I've used a lot of earbuds in my life but none as good as these, not even Bose! I tested my son's pair and liked it so much I went out and bought two pairs! The best feature for me and my wife is how it works with the S24 Ultra's translation app. We travel to places where Arabic is mostly spoken, and this little gem allows you to hear translated conversations in real time. It is not 100% accurate but mostly so. Next is the sound quality and man is it really good! I can listen to movies on the TV in just about perfect clarity and with deep base tones. The bud's ability to connect to two different BT devices, e.g. phone and TV, ensures you will not miss the grandkids calling you in the middle of a movie. Finally, comfort. The bids are so light and fit so well that I have literally walked out the front door, to the car and started the engine before noticing I forgot to remove them. They are THAT comfortable.

Fits in ear well. Battery life is good. Looks sleek. Sound quality is great.

At this point I think I've lost count of the number of wireless earbuds I've had over the years, but I've had many, ranging in price from super cheap to very expensive, and I have to say that the Galaxy Buds3 Pro are easily, and I mean EASILY the best quality in terms of sound I have yet used. But it's not all rainbows and butterflies, they do have one glaring issue, so allow me to discuss. Packaging: Super simple, just a small black box with the earbuds inside their charging case inside, cable, and a few extra ear gels. Nothing to write home about here, pretty standard, in fact minimal mightbe correct, but I'm ok with this. Fit: I put them in with the default medium size ear gels in place and they fit perfectly. In fact I was almost immediately blown away at this point, but I'll discuss more in a minute. I put them in, they turned on, noise cancelling engaged and I knew something special was happening. Setup: As with most Samsung products these days, particularly if you have a Samsung phone, they showed up immediately on my device as ready to pair. I still see this as a weird security concern, especially when I'm sitting in hotels and the TVs are all trying to pair with my phone, but be that as it may, it's their thing, I don't love it, but maybe some do. They popped up, paired and installed without any hassle, so at least that's good. Use: Here's where things get fun... As I stated in the fit section, I put them in and was blown away... Now what exactly in the fit of a device can blow someone away. Well, in putting in one, then the other, since I simply removed them from their case they turned on, and immediately engaged the active noise canceling. I will say that this is BY FAR the best noice canceling I've ever used on any headset. Now I'll admit I haven't used commercial grade or studio grade devices much in this arena, but for a consumer device, these immediately shocked me. I was instantly in a silent bubble and I was very pleasantly surprised. I popped up some music and was transported. The sound is full, the base is shockingly responsive, and again, being in your own little sound isolation bubble as markedly good as this just adds to the whole effect. They are superb, they sound great and the ANC is just next level. So what's wrong with them? If you're in the market for excellent sound with excellent ANC, then these are it, bar none, at least in my experience. The one downside though is the charging case. In a word, it sucks. It looks cheap with the clear smoke plastic cover, and when putting away the earbuds themselves, since they have the long 'stick' that hangs off of them as so many do now, you have to insert it down into the case, well the plastic cover gets in the way and the magnet is so strong that the earbud snaps down to the case while you're still trying to align the stick. Since the stick is slightly triangular in shape, it really only goes in, in one way, so you're fighting with trying to put them back in the case. There's no quick in and out with these like I've experienced with literally every other set of earbuds I've ever used, expensive, cheap, any. This case sucks. Why didn't I remove a star? Because the sound is just that good. You might think when compared to audiophile brands they wouldn't be able to hold a candle, but I'll tell you definitively, I took these out and put in one of those audiophile brands and there was no contest, these were better, and I mean by a lot. Volume, ANC, sound quality bass response, all of it was better. I probably SHOULD mark off a star just for the awful case, but I find it hard to do so when the earbuds themselves do what the earbuds should do, and extremely well. Do I recommend them? Yes. If I could get them with a completely different case, would I? Absolutely. Maybe if Samsung releases a galaxy buds4 pro next year they can address this, because it really is that bad.

