I don't have buds 4 pro but I do have these. In my opinion, they are unbeatable at this price point. My biggest gripe is multipoint connection is limited to samsung devices only. My work PC is a thinkpad and my phone, watch, personal PC are all samsung. I can't listen to music on my phone and take a meeting on my computer without switching buds.
edit: I think there is a buds manager app for windows but my work PC is pretty locked down so I can't install software.
Bestbuy does not, but a scammer can return a fake and fool bestbuy, and potentially making you the final fool if you buy it open box from Bestbuy. caveat emptor
Bought this about a year ago for a similar price and did not have fakes, but I believe making sure it shows up in the Galaxy Wear app is enough to prove its legit.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro stand out for strong sound, effective noise cancellation, and a comfortable fit, with good call quality, voice commands, and even live translation and LE audio support on compatible Android phones and PCs. At this price, the value is hard to ignore, especially for a premium Samsung set. The main cautions are open box condition and authenticity, since some units arrive scratched, missing tips, or heavily used, and Samsung device limits mean multipoint is not as flexible outside the Galaxy ecosystem. A solid pick if you want flagship features and can verify the unit.
People willing to verify legitimacy and accept open-box risk for the price because multiple commenters say the deal is hard to beat at this price point, with good sound/ANC and easy returns if something is off.
Samsung phone + watch users who want a cheap pair of ANC earbuds because multipoint is limited to Samsung devices only, so it works best when your phone/watch/PC are all Samsung.
Android users who care about low-latency audio and supported LE/LC3 playback because commenters call out LE/LC3 audio compatibility as an underrated feature with "unbeatable" sound quality and latency in this category.
Buyers who are okay learning touch controls over time because one commenter said the touch controls took weeks to reliably use, but once learned the earbuds were comfortable with very good sound and noise cancellation.
People who are sensitive to fit issues or hate stems-in-the-case design because commenters mention mixed reviews on fit (including earbuds not staying in the ear) and also dislike the Buds 3 Pro stem/case design.
Anyone who wants "excellent" open-box condition to be consistent because commenters report open-box quality is random luck-some units arrive scratched, missing parts, or even DOA.
Buyers who can't tolerate a potential defect after purchase because some commenters report serious issues like one earbud playing only on one side or one earbud screeching that troubleshooting didn't fix and replacement wasn't honored.
Shoppers who want to avoid counterfeit risk in open-box because commenters warn that scammers can return fakes and leave you with a counterfeit, advising extra checks.
Work PC users who need seamless switching between a non-Samsung work computer and their Samsung phone because multipoint is limited to Samsung devices and you may have to switch buds when using a non-Samsung work PC.
Condition is inconsistent: some arrive clean with all or most tips and work like new, while others show worn cases, scratches, missing tips, heavy use, or even charging defects. If the unit is bad, Best Buy returns are reportedly easy enough to use.
Sound quality and ANC are described as very good, with mic quality also strong; one comparison puts them close to AirPods Pro 2 for sound and ANC, with better mic quality. Battery life is generally enough for a normal day, though it may fall short of the advertised claim.
Some units reportedly develop a screeching fault or play only one side even after resets, and troubleshooting may not fix it. Samsung warranty replacement has worked for some buyers, but if the issue appears after warranty you may be stuck.
The buds can be genuine even when the box is missing or the serial number is not printed on it. After pairing, the earbuds should register in the Galaxy Wear app and show serial numbers under About, which is the practical check for legitimacy.
Multipoint is limited to Samsung devices, so a Samsung phone, watch, and PC can stay connected together, but a non-Samsung work PC may require manually switching buds. That makes them less convenient if you need to jump between a Samsung phone and a Windows laptop.

Bad experience with Bestbuy "open box - excellent". Tried a couple of times (samsung watch and buds pro 2) and both times, no original box, just brown boxes. Also a lot of scratches on both and DOA buds pro (unable to charge), never looked like new. Told to myself that will be the last time I'm ordering open box here.
