    I would consider these headphones to be the best headphones in the world. I wish that Best Buy didn't discontinue them, but they are available for purchase on other websites.

    As many reviews have stated, the fit is bad and will fall out of ears so I won't recommend these for, running, jogging or working out. Get the Pro3 buds, they have tips so they can fit the comfort of your ear. Sound is amazing tho.

      Greetings Branden, thank you for finding the time out of your day to share your sentiments with us about your Samsung Galaxy Buds3. Your feedback is appreciated as we strive to be innovative and improve the design and functionality of our products. Our goal is for our customers to feel like they are having the most ideal experiences while using our products. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty on our products for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. If you're wearing your earbuds properly, 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. No one wants to lose an earbud, especially while out jogging, so be sure to wear them with the proper fit. Being that the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type buds rather than canal types, so they do not have earbud tips. All you have to do to get started is simply place them in your ears. 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. Feel free to check out, "How to wear your Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and 3 Pro" if you would like more information regarding fit. Please do not hesitate to contact Support afterward if you would like to share any other feedback with us or if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung

    Great pair of earbuds. They sound great and while the ANC isnt the best given they don't seal in your ear, they surprisingly do reduce more noise than I would of thought

    I wanted to love these Buds. I went ahead and ordered because the Buds Pro 3 was backordered. Boyyy do I regret it. They literally do not fit in my ear. So disappointing.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Galaxy Buds3, Chelley. From phone calls to listening to a new playlist during your morning workout, the Samsung Seamless Codec retains high-quality streaming across devices with up to 24bit / 96kHz audio. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type buds, meaning they do not have earbud tips like canal-type earbuds. To get started, simply place them in your ears, checking the bottom of each earbud for directional marks—an "L" for the left bud and an "R" for the right bud. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the "R" facing you, and insert the L bud into your left ear with the "L" facing you. Angle the earbuds slightly so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth rather than straight down. You can adjust the buds by rotating them forward and backward until they fit comfortably. If you need any further assistance with this or anything else, please reach out to us at Support. -Kelvin Samsung

      Thanks for sharing your honest review of the Galaxy Buds3, Eric. Enjoy amazing audio quality no matter how your Buds sit in your ears. Adaptive Equalizer with Galaxy AI tailors your sound based on how you wear your Buds so you can enjoy immersive audio while on the go. We always appreciate hearing how our customers feel about our products. If your buds have no or low volume and poor sound quality on one or both buds, there may be a couple of reasons why. You might be wearing the earbuds incorrectly, or the buds could have accumulated dust or debris. Additionally, the audio quality could be affected by outdated software, a low battery, and several other things. Samsung offers a 12-month limited warranty for manufacturer defects. We also provide the option to add additional coverage with Samsung Care+ on eligible devices, which offers extended protection and additional support. Check out the link attached for options to help troubleshoot this. If this persists after doing so, please reach out to us at Support so that we can take a further look into what could be causing this. -Kelvin Samsung

      Thanks for sharing your feedback of the Galaxy Buds3, Kevin. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to make changes and improvements. The Galaxy Buds3 offer an impressive audio experience with several standout features. They provide immersive sound quality, enhanced by an Adaptive Equalizer that adjusts audio settings for optimal listening. The new design not only looks appealing but also supports high-resolution audio streaming, ensuring clarity and depth in sound. Wearing earbuds correctly is essential for several reasons. Proper usage enhances sound quality, ensuring a better listening experience. It also contributes to a more comfortable fit, allowing for extended use without discomfort. Additionally, correctly fitted earbuds are less likely to fall out, which is particularly important during activities like jogging. On the other hand, improper wear can lead to discomfort, sound leakage, and an increased risk of losing an earbud. Therefore, achieving the right fit is crucial for both enjoyment and practicality. The Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type earbuds, which means they do not include traditional ear tips. To use them, simply place the buds in your ears without any additional setup. Each earbud is marked with directional indicators, L for the left and R for the right, ensuring correct placement. When inserting the earbuds, make sure the R bud is positioned in your right ear and the L bud in your left, both facing towards you. For optimal microphone performance, angle the earbuds slightly so that the microphone points towards your mouth. You can further adjust the fit by rotating the buds until they feel comfortable. Again, we appreciate your candid feedback and hope this helps! If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Support. -Kelvin Samsung

    Wind noise overpowers noise cancelation

    Wind noise, even during a gentle breeze, is not handled by noise cancelization. Annoying when outdoors.

      Hi JPofGTOWN. We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest feedback about the Galaxy Buds3. To ensure that Active Noise Cancelling functions properly with your Galaxy Buds Pro, it’s important to wear the earbuds correctly. If they do not fit snugly in your ears, their effectiveness may be reduced. Make sure the earbuds fit tightly without any gaps. Additionally, verify that the ear tips are properly installed. The latch at the bottom of each earbud should align with the groove of the ear tip, and the tip should completely cover the latch. If you’re still looking for an improved fit, consider trying larger ear tips. Samsung products are covered by a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship. You also have the option to purchase additional coverage with Samsung Care+ for eligible devices, which provides extended protection and extra support. If this continues to be your experience, please be sure to reach out to us at Support so that we can further assist you. -Kelvin Samsung
