The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have arrived, boasting stems in their design—a feature that's raised a few eyebrows. But are these earbuds merely Apple AirPods clones, or do they offer something more substantial? Let's delve into their features, sound quality, and performance to find out.
Samsung's decision to include stems in the design of the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has sparked criticism. However, the real question is: how do these buds feel and perform? Despite the stem design, both models are lightweight and comfortable, fitting securely in my ears. The Galaxy Buds 3 provide a more secure fit than the AirPods 3, while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro passed the SE steal test with the largest ear tips—though I wish there was an option for slightly larger tips.
Both buds share many features, including wireless and USB-C charging, Bluetooth 5.4, and ear detection sensors. They also have an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance and support LE Audio and Oracast. However, there are key differences. The Galaxy Buds 3, priced at $180, are open buds designed for comfort, while the $250 Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offer noise isolation.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro boasts a battery life of up to 7 hours without noise cancelling and 6 hours with it on. The Galaxy Buds 3, on the other hand, can last up to 6 hours without ANC and 5 hours with it enabled. Both models feature pinch and swipe controls, making volume adjustments a breeze.
The sound quality of both earbuds is impressive, with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro standing out thanks to its dual drivers and enhanced treble performance. The active noise cancelling on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is good but slightly behind the AirPods Pro 2. However, the ambient mode is very effective, providing a natural sound at the middle setting.
While the design may be generic and the price tag a bit high, the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offer competitive features and sound quality. The Galaxy Buds 3 are a solid choice for Samsung Galaxy owners and Android users who prefer open buds, while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro shine in terms of sound quality and voice calling performance.
For those contemplating an upgrade from the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are indeed better but not by leaps and bounds. The choice ultimately depends on the deal you can get and your preference for design.
