A Great First Step in a New Direction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the title suggests, there is a lot to love about the new buds. Although, these come with some slightl growing pains. The seamless actions across apps are spectacular, with the new widget helping to provide valuable information and helpful controls. While I have not been able to review the new changes in OneUI 7.0, I have heard good things. Now, about those growing pains: the new form factor has a bit of a learning curve, and doesn't feel quite as intuitive or as responsive as the previous buds. However, I'm sure with a revision or two, and a touch of Samsungs's software magic, that the new buds will become a sensation, even if they need a little more time in the oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Buds3 Pro are an absolute game changer. I previously owned the original Buds and the Beats Studio Buds, and I can honestly say these blow them out of the water. The different modes (especially the noise canceling mode) are easily accessible and work wonderfully. The seamlessness of utilizing these within my Samsung ecosystem (I own an S25 Ultra and a Tab S10 Ultra) makes life so much easier. Physically they are a lot more durable and the quality of the product just feels better designed. I typically can't leave earbuds in for too long without experiencing pain, but I can use the new Buds3 Pro for hours without even feeling uncomfortable. The only downside is they do not come with different sized rubber pieces for different sized ears, but honestly that is a very small downside for the amount of awesomeness packed into such a small device. The audio quality is amazing. Samsung has managed to completely eliminate the slight static noises I was constantly hearing in older models or in other companies earbuds. This is truly a revolutionary product that I strongly believe will stand the test of time and is worth the investment!
Not happy. Samsung did not tell me the battery life was only 4-6 hours. I thought I was buying a premium product. For the price you would think the batteries would at least last 10 hours. Don't waste your money on these. They do work great. Just not for long enough.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Charles. We noticed your concerns regarding battery life, especially when you rightfully expect more from your buds. It's important to note that the Galaxy Buds3 Pro can provide up to 26 hours of playtime per charge, which can be extended to an impressive 30 hours with a fully charged case. To help maximize battery life and ensure they last when you need them most, we recommend a couple of adjustments. First, be sure to keep your earbuds in the charging case with the cover closed when they’re not in use, and consider adjusting your notification settings through the Galaxy Wearable app or the Galaxy Buds app for iOS. These small changes can help you get the most out of your earbuds and enhance your overall experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope these tips make a positive difference! If you have any further questions or concerns, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin 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

Hey Carlos! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3 Pro! We're excited to see that you find your Buds 2 comfortable, as comfort is a key aspect of our design philosophy. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are crafted with a secure fit in mind, featuring multiple ear tip sizes to ensure a snug and pleasant experience for everyone. To get started, make sure you have the right size ear tips for your ears; they should fit snugly, preventing gaps between the ear tip and your ear to avoid sound leaks and ensure optimal audio quality. If you need help changing the tips, please refer to our guide for the Buds3 Pro tips. Once you've attached the correct tips, check the bottom of the earbuds for directional labels marked "L" for left and "R" for right. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the "R" facing you and the L bud into your left ear with the "L" facing you. Angle the earbud slightly so that the microphone is pointing towards your mouth rather than straight down, and you can adjust them by rotating the buds forwards and backwards until they feel right. Additionally, utilize the Galaxy Wearable app to run an earbud fit test, ensuring you achieve the proper fit for optimal performance. Once again, we appreciate your candid feedback. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin 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
Been rocking these for a few months now and I have to say, the wait was worth it. These are among the best wireless earbuds I've used. Sound quality is outstanding, Ambient noise modes are great, Noise Canceling isn't great but it works for the most part, and the hardware design, despite claims of copy-paste, works nicely. Love the buds the case. I have to give a four star though because they're not perfect. While they've been almost worked out, the buds have some bugs, like the lights freaking out for no reason when you put them in the case, the noise modes randomly shutting off or failing to turn on, or just random disconnections or battles with Bluetooth. Plus, there's a defect where either bud won't charge when you put them in the case. The phone alerts you when that happens, but at the same time it SHOULDN'T happen. Nevertheless, it's a problem I can live with, but it gives a lack of confidence in their longevity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, first, let me state that I currently have WAY too many earbuds and headphones: Shokz, Bose, G-fits, and OE Fits, and Arctis Nova Pro 7s, and now the Buds 3 Pro. I use them all for different reasons and purposes. I recently picked up the Buds 3 Pro, and I gotta say, I find myself picking them up more frequently than the rest. Great sound, comfy fit, decent noise cancellation and pretty dang good transparency mode. I actually really like the "squeeze" control better than the touch control on my Bose, as I can't accidentally hang up on someone if on a call.
The one gripe I have is that the medium tips are too small, and the large tips are just a wee bit too big, so I constantly have to keep pushing them back into my ears. Other than that, I'd say these are a great set of buds for everyday use.
