Good while it lasted. The left earbud blew out after 5 months of almost daily use. Thankfully I have the warenty on it. While they we're functional, they we're the best earbuds I've owned. Great sound quality, good battery life, noise canceling worked well, easy to use, and comfortable. Only complaint is they had a tendency to slowly slip out of my ears as I moved around. Had to push them back in place a lot to avoid them falling out. Good earbuds overall, not perfect and definitely overpriced. Average rating because they should have lasted much longer than they did. Get the warranty if you buy these.

Hi there IsaiahL, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us about your experience with using the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. We appreciate your honesty as we strive to provide the best products with superior functionality on the market to our customer. It's important to wear your earbuds properly for many reasons. You'll get better sound quality from them, they'll fit more comfortably, and they'll stay in your ears. Wearing them improperly can cause discomfort, sound leaks, and makes them more likely to fall out. As you know, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro come with different sized ear tips. The first thing you want to do is make sure they have the right size tips for your ears. You want them to fit so that there isn't a gap between your ear and the ear tip. This helps to avoid sound leaks and ensure optimal audio. Once you have the right tips on your buds: 1. Check the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks. You will see an L and an R. 2. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you. 3. Insert the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. 4. Angle the blade slightly so that the microphone on the bottom is pointing towards your mouth rather than straight down. 5. You can adjust the buds by rotating them forwards and backwards until the fit feels right. You can also run an earbud fit test in the Galaxy Wearable app to ensure you have the proper fit. To run an Earbud fit test, 1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected phone. 2. From the Buds3 Pro screen, tap Sound quality and effects. 3. Tap Earbud fit test. 4. The screen will display either In ear or Not in ear. Make sure both buds are in your ears, and then tap Start. 5. The buds will chime for a few seconds, and then the app will display your results. It may say Poor fit or Good fit. If the fit is poor, make small adjustments and then tap Try again. 6. Continue running the fit test and making adjustments until you get a good fit result for both buds. If you would like more information regarding fit, feel free to check out "How to wear your Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and 3 Pro." If you have any questions afterward or if you would like any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to Support. Thank you for being a valued Samsung customer. - Debra

They sound good. They fall out easily. They're difficult to put back in case. They're not loud enough for me but I do have some hearing loss. There's no app for setup on control. I only use them for watching TV at night so I don't disturb outhers so I've never used them for calls. They charge wirelessly which is cool. They're not worth the $150 price tag. I would not buy again.

Open box in Excellent condition photos on Best Buy website showed nothing was missing. The box had the wrong ear buds tips inside. I had to order some ear tips online. Other than that they are good earbuds

I wanted to love these earbuds so badly. However, they fall out of my ears so easily. I've tried all the different size pieces included, and they still fall out. The sound quality is amazing when they are in, but if anything passes over my ear, whether it be my hood, my hand, or even no movement and I'm just sitting there they pop out. I really liked the ear buds live but they've been discontinued and this was my replacement but I barely use them because they always fall out. Thankfully I got them on sale but it was still a waste.

The Galaxy buds produce good sound. However, the build quality is disappointing. Two noticalble flaws i have noticed are the brightness of the LED bar on both earbuds are not the same. The left earbud dimmer than the right earbud. It is very noticeable when compared side by side. The second flaw is the charging connection. There has been a couple of times where my earbuds do not charge with nothing obstructing the connection. Quick solution is to clean the case and earbuds thoroughly. I personally would not spend $250 on these again.

I like the product and the sound quality is great. I am returning the earbuds because it is a bit bulky, and it keeps slipping out. I am afraid I would easily misplace them. Other Samsung earbuds were smaller and had a better fit. I think more colors would be a great idea with the previous earbuds.

Well, I was really hoping for more out of these Samsung - Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless Earbuds... The good: Very nice design and a high quality look and feel. The sound is OK (more on that later), but not really any better than several of the other higher-end ear buds I have used from the TIN program. It was also brilliantly easy to pair with my Samsung Galaxy S 24. I already had the Samsung Wear on my phone for the Galaxy watch so apiring it was as simple as opening the lid for the Buds case. It immedialtely alerted to my phone and I accepted the pairing and I was up and going. The Wear app has some nifty features including ANC setting, Sound quality and effects, Earbud controls, Earbuds settings and Find My Earbuds. Each of those is pretty self explanatory so I won't go into specifics. The touch controls in the "blades" work well and are a pretty cool feature but not really any better or worse than others. OK, so now the "bad": I am used to (and really, really like) being able to manipulate my earbuds with one hand when removing and replacing the buds bacl to the case. The way these buds and the case are designed, when removing and repllacing the buds, you need to turn them about 180 degrees... I do not llike that. I don't understand why they designed them that way. I know this is probably just a personal thing, but it's worth noting. Secondly, and again I realize this also is a "me" thing, but even with the largest eartips, they don't feel like they fit well. And to add to that conclusion, when I run the "Fit Test" from the Wear app, they also conclude that it's a poor fit. O know, my big-old man earholes are not most peopes concern, but for us bigger folks, it is dissapointing that the fit negates some of the ANC. more. End of the day, they are OK, but for a premium earbud, I would expect

