Customer Ratings & Reviews

These earbuds might not aim to be the most eye-catching or feature-rich, but they truly shine in the fundamentals. The sound quality is rich and balanced, the noise cancellation is effective without being overly intrusive, and the design is both comfortable and stylish. Highlights: Sound Quality: These earbuds offer a warm, detailed sound that’s perfect for everything from podcasts to pop music. The bass is punchy yet controlled, the mids are clear and natural, and the highs are crisp without being harsh. Noise Cancellation: The active noise cancellation (ANC) effectively blocks out distractions without creating that uncomfortable “vacuum” feeling. You can still hear faint ambient sounds, but it’s enough to let you focus on your music or work. Comfort: The Buds 3 Pro are lightweight and ergonomic, staying secure even during workouts. I wore them for hours without any discomfort. Battery Life: You get a solid 5-6 hours of playback with ANC on, and the charging case provides an additional 15-18 hours. Areas for Improvement: Touch Controls: The touch-sensitive controls can be a bit tricky at times. It takes some practice to get used to them, and I occasionally triggered the wrong command. Call Quality: While the call quality is decent, it’s not the best I’ve experienced. My voice sounded a bit muffled to the other person in noisy environments. Conclusion: The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a well-rounded pair of earbuds that offer a premium listening experience without the premium price tag. They’re not perfect, but they excel in the areas that matter most: sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfort. If you’re looking for a reliable and enjoyable pair of earbuds for everyday use, the Buds 3 Pro are worth considering

I recently picked up the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless from Best Buy, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and crisp highs, making music, calls, and videos so much more enjoyable. The active noise cancellation is impressive and really blocks out background distractions. They fit comfortably and securely, even for long hours of use, and the battery life easily gets me through the day. Best Buy made the purchase experience even better, the manager and customer service team were extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about the product. Their professionalism made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless are the perfect combination of comfort, style, and performance, and I’m glad I got them from Best Buy.

I bought these earbuds as a gift, and the recipient was very happy with them. The sound quality is great, they are comfortable to wear, and the battery life is solid. Stylish design and easy to pair. Highly recommend them as a gift.

These headphones are amazing! The sound is clear and balanced, with deep bass without distortion. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and the battery life is impressive, easily lasting all day. The design is sleek and very comfortable, even after several hours of use. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable, high-performance headphones.

These earbuds have been great so far. Sound quality is clear with good bass, and calls come through clearly as well. They fit comfortably and stay in place even during longer use. Bluetooth pairing was quick and stable, and the charging case is compact and easy to carry. Battery life easily gets me through the day with normal use. Overall, very happy with the quality and performance.

