I used to own these, I was a day one user since it's release, bundled with my phone purchase.
This felt like a failed copycat of the more popular—you-know-which—product.
They added those mostly pointless LED strips to the stems, whose only purpose seems to be greeting you when you open the case or letting you cosplay as a cyberpunk character.
Meanwhile, because of how the earbuds sit in the case, you have to rotate them in mid-air before inserting them into your ears, unless you use the opposite hand to pick up each earbud.
To make matters worse, they put the pairing button on the bottom of the case. That also means you can't pair the earbuds if you put them in the official case, since that case doesn't have a cutout on the bottom for the pairing button. 🍎 Is using hidden capacitive sensors in their latest Gen products, far better solutions.
Buds 4 fixed some of these issues, but I still think Buds 2 remains my favorite.

Getting the foam tips for these is essentia, i have thesel. It helps them stay in and noise cancelation is way better. Foam tips are kinda a must for all earbuds..I just got my wife the airpod pros 3 and she couldn't keep them in her airs, I got her the foam tips and as soon as she put them in her ears she was shocked

Community Reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro are compact wireless earbuds that stand out for strong sound, solid battery life, and useful on ear controls, especially for music, podcasts, calls, and one ear at a time use. ANC can be excellent when the tips seal well, and foam or better fitting tips often improve both comfort and noise canceling. The main drawbacks are fit, with frequent reports of them needing adjustment or not staying put, plus occasional crackling, mic, or battery issues. Open box condition also seems inconsistent, so inspecting the unit and tips matters.

Common Questions (5)

  • Open-box units can arrive as straight returns rather than refurbs, so condition varies from like-new to scratched cases or even fair-condition items mislabeled as excellent. Some arrive with sealed tips and look new, but inspecting in store is the safest approach.

    MidnightGamersenmununrealparadoxLeasedJet

  • Fit is highly personal: some users say they stay in fine, while others say they refuse to stay put or need constant adjustment. Foam or AZLA tips can improve the seal and stability, which also helps ANC performance.

    crazyalDanielA3922StickyWafflesLeasedJet

  • Sound quality is widely praised, with several users preferring it over Anker Liberty 5 Pro and AirPods Pro 2 for music, while ANC is described as strong but sometimes slightly behind older Buds2 Pro or AirPods Pro 2. The tradeoff is comfort and fit, which can be worse for some ears.

    Esaul562needmortoysJonathanJ7145moomoo4me

  • Yes. A proper seal makes a big difference for ANC, and running the fit wizard plus trying different tips can reduce gaps and improve cancellation. Foam tips are also reported to boost ANC noticeably.

    jcc510smartyman88LeasedJet

  • Some pairs have uneven battery drain, with one earbud dying earlier than the other, and workout sweat can trigger debris/sweat warnings after charging. Other users report the warning clears on its own and charging still works normally.

I hated these. Minor annoyance of rotating before putting them into your ears, and playing a "triangular peg goes into the triangular hole" game every time when putting them away. Major annoyance of whenever I walked just out of range, they would deafen me with the most terrible click/screech. My $20 tws earbuds got more use than these, with the only downside being the anc being far worse.
The anc on the galaxy buds is pretty good, only just slightly worse than whatever wizardry is in airpods.

How ear waxy are these
I bought a open box good pair of these back when the May deal was going. There was no ear wax on mine and the tips came in a separate sealed bag. I ended up returning them because one side would die like an hour before the other side, didn't want to bother gambling with another pair.

As a side note, they have the Pro 4 in black, open box, for $129.00. Seems like a good deal.

Mine came today - perfectly new, but in a plain carboard box. One medium set of tips and one usb c cable. Ordered a set of the memory foam tip sets from amazon S/M/L for $8 as an upgrade. With the S26 ultra you literally just place them next to the phone, open the case and it finds them and add them through bluetooth and wearables and lets you change all the setting in the Androids setting menu. Had to download the instruction pdf online which took seconds. Impressed for the money. Even with nothing playing the ANC is amazing.

Recommend giving them a good test for a couple days to verify the battery life is fine and they sound good Smilie

I have two pairs. Had to buy new tips due to it tearing. AZLA Max on amazon are actually great non-foam tips. A little on the pricey side, but stay in better for a given size.

Decent bud, more comfortable and better controls than my Buds2 Pro, but can't beat the older model for ANC performance and build quality.

Have had these since launch and I'm also in the group where the fit isn't quite right. They stay in my ear, but not as well as the Pro 2 so it's a constant struggle to get it to feel right. Still much better than the Gen 1 Pros that were unusable due to materials that caused allergic reactions that were quite painful. I'm sure I'll get the 4 Pros when I can get a $100 deal like the recent BB open box, Samsung earbuds has been a fun hobby.

I bought mine new for like $150 last year and i immediately switched out the thin silicone ear tips for third party foam ear tips for a big boost in noise cancellation
Which ones? Noise cancellation sucks on these.

I bought them on this deal and love them. Came in basically new, still used alcohol etc, but the way the tips are designed on these, unless they are HEAVILY used, these are about the most sanitary earbuds I have seen for buying used.

All not major issues. Just complain to complain. Maybe except the case but why do you need the charging case protected? Mine have never been in one. Its gotten scratched up but its not like I'm going to sell them.