Here is my honest review about this ear buds (i come from using airpods for at least 3 years). I gotta say the airpods are better than this earbuds (and I hate to admit that to be honest, I'm a long term user of android, I only changed to apple for about almost 4 years). The buds 3 pro are not bad persay, they are pretty decent, they do have good sound, i did compare them to my airpods and yes, airpods do cut out outside noise better than the buds 3, the ANC on airpods quite frankly works WAY better on the airpods than on this buds as well. So. I am slightly dissapointed on that. I haven't had issues with calls so far, buttons work, I haven't had music stop on me, and most of all (which happened super often with my airpods and it was VERY annoying), my buds currently do not disconnect from my S25 ultra. Battery wise I cannot say much cause I haven't really given my buds time to die, but i probably should to rest how long they last. I barely got them, so i guess i should charge then for now and then wait throughout the week to see how they hold up. Built wise, i don't believe they feel cheap, they feel almost like my airpods, i like them, the case I also like, it feels well built. Sound on the buds, i can't say it's bad, but i also can't say is amazing. I think the airpods 2 pro are still better, it has slightly better sound than the buds 3 pro. As a matter of fact, I believe my beats studio even have better sound than my buds 3 pro. The only reason I got my pair was due to the features the buds come with together with the Samsung phone, it's just to make my life a little easier. I did end up returning my first pair and it seems like this one is a bit better. I also wanted to take advantage of the discount and my $10 reward, so at least i didn't break the bank too much with this discounts. Overall they are good earbuds, just not the best in my personal opinion. Airpods 2 pro unfortunately still sound better, but can't be used on S25 ultra like I'd like to. Hopefully software for the buds 3 pro can make the sound way better and the ANC better cause even if it doesn't suppose to mute the world outside, i definitely cannot hear ANYTHING with my airpods 2 pro, to the point that someone had to tap me to get my attention. That's the type of ANC that I want, on the buds 3 pro, I can still hear the outside world, even if slightly; and i dont want that. I'm trying to block the outside world to be able to concentrate on what I'm doing. I used to be able to do that with my airpods with no issue, so i hope the buds 3 pro gets a software that can do that exactly. Overall, like I said, good earbuds. Maybe not worth $250 so if possible, get them when they are on sale. I saved myself around $75 which is not too bad.

Been using these for a while and they are the most comfortable earbuds that I've used. They have a really long battery life with a great design and the quality is amazing.

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.

I purchased these to accompany my new Samsung S25+. I recently switched from iphone and have been extremely happy with the s25. I was made even happier when I purchased the new Buds3. They shoot the airpods out of the water across almost every consideration. The sound quality is impeccable, the fit (in my ears at least) is snug and does not fall out, the noise cancellation is first in class, and finally, I personally find them to be more aesthetically pleasing than airpods or other buds currently on the market.

Bought these earbuds to replace my Buds 2 Pro. The fit is better than the previous model. Audio is clear and connectivity has been good to my phone, home laptop and work laptop. Only issue was connecting to my ipod. Audio comes and goes. Battery life has been good for usage.

First of all, the quality is apparent in these earbuds. The case and the buds themselves look nice. Although the case consists of shiny “metallic” plastic and the lid is clear plastic, both of which seem like they would show scratches easily. Still, I always put my buds in a protective sleeve to keep them looking like new., so this is not an issue to me. The buds are even labeled with red and white stripes so that you can identify the right from the left. I am sure that it is no coincidence that it uses the same colors that were common on RCA plugs on audio equipment in the last millennium. There is a USB-C charging jack on the bottom, but the case also features wireless charging, which is very convenient. The phone that I tested these earbuds with was a Google Pixel 8a, which is fairly recent. Upon opening the buds, I was NOT automatically prompted to pair them, but had to go through the usual manual pair process. The manual suggests that the pairing process is much more automated if you are using a Samsung phone, but no such love for users of other brands. After pairing, they just worked, although the controls were not obvious. It seems that the “Galaxy Wear” app is needed, and it would have been nice if a note to that effect were included in the box. Still, once you download the app, everything becomes clearer. The stems of the earbuds feature a button area that you can push, or you can slide your finger up or down the stem to control the volume. Once you know how to do it by consulting the instructions in the app, the controls are easy to use. But the real test of audio equipment is how it sounds, and these sound great. I prefer a nice balanced sound, and these buds deliver. However, if you prefer something different, there is a customizable nine-band equalizer! This is a GREAT feature for those who prefer a different sound for different use cases; bass-heavy for music, boost the mids for podcasts, etc. The other standout feature is the noise canceling, which works very well. You can turn it off, have it on (with variable strength set through the app), use “adaptive” where it turns itself off if you speak or if a siren is detected, and the final setting is “ambient sound” where the external microphones pipe the environmental noise to your ears so that you can maintain some awareness of your surroundings. Finally, the manual suggests that there is a live translation feature that will allow you to understand other languages. However, it would appear that this is only an option on Samsung phones, as I could not find a way to enable it.