I bought these for my partner because the cheap earbuds she was using kept cutting out and sounded terrible. The difference was immediate. The sound is clear, they connect fast, and they stay connected without random dropouts. She uses them daily for calls, music, and videos and has had zero issues. Comfortable fit, solid battery life, and they just work. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Overview ================================= Samsung is no stranger to trying new things, so after a few years of pretty "normal" looking buds, they decided to do something different for their newest flagship true wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Samsung was pretty creative with its "bean-shaped" Galaxy Buds Live and I'm glad to see them taking some design risks with these new stemmed and angled earbuds. Initial Setup ================================= Love 'em or hate 'em, they do get your attention. First of all, the case has a transparent lid (clear on the white ones, smoked on the silver) so you can make sure your Buds are charging safely. The entire case isn't clear like the ones from "Nothing", but it is a nice touch. I'd prefer a different choice of plastic instead of a smooth, glossy finish, but I suppose the transparent part had to be made of that. I would have preferred a denser plastic so I wouldn't have to worry about scratches. Of course you can charge it via the included cable or with a wireless charging pad. Note that some protective cases can make it a bit difficult to charge wireless, though your mileage may vary. Lastly, there's a dedicated button on the case to pair with other BT devices that you can't fully control, like a gym's elliptical machine. Though similar to Apple's AirPods Pro, the added stems are actually angled for a less organic and more "tech-forward" look. Not only that, those extra surfaces serve a purpose outside of aesthetics. Each stem also houses a small light which is useful for pairing mode, but they also look pretty cool, illuminating a narrow strip down each stem. Each stem is touch-sensitive as you'd expect, with a very intuitive volume control by sliding up and down the back side of the stem. A single pinch controls play/pause, a double/triple pinches will control track forward/back. If you hold down while pinching, you can cycle through sound modes like ANC, Ambient sound, and Transparency). After getting used to the system, I was glad that it "just worked" since touch controls aren't always the most responsive and a delayed tap or pinch can really throw things into disarray. Often, I end up disabling touch controls for ones that are too sensitive or too delayed. I think Samsung got the flat surfaces correct since their touch controls work fine with either stem. Of course, you can customize them as well. Samsung includes multiple ear tips so you can get the right size and there was even quite a "to do" when some of the early models seemed to have some issues with the tips tearing while being changed out. After a brief delay from Samsung, shipments resumed and I haven't heard much of the issue since. I'm glad to report that the installed tips worked great for me, but I did test swap to the large tips and had no issues going back and forth, so it looks like that problem was solved! Make sure you're getting a good seal so you can get the best listening experience. The Galaxy Wear app can help make sure you have a good seal/fit and help you customize your experience. Specs-wise, I was really excited to try these because Samsung went with an interesting dual-driver design. They paired a 10.5mm dynamic driver with a 6.1 planar magnetic driver. I'm familiar with planars from my large over-the-ear headphones (Audeze) and I was very curious to hear how a small planar would perform. Planar drivers are prized for their ability to provide high-quality, low-distortion sound compared to your standard dynamic drivers. As you can imagine, pairing these was a non-issue. I have the following devices that I tested with: Google Pixel 8 Pro, Samsung S23 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Everything paired quickly and easily with the two Samsung devices, as expected, providing the most seamless switching between devices. I was used to this with my older Galaxy Buds+ and the ease of use is still perfect with these Galaxy Buds3 Pro. They are rated at IP57 which means they're dust and splash-resistant, so they should hold up in a gym, but heavy sweaters may need to look for dedicated active buds. If you don't already have the Galaxy Wear app installed, it'd be time to do it now. Performance ================================= First of all, I'm personally not a fan of buds with stems, but these function perfectly and they actually help get them fitted into your ears properly. Also, they didn't stick out nor swivel around like I've seen with some other companies' stemmed earbuds. The silver finish is different from all of my black earbuds and I liked how they looked - with or without the lights! For stat and codec snobs, you'll be both delighted and disappointed. Yes, Samsung's SSC Codec supports high-res audio, but it's limited to Samsung Galaxy devices! Unfortunately there's no AptX nor LDAC which is a pretty big letdown for non-Samsung owners. I definitely would have preferred that they included at least AptX and still reserved their high-res SSC for Samsung devices. ANC or Active Noise Cancellation is great on these modern flagships. I think you could nitpick and say that Sony or Bose's newest models have slightly better ANC, but I don't think there's a clear winner here, nor do I care about splitting hairs on ANC performance. Fans, air filters and a white noise generator (for sleep) were no match for Samsung's ANC. I would definitely rank these Buds3 Pros near the top of the heap for ANC wireless earbuds in 2024. Onto the fun part - the sound quality. When I'm listening to music for fun (shouldn't that be all the time?), I like a warm, maybe bass-forward sound without losing too much detail. Bass and even some sub bass came through clearly without distortion while mid bass and vocals sounded rich and clear. At the top end, treble was clear and sparkly without being sibilant nor harsh. I listen to a mix of music from 80s to EDM to early 2000s trance to Jpop/J-ballads, Kpop/K-ballads, American power ballads/rock and more. Typically I'll switch between IEMs and headphones to get the best experience, but if I had to choose one set of IEMs, these would not be a bad choice at all. Even on a non-Samsung device using AAC, sound was full, rich, and enjoyable even with ANC on. I wasn't (nor will I ever) trying to listen extremely critically but I did compare these to some of my favorite wired and wireless IEMs and these Buds3 Pro are amazingly flexible, regardless of what you're listening to. Since these aren't just for listening, I tested these on phone calls, Google Meet calls, and some test recordings inside and outside the home. I'm very impressed by the sound quality overall and I had to tone down my usual "headset speaking volume" since things were picking up just fine even while walking around outside. A breezy day or talking in front of a fan allowed for some noise to sneak in, but I suspect these will be fine for most anyone's calls. If you enjoy listening to them with ANC on, be prepared to lose some hours of battery life! Rated at about 7 hours between charges, ANC will cut into that by an hour. Most other flagships that the Buds3 Pro are competing with can last a bit longer with ANC on so make sure you have a charger or charging pad ready! Other features ================================= Game Mode can be enabled in the app to avoid the lag or latency that can cost you a win or a loss while gaming. Usually you don't want to play "twitchy" games nor rhythm/dance games over BT, but with Game Mode enabled, I did just that. Since you won't really miss the reduced range while gaming (on your phone at arm's length or less), I'd say it's a worth option. Ambient Sound Mode works as expected without a ton of hiss like some "non-flagship" earbuds. It's supposed to focus on the human voice's frequency range to pick up conversations which it seems to do (along with other sounds like the hum of a refrigerator nearby). If you turn on the "Auto switch to ambient sound", the Buds3 Pro will use Voice Detect and Siren Detect to automatically switch modes. If it hears your voice, it will allow more ambient sound in so you can have a conversation. When that ends, it will turn ANC back on. It can also detect sirens, though I haven't been able to test that. Adaptive sound is supposed to switch automatically between the modes, turning on ANC when you're in a noisy environment and allowing some Ambient Sound in when you're in a quieter environment. I've never been a fan of these automatic recognition and switching (experienced on some other major manufacturer's buds) since they aren't quite accurate enough. Voice controls aren't a feature I thought I'd like, but it was pretty useful in my home office so I could control my music by just saying things like "pause music", "volume up", etc. This was nice, though lazy, if I didn't want to interrupt my typing groove! Conclusion ================================= I haven't had a chance to try out any of Samsung's Pro-line of wireless earbuds and perhaps I'm lucky I had a chance to test these. It seems Samsung really learned a lot in their previous generations (and perhaps from a competitor or two...) and they came out with an attractive new design, great ANC, awesome and flexible sound quality (thanks to their dual-drivers), and a seamless experience for Android users, specifically Samsung users. As a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and S23 Ultra owner, these really are now my go-to earbuds for music, movies and calls. Great sound quality no matter what you throw at it along with strong ANC and a neat new design? What more could you ask for? Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro - an easy 5/5 in my book!

