I go these on open box at BB a few months ago and returned them, the sound quality was inferior to my Buds2 Pro.

That's interesting because I have both Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and the AirPods 2 Pro, and the Samsung ones have superior sound quality.

I found the sound to be less bass and less full from my Galaxy Buds2 Pro. So comparing Galaxy models vs air pods.

Can't recommend against these enough. Any Samsung earbuds with ANC have a chance at developing a really loud squeak when they are touched, and the 3 pro seem to be especially prone. Mine lasted just over a month before starting it and they just aren't usable in passthrough anymore. Samsung support will not replace them either, they will not diagnose that as a defect. Just wanted to throw the warning out there, these aren't your high quality forever pair of earbuds.

I know what you mean, but that typically only happens when you touch the top of the ear buds close to the grill. If you are using it normally and not trying to shove it in (stock eartips suck) then you won't encounter this.

Purchased the international version Galaxy buds 3 pro earbuds from woot a while back. Sound quality is pretty good. ANC is hit or miss w/ the squeaks occurring every now and then. Mic stopped working so voice control went along with it. But as an earbud it is still functional. There are risk of all those issues occurring with any version of these buds. Just know international version has no warranty/support that the US version normally has.
Looking back on this... I have some terrible luck with the buds 3 pro lol. But they are still my daily listening buds.

Same, coming from an iphone and AirP Pro2's, Samsung's bass hits much better and they sound clearer to me. I will say that the ANC on the ApPro 2's are much better, but I still prefer the Samsung due to sound quality.

I have these and have said many times in the past, they are bad. If you have the buds 2 pros, keep them, the 2 pros are far superior, the buds 3 pros are a disappointment. Plus, this isn't even a good price, these are $110 on woot ALL the time for these international versions.

I have both the Samsung buds pro 2 and 3. I think the sound quality and anc is better on the 3s, but the fit is better on the 2s. I use them for different things. Travel/Work = using the 3s. Gym/Running = using the 2s.

Airpods do this too. Unless the newer ones fixed that. My old airpod pros did this so when my galaxy buds 3 pro did it too, I just figured it's something you gotta live with for ANC buds in general

Really depends on ear shape, because it's not universal in humans. The fact the 3 pro can be partially controlled with voice alone, and no AI assistant, is one reason I prefer them.

Bass alone doesn't determine audio quality wtf. The tuning is most likely different, and the two models don't have same driver configuration...
