protection and additional support. If you continue to experience challenges, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support for further assistance. -Kelvin

Left earbud is super low and post responsiveness for tapping it after less than 2 months. They're also very uncomfortable sadly. Had the buds2 before and already miss them...

Thanks for reaching out, Faby. Your feedback on the Galaxy Buds3 is greatly appreciated. We're glad to see that you made the upgrade from the Buds2 and we're here to help you get the most out of your new buds. We did see that you may be experiencing some challenges with one of your buds being low on sound. One of the steps you can take to ensure that both buds have the same volume is to ensure both buds have the same volume by adjusting the volume settings on your phone using the Volume Up key, as the phone and earbuds have separate volume controls. You can also control the volume directly on the earbuds by setting up touchpad commands. Make sure to check the media volume limiter settings and the battery status in the Galaxy Wearable app as a low battery may affect performance. Additionally, make sure to check the battery life by placing the earbuds in the charging case, which may have an indicator light located on the front or rear. Low battery life on one buds could make the sound lower. As far as the touch responsiveness, try restarting your earbuds or performing a complete reset if needed. Lastly, don’t forget to check for software updates through the Galaxy Wearable app or by connecting to a PC. If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at Samsung Support and we would be more than happy to further assist you! -Kelvin

Going back to my Buds2
on June 12, 2025
Posted by: Dorkasaurus69
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung kind of dropped the ball here. They sound a little flat and they are NOT comfortable to wear! You can buy silicone covers for a fit, but they are a real hassle to put on, and they will not fit in the case and have to be removed. And you would have to do this every..single..time. If you want the set with ear tips they significantly cost a lot more. They should have offered the ear tips for both sets. And finally, with the smaller design, the batteries are too, and they get used up a little too quickly.
To make calls, it works perfect with Galaxy Ai and Bixby. And I have been told they sound better than through the phone itself.
The blade design is rather unique and takes a little getting used to. They still look like airpods to me.
If I could ask for a refund, I would. They need to go back to the drawing board. I love my Buds2, and will be keeping them for a while longer.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3! It's great to see that you appreciate the call quality with Galaxy AI and Bixby, as well as the unique blade design. For sound customization, the Galaxy Wearable app offers an Equalizer feature that allows you to adjust the audio profile to better suit your preferences. If the sound feels flat, selecting a different preset or customizing the equalizer settings can help enhance your listening experience. Regarding battery life, the Buds3 are designed for extended use. Storing them in the charging case when not in use will help optimize their battery performance. You can check the battery level through the Galaxy Wearable app to ensure you're getting the most out of each charge. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! If you have any further concerns or questions, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin

Not the best
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: MRBMF
Expertise:Expert
Sooo this was not a well thought out or designed product. They are bulky and the sound quality can't really be enjoyed without cramming them into your ears. Speaking of....dont wear them at the gym or even walking too hard they create moisture and fall out of your ear all while providing poor sound quality. The time between these and the next ones release let me know a lot. Then the trade in values are awful and not worth it I'd rather keep a non working item I paid triple the offered trade for than to waste my money that way.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey MRBMF, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your Galaxy Buds3! We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience. Since the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds and not canal-style, they lack ear tips. To begin, simply place them in your ears. Look at the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks; you'll see an L and an 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 buds so the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth instead of straight down. You can improve the fit by rotating the buds forward or backward until they feel comfortable. Please see the links below for instructions on how to properly wear your Galaxy Buds3. For trade-in values, contact our Samsung Support Team. Thank you for your review and for choosing Samsung for your mobile needs. How to wear your Samsung Galaxy Buds3, Buds3 Pro, or Buds3 FE

Pretty disappointing product all around
on November 26, 2025
Posted by: DocOc
from Oregon, USA
Expertise:Expert
I have had these for about 6 months now and have been really disappointed. They sound fine but are kind of quite. Every ambient sound comes through so unless you are in a quiet environment, they just aren't very good. They do fit well, but still feel like they are going to fall out (though they don't). No matter how diligently I clean them they regularly refuse to charge. Despite cleaning them the left earbud has become barely audible. It's like it wont go over volume 1. It's on, but the volume doesn't adjust with the right one. The app thinks its connected and functioning, but even after spending way too much time cleaning it, it just doesn't work. Just a really frustrating product experience all the way around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there DocOc,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on your experience. The Buds3 are engineered for straightforward everyday listening and quick pairing. Your comments about ambient noise, charging reliability, and channel balance are valuable for us to enhance the core listening experience. Properly wearing your earbuds is crucial for optimal sound quality, comfort, and to prevent them from falling out. Incorrect wear can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and a higher risk of losing an earbud, especially during activities like jogging. To achieve the best fit, look for directional marks—L and R—on the bottom of each earbud. 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. Tilt the stem slightly so the microphone points toward your mouth rather than straight down. Adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until comfortable. Additional information on audio settings and charging tips for your Galaxy Buds3 is linked below. Our Samsung Support Team is ready to assist with any questions, please feel free to contact us. We appreciate your positive review and thank you for choosing Samsung.

I didn't mean to give these the ultimate stress test, but after an hour in the washing machine, they are still kicking! If you need truly indestructible earbuds, these are it. 5 stars for surviving my laundry machine!

Hi Noom
Thank you for sharing your experience with Galaxy Buds3. These earbuds have a sleek, lightweight design intended for comfort and immersive sound. Fit can vary based on ear shape, emphasizing the importance of ergonomic design for daily use. Unlike canal-style earbuds, the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type and do not have ear tips. To use them, simply place them in your ears. Check the bottom for directional marks labeled 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 tilt the earbud so the microphone points toward your mouth rather than straight down. Adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward and backward until comfortable. For more tips on achieving the perfect fit, visit the linked online resource below. Galaxy Buds continue to improve, providing both comfort and sound quality for various listening preferences. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for being part of the Samsung community.

Thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback on the Galaxy Buds3, Morsi. We always love getting feedback from our customers as we continue to make improvements. With the Buds3, you can enjoy amazing audio quality, no matter how you wear them. The Adaptive Equalizer, powered by Galaxy AI, adjusts the sound based on how the Buds fit in your ears, allowing you to experience immersive audio while on the go. We love that you like new slick design of the Buds3. We noted your concerns about the fit and connectivity with your Z Flip6. If your phone cannot connect to your Galaxy Buds3, getting them to connect again will only take a couple of steps. Performing a restart on the earbuds, resetting the Bluetooth connection, or updating the Galaxy Wearable app will normally fix this. Check out the link attached for additional troubleshooting options to help resolve this. Regarding fit, the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds rather than canal-type, so they do not have earbud tips. To use them, simply place them in your ears to get started. Check the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks. You will see an L and an R. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you. Insert the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. Angle the blade slightly so that the microphone on the bottom is pointing towards your mouth rather than straight down. You can adjust the buds by rotating them forwards and backwards until the fit feels right. We hope that this helps resolve your concerns with the Buds3. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin
