More solid connection than Buds2 Pro. Noise cancellation still need some enhancement to compete. Build quality can be better and the angular stem needs time to adapt as it is not as comfortable as round stems.
I really don't like the use of stems on ear buds, and these are very hard to activate capabilities

Only reason it's got 2 stars is the call audio quality. The background noise is significantly cut down. Ive been a fan of galaxy buds for quite some time now. These Buds 3 Pro are an absolute disappointment. The battery life doesnt come close to what they claim. 3 hours of playback if you're lucky. The eartips are a horrible design. The rubber is so paper thin, I knew they would fail eventually. Well when they did fail, it wasn't from yanking on the awkwardly to actually change them out. No it simply split apart from PUTTING THEM INTO MY EAR. An utter disappointment. Do better Samsung

The sound quality is good but is not worth the headache that comes with the battery life on these things. I have had every generation of Samsung pro earbuds and these ones have to have A HALF TO A THIRD of the 2nd generation pro earbuds. Why not just charge the case you say? And that's a great point.... as long as you never ever unplug the case. You know that old laptop you had that would run out of power and die 5 mins after you unplugged it from the charger? That's exactly how this case feels. 2 nights ago I charged my case up to full. Yesterday, I use the right earbud at work for about 4 hours and it dies. Okay, whatever. I put it in the charge and use the left earbud to finish up the last 4 hours of work (yes, they will not last you an entire work day) After work, I don't really think about them and leave them in the case all afternoon. That same night, I went to use them on my PC only to find that the right earbud charged about 18% and the left one had not charged at all. The case doesn't even give ONE FULL CHARGE OF EACH EARBUD.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The sound is phenomenal, however the shape is annoying. I'm not sure that they need the sticks to be as long as they are. When I'm at the gym and try to use my shirt sleeve to wipe some of my sweat off my brow, my arm always catches the stick and dislodges the earphone. It has fallen off twice now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgrading from my Galaxy Buds2 to the new Buds3 Pro has been a fantastic experience. The first thing I noticed was the lightning-fast connection. The moment I open the case, they instantly pair with my phone, which is a huge convenience boost. The audio clarity is a major step up. Everything sounds crisp and rich, with a powerful bass presence that makes my music more immersive. I’m hearing details in songs I've listened to for years that I never noticed before. The Galaxy AI integration is also a key feature. It works seamlessly in the background to optimize sound and noise cancellation based on my surroundings. This allows the earbuds to automatically switch from blocking out street noise to letting in ambient sound so I can have a quick conversation. It even enables real-time translation features, which is incredibly useful. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are a significant upgrade in every way—from the quick connection and outstanding clarity to the seamless integration of Galaxy AI. They're the perfect companion to my phone and have completely elevated my listening experience.
