Amazing sound & quality!
on August 24, 2025
Posted by: Velocity216
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Buds 3 are honestly some of the best earbuds I’ve used. They fit really comfortably and don’t fall out, even if you’re walking around or exercising. The sound is clear with strong bass, but not too heavy, so music and podcasts sound great. Noise canceling works really well—it blocks out background noise when you want quiet, and the ambient mode makes it easy to hear what’s going on around you. Calls are super clear too, and people on the other end say they can hear me without background noise. The battery lasts a long time, and just a quick charge gives hours of use, which is super convenient. They connect instantly to my phone, and the touch controls make it easy to skip songs or adjust volume.

We appreciate your honest insights about the Galaxy Buds3, Owolabi. Your feedback is crucial as we continue to make improvements and changes. We noticed that you've had some challenges trying to keep your buds in your ears without having to adjust them. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type buds rather than canal types, so they do not have earbud tips. All you have to do to get started is simply place them in your ears. 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. It’s important to ensure they are positioned correctly for the best experience with sound and comfort. We hope these tips help enhance your experience. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin

Would not recommend.
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: Micheal
from Atlanta Ga
Expertise:Intermediate
These worked great for about 3 weeks, then randomly started to not hold a charge after 2-3 hours. Kept having issues getting either bud to start charging, would have to remove and reinsert multiple times until finally it would start to charge. Now neither bud will charge and the case light stays flashing red even when connected to usb-c.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3, Michael. We understand how frustrating this must be, and we're here to help you get back to enjoying your Buds3. To ensure optimal charging performance, please use the included USB cable with a Samsung-approved wall adapter, which is sold separately. It’s also important to check that the charging contacts inside the case and on the earbuds are clean and free from any debris. If you're still facing challenges, please take a moment to inspect both the case and the earbuds for any potential damage, as any damage can affect charging. Remember, if one earbud is damaged, the other may still charge. Keep in mind, Samsung offers a 12-month limited warranty for manufacturer defects. If you’d like even more coverage, consider Samsung Care+ for extended protection and additional support on eligible devices. If you continue to experience challenges, please reach out to Samsung Support directly. We're committed to helping you resolve this and ensuring your satisfaction with your Buds3. -Kelvin

Love them except the bass quality
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: Wishfulthinking143
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsug Galaxy Buds daily, and they’ve completely changed the way I listen to music and handle calls. The sound quality is crisp with deep bass, and the noise cancellation works surprisingly well, especially when I’m out in public. The comfort is a huge plus, I can wear them for hours without irritation.
One of my favorite features is how seamlessly they pair with my Samsung phone. With Galaxy AI enhancements, switching between music, calls, and even voice commands feels effortless and intuitive. It honestly makes the whole experience smoother and smarter.I use them for everything: streaming movies, gaming, workouts, and even work meetings. The battery life easily lasts through a full day, and the case charges fast. For the size and price, the performance is impressive.
These earbuds make me appreciate how far Samsung tech has come

Added these to my cart Because they gave me a really good price When I was buying a new watch. Thought I was getting the pro with the rubber tips. But apparently wasn't paying attention. These are okay, they don't stay in the ear near as well as the ones with the rubber tips, and I really don't like how they go back into the case. My older buds pro would self orientate with the magnets, but these You have to fiddle with them too much. They have to fit perfectly to go into the case. Sound quality is good, about what was expected. Nothing great or really bad about them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3, Jake! We truly appreciate your candid feedback. We understand that you were expecting the Buds3 Pro, but it's important to highlight that the Buds3 offer a unique design that sets them apart from our usual buds with tips. We assure you that they are still an excellent choice for an immersive audio experience. When using the Buds3, don’t forget to check the bottom for the directional L and R marks to ensure a perfect fit. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you and the L bud into your left ear. Adjusting them is simple—angle the blade slightly to point the microphone towards your mouth, and feel free to rotate them until they’re just right for you. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. We’re always here to help! -Kelvin
