Best fit for anyone who has mild to moderate hearing loss
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
Hear is the thing (get that play on words), one of the greatest features that the Buds 3 Pro offer is the “Adaptive Ambient Sound”. If you wear hearing aids or just have hearing issues the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro downloadable program “Galaxy Wearable” offers a test that you do to base the final sounds produced that are fine tuned for your hearing deficiencies. In addition, they offer a further adjustment as the program offers an additional sound volume adjustment to help with background sounds as a function that lets you adjust for high and extra high volume in the background sounds, which makes it easier to hear for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. They also allow you to boast voices in front of you, while enjoying your favorite tones. At this point, I must say these are features you probably only enjoy if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone as I have not tried these on any other phone types. However, if you have a Galaxy phone, let me continue. I have tried the Buds FE, the Buds 2 Pro, and now the Buds 3 Pro. My wife tried the Buds 2 Pro and now has the Buds FE, which fit her ears the best. I love the fit of the Bubs 3 Pro *, and since I have hearing issues the more expensive advanced speaker system is a must for me. So, we are finally at a point to discuss the sound quality of these Buds. As I stated, I’ve tried all three, and they all sound pretty impressive. When I was younger, I owned all McIntosh tube equipment and used an ESS Heil bi-amplification speaker system which due to the volume I listened at probably now account for some my hearing deficiencies today. With that said, I am amazed with the quality I now can achieve with the Bubs 3 Pro. On the other hand, my wife is so pleased with the Galaxy Buds FE. I have tried many different price levels ear buds, and it depends on your personal taste and standards of excellence. I again want to state how pleased I am with the “Galaxy Wearable” program for the use with most of the Samsung's buds. To round this out, I would like to state that I find the quality of the Samsung Galaxy Ear Buds 3 Pro coupled with there software to be the best fit for anyone who has mild to moderate hearing loss. It my guess that anyone could benefit with these personal adjustments. * I am updating this review with the following suggestions: I did find that on occasion one of the Buds 3 Pro would slip out. I changed over to “Comply” TRUEGRIP Max foam tips and added “Gcioii” Ear Hooks Anti-Slip Covers. Both items are available for purchase via Amazon. Besides the Buds now being snug as a bug, I was surprised at the improvement in the sound quality the TRUEGRIP Max foam tips made. The downside to the ear hooks, is they have to be removed when putting in the charger case. However, they do fit in the top portion of the case for transportation. Also I choose the Gcioii Ear hooks over several other less expensive ear hooks available for the Buds 3 Pro because they show on the outside marking for right and left on the Buds. In addition, I purchased SURITCH Magnetic Bumper Rugged Shockproof Protective Cover with Carabiner & Cleaning Kit & Removal Tool (again, available here on Amazon). It helped, as the original charging case suppled is very slippery and can easily get damaged when dropped. Two items of note with this accessory case, the Carabiner is a great accessory, especially for those of us who already have carry a case to put our hearing aids in when using the Ear Buds. In addition, my wireless charger still worked even with the protective cover on the charger case. ... show more

These are my best buds! (Get it?)
