Build quality is less than desirable. Bluetooth connection fizzes out when earbuds are in and phone is in back pocket. Ear buds do not properly stay in ear. Sound quality is extremely nasal sounding and not at all an improvement from previous generation buds.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Design is ok... I don't see what others complain about. Overall great sound, but I think that Galaxy buds 2 Pro had better bottom end. Miss and highs are great.
Basically Samsungs version of the Airpods Pro but Samsung is superior in every way. Quality sound and functions, definitely one of my better purchases for earbuds
The Buds3 Pro earbuds sound great and they have a better fit in my ears than the Buds2 Pro earbuds did. My favorite new feature is the new ability to use voice commands with these earbuds. The only issue I encountered was that occasionally my voice commands were misinterpreted as just speech, causing the earbuds to erroneously lower the volume temporarily instead of obeying my command. I assume that this issue will be resolved soon in an upcoming software update for this new product.
I really like these. I'm not someone that has tried everything either though. I have the buds 2, which I also love, and have used lots of cheap earbuds and Raycon everyday earbuds. Samsung is way better than Raycon Imo. So far the buds 3 have been great for me. I love the sound. I think the noise canceling is better than the buds 2. I haven't had them die before I was ready to charge them. I watched lots of videos about them. I see the concerns but they really don't affect me. I would only want the pros thought. I like having the tips. I wouldn't want earbuds without tips. So in conclusion, I think they're great.
I was worried with some early quality concerns at launch, but I received a great pair in Sept. 2024. The bass and fit in the ear are something to write home about! If you are on the market for an upgrade from the buds2 pro, this design seemed edgy online. But once you feel them, they are a major upgrade. Thanks Samsung!