Here is the earbud journey: Bought an S25 Ultra phone. Then I bought the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. At first, I thought everything was great. The Buds3 are comfortable, they sounded fine, the ANC was ok, and the app was easy to use. I could never get the right ear to fit well though. The large ear tips were not big enough. Thing I liked the most was controlling the volume by just saying volume up or volume down. The touch controls took a while to get used to, especially the pinch settings. Then I just got curious about the JBL Tour Pro 3. So, I bought them. I prefer the JBL’s to the Galaxy Buds. Everything is better. The JBL’s come with extra-large ear tips that make the seal. The app works well, and the case is cool. The case is large though, but I do not care about that. The ANC was way better than the Galaxy Buds. The touch controls are not as customizable as I would like. Then I got curious and bought the Technics EAH-AZ100. First, trying to pair the earbuds to the phone/app was a pain. It took me about 30mins of trying over and over. I almost gave up and then it just worked. The fit is great. Like the JBL’s the Technics also come with extra-large ear tips. So, the buds are comfortable and do not feel like they are going to fall out. The app is not as user friendly, in my opinion, as the JBL app. The touch controls are good and easier to hit consistently as the surface is bigger on the Technics, or at least easier to hit. When it comes to sound. I am not a super audiophile and cannot tell you about the technical aspects of the sound. I set the phone to the same sound level and set both the JBL Tour Pro 3 and Technics AZ100 to a flat EQ. Used Tidal and played Alan Walker “Faded.” The Technics are way louder and more detailed. Listening with the JBL’s, the same song at the same phone volume sounded lower and muted. Then listened to a bunch of different songs. I am sensitive to the high frequencies. The JBL and the Technics do not sound fatiguing to me. The Technics just sound louder and more detailed. The bass is also bigger and cleaner on the Technics. I am sure people who know about EQ can get the results they want with either earbud. So, I will use the JBL’s for hikes and stuff and the Technics when I am at home and really want to listen to music. Sorry, Galaxy Buds. But the Galaxy Buds are cheaper and if they fit your ears then give them a go.

