Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently got the Galaxy Buds Pro, and I'm thrilled! The sound quality is fantastic, with deep bass and crisp highs. The Active Noise Cancelation is great for blocking out background noise, making it perfect for commuting or focusing at work. They fit comfortably and stay in place, even during workouts. The touch controls are handy, though they can take a little practice. Overall, top-notch earbuds! Sound quality, Noise Cancelation, Comfortable fit Slight learning curve with controls

What a fantastic product super sound working great

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 are the newest earbuds in the Galaxy series by Samsung. I had the original version of these, but the third edition has certainly seen several improvements and adjustments. When I wanted to pair them to my Samsung Galaxy S23+, a prompt came up automatically, asking me if I wanted to connect my phone to them. It must've been through NFC, because I had the buds right next to my phone. The instructions tell you to hold the pair button on the case for pairing, but that was simply not necessary. How amazing is that?! I like the design better than previous generations, as they fit better in my ears (I was never a fan of the silicone tips). The silver color looks great and I like the silver and transparent combination on the charging case, which has a sleek design with a simple LED to indicate if it's fully charged. The USB-C port is on the bottom, which looks a little funny while charging. The case is compatible with the Samsung wireless charger for my phone and watch, which I find super convenient. Battery-wise, I'd say you get about 5 hours of active use, but the ANC will drain it faster. With the case, you're looking at roughly 24 hours of on-and-off use, before needing a charge. The active noise cancellation works really well. It's summer, so my A/C is loud day and night. Guess what?! The noise magically disappeared when I activated the ANC, even without any music playing. It does affect the audio to a small degree, but I love how it works. I'm really excited to have these by my bedside when my neighbor watches loud movies at night! The sound is punchy and balanced, with many EQ presets available in the Wearable app, including a custom EQ. I did find that adding too much of a frequency would lower the overall volume and it didn't behave like the typical EQ I'm used to in a recording studio. I preferred the "Dynamic" EQ option the most, as it enhanced the sound quality to my liking, but I wish the high-end had more clarity. Boosting the high-end with the custom EQ only did so much. I also found the maximum volume to be a bit limited. Maybe there's a law requiring this, but I have other wireless earbuds that are louder. The buds are controlled with finger pinches instead of the typical taps on other earbuds. This works most of the time, and I do like not accidentally tapping them and pausing the music. Overall, this is an excellent upgrade of the Galaxy Buds, and I will certainly keep these in my pocket when traveling for whenever I need to hear my favorite songs without the background noise. They also look really stylish and the charging case is just the right size. Definitely a winner!

I loved my headphones, they are very practical, they handle very well, the delivery service was very fast, I recommend Best Buy 100% thank you

I love it. Purchased this product is one of the best choice I have ever made.