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
Wow, wow, WOW. My only regret in not purchasing the Buds 3 Pro for my Galaxy phone and tablet is that I didn't do it sooner. I've used a few different types of buds, from Echo Buds to highly rated Sony ones, and the Galaxy Buds really deliver for me the best of all worlds. First, sound. Wow! Most buds you can hear, and...that's about it. My Sony ones were terrific. But these offer perfect clarity, good bass response, and a real openness to the music (I'm a vinyl record fanatic, so I tend to grimace at the sound of streaming music through tiny buds...not here). Plus the amazing flexibility in sound control...you have many preset EQ setting to choose from, or you can do it manually to tweak how you like. There are even settings optimized for your age range, and an ability to go through a test of sounds for it to set up an optimal listening experience based on your results. I always test buds with "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, and I was very impressed. Clear bass and midrange, and even a sense of space in the music! These also offer the best active noise cancelling I've yet heard with ear buds. None have been "dead silence" all around, but even leaving my house and standing under a noisy garage door opener, seemed only a few of the high frequencies barely skipped through. You can also opt for ambient sound, or an automatic switch, so they'll go from ANC to ambient if a siren approaches or someone speaks to you. Ear bud fit is always something that gives me "fits", and these come with other tips you can switch out for best sizing, but right out of the case, they were comfortable and felt like nothing was there. So much so I worried they might be too loose, but several vigorous head shakes later and they were secure, so I had both a sense of confidence in fit, as well as a little dizziness from head shaking. You can control the buds by the stems if you wish, and controls are customizable. A squeeze can answer a call or skip a song, and a simple slide with your finger up or down can control the volume. The case charges wirelessly or with USB. Like most bud cases, the center of gravity is too high so they tend to tip over when the lid is open. It seems to charge fast. I'm not much of an expert on battery life, but I know my Sony ones lost a lot of power quickly. I took a 20 minute walk with the Galaxy Buds fully charged, volume at a good clip, and music constantly playing, and when I got done, they were at 91%. I mainly decided to try these because the battery life in my Sony buds was getting a little troubling. I'm glad I did. I can't speak to how these will work for you if you don't have a Samsung ecosystem, but for me, the incredible sound, comfort, and ease of use and customization really make the Galaxy Buds stand out! ... show more

Great design & sound quality
Color: White Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
This is my first pair of Samsung buds and I never liked the other Samsung bud designs. I like how this gives a look of the Apple design but was I blow away by the sound quality!!! It delivers a very crisp, deep bass sound and love the features especially the advanced ANC! Its only been about 2 weeks using the buds but so far the only draw backs I have was after a few hours in it starts to kinda hurt my ear sockets like its a little to big, I notice with 1 ear bud in its hard to switch the music to low volume to hear me talking to someone compared to having both buds in to where someone talks and the audio lowers automatically to hear the conversation more clearer even after adjusting the settings, another thing I notice is the battery on the buds seems to maybe lasting only 4 hrs per use which I guess is okay but thought it could last a little more like 6-8 hrs unsure about the case as I always put it to charge, and after opening the package it had a bad smell on the buds like burnt rubber but I always disinfect the earbuds so finally after 2 weeks the smell went away. Over all the best ear buds I owed and I previously only owned Beats headphones & earbuds well made designs with great features only thing I havent tried just yet was the translation audio which hope to try before my trip to Mexico. ... show more

Review of ear bud cover, case and app only. Not a review on sound quality because of defect.
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
I am seriously freaked out. Do you remember the Star Trek movie where the nasty green bug is put into the prisoner's ear? If so you will understand. I have narrow ear canals and found that the medium ones which it comes fitted with were a bit too large. It was difficult to get them removed and yes I followed the directions and watched video on how to do it. One of them came off finally so put the small one on, again as directed. I put it in the ear and it felt odd. I removed it and you can guess what happened: the bud cover remained in my ear canal. Thank heavens someone was home to help me get it out because I was seriously panicking! In 25 plus years of wearing ear buds, I have NEVER had this happen. If it had, I would never wear them again because obviously "yuck bug"! The ear bud covers themselves are very odd. They are very thin and the one I couldn't get off felt as if it would rip if I pulled harder.......which is good given that the one I changed felt secure and basically fell off in my ear. There are only 3 pairs total, small, medium and large. With this price point I anticipated more covers as with my Masters & Dynamic earbuds there were several pair in each size. I can see why they don't want you to change the covers often but even with cleaning, my experience has been that eventually you need to replace them and here you would need to purchase another one in your preferred size. They simply don't compare to my M & D ones at all. I waited on the charging case to turn green which again per instructions would mean they were both fully charged. It ended up with only one charged and the other one completely dead. Again comparing them to the M & D ones the case is simply inferior. On mine there is a light for each ear bud and one for the case itself. That way you can see if all 3 pieces have a complete charge. You can also tell from the app the percentage of charge remaining which is a handy favor. (I don't know if the Samsung app provides that information or not because didn't get to that point, but it should show on the case itself.) The case is okay. It doesn't feel nearly as sturdy as my M & D ones, nor does it look anywhere near as good. I really don't care how it looks if they work, but it is a nice feature to have a case that looks like an expensive car does, one which you can immediately tell by the look and the feel that it is extremely well made. My security app on the phone identified the Samsung app as being dangerous, so I am going to uninstall it immediately. Samsung usually does well with its app. It was only because I have loved my Samsung phones, watches and televisions that I decided to give these a try. The ear buds sound like they have potential but are not up to the standards I would expect as the "pro" version from Samsung. I have lost feeling on the ends of some of my fingers due to nerve damage in my neck which is why I have stuck with M & D for years. They have wonderful mechanical buttons which I can easily manipulate. I was willing to give these a try because while not mechanical it wasn't the universal one button which I hate as I can never tell if I have pressed it the requisite number of times and end up advancing a chapter, turning them off, ending a call, etc. These may be wonderful but as I knew I was returning them I didn't take the time to figure out the controls....plus to be honest I didn't want to put them back in after the bud cover came off! I spent hours yesterday reading reviews because I couldn't decide which pair to try between the Samsung, Bowers & Wilkin and Sony. I like to purchase on prime days or other sell days because of the cost. As I loose things all too often, I try to get the best price I can. Having really good hearing and blessed with the curse or gift of hearing anything that is out of tune, I found early on that I detested cheap ear buds. I still love my Shure buds that are wired, but it is a pain to have the dangling cord all the time. I paid a fortune for them in 2000 and they still sound better then any blue tooth ones I have ever tried, but I figured that would be the case. I listened to the sound on the charged one but that is not a fair test so I am not commenting at all on the sound. I think Samsung has the right idea, but in going for so many features, they have skimped on some elements and cut corners on the basics which you need to make any of the rest of it worth your time. I may try again if changes are made but right now these fail. I mean when the case shows green you would assume both were charged and that failed, you can see there are going to be issues right away. ... show more

Impressive so far, almost perfect
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
I will admit that these are the first high end ear buds for me to buy and try out. I’ve gone through many cheaper ones but decided to try out something more. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ultra S23 phone to pair this with. Things I like: • Sound quality is amazing, can pick out individual notes, good bass, can hear people talk, and can hear from different angles. I think it’s as good as my higher end over ear headphones for the PC. • The noise canceling is really good, removes maybe 80% of other noise leaving only a very slight hum. Great when trying to zone out with things going on around you. • Easily connects and switches between phone, PC, and other devices. • Stays in your ear when exercising. I had bought an over-the-ear attachment thinking this would fall out while running/ exercising but it stays put and never needed it. • Good fit inside ear, even has a test to fit in the app • Took a bit to get use too but controls make it easy to use by hand (pause, next track, go back, volume up or down). • Mic works well Negatives: • Battery life is good but could be better. I have now and then run into one side draining faster than the other. Use of noise canceling drains it much faster. Prob getting 70-80% of advertised time, guessing at it. • Might get more rubber ear attachments, Medium is a good fit but wondering if need a medium-small. I wish it came with more than small, medium, and large attachments. • Wish it came with a tool to clean it, but I got a $5 one and works great. Just a scraper/ felt marker like thing – ear wax builds up. • Very $$ compared to others, but I think it is worth it if these hold up. I have read on reddit some users having issues. ... show more

Pretty good earbuds (Update)
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
Review Image by ken
I received my earbuds on Sept 1 after the unfortunate delay on pre-order. Am writing this review on sept 21 since first using these earbuds. Am glad I still waited on these because for the price am pretty satisfied with the sound clarity and comfort. Real quick to setup and connect to my s23 plus. Personally I don't like using the noise canceling feature on headphones or earbuds, mainly because I find it to cause fatigue on my ears within about 30mins of use. However the noise canceling is pretty good. Not as good as the sony wf1000 mx4 I used to have, but pretty good to say the least. I find myself using more the ambient sound to hear others around me while listening to music. But if am just want to tune out I just have it set to off all together. In fact when I go out for walks I just have it off without noise canceling/ ambient. Just having the sound up can block outside great as is. In comparison, I had my sony wf1000 mx4. Personally, I though those earbuds were great on sound quality but not so much on comfort. Those that know, the sony mx4 earbuds used memory foam ear tips that expand on your ears and can cause fatigue as soon as you start using them. Had to use the small earbuds size to feel better on my ears. But it was unpleasant. The sound quality and good bass was my favorite thing about the sony mx4 earbuds but they stop charging some time last year. And been using my back up razer chroma earbuds waiting to see what samsung will put out on the buds 3. Am pretty glad I did. My first impression on the galaxy 3 pros is the sound clarity, comfort fit, and the light weight they rest on my ears. The audio quality is great but I did prefer the sony better and bass. Battery life is great but of course is better if you leave the light bar on the sides off, but a pretty cool feature. I will say I do recommend playing with the eq settings. I personally did find the default eq a bit dull. I'm happy to share my eq settings but I don't think you need to make any big changes to make the earbuds sound a bit more vivid it needs to be. Everyone has their own taste when it comes to eq adjustments. But like I said before i don't think is something to make big changes to. I like to listen a bit of everything, classical, rock, metal, classic rock, rap, kpop/ jpop, country, phonk, jazz, Latin. Nevertheless, I hope this review helps Ps. If you plan to get these earbuds for a apple device, I don't recommend it because of codec support. I recommend researching more on your own if you don't know the difference with apple use of aac codec and android device LDAC/aptx codec. Basically apple devices don't support the same high res audio on Android devices. Update 10/28 So there was an update that came out for these earbuds improving sound quality. I notice a bit more bass and richer sound. However, something I forgot to mention on my last post was to be sure to go on the wear app and turn on UHQ (ultra high-quality audio). select sound quality and effects, advance quality options, and turn on UHQ audio. Again I should let you know this may not be available for you if you use apple device because what I mention before that apple devices don't use LDAC or Aptx codec. So is honestly better if you stick to apple ecosystem earbuds. Android phone users and samsung devices should support the UHQ option. One more of advice, if you use Spotify go to settings (click on your profile), and then Media Quality. From there you have options to set audio stream quality to auto, low, normal, high, and very high. And change between audio stream quality using wifi and cellular stream. I have mine set wifi stream on very high and cellular stream on high. Now you can take full advantage on these earbuds and maybe other headphones you like to use. ... show more

A++ Headphones! Incredible Performance Across Devices
Color: White Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Wireless are an absolute triumph in wireless audio. Having used them heavily with both Android and iOS devices, I can safely say these are top-tier earbuds that deliver premium quality where it matters most. Great Sound Quality: The audio profile on these is phenomenal. The sound is crisp, clear, and perfectly balanced, handling everything from bass-heavy music to podcasts beautifully. Great Noise Cancelling: The Adaptive ANC is outstanding. It does an amazing job of cutting out background drone and environmental noise, allowing you to completely tune out the world and focus on your audio. Cross-Platform Versatility: I originally paired these with a Samsung device and later used them with an Apple iPhone. The hardware performance on both ecosystems is amazing—the Bluetooth connection remains stable, and the audio clarity is flawless regardless of the phone brand. The One iOS Drawback: The only downside worth mentioning is that if you use them with Apple, the companion app does not work well. You lose out on fine-tuning some of the customizable software settings on iOS, though the core sound and ANC performance still shine through beautifully. The Bottom Line: These are definitive A++ headphones. Even with the slight app limitation on iOS, the raw performance, comfort, and noise cancellation make them a spectacular buy for anyone wanting elite wireless earbuds. ... show more

8 months of ownership have revealed serious issues
Color: Silver Style: Buds 3 Pro Pattern: Buds 3 Pro Only
