Upgraded from original galaxy buds. Am enjoying the ease of choosing the buds settings on the connected app as opposed to relying on the touch areas on the buds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works fantastic overall and the sound and mic are crisp and clear. The transparency is beyond anything I've ever experienced and I'm genuinely shocked when I take them off. It amplifies everyday sounds while keeping it pleasant. It works perfectly with Galaxy Ai and the Samsung ecosystem. It also transitions perfectly between my S20 ultra phone and my Tab S9 without issues.
The volume is easy to control as well at the toggle between different modes. The fit is the only part that I don't completely love. Even with the different tips it doesn't fit perfectly snug. I bought some custom tips for the perfect fit. When it comes to gaming and low latency, these buds are amazing as well. Picking up all audio easily such as foot steps and the direction of the other players. The app was my personal favorite as I could customize every aspect of the sound, from big Bass sound, to podcast voices. These are a perfect add on to your Samsung devices.
Earbuds sometimes doesn't charge and would need to be adjusted 4-5 times before it would recognize the buds are in the case. Extremely annoying as these are pretty expensive buds, I would expect everything to work perfectly out of the box. Sound quality is good though if you can overlook the horrible charging case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Alan. We understand how frustrating it can be if your earbuds aren’t charging or turning on properly. If one or both of your Galaxy earbuds are having trouble, it could be related to the earbuds themselves or the charging case. Sometimes, using a charger that isn’t approved by Samsung might lead to this situation. To help, we recommend fully charging the case, checking the earbuds for any visible damage, or restarting the earbuds. If that doesn’t do the trick, we’ve included a helpful link below for more troubleshooting steps. If you still need assistance with this or anything else, please reach out to us at Samsung Support. We're here to help! -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10000013/#samsung-earbuds-dont-charge smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
A big price tag for Bluetooth headphones that only is good for is listening to music or movies. Using for talking is non existent. Every phone call taken on my buds no one can hear me.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. We understand that communication is just as important as enjoying music and movies. If you're having challenges with call quality, please check the battery status of your earbuds. If the battery is low, charging them can make a difference. You can monitor the battery level conveniently through the Galaxy Wearable app. Additionally, it's important to inspect your earbuds for any build-up of dirt, earwax, or debris, especially around the microphone. Regular cleaning can significantly improve sound quality. Make sure to check the air ducts and speakers to ensure they’re clear as well. You may also want to examine your earbuds for any physical damage, like a cracked case or any loose parts. For more detailed troubleshooting options regarding the sound quality you’re experiencing on calls, please refer to the link provided. Should this persist, we encourage you to reach out to us at Samsung Support for further assistance. -Kelvin https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01111323/#:~:text=If%20your%20Galaxy%20Buds%2C%20Galaxy,Samsung%20earbuds%20using%20a%20computer smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
