I have AirPods Pro 2 and Galaxy Buds Pro 3, surprisingly, the Galaxy has better sound quality.
That is true. And vendor-locking or in this case even model-locking features is abhorrent behavior. I got mine very cheap on a deal when they first came out and this really upset me at the time.

Eventually, I was able to pair them with a compatible model of Sammy phone however, and it's really not that big of a deal. The headlines like the 24-bit codec and the dynamic ANC seem like big misses, but neither of them really amazed me when I finally got to demo them. The transcription feature didn't work very well either.

I am just one data point. Maybe my particular 24-bit flac files were a poor demo of the proprietary sammy codec and maybe things have been fixed in software since, but for under $100 I find these to be pretty hard to beat in the ANC Earbud market even with non-sammy devices.

Edit: A suggestion for people like me. These come with silicone eartips. I would replace immediately with memfoam, but that is subjective
I have and use both pairs. The ambient sound mode is definitely better on the 3.
However, my preference is the 2's. They're sleeker and I am able to maneuver better in them: activities, less noticeable at work, don't get snagged when taking off shirts/sweaters, and are easier to sleep in.
I haven't noticed any major difference in battery life.
One thing is that it is more of a nuisance with the 3's to properly align the buds when placing them into the charging case. The 2's will magnetically align so you can just drop them into the case, essentially.

What makes this "international" version?
I rarely see big US retailers sell "international" version item.

In Asia, when the products are not sold through official distributors, they are called "International" version. Those products have no warranty!

Omg I just sent mine in that is 5months old and sounded like crap. They sent me email back first said they are waiting for parts, then called me gave me full refund...I'm not sure what happened to my old pair, and I'm scared to buy another pair without warranty lol.

The version of Buds sold outside of US is marked as such with a specific serial# etc and the only difference is in Warranty.

Non-us marked products carry no warranty in us even if they are sold by Samsung Authorized dealer in say India or elsewhere.

Some products - such as an iPhone sold via Apple - do get sold with International warranty meaning I buy it in the USA and go to India, something happens, I can get service in India from authorized Apple store. Sorry, bit long winded!

I don't know if that's surprising. Apple does most things really well but they are usually FAR from being the best.

Yes google is great to give you specs and AI is great to hallucinate and give you whatever it feels like at the time. Was looking for real-world experience. Nothing beats a recommendation from a current user.
Yea I wouldn't trust AI answers, I just meant I'm sure it can list out the specific limitations. I'm a samsung user so I can't help you but I know when I've used airpods in the past, they didn't even show battery percentage which was absurd (Apple being lame as usual). But regular google search can probably find the answers you're looking for (prob some reddit thread or something)

I agree with all these points. For me, the fit is not as good as well. I have tried all the tips they send, and some how it tends to slip out when i am working out etc. Buds 2 fit perfectly. Not a big fan of the design, they tried to copy the airpods design and failed IMO. no wonder you see these at half price sales almost every other day.

They do work better on Samsung phones. But he is right they sound better than the airpods pro 2. I have both and it's not even close. The airpods pro 2 have better noise cancelling.

I'm not surprised at all. In my opinion, Samsung beats Apple on everything except accessibility features for heating aides.

If you have to ask, the answer is no. No need to mindlessly add to E-waste.

I got these to replace my original buds, and although the sound quality was a ton better these did not stay in my ears well (subjective) for running, weights, eating, sleeping, etc. Overall not worth the tradeoff.