*** Summary *** The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 earbuds are pretty good and easy to live with. They’re light and very comfortable in-ear, and the sound quality is pretty good, too, with decent bass and clear vocals. I especially like the IP57 rating since I run with them, and I tend to sweat a lot. Gesture controls and the associated haptic feedback work very well, and AI features such as Interpreter and Listening Mode have been fantastic for translating languages I don’t know. Due to the open-ear design, active noise cancellation (ANC) isn’t superb, but it’s good enough for most scenarios. Overall, I think Samsung has created a good product with good value. I recommend it, especially to Samsung phone owners. _____ *Pros: -Easy to slip in and slip out. -Light and comfortable. -Secure fit, great for runs. -Great sound quality. -Easy-to-use app with lots of customization settings. -Dust and water resistance (IP57). -Gesture controls are reliable and responsive. -Neat app features, such as Interpreter and Listening Mode. -Decent noise cancellation for an open-ear design earbuds. -Decent bass with clear vocals. _____ *Neutral: -The noise cancellation is just okay b/c of open-ear design. -Battery drains relatively fast. _____ *Cons: -No Samsung Galaxy AI features without a Samsung phone. My experience with the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has been mostly very positive. The buds and the charging case both have a premium look and feel, and the buds are light and very comfortable in-ear. I like that Samsung has switched things up and adapted the stem or “blade” design. Due to this change, more gesture control options have been opened up, and they work responsively and predictably. You pinch the bottom section of the stem or blade to play/pause media, double pinch for next track, and triple pinch for previous track. Swiping up and down the blade controls the volume. When you use the pinch option, you hear a clicking sound to let you know that the gesture has been registered. With the Samsung Wearable app, you can customize what pinch-and-hold does, and I set the left earbud for toggling ANC, and the right earbud for launching voice control. The pinch mechanism can also be used to answer and decline phone calls. When it comes to sound quality, I’m satisfied and happy with it. The app offers several equalizer options such as Balanced, Bass boost, Smooth, Dynamic, Clear, Treble boost, and custom. For my listening needs at the office and workout runs, I tend to use the Dynamic setting, and it’s been good enough for me. To my pleasant surprise, the bass is actually pretty decent, and the vocals are clear and crisp. I still own the older Samsung Galaxy Buds2 and Google Pixel Buds, and these Buds3 are definitely better in terms of ergonomics, sound quality, and app options. Speaking of the Wearable app, Samsung offers many useful features. Inside the In-ear detection section, I activated the feature to switch phone calls to the phone when both earbuds are removed from my ears, as well as pausing media when one earbud is removed. Other nifty features include a neck stretch reminder, seamless device switching mode (among devices signed in with Samsung account), and the Gaming Mode that reduces audio latency. One of the major reasons I chose to get the Buds3 is for the ANC feature. Due to the open-ear (non-sealed) design, the ANC will not be fantastic, but it does work and it’s definitely better than not having it. I extensively tested the ANC function at the office where I have some noisy coworkers nearby, and it masked almost all the noise, such as the clacking sound of my neighbor’s keyboard and the loud voice of a lady on phone calls two rows away from me. When there is a pause in the music, I can hear them clearly, but as long as the music is on, their noise is mostly masked and outside my attention. If the Buds3 utilized a sealed in-ear design, the ANC would’ve been even more effective, but for open-ear buds, the ANC is quite good and effective. The other major reason I went for the Buds3 is for its IP57 certification, and the buds have held up to expectations. I don’t sweat too much when biking, but I sweat profusely when I go on my runs. Thanks to the IP57 rating, my buds stayed dried and kept on pumping out quality music into my ears during exercise. An unexpected bonus I liked from the Buds3 was its AI feature that performs quick language translations. The Interpreter app is only available on Samsung phones, but it does a fantastic job translating among many languages, such as Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. In total, 23 languages are supported. As for phone call quality, people have been telling me that my volume is good, my voice is clear, and I sound natural. Some did say, though, that they detected just a slight bit of echo. I only have one slight complaint, and it’s the battery life. The battery drains pretty quickly, and they won’t last being on during the entirety of my 8-hour work shift. The charging case extends the longevity of the buds, but the charging rate is not that fast. Overall, I’m quite happy and satisfied with my Galaxy Buds3. I love the light and comfortable fit, the decent ANC, and responsive and useful gesture controls. The sound quality is good, and I truly enjoy listening to music on them, especially during my runs. The battery endurance could be better but at least the charging case offers multiple top-ups. So, are the Buds3 worth the coin? I think so, and I would recommend them to family and friends. I rate them 4.5 Stars.

I’m absolutely loving the Samsung Galaxy Buds3! The design of the case is sleek and futuristic, with a clear tinted lid and a silver bottom half that gives it a modern look. The buds have the same silver finish and feel smooth in my ears. Samsung has really nailed the fit on these. I could easily wear them all day without thought. The case's clear and silver design doesn’t seem to attract scratches under normal use. Of course, like anything else, dropping them might be a different, but I’m careful to keep them safe. The audio quality is outstanding, with crystal clear sound that makes everything I listen to sound amazing. The noise-canceling feature is impressive as well, effectively blocking out background noise so I can fully enjoy my music. The battery life is good, lasting through my busy workdays and beyond. One of the features I really appreciate is how seamlessly these buds connect with my other devices. Moving between my phones and tablet is effortless. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with these earbuds and would recommend them to anyone.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 are a fantastic upgrade, delivering excellent sound quality, seamless connectivity, and a sleek, comfortable design. The audio experience is rich and immersive, with deep bass and crystal-clear highs that make music and calls sound amazing. The improved active noise cancellation effectively blocks out background noise, creating an uninterrupted listening experience. Battery life is impressive, lasting all day with the charging case. The ergonomic fit ensures comfort even during long listening sessions, and the touch controls are highly responsive and easy to use. Pairing with Samsung and other Android devices is effortless, making them the perfect companion for any Galaxy user. Overall, the Galaxy Buds 3 are a top-tier choice for anyone looking for premium wireless earbuds. Highly recommended!

