Overall, really good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the style and the weight is perfect. I also like the controls a lot. I also like the ANC.
The only two down sides have been that they do slip a little when working out. I also did have the flashing red light charging issue. But I was able to get that fixed.

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

Worst Earbuds ever
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: EarBuds User
from Oregon
Expertise:Expert
If you like listening to AM Radio from another room than these are the Earbuds for You. I'm honestly very disappointed in the Buds3. Would give negative stars if possible. I traded my Buds2 in for these which I really liked the 2s for fit and sound but the left one kept dying. The change in design for the 3 was a poor choice. The 3s do not stay in your ear with the slightest movement and in order to get a decent sound from them you literally have to apply constant pressure on them into your ear. In trying to return them I keep getting dropped by the chat program. I was going to give the Buds3 Pro a chance but now I'm done with Samsung for Earbuds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

An Honest Review
on September 24, 2025
Posted by: Galaxy1Fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1- The Galaxy Buds 3 marks a pivotal shift for Samsung, adopting the stem-style design for enhanced functionality. This change delivers two major improvements: significantly clearer voice call quality (due to better mic positioning) and a refined, comfortable fit (though consistency depends heavily on individual ear shape).
2- For users in the Samsung ecosystem, the Buds 3 are an excellent choice, offering seamless features like the high-quality Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC) and integration with Galaxy AI (e.g., Live Translate).
3- While the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is effective and a noticeable improvement over past non-Pro models, it does not quite reach the industry-leading performance of some competitors. Similarly, non-Samsung users will miss out on the full suite of proprietary high-fidelity and AI features, reducing their overall value.
4- A strong upgrade for the Samsung faithful that nails call quality and ecosystem features, but less compelling for those demanding best-in-class ANC or using non-Samsung devices.

GREAT AUDIO AND AI FEATURES!!!
on September 24, 2025
Posted by: Spacememe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my Galaxy Buds 3 on the daily! They offer great sound and I love the integration of Galaxy AI. The live translation feature is incredibly helpful and I use it almost everyday at my job. I also really enjoy the haptic feedback of sliding up or down on my Galaxy bud to change the volume. Great product!! Thank you Samsung!
