Glitchy. Sound cuts out for several seconds at a time multiple times every single time I use them. Not sure if it's caused by the noise canceling feature or maybe in ear detection. They don't fit snuggly so you're forced to use the noise canceling unless you are in a completely silent environment. Noise canceling is useless in noisy environments. It frequently, randomly emits the tone that indicates I have placed them in my ear. Would not recommend. Update: incredibly condescending response from 'Kelvin' was unhelpful and completely failed to address the issues I'm having. I spent good money on these earbuds and they've been mostly an annoyance. Jabra makes great earbuds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very poor design, does not stay in the ears and has no adjustable tips

Hi Abraham! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3. We noted your concerns about the fit. It's important to note that the Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type buds, meaning they do not come with adjustable ear tips like traditional canal-type earbuds. To get started, you can simply place them in your ears. Make sure to check for the directional marks at the bottom of the earbuds, with an "L" for the left bud and an "R" for the right. When inserting them, position the R bud in your right ear with the R facing you and do the same for the L bud in your left ear. You can also adjust their angle slightly so the microphone is pointing towards your mouth rather than straight down. We do understand that it may take some time for some users to get used to this new design, and we recommend experimenting by rotating them forwards or backwards until you find the fit that feels right. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
They work okay, but the right ear bud refuses to connect.