BOTTOM LINE: These Samsung Galaxy Buds3’s are currently the finest earbuds I have every owned. I have used an assortment of wired headphones (cans) since the mid-1960’s, wired sports earphones since the 2000’s, and wireless earbuds for the past four years. The Buds3 fit “my ears” perfectly, are very comfortable, do not fall out, sound incredible, and include unique controls with an application that function without issues once correctly paired to your devices. I must mention before considering and obtaining the Buds3, I performed my “due diligence” and read many reviews. And because these are not designed with assorted sized replaceable silicone “ear tips”, your fit experience may not be as snug or as comfortable. Therefore, Samsung’s Flagship Buds3 PRO’s may be considered the better option for some users. PAIRING: My initial procedure for all Bluetooth devices is to confirm if they will easily pair with my current assortment of mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. And verify they pair and function well without requiring an application to be downloaded. Hey, that just me. The Buds3 were able to quickly pair for all but one of my electronic devices. With the exception being my week old 2024 mobile phone. Tried all the tricks of the trade, including rereading and following the included instructions, but my phone would not recognize these Buds3 for Bluetooth pairing. Now I was able to pair to my phone only after downloading and installing Samsung’s applications. Consequently, just beware you may require the apps to get these connected. APPLICATION: Ok, let me start with, there are actually two applications required for the Buds3. First, you must download and install the Samsung mother “Galaxy Wearables” application. Second, install Samsung’s daughter “Galaxy Buds3 Manager” application. (Trust me, the “Buds3” app will not function without the “Wearable” app.) Again, without these two apps, these earbuds would not pair with my current mobile phone. Only after both applications were installed, would the Buds3 seamlessly paired up. These Buds3 earbuds provided acceptable performance with my iPad and Android tablets without the application for my first day watching movies, videos, and streaming music. I must say, I was fairly impressed without the app. However, after installing the dual apps on my mobile phone, there was a substantial improvement with sound quality utilizing some of app’s options. The 9-band (63-Hz to 16K-Hz) equalizer is really a must have feature being able to tweak (customize) frequencies to your personal listening pleasure. Also, the Active Noise Canceling feature preformed reasonably well reducing background noise and extraneous sounds when activated. So, just install both apps before pairing. RATING: Once again, for my personal use, these Samsung Galaxy Buds3 earned themselves a solid 5-Star Rating. Please recognize that the numerous reviewers may not be wrong with their low overall assessments. I get it, these buds just didn’t fit their ears. Therefore, if you can wait for the Bud3 PRO’s to be available, and are prepared to pay the premium price for the additional features and specs, then Samsung’s flagship PRO earbuds may well be the better option.

It actually has a great sound quality even more when you use the better audio codecs but it should be understood that this open ear design will suffer in noisy environment depending on the fit in your ears, it's a similar experience as the non-Pro Airpods. I have this paired with a Pixel 8 using LC3 codec and it sounds amazing in a quiet room it's a lot better than my Nothing Ear 2024. I like the case design it can stand on its own even upside down, clear part of the case is cool. Fit depends with your ear so you just have to try it out.

I'm in the Samsung Galaxy system, so i was very interested in their new buds and the new design. BTW, let me address this up front... we end users do not give a rat's patootie that they might have copied Apple on some things! My 3 top areas in buds are comfort, sound and features. I've had these for 3 weeks and I've used them in quiet and noisy conditions. I've used them sitting, walking and even running. So I feel like I've put them through the paces. Comfort: these buds must have been specially made for my ears. I truly never feel them. As for stability, they don't move even on my runs. Your mileage my vary, but that's how they work for me. Sound: I usually like the Bose sound signature, which is a warm sound. But after using these new buds, this is my new favorite. Since this is an open style earbud, some allowance must be made for the bass. However, these have bass. Not the sub level, but enough that I truly enjoy the music. Highs and mids sound great, with no harshness or sibilance, even at high volumes. Features: ANC and hearthrough are not very important on these open buds. But as for operations, I love this new form factor. Controlling my music is a breeze, even for volume. And personally, i think they look great. I have the silver and they just blend in nicely. So here's my summary... if I lost these buds over a cliff, unretrievable, I'd go out that afternoon and buy another pair. And I'll probably get the buds3 pro when they're available, for the times I'm looking to close out the world for a while.

These earbuds work really well. The sound quality is clear, the battery lasts a long time, and they are very comfortable to use. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I like the fit. The quality of sound is really good. I use it both for calling and listening to music. I love that you can switch ANC on or off. I like the design. I prefer this over my old airpods. I do have S23 Ultra so the connectivity is really great compared to my airpods. I recommend this.
