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.

Same here. Airpod pro 2s have better noise cancelation and passthrough audio, the galaxy buds have better audio and mic quality. The only significant difference, and one that most people don't care about, is the mic quality. Airpods are like 2010s car Bluetooth quality, galaxy buds are indistinguishable from using the phones mic.

Otherwise, the differences are pretty minor though, they're both pretty great. I think I got my galaxy buds for around this price and they're well worth it.

Thinking of going for this, not a bad price, even tho I don't really even need them 🤣 But I'm wondering if with Amazon Prime Day coming up within a couple of weeks if you'll be able to get the U.S. warranty version for the same price or real close.... Wouldn't surprise me.
decisions, decisions.....

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.
My 2 pros broke so I did upgrade. However, agree that for most, not with the upgrade if the pro 2s are going strong. I liked the form factor better on the v2 and would give back the incremental improvements to go back to something stemless. Also, the IP rating on the pro 3 is a downgrade.

Do you use a Samsung phone or Apple? Just curious. My wife has a iPhone and was thinking about getting her a pair. But my brother said that samsung buds work better in samsung phones and you get less features on a iphone using samsung buds.

There are some features which sont work like sound 360. I am using it with Oneplus 12 and it works great.

Never encountered that from any buds, maybe you had allergic reaction. I have buds1, buds2 and pro3. Also many TWS from other companies.

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.
They should sound better. 3 Pro has planar tweeters + Dynamic...

Thought I'd be okay with the airpod style form factor, but that just wasnt the case. Old earbuds are just more inconspicuous for when you're out and about. The stems get caught if taking off clothing (shirt, hoodie, etc). Old style I'll sometimes leave one earbud in while I'm sleeping on my side, if I roll over it's not comfortable, but it's manageable. With these it's not too uncomfortable.

All that said, the sound quality really was good. If my current buds broke then I'd live with the tradeoffs, but until then I'll keep rocking my originals.

Worth upgrading from Galaxy Buds Pro 2?
I have the pro 2 and 3's. The 3's have a little better sound, and a lot better noise cancelling, and some additional functionality. I use the pro 2's strictly for the gym while using the pro 3's for everything else. The 2's look better and stay in my ears during high motion activity. I believe the mic on the 3's is a little better.
I'd say if you are looking for a good gym earbud, the 2's are great. If you're looking for a good everything else earbud, go with the 3's.

Surprisingly terrible ear buds. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro are better in fit, sound quality, and noise canceling. Don't know how Samsung screwed it up so bad. It's so terrible I used my Buds2 Pro as my mains, and only use the Buds3 as a backup. When my Buds2 died, I bought Sony XM5s because of how irritated I am at the Buds3. Also the they made it so that when you take the buds out of your ear, you have to rotate them 180 degrees in order to fit them into the case. Just asking to have them dropped onto the floor. Terrible...in every way. They're $50 Amazon buds posing as high end.

Voice Detect: This feature is supposed to automatically switch to transparency mode when you start talking. "I find it to work well but it made me aware I am a random mumbler!"

Intelligent Sound: This feature adjusts the audio based on your environment. "Adaptive eq is good if it works. But sometimes it derps out and makes the buds sound louder in one ear for me."

Live Translation: This is one of the main selling points, but many users find it unreliable. "The translation is super slow, incorrect and doesn't track the conversation well at all."

Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC): This feature adjusts the noise cancellation based on your surroundings. "Adaptive noise cancelling is actually pretty good though. But it is behind when dealing with crowd noise compared to full ANC mode."

Siren Detection: This alerts you when it detects a siren. "Siren detect is cool, but I haven't really noticed it doing much."
