The Galaxy Buds Pro 3 are decent, but I preferred the sound quality of the Galaxy Buds Pro 2, which had better bass. While this isn’t necessarily a downgrade, it doesn’t feel like an upgrade either.
i upgraded from the original buds+ to these. the buds3 definitely have more features but they are highly uncomfortable. i would prefer the older design but i realize that the mic position was not great. ill will use my older buds until they finally give out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

They're okay. Falling out of my ears sometimes. People can hear me much better than through Galaxy Buds Plus but when I'm recording a video, low wispering noise can be still heard on the background.

Hi Walt! Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. It’s always great to hear from our users. We’re glad to know that you find them better for voice clarity! If you’re experiencing discomfort with the fit or that they sometimes fall out, we recommend trying different ear tips. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro come with a variety of sizes to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, which can greatly improve both sound quality and stability during use. Additionally, ensuring that you are properly placing them in your ears can make a significant difference. A snug fit not only enhances sound performance but can also minimize any background noise you may notice while recording videos. Regarding the static noise issue, we suggest keeping your earbuds and the connected device updated with the latest software. Restarting or resetting your Galaxy Buds can also help clear out any minor concerns. To reset them, you can follow the guide in the Galaxy Wearable app, which will help you restore them to factory settings. We want you to have the best experience possible with your Galaxy Buds3 Pro, so please give these tips a try! Your satisfaction is our top priority.

These buds are just fantastic! They pair so well with the new S25 Ultra. I really enjoy how the AI integration, particularly the translation, plays directly into the ear pieces. Everything else .. the clarity, noise reduction, call quality, and everything else is just great. Highly recommend