*UPDATE* I have left original review below to show how far sentiment has fallen in roughly 8 months of ownership. As of 8 months of regular use, these buds have developed/revealed several serious shortcomings in both design and reliability. While noise cancelation performance has improved steadily over time, and sound quality remains top tier, the Buds 3s have declined nearly everywhere else. I suppose for brevity I'll just list: -Case design prevents easy cleaning of charging contacts. Unless you have a q-tip or something similar on hand, good luck. -Left bud regularly has charging problems. I've tried everything, even compressed air and 100% isopropyl and it's still unreliable as all get-out. I don't own a car so I use these daily on my commute, and probably 3 days a week I'll open my solid green LED case to find a right bud at 100% and a left bud at 0%. Beyond frustrating when you depend on noise cancelling to even hear in the first place. Mass transit is loud. -Sometimes the buds don't boot right. You'll take them out of the case, put them in, and they'll cycle ear detection on and off, switch between transparent and noise cancelling, and one or both will just stop responding. Only fix is back in the case and repeat, sometimes 5 or more cycles before they work right. -Buds are rated for 6+ hours with ANC active. I got this range at first, but over time that has reduced to barely 4 hours. When I used to get by charging them near the end of my shift, after just 8 months I sometimes have to charge them TWICE in a single shift. That is an alarming decrease in efficiency and initial quality. -Finally, the material the ear tips are made of picks up oils far too easily and quickly. The smallest amount of sweat will cause near immediate slippage. Using a headband or a beanie over top causes horrific crackling, rubbing and constantly psyches out the ear detection. Meaning, forgoing 3rd party tips, you don't have much in the way of resolution. I enjoy these buds very much when they work. But for the reasons listed above, I will not be picking up any more Samsung buds. I have experienced better long-term results with other brands, and I cannot recommend that you purchase these buds today. ---Original Review (Sept. 2024)--- Just a quick aside to start, over the past decade I have owned the following in-ear buds (in no particular order): -Bose QC (Gen 1) -Galaxy Buds Pro (Gen 1) -Sony XM4 -Sony XM5 For starters, the fit is an improvement over my Buds Pros (and every other stemless design I have tried). Like, not even in the same league. Due to the stem and silicone tips, every few hours I'll catch one wanting to slip out. Small downside for decreased ear fold discomfort. I wear these all day at work- more on that later- and after my ears adjusted to the new shape for a week or so, I can wear them hours on end pain-free. Touch controls are likewise the best I have ever found on in-ear buds. Pinch and tap stem are dead reliable and the swipe up/down stem for volume is intuitive and works flawlessly. The triangular stems with large, flat surfaces are instantly locatable and wonderfully usable. Stemless buds cannot compare to the ease of use. The buds look, and feel, premium. They better, at this price point. I don't get the case gripes, but maybe that's just because I recently retired my XM5s and their famously flimsy case for this pair. Survived a drop or two from pocket height, once on hardwood and once on concrete. Small scuffs but the hinge is still rock solid and no cracks. Connectivity is phenomenal, though this will likely only apply to folks inside the Samsung ecosystem. Can see case and buds battery info from my Watch 6 Classic, and buds autoconnect on case open to my Z Flip 5 even if my bluetooth is currently toggled off (can be disabled/changed in Galaxy Wear settings.) Got maybe a good 25, 30 feet of range before connection diminishes noticeably, worse obviously if you've got walls in the way. Sound quality is great, bordering fantastic after you finally burn them in. I only say that because no in-ears will compare to something like a true pair of studio monitors etc. High budget audiophiles I'm sure could pick things out to you but the in-app equalizer is great and to my ears the highs are crisp and not tinny, the mids are well developed and you can dial up a surprising amount of bass through the equalizer, and I never experienced buzzing or washout. Very good listening experience across every genre I've tested. Now, nothing is perfect, right? Battery life is a little short with ANC active, it runs out on me with about 2 hours left in any given shift when the XM5's would get me through some full days. No big deal, 10 minutes in the case and im good for the rest of the night. My only true gripe would be with the noise cancelling. At times, it rivals the best I've experienced (for my money the XM5s,) effectively blocking most noise of all frequencies quite well. Uber trips, shopping, walking in public spaces, waiting at the train station etc they perform quite well. However, I work specialty service and in my shop I basically have to both work with heavy steel grinders and be able to field phone calls with clients/speak to customers in shop. When I'm standing and working on my machine, the ANC will be humming along smoothly when suddenly some frequencies stop being blocked, if that makes sense? All will be quiet, then suddenly through one earbud I will pick up certain sounds as louder than the other ear as they evade the ANC's processing. It's quite disconcerting to be honest, I'd almost liken it to feeling a pressure change in your ear but without the physical sensations. Some times it's better/worse than other times, but I'd say by and large the ANC holds its own. If every other point in my review is a 5/5, battery life is a 4/5 and ANC is (currently) a 3.5/5. I would hope to, and assume to, see the problems with ANC addressed with future software updates. For now, as an early purchaser that understands products almost never release in a perfect state, I am very pleased with my purchase and do feel that I got my money's worth. ... show more