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 3 offer an impressive audio experience with very good sound quality, delivering crisp highs, deep bass, and excellent clarity. They fit comfortably and securely, making them ideal for extended use. A thoughtful touch is the color-coded design for left and right earbuds, which makes identifying them quick and easy. Battery life is long-lasting, supporting hours of use on a single charge, and the tracking feature helps you locate lost earbuds using your device — a very handy feature. Overall, the Buds Pro 3 combine performance, comfort, and smart features into a sleek, user-friendly package.

Pros: Great sound, excellent fit. Many different functions. Battery life is decent (about 30 hours use, total with case charging.) Beautiful design. Cons: Touch controls are a bit wonky due to the touch area design.

I bought these for my girl and she LOVES them!! I've tested them myself (being an audiophile who really enjoys music and music production), and I have to say that these have one of the best sound profiles I've ever heard! The bass isn't the punchiest, but it DOES shine through and it has a beautifully rich low register that makes the lack of pure punch completely worth it. The treble and midrange are mixed very well! Not too (I like to call it) sparkly highs and radio sounding mid-range, but a perfect balance. If you're an audiophile, get them. Great battery life, great functionality with Samsung smartphones, and great ear comfort. Well done Samsung!

Bought these galaxy buds and wasn't sure of the design but loved the way they fit in my ears and the sound quality is great. Stays in place good and can hear everything. The charge also lasts long on these so I can go a week or so without charging.

Ive used Samsung buds since the "beans" so the airpod shape took some adjustment for me. The fit is good sometimes i have to adjust the buds a little but nothing major. One bud will last most of an 8 hour shift and i only have to charge the case every few days. I have had issues with connectivity unfortunately but nothing major enough to warrent a return. The sound quality is solid, though i prefer the sound profile from the gen 2 buds pro over the gen 3. The biggest QOL is how customizable the buds are if you also have a samsung phone. You can create individual EQ profiles per individual app by pressing on the app on your home scree, which for me is absolutely amazing.

