@@tarandeepsidhu6812If you send a device to be repaired by Samsung and you’re caught they may pull an Asus (send it back in pieces).

[@ThatIceChampion]

@@techno_logic26 1: Samsung forces any 3rd party repair people to give all their customer’s information to them. 2: if a repair shop finds a non Samsung part in the device, the part will be taken out and will NOT be replaced. 3: Samsung Support also takes ass long to deal with. I speak from experience. 4: their repairs cost a lot since they sell parts bundled It isn’t nonsense, its just as bad if not worse as Apple’s.

[@fftcdragonboy7999]

I can see clear case mods happening xD

[@doodskie999]

Dbrand is definitely gonna make a transparent look sticker/wrap or transparent case for this bad boy 100%

[@brandon_nope]

dbrand presumably stopped making AirPods case skins due to the difficulty of just applying them so I doubt it

[@ImSayyD]

+ there's no real point of making a skin when changing the case is so easy, you don't even have to unscrew anything or remove any adhesive.

[@froggotheboi]

3:01 actually....the Buds themselves are IP57, the charging case is only IPX2 from what I know

[@GlitchingRobin]

That's correct

[@paranaenselol]

Should be easier to make the case ip67 or the same as the buds ip than making the buds that ip rating

[@kiktik2413]

can confirm, put em through the laundry by accident, the buds are fine but the case wont charge them :(

[@marianovillanuevacruz8757]

@@kiktik2413 lol thats what happened to mine yesterday

[@CaptainRex332]

3:47 although yes you do have to solder it you could probably just buy a replacement board and if Samsung really wants to go 1 step further in repairability they could sell it themselves

[@MoistCrouton]

If the EU laws pass they will have to

[@SadisticLoli]

That board probably has all the info about the buds including serial numbers. I think replacing it would disconnect you from your buds so youll have to reconnect Edit: newest buds can track location and are account tied like apple products

[@tschuuuls486]

On the OG Buds and Buds+ Samsung told the battery manufacturer to stop selling the battery (manufacturer sold it before) 😢

[@James.576]

That's really uncool of samsung.

[@f4lco021]

Is not the true … the battery are the same of the Sony XM3 and they are standard. In my sony I have change and upgrade the battery with Varta CP1254 A4 (they’re not cheap but they’re better than the original ones)

[@real_andrii]

​@@f4lco021was curious about the price, found them for 12€ per battery. Not cheap, but, considering it goes in your ears, that's not extremely expensive.

[@markofenev4545]

The buds+ used a standard button cell battery in the buds lol

[@tschuuuls486]

The buds+ use a EVE icr1454s not the varta cell like the OG buds. That one is not that readily available, but ifixit us seems to stock them now. There are posts of a few people that had issues sourcing them from elsewhere :)

I’m giving these Buds3 Pro a try because my last two AirPods Pro developed crackling sounds when transparency or anc are engaged.

[@johnbach2077]

ME TOO!!! Its super annoying and only really happens when they move around in my ear with that on

[@ricky1000]

Well they don't work well when using a non samsung phone and the codec is restricted to the s23 to s24 series

[@ShaydTheDragon]

I had that with Buds 2 from Samsung, make sure the microphone on the airpod is not dirty.

[@dirtydirtsgt4751]

​@ricky1000 the codec is on every samsung phone but the UHQ capability requires a flagship phone with Bluetooth 5.3 which is S23 and later

[@mikivli]

I have them they’re not bad with my iPhone

[@EpicBlade2]

Great to see that jerryrig and you uploaded at the same day

[@ab72_s]

I got mine delivered way earlier on pre-order, and I am taken aback by this pair of buds. Sure, they copied Apple, so what? The consumer is winning in the end! The repairable design would make batteries be replaced so much easier! The sound is just on par, or maybe sometimes even better than the AirPods Pro that I have, and they work so seamlessly on my Samsung phone, the AI features, and the blade lights are so much cool! I lost them in the dark, and the blade lights helped me locate them. Since these were delivered, I have not using my AirPods Pro at all! Samsung really outdid themselves!

[@AkiraMiles]

All of Samsung's Buds Pro are better than the AirPods because all of them are Hi-Fi certified, unlike any AirPods Pro.

[@1993rufus]

Now that One UI 6.1.1 is out. Turn on UHQ and you will see that Airpods are toys compared to the Buds 3 Pro!!!

[@foxinyt-x1]

A transparency mod for that buds would look so cool

You are the only one who could change my mind on these new buds. Now I wanna get one. 😊

[@ChunkSaved]

The inside of that case looks so cool, you should make it transparent!

[@Coffeeofficial2024]

Nice video love ur work ❤

[@Holycurative9610]

As someone who has repaired laptops for over 20 years repairability is a massive thing. When a customer brings in a laptop that's uneconomical to repair I offer them a price for it and then repair it so some kid (or adult) can use it for school or home, not all parents can afford a laptop and if you have 3 or 4 kids it can get expensive. The cost of repair is sometimes very minimal but my time isn't cheap, a part costing maybe £10 can take 2-3 hours to fault find and replace and nobody wants to spend £200ish to fix a 10 year old laptop worth £50. Conversely a part costing £300 can be fixed in an hour, it's fault finding that takes the time and then there's often a wait for spare parts because firms like Apple/Samsung lock down the supply chain so I have to find second hand parts. I have a lot of spares but I can't keep a broken laptop from every brand or I wouldn't be able to move for broken laptops.

[@FoxDrive99]

Just got my pair of these in the mail yesterday. Really digging how they're built quality wise to the Buds 2. The buds 2 had a rubber coating on them that would peel off really easily, and always fell out of my ear. I can see myself using these much longer than the Buds 2

I think the usb-c port issue can be easily fixed with a connector soldered to the board and a connector to the flex cable just 3d print an outer shell and done. completely modular unplug the usb-c and plug a new one in. I did that with my galaxy watch charging cradle.

Could you imagine how amazing it would be if the next gen Galaxy Buds would be released in 2 versions. One normal version with the case and one without the case. Only the ear buds would be sold, so you can keep your old casing and if need be you can upgrade to a newer casing at any time.
