[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bud 3 is a good Bluetooth earbud with serious fit issues, at least for me. I could not get a snug, secure fit without holding it in with my fingers. When I held them in, the ANC was good and the sound quality was excellent. The bulit-in Galaxy AI features are a great help. However as soon I removed my fingers the Bud 3 would slide out and I would lose the seals and the ambient noise would leak in. Plus the earbuds would be so loose that even glancing up to look at the sign on the subway to check what the next station is would cause them to just fall out. I would've preferred the design of the 3FE or 3 Pros with their rubber ear tips to give the feel and fit I would expect from these premium earbuds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new design is sleek and modern, and the sound quality is a huge upgrade. The noise cancellation works great, blocking out background noise effectively. Most importantly, the call quality is excellent. I'm very satisfied with my purchase from the official store!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI help me sync all my devices together for easy use . Its seamless i listen to my Samsung buds 3 all day long and galaxy AI helps me to jam to music all day long. No connection issues at all. No bugs. Nothing but great sound and music
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Headphones are great, with good, clear sound and decent bass, depending on the fit in your ear. AI is great. I wish they had been made like before instead of with the stem design. Other than that, everything works great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the noise canceling feature, how it comes in and out depending on what's going on around me. The 360 ° sound option is out of this world it's like you're there!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately, I have to say my experience was not so good. I still have them, but they are so easy to fall from my ear and they keep disconnecting.

Hi Ortegita, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3. These earbuds are designed to provide clear sound, smart connectivity, and lightweight comfort. They are open-type earbuds, meaning they don’t have in-ear tips. To start, just place them in your ears. Look at the bottom of each earbud for the L and R markings: insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing outward, and do the same for the L in your left ear. Tilt the earbuds slightly so the microphone at the bottom faces your mouth instead of straight down. You can fine-tune the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until comfortable. Your feedback on fit and connection stability is valuable and helps guide future improvements to better serve a wider range of users. Thank you for your feedback and for being part of the Samsung community. How to wear your Samsung Galaxy Buds3, Buds3 Pro, or Buds3 FE https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003519/
