[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The buds 3 are with me all day, and they're just wonderful. Its fit on the ear is ideal and the lightness is very noticeable. The audio quality is very high, with well-marked basses but without losing that audio quality. Also the fact that they are including Galaxy AI much better use than you can give it with free hands daily.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The audio quality is superb. The sound profile is rich, balanced, and vibrant, making every genre of music shine. The bass is deep and present without ever sounding muddy, and the highs are crisp and clear. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a powerhouse. When you flip it on, the world just melts away. Commuting on a busy train or working in a noisy coffee shop becomes a private, peaceful sanctuary. And for those times when you need to be aware of your surroundings, the Ambient Sound mode is so natural it feels like you don't even have earbuds in. But what truly makes the Buds 3 a five-star product is the Galaxy AI integration. Using the Live Translation feature is revolutionary for travel and business—it's fast, incredibly accurate, and works seamlessly through the buds. The Adaptive EQ ensures the sound is always perfectly tailored to your ear and environment.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI is very useful. Fitting on buds is not greatest, they do slip tend to slip a bit. Sound is great and the sound cancellation works better the the buds before.
Didn't like the fit & the controls on them were difficult to use they were returned for me my old galaxy buds 2 fit better & continue to use them
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, We appreciate your feedback on the Galaxy Buds3. The design has been reimagined for a sleeker look and improved control experience while maintaining Samsung’s signature premium sound quality. Your comments about comfort help us continue to enhance how each generation of Galaxy Buds fits naturally into everyday use—balancing innovation, comfort, and style. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds rather than canal types, so they do not have earbud tips. To get started, simply place them in your ears. Check 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 insert the L earbud into your left ear with the L facing you. Angle the earbud slightly so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth rather than straight down. You can rotate the earbuds forward and backward until the fit feels right. Please see the article linked below for more tips on achieving a good fit with your Galaxy Buds3. Thank you for your feedback. We value your presence in the Samsung community.

The features and sound quality were nice but the buds barely lasted a year before the sound stopped working in one of them. For the price paid, it was not worth it and I don't consider myself a heavy user. Prior to this i had less expensive earbuds that lasted for almost 5 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Galaxy AI, everything is great of the galaxy buds, the only thing I may have a problem with is with its size, a little bit to big for my ears, when I smile or change facial expressions it tends to get lose, but it's good in music, sound, battery life and everything