This is a review based from a simple user's standpoint. I have not purchased many top-of-the-line earbuds, so keep that in mind from a true technical standpoint. In my opinion, so far so good. They do well pairing with my Samsung S24 Ultra. Getting the hang of the controls took a bit for me to remember (not used to pinching versus tapping). I have small ear holes and these stay in so much better than the Buds2 Pro ever did, which was an enormous perk for me for daily use. The ear pad cushions are a whole connector piece versus just the pad itself, which would likely make it more difficult to replace that size if ever damaged or make any color customization. My husband loves the light-up feature, whereas I prefer it to stay off. The noise cancelation and music clarity are amazing for me. No problems with phone calls. The con is that occasionally when inserting them in my ear or the case it makes a brief screech (like bad feedback on a microphone). I don't know if there's something I'm doing to cause it, or it is just a flaw. I haven't truly test the complete battery life, but I haven't had to charge the case but once since the first charge out of the box. I still very much enjoy them and they are significantly better than the buds2 pro. Overall I consider it a win and recommend purchasing them.

I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and I am beyond impressed! The sound quality is outstanding, with deep bass, crystal-clear mids, and detailed highs. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, the audio experience is top-notch. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is phenomenal—it blocks out background noise perfectly, making it ideal for commuting or focusing in noisy environments. The Ambient Mode is also great when I need to stay aware of my surroundings. Comfort-wise, these earbuds are a game-changer. They fit snugly without causing discomfort, even after hours of use. The lightweight design ensures they stay secure during workouts, and the IPX7 rating gives me peace of mind when using them outdoors. Battery life is excellent—I easily get a full day of use with ANC on, and the fast charging feature is super convenient. The case is sleek, compact, and charges wirelessly, which is a nice touch. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a fantastic investment for anyone looking for premium earbuds with exceptional sound and features. Highly recommend!

The new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro wireless headphones are easily my favorite headphones in my collection. From the moment I first used them I was sold! LIke most Galaxy Buds headphones, once you open the headphone case, your Galaxy phone recognizes them and asks if you want to pair. Once paired, you control them via the Wearbles app. In the app you can control how the headphones react to the touch commands and the noise cancelling functionality. These are all pretty standard but work seamlessly with your headphones. The performance is what really sets these headphones apart. The very first song I played on it blew me away. I feel like the sound is perfectly balanced with crystal clear highs and rich lows. I enjoyed it so much I made my wife have a listen and her eyes lit up! And she is the furthest person from an audiophile. I spent at least a half an hour cycling through songs, feeling like I was hearing them for the first time. The active noise cancellation works beautifully well as they block out like 90 percent of the noise. There is also an adaptive feature that will adjust to your environment. This worked pretty well from what limited situations I was able to use them in. The case is really nice as it has a light gray lower portion and smoke gray top cover. The case chargest wirelessly, which is a must have for any wireless headphone in my opinion. The earbuds themselves are very easy to remove and put back into the case, I had no issues like with a pair of pod pros I own. The touch controls on the stem of the buds are very easy to control. I like that there are no accidental touches like with some other earbuds I own. They make a nice click sound and I always achieve the response I was looking for. Battery life has been great so far and I am always on a full charge as they recharge fully when I put them away between uses. I cannot say enough good things about the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro headphones. I have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of their features and performance. I recommend them to any Galaxy user or anyone else for that matter.

Easily the best earbuds I have tried on in the market. Sound quality and design is consistent across the board. No V shaped audio profile. Very comfortable and snug fit; Whether I am standing and moving, sitting, or laying down head rested against a pillow. Extremely resilient to sweat and water as I have taken them to the gym and outside when it is pouring rain. Case is sleek and compact for easy carrying. Does not sit uncomfortably in your pockets. Touch controls are seriously perfect on these. I wish other companies followed suit on the touch control design. Leaves no room for accidental touches or inconsistent reads.

This item is absolutely fantastic! The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and sharp highs that make music and calls sound amazing. The active noise cancellation is a game changer, blocking out distractions like background chatter so you can focus. They’re super comfortable to wear, even for long periods, and the fit is snug without feeling too tight. The battery life is impressive, lasting hours on a single charge, and the quick charging feature is so convenient. I also love how seamless they are with Galaxy devices. pairing them was effortless, and the touch controls are very easy to use. Overall, these earbuds deliver everything you’d want. top-notch sound, great features, and a premium feel. Definitely worth it!

They are sleek, comfortable, easy to connect. The battery lasts.
