Previously, I have been using the Galaxy Live Buds. They always hurt my ears so I rarely used them. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are AMAZING!!! They are so comfortable. The automatic switch of noise cancellation is a game changer. When I play music, I feel like Im at my own personal concert. Very pleased with my new buds! :)
1. The fit and comfort of the Buds3 is much better than the Buds2. Moving the bulk of the charging, touch control, and microphone hardware to the stem improves the fit dramatically. You can also easily lay down on your side while wearing the Buds3 where-as the older version's buds protruded too far and put pressure on the skull.
2. Moving the touch control to the stems and introducing two-finger controls makes accidental inputs far less likely. On the Buds2, you could easily brush against the single touch pad on the bud and start/stop media but on the Buds3 you have to put both your index finger and the thumb on the stem and press with your thumb.
2a. I've seen some criticism about the touch controls being hard to use but it just comes down to muscle memory. Press or swipe with thumb while bracing with the index finger on the direct opposite side of the stem. The only way you can have it fall out while using the controls is if the fit is bad or you're putting the index finger on the wrong surface. You can put both fingers on the triangle portion and it will register but... why?
3. The audio quality is a different level than the Buds2 Pro, personally. Maybe with the large bulk of the earbuds, the Buds2 Pro didn't fit all that well but the Samsung app said the fit was fine, but if you thought the Buds2 Pro was too tinny these Buds3 Pro should fix that. The bass extension is very satisfactory with full mid-range out of the box.
3a. The earbuds come with a 9-band equalizer with 20 steps per band to tune to how you see fit.
4. The ANC quality is also massively improved over the Buds2 Pro. The Buds2 Pro would barely reduce mid range sounds like AC fans but on the Buds3 Pro they are inaudible. Overall the Buds3 Pro ANC is on par with high-end full-size headphone ANC if not better.
5. Gaming mode appears to work well to reduce latency. If Samsung introduces a SSC codec dongle for the PC, I would use it for gaming. Come on Sammy, do it.
6. I'm getting about ~6 hours per charge on the buds which is about as advertised.
7. Don't use the official case protector, it's a trap!
I love the look and design of the buds themselves, the case and the new features. They stay in my ears better than the previous model and that's the most important reason for the 5 star rating.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro offer a compelling audio experience with notable improvements over their predecessors. They feature enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that effectively reduces ambient noise, making them ideal for both commuting and quiet environments. The sound quality is impressive, with clear highs, rich mids, and a punchy bass that appeals to a wide range of listeners.
Design-wise, the Buds3 Pro are sleek and comfortable, fitting securely in most ears without causing discomfort during extended use. They also come with multiple ear tip sizes to ensure a good seal. The battery life is solid, providing up to 8 hours of playtime with ANC on, and up to 29 hours with the charging case.
Connectivity is robust with Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring a stable connection to devices. The touch controls are responsive, and the integration with Samsung's ecosystem offers seamless features, such as automatic device switching and voice assistant support.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro are a strong choice for those seeking high-quality audio performance and effective noise cancellation in a compact, comfortable design.
Phone calls with the buds are BAD. The other person can hear all the background noise but me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
