    ’ll get right into it with no intro. These definitely deliver on bass, right off the bat. I’d confidently say more than my Beats Studio3. These are specifically designed for metal, but they do sound great with most other genres of music (with proper EQ settings) Speaking of EQ, I read that this is how to get the best sound out of these headphones. I’m using an iPhone and I’ve found that both the Rock and R&B settings work the best with these headphones. Both deliver plenty amount of oomph without sacrificing treble, and they also filter each sound in the music nicely.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Galaxy Buds3. Our goal is to ensure that our customers have the best experience possible. The Buds3 features audio tailored specifically for you, allowing you to enjoy exceptional sound quality no matter how it fits in your ears. The Adaptive Equalizer, powered by Galaxy AI, adjusts the sound based on how you wear your Buds, so you can immerse yourself in audio while on the go. We’re glad to hear you are satisfied, but we understand your concerns about keeping them in place. Since the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds without tips, simply check for the directional marks labeled L and R, insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. Angle the earbuds slightly so that the microphone points towards your mouth, and adjust the fit by rotating them until they feel comfortable. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at Support. -Kelvin Samsung

      Greetings Foslix, thank you for finding the unobstructed time out of your bustling 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. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support if you would like any further assistance after reviewing the resource shared. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra Samsung
