Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Sounds great, good features, looks neat, a bit bulky tho

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.

Love the sound quality and the comfort. I also like the design and the color. It breaks away from other Samsung earbuds before it. I also really like the LED light down the side. I love the fact that they will transfer co

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.

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.

Good earbuds. Fit well. Good sound. Good battery. Easy pairing

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.

I'm an iPhone and Android user new to iPhone, connecting headphones that are not. Ipods is very challenging, but these Galaxy 3 pros are awesome. They connect flawlessly to iPhone as well as very easily to Android superior sound. And is very easy to use. Stylish clean well, built excellent battery. These are the best earbuds on the market in my opinion.

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

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.

The case is a big improvement over the pro2s and the battery life is excellent. With a little work the sound is solid, but you have to utilize the equalizer to really get the most out of them. Main issue I ran into is the stock ear tips never really fit in my ears well. $15 on Amazon got me some foam tips that solved that problem. The waterproofing/dust resistance rating are true and they work even in rain or heavy sweat workouts. Some of the fancy settings like 3d audio and head tracking feel gimicky and don't really add to the experience, but maybe someone will find a use for them.

These earbuds are excellent! The sound quality is crisp with strong bass, and the noise cancellation works surprisingly well. They’re very comfortable for long listening sessions and fit securely in the ear. The case is compact and charges quickly, and battery life easily lasts through the day. A solid upgrade that makes music, calls, and workouts so much better. Definitely worth it!

I had already the previous buds, buds 2. And these are even better the design, the sound and the connectivity is great. Quick and easy.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offers excellent sound quality, active noise cancellation that works well, and comfortable and secure earbuds for long listening sessions. I love the good battery life; the new design is a plus.

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.
