The Buds3 Pro earbuds have awesome features and sound/call quality. The adaptive ambient sound with automatic volume dampening is very helpful, and call quality while commuting in my noisy vehicle bests any other set of earbuds I have owned previously. However, none of the ear tips provided seem to create a seal secure enough to keep the earbuds from sliding out of the ear over time, indicating room for improvement in design.
The Buds+ design achieved a great balance between sound and a secure fit, and while the Buds Live provided the ultimate experience with a secure fit, they leaked too much sound and did not provide the best listening experience unless you prefer the live (true ambient sound) experience they were designed for. Perhaps incorporating the rubber wing-like piece found on the Buds+ with the design of the next Buds Pro might be an improvement.
Additionally, the squeal upon touch that appears seemingly by random with the Buds3 Pro is truly upsetting. Some users have noted that it only happens when touching the microphones, but I have tried avoiding the mics and have still experienced this unsettling and harsh noise.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase, and hopeful that Samsung will continue to improve upon their earbuds and achieve an even better product next time around. Improved battery life would also be appreciated, but I recognize the tradeoff when you have adaptive and/or automatic features available and enabled.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I own both the galaxy pro 2 and pro 3. The sound on the new pro 3 is much clearer and has deeper separation. It has an equalizer which is a big plus for the pro 3. I also enjoy the voice commands available in the pro 3. The adaptive sound is very helpful specially when Im walking or exercising with my wife. I find the pinch control very convenient and easy to use. It has a lot of new tech features like the auto switching / connection to 2 samsung devices. But I must emphasize that this feature only works with Samsung devices. I have 2 issue with the pro 3. The first is the clumsy design when you return the earbuds to its base. The second is the ANC on this new buds is not as good as the pro 2. The difference is small but I would expect a newer model to be better.
