Bought these specifically for the auto translate feature but what samsung doesn't tell you, at least without digging, is that the function only works on the new flip and fold models. Why they wouldn't include the s24 ultra on that list is beyond me. Any Bluetooth headset will work with the interpretor app but again for the passive listening mode you have to have the newest folding phones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the new Buds3 Pro, I used them for a 3 mile run and they were perfect in my ear. Love how I can listen to my music an also be aware of my surroundings with the ambiance mode. I realized that while running they stayed in place which was perfect. I like how i can put the volume up or down without having to take out my phone. The new Galaxy AI is cool and I am still learning to use it but, it can be really useful like with the buds.
The buds3 pro look beautiful. The silver is what I got and it looks and feels very well built and expensive. The sound signature is very well balanced with clear highs and mids and a powerful, crisp ,punchy baseline. Love the equalizer adjustments in the app where it gets even better. The blade lights are a sick flex tbh. Overall battery life is solid with anc on. The ANC is very good with it blocking out literally everything around me and transparency is amazing it’s like I’m not even wearing earbuds. No robotic noise with the transparency at all. I highly recommend these buds to anyone wanting a great and reliable pair of ANC earbuds with powerful sound quality. Samsung knocked it out the park with this one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Buds3 Pro offer a premium audio experience that's hard to beat. With their sleek design and impressive sound quality, they're a great choice for anyone looking for top-notch wireless earbuds. Sound Quality The earbuds deliver rich, detailed sound with a balanced frequency response. The bass is deep and punchy, while the mids are clear and articulate. The highs are crisp and bright without being harsh. The active noise cancellation (ANC) is excellent, effectively blocking out background noise in most environments. The transparency mode works well, allowing you to hear your surroundings without removing the earbuds. Design and Comfort The Galaxy Buds3 Pro have a comfortable fit thanks to their ergonomic design and multiple ear tip options. The earbuds are lightweight and secure, even during intense workouts. The case is small and portable, making it easy to take with you on the go. Features The earbuds offer a variety of useful features, including wireless charging, touch controls, and voice assistant integration. The battery life is good, providing several hours of listening time on a single charge. Overall The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are a fantastic pair of wireless earbuds that offer excellent sound quality, a comfortable fit, and a variety of features. If you're looking for a premium audio experience, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro are definitely worth considering.
Pros and cons compared to other buds I've had, including the Buds 2 Pro:
Pros: - Sound is really good for a large variety of music and podcasts. UHQ codec does make a difference for services that can use it, but the non high-res stuff is good enough for me. - Transparency mode is really good. Speech detection is also helpful. ANC is also great in my opinion, but I don't think I've ever had what people consider the best of the best in this regard, so take that for what it's worth. - Wasn't sure if I would like the stem controls, but they work better than the touch controls on older models. Very rarely do I make misinputs when fiddling with the earbuds. - They don't fall out of my ears easily when I talk or chew food. Fit is probably different for everyone, but every other set of earbuds I've tried have had this problem.
Cons: - I don't really get the point of adaptive ANC. It just doesn't work well in whatever noise level I try it in. - weird stem shape makes it hard to get used to controls, but admittedly became a non-issue after some practice. Might not be for everyone, though.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the upgrades. They aren't the most comfortable buds I've had, but they come close when I get the position in my ears just right (definitely better than the Buds 2 Pro). No QC issues that some people have noted on the interwebs. Battery comes close enough to what Samsung advertises, idk I don't keep track. They just last as long as I need in one sitting. Blade lights are pretty cool too, I guess.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy Buds 3 Pros are AMAZING! I use mine paired with my Galaxy S24 Ultra for home use, and Galaxy ZFold 6 for work. Everything from the sound to the call quality is top tier. The redesigned case charges the Buds quickly so the down time is minimal.
I use the Galaxy AI live translation feature for work, and it has been a game changer for me. The seamless translation of different languages right into my ear makes conversation with ESL clients feel more natural and inviting.
I also go for walks at night, so when I do, I turn on the LEDs on the Buds for an added layer of visibility. Samsung truly thought of everything when they designed this product, and I can not wait for my Galaxy Watch Ultra to come in the mail!