These could have been even better. Fantastic sounding earbuds for music, almost as good as flagship Sony WF-1000XM5, however there are drawbacks as most of the innovative features are hidden behind owning the highest end and newest Samsung Galaxy phones. Take those features away, and you are left with earbuds that are good overall, but not worth the somewhat expensive asking price considering the Sony flagship buds do not hide their features to certain users, and have superior build quality in my opinion. Setup of the earbuds right out of the box is pretty easy, at least if you do not have to swap out the incredibly delicate ear tips. It seems they come out of the box with the M size tips installed, and S and L tips in the box next to the included USB-C charging cable. I personally did not have to change the eartips but you can tell they are very fragile. Follow the included directions very carefully to ensure you don’t accidentally rip them. The (ANC) noise canceling, providing you get a good fit, is pretty good, though again, it is not as good as other older earbuds at this price point. Call quality and mic pick up in my testing was great however, and everyone I spoke to said I sounded great, and even when walking down a busy street with traffic they told me they couldn’t hear much of anything but my voice. Luckily one feature which was not left for only top tier Samsung phone devices, is the built-in voice control. Want to stop music… just say out loud - Play Music, Stop Music, Next Song, Previous Song, Volume Up, Volume Down, Answer Call, Reject Call - all of these work great. It is a little weird to get used to, but I think this is awesome (so long as no one is around me). Controlling media otherwise is all done thru the stem on the earbuds if you do not want to do it directly on your phone itself. At first it is very tricky to get used to even putting the buds in, as if you happen to put your fingers over certain parts of the buds, it will make a very loud squeal in your ears. However after a few hours of getting used to where and more importantly where NOT to hold them on insertion, the loud squealing in the ear buds very rarely happens to me now. It is some kind of audio feedback loop that seems to cause this. I also randomly heard this squeal while playing music once. Not sure if it was some kind of dropped bluetooth connection to my Google Pixel 8 phone as it was 30 feet away when this happened. You can also just use the pinch and slide physical controls on the stem, though for me it was a little hard to get used to the pinch controls, though luckily my personal most used control on the stem is just sliding up or down to raise and lower volume, and that feels very natural for me. Pinching requires multiple “pinches” depending what you want to do, but it just didn’t feel right to me. I would much rather just use the voice controls or the phone itself. The charging case on the Buds Pro 3 is made of some kind of plastic made to look like it is metal. The case door also doesn’t have as strong a closing magnet as most other charging cases at this price point I have used. The case is also very prone to scratches, which I guess Samsung must realize as they also sell their own case for the buds 3 pro case. I personally don’t think this is a huge deal, but at least I would have liked to have had a nicer stronger magnet for when you close it. I am always a bit afraid that the case will open up and the buds will fall out if it happens to get loose in my jeans pocket. It hasn’t happened to me, but I can see it happening as that magnet isn’t all that strong. Ok.. and here is my biggest gripe with these earbuds considering the price point. The most innovative and unique features are all hidden behind using not only Samsung Galaxy phones, but the newest Galaxy phone at that. The missing features are Interpreter mode - which will listen for foreign language and pipe back in English for you, enhanced audio quality modes over bluetooth, and this one is the one that literally even some much cheaper earbuds offer is multi-point audio. That is right, there is no multi-point audio unless you are on certain Galaxy devices. This means you can only actively be paired to one device at a time. I use earbuds on more than one device at a time, most notably on my laptop and my phone. I cannot do that with these. So, I have to just stick to one at a time, and when I want to change devices I need to move to that other device and that is that. For example, I could be watching a movie or show on my laptop or TV, but I will not get notified if I got an email or text on my phone, or an incoming call on the phone. So, I need to ask someone to hold on as I go to the phone and pair it to talk to them for example. Like I said I have earbuds that cost less than half of this that have multi-point pairing and this just doesn’t sit right with me given the high cost of these earbuds. Now, the audio quality on these earbuds is really fantastic, especially after setting up some custom equalizer settings. I listened to all kinds of music and there was nothing I didn’t like hearing through these earbuds! They just sound great! They sound close to as good as the Sony WF-1000XM5 in my opinion. Bass is very strong for these and I just need to say these are probably the strongest bass you can get out of earbuds, even the WF-1000XM5 in this case. There is a feature that I also like quite a bit which is called Voice Detect (you can turn it on or off in the Galaxy Wear app). That Voice Detect feature detects if you are speaking it will lower the music to a very low level. Ok, so for me personally, I wanted to like these a lot more than I do. They sound fantastic, and I can live with the somewhat generic stem style look of these, but given that so many features, most notably that multi-point pairing is missing unless you are on certain Galaxy phones, it is a tough sell at this price point. I think there is more value with other options in this price point that sound just as good. However, if you happen to have the latest Galaxy Phones, this is one of your best options.

They have a decent sound, they have a good selections of features that are practical. I wanted to keep them because i bought the Samsung galaxy S25 ultra, Galaxy watch ultra and Book5 pro. But they never worked as inwas expecting. One earbud keep disconnecting from the Book5 and sometimes they were connected but there was not sound coming out. My big complaint is that I could not get them to stay in my ear. They keep falling down. I could not pass the fit test with none of the rubber tips. I order second ones to see if there was something wrong with my first ones. So I could never use it as I was afraid of losing them. I ending returning then and buy a Bose earbuds Quietcomfort Ultra, better sound and stay in my ears. The idea was good but performance not great. I will try the next generation. If you do not pay the full price go for them if they stay in your ears.

I waited to do a review of these because i wanted to make sure i could be honest. I love the sound quality noise cancelling being the original reason i bought them. I accidentally dropped these out of my pocket a month a go in the parking lot of my barbershop to my suprise when i noticed and tracked them back they had been run over they had a few dings and scratches on the case, but they still worked the same as when i first bought them. I went about three days straight without charging them listening to them at work on and off through out 8 hour shifts.

Pros: It looks exactly as pictured, and easy to connect. Cons: slips out of ear often, and the sound is not as loud.