I give this 5 stars. 1. Fit and feel. They fit quite nicely and do not fall out of my sweaty ears unlike many other earbud brands. 2. Sound Quality. This is definitely better compared to the Buds 2 Pro. I still maintain the same EQ customization that I'm allowed with the Buds 2, but I will note this buds noise cancellation and base are not as heavy (my preference) compared to Sony's variants. 3. Touch controls. Personally I really like the sort of "clicky" feel that the buds give me. It was a bit weird at first using the stick-extension, but after a while it feels seamless to me. No more accidental touches stopping my music. 4. Solid battery life W/ANC on. I commute nearly 2 hours a day to a downtown area and I usually need to charge my buds every... 3-4 days depending on usage? I am pretty good at maintaining a charge for my equipment, however so others may not consider this worthwhile. I'll also note that much of my equipment is Samsung based, so the integration these have with them just make things easier to manage/maneuver overall. I can only really spout two negatives. One with an initial hiccup with pairing to my Samsung Galaxy S22, though it was akin to the initial pairing issues the watch has when pairing through the wearable app. Two, I had to wait an extra month to get these. Solid pick overall.

These things are great. I was worried about the angular shape but it's real comfortable. Noice canceling is great, battery life is great, its just, great. NOTICE: one thing to be fully aware of is the ear tips. If you'd like to replace them, thus changing their size, be careful not to rip them, they can be delicate. I recomend looking at multiple youtube tutorials on how to remove them properly. Try not to use your nails and wotnot. But anyway, they're amazing, I normally have the lights off but you can keep them on if that's your thing.

I purchased these for my guy because his old ones i could hear what he was listening to and he could hear me. What a fantastic difference! He loves his new Samsung earphones. They are so comfortable he sleeps with them in.The battery lasts a long time and he is able to fully engage into his music and podcasts without background noise. These are a must have!

Great snug fit no issues, sounds crisp & clear. Blocks/controls outer noise. Features advanced sounds. Great battery life,awesome quality. Totally worth purchasing very pleased no complaints overall great product includes one year warranty.

very confortable to wear, good sound and pertty good batery life. the only thing os that after using them for a work out make sure you let them air dry before putting them in the case

i mostly use them for work or riding my motorcycle. it provides great sound quality. Comfort is decent as long as they correctly fit. and the battery life is awesome. can ride or work majority of the day without recharge.

These are the pair of Samsung Buds Pro I've been waiting for since the first generation, which didn't fit well. The second gen did feel slightly better but uncomfortable after an hour or so. These, however, fit perfectly and feel good in the ear. Great actually. Sound is greatly improved and the incremental update to the noise cancellation is welcomed. Also, the equalizer works well and has various modes which work great with the corresponding music types. All other aspects are a nice improvement over the Buds2 Pro and the battery life is a noticeable improvement too. The touch features on the stems work flawlessly and are a great addition. Case feels really well made and looks great too. I would have preferred the same type of rubberized covering from previously, however, not a big deal. Altogether, a win for this pair. I am really glad that they completely redesigned them. It was time for something different.

Sound Quality - 4/5 Although the quality is excellent, i feel that i got similar (if not better) soundstage separation (especially in the mids) from Sony's Linkbuds. Sound is obviously subjective so your mileage may vary. The highs are clear enough but bleed into the mids a bit. The bass and subbass is not muddled and thumpy as it should be. The 8 band EQ helps mitigate this and should be standard from everyone. Fit & Functionality - 4.5/10 These headphones fit very nicely and comfortably in my ears. I have worn them from 100% to 0% with very little fatigue if any. These are not meant for running. For casual gym goers (weightlifting and mild cardio) it will be fine but these aren't meant for strenuous exercise. I love the touch capabilities especially compared to my previous Linkbuds. ANC - 7/10 Coming from Sony (the leader in ANC) it's apparent that Samsung has room for improvement. It's not bad ANC, in fact the ambient mode is quite good. However, it does not block out as much sound as my previous linkbuds. Overall - 4.5/5 A great pair of IEM's. Great EQ options, Soundstage is decent for the price. Fits great with 3 eartip options. ANC is decent but doesn't excel. Touch capacative buttons are a joy to use as well as the tactile buttons. If you're a samsung user (as i am) you'll find that these are a superb all-round earbud. Are there better sounding ones? Of course. Are there some that you can run in? Sure. But for a general use case, they are excellent. Try to find them on sale and you'll not regret it.