Aloha BrittanyH, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. It's important to wear your earbuds properly for many reasons. You'll get better sound quality from them, they'll fit more comfortably, and they'll stay in your ears. Wearing them improperly can cause discomfort, sound leaks, and makes them more likely to fall out. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro come with different sized ear tips. The first thing you want to do is make sure they have the right size tips for your ears. You want them to fit so that there isn't a gap between your ear and the ear tip. This helps to avoid sound leaks and ensure optimal audio. Once you have the right tips on your buds: 1. Check the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks. You will see an L and an R. 2. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you. 3. Insert the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. 4. Angle the blade slightly so that the microphone on the bottom is pointing towards your mouth rather than straight down. 5. You can adjust the buds by rotating them forwards and backwards until the fit feels right. You can also run an earbud fit test in the Galaxy Wearable app to ensure you have the proper fit. To run an Earbud fit test, 1. Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected phone. 2. From the Buds3 Pro screen, tap Sound quality and effects. 3. Tap Earbud fit test. 4. The screen will display either In ear or Not in ear. Make sure both buds are in your ears, and then tap Start. 5. The buds will chime for a few seconds, and then the app will display your results. It may say Poor fit or Good fit. If the fit is poor, make small adjustments and then tap Try again. 6. Continue running the fit test and making adjustments until you get a good fit result for both buds. If you would like more information regarding achieving the perfect fit, feel free to check out "How to wear your Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and 3 Pro." If you would like any further assistance afterward, please do not hesitate to contact Support at your earliest convenience. Thanks for being an unwavering Samsung customer. - Debra

I normally use AirPods Pro with my iPhone, so I thought to get the Galaxy Buds for the live translation and dual connection to watch movies in bed. We didn't get there. The audio quality is good, not great; but the deal breaker was the fit. The buds would fall out of my ear with the slightest movement. My AirPods fall out if I jump around, so I can't exercise. These I couldn't even stand up without losing them. I also had connectivity issues to my LG TV and the volume was low and did not work. For the price, these were named Pro, but they missed the mark by a lot.

Hello DanielS, thank you for taking the time to share your sentiments with us about your experience using the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. You can connect Galaxy Buds3 Pro to an iPhone via Bluetooth for basic audio, but the core AI translation features require a compatible Samsung Galaxy phone and its Galaxy AI, as the processing happens on the phone, not the earbuds themselves.

I've had three generations of the Galaxy buds. The first was a step in the right direction they were comfortable stayed your ear while running not so much when working out. The second had a more ergonomic design that was made to fit better in the ear. As well as be better for working out but same call quality issues where I sounded muffled because the noise cancelling always over compensated. While this new iteration is a blatant copy of the airpods. The first six months of owning them I've no complaints of the call quality I've had. I sounded clearer and working out with them has been better and worse. It honestly feels like the battery last forever. The only issue is that now I notice that the wear on the batteries is much faster. Which is a bit disappointing actually. I bought these on a day I thought I lost my buds 2, while I am highly impressed with everything so far with these redesigns six months into owning these, the mic quality is still shotty where someone can barely hear me when there is sounds in the background and who knows maybe I need to clean my mic but the battery degradation and the mic quality going down from the life of these being faster is unacceptable.

I would love to give these a higher rating. I bought it first as Geek Squad Certified, and had to bring them in because of charging issues. First, the case would intermittently stop charging wirelessly. Also, the buds would lose charge in the case. I switched to New condition at the store. It still has the issue of losing connection in the case. This is bad when you put them in, they light up, hours later , one may still be at 10% other at 100%. Yes, there is a wearable popup, but it's easy to miss. I did not have this issue with Buds 2, 2 Pro, or FE. They had a different design. It spoears the connection issue may be connected to the buds having a little stem on the, as the charging point. This seems a common issue in reviews/complaints about this product. There are positives, certainly. The sound quality is excellent for calls and media. The battery life surpasses the Buds 2 Pro. Controls on the stem are better than those on the earlier designs. Also a pesky connection issue has not been as noticeable. Even Buds 2 Pro with Galaxy S24 Ultra, while fine walking and talking, would break up when playing media when walking around the neighborhood. Buds 3 Pro has been more consistent. I would like to score this higher, but having the in-case charging interrupt often makes them not as reliable. I knew putting previous Buds models into the case would charge both wvenly. Hopefully Samsung can improve on this design in the next iteration.

Good earbuds and only reason I got is they recognize one earbud and will automaically switch to mono audio. Design is too techno for my taste and more of a flex than practical. Battery life is a downfall for all day use as I use mine all day. I think the buds 2 did alot better for design and usefulness. If looking for sporadic use these will work but definitely not all day use.
