Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 : Why I Would Pass On These!

[@baylor3894]

I didn't pass on them I like them they're very comfortable they fit me well I know they're not for everyone but I like them a lot

[@55codyharris11]

How'd you get them early? I want some it says come out 28th of August

[@doomsdalicious]

I like them as well!

[@thepeddle]

Christ man. You can't harp on semi in ear earbuds not sounding as good as in ear earbuds. It's obvious that in ear ear buds will always sound better. But for those of us who can't wear in ear earbuds with that plugged feeling just want to know if they are good for SEMI In ear buds. Apples to apples comparison. I've got the buds Live now as I can't wear in ear style. Not even one single mention as how they compare to the beans? All I got from this review was you whining about how they're not as good as in ear earbuds.....ffs

[@TorekO1]

I just got mine, they are amazing for semi ears, they sound really good , very impressed and I am picky when it comes to headphones.

[@xxrastababyxx]

For the price. Get the pro 2's. Sent mine back..awful noise cancelling

[@Supersonic107-5]

Thanks man. Whats with whining and shit comparison.

[@fightnight14]

I'm impressed with the sound quality for a wirelesss open earbuds the soundstage is amazing. My setup is Pixel 8, enabled spatial audio, enabled LE audio, EQ is dynamic setting but just a bit customized, enabled "adjust to fit" setting. Honestly this pair ruined my other wireless earbuds experience and I begin to dislike in-ears now because of it. If you have fit problems, you can try to angle the blade/stem towards your mouth if not higher. I got this for $70 after trade-in so it's an absolute steal. 10/10 for me

[@heliwrecker8649]

I've been waiting for these since the first buds dropped. Just found out they're out, yesterday. Can't wait to get a pair!

[@Supersonic107-5]

The noise cancelling is cool. The reason u buy this is to listen to your surroundings. The noise cancellation is basically to drown out engine noise, vehicles, etc. it’s not dumb dude

[@jacobb54]

I rarely use the noise cancelling but it seems to work fine when i test it out.

[@damianxanderelvampiro3870]

I just bought them 1. U do feel the noise cancelation. Obviously, if u are in a really noisy environment, u will hear the noise from the outside, but it does work some... 2. The sound is loud more louder, and better than the 2 and 2 pro. 3. The 360 sounds better than expected and gives a boost sound at the same time. 4. The seamless switch works flawlessly. I love them they feel premium and will get the pro 3 also because if i love this one.. the pros will be perfect in every way and more comfortable.

[@maddada]

Also forgot to mention, the range on these is VERY long, can leave my phone and wander around the house and the audio doesn't hitch.

[@dakidcalledl]

Best earbuds ive ever tried better than the bose

[@abemickeygaming7742]

I bought a pair of samsung galaxy buds over 2 years ago and they still work perfectly fine ...i also bought 2 or 3 apple earbuds in the same time frame and one ear stop working with each...i dont mind copying the style biggest i prefer the fit of apple...but samsung is much better to me with quality in my personal experiences

[@Disdain7133]

I think companies give the option of noise cancelling on an open earbud as to give it a balance that in-earbuds have. (Although, i don't think they're there yet to make it effective.)

[@selvinc5625]

I get wht u mean but we need something different, I love my buds but jamming those buds hurts after a while. Ill try and see but can we not have something comfortable. So far everyone loves them can we not try something new

[@alloverdaplace2043]

Do the stems light up?

[@ioannislazidis]

I purchased them for €108.87 here in Greece, and the information provided is highly accurate. I would like to add that their design does not make them particularly secure against potential falls from the ear. Additionally, from a brief investigation I conducted, various pads available on the market hinder the closure of the case when attached to the earbuds.

[@sharez66]

Earbuds with silicone eartips just do not work for me, and I have tried quite a few. They just start working loose after just a few minutes, even after going through all the supplied eartips and third party tips. This style, and these buds work so much better for me. Also, when I started wearing them correctly, which is twisting the stem so it's pointing forward, the ANC was actually decent. Now this might be because my ear shape works well with these buds, and so not everyone will have that same experience. All I can say, for me, these are keepers.

[@arcalas]

are they a good upgrade from the galaxy buds pro?

[@mlantz77]

I have the buds2 pro and I can tell you those were night and day difference. So these are gunna be way worth the upgrade for ya!

[@sot8343]

The BT connection isn't as good as my previous buds 2..

[@racea.t6531]

Honestly i don't have anything against stem style earbuds, i own two pairs. I feel like it's unacceptable when samsung pulls this b.s🤬... Samsung spent time and money mocking apple for years and trying to form their own identity in the process, and they did, just to cave in now is laziness in my book. It's like if they put a iphone 10 style notch on their phones when that was the trend. We could count on samsung to bring something different to the table but now they got lazy with almost NO real competition in the u.s on the android side of things. There are many more amazing true wireless earbuds stem style or otherwise that are way cheaper than these. P.s I'm a samsung galaxy user, phone and earbuds as my main devices.

[@pspgovsliszt]

Hi man! Everytime I turn on the ANC, I listen like a "shhh" sound on this earphones, would that be normal because of the ANC function? Of course that this sound is very low.

[@NegyedMisi]

I'm rocking the Huawei Freebuds Pro 3 and nothing beats them. I have a Galaxy S23+ and these buds could be perfect but without multipoint connectivity I'm not buying.

[@MRJLS15]

I definitely am leading to passing on them since I enjoy the more in ear style and really enjoy my buds FE tbh

[@Kevingm007]

is there a way to stop my earbuds from falling out when I yawn or talk?

[@handlep224]

Hi..Good Morning...I'm looking to upgrade from a Wired bluetooth headset to wireless, open design classic type, not the silicon in ear plugs......need it only for taking calls in my office.......so just one preference that is good microphone quality.....please suggest between JBL Tune Flex and Apple airpods(4, as other generation are not selling now).....i use a samsung phone A 54......Thanks bro

[@Reg0303]

The Bluetooth connection on my pair is extremely poor. When connected to my Pixel 7, the connection breaks just by turning my head. I've started the return process.

[@FamiliarStranger617]

I hate when reviewers complain that you can't use all the features on any device it's called a ECOSYSTEM and it's hard to have one when you play nice with everyone smh. Y'all need to get over it I understand why apple and samsung do it as a consumer, so you gonna have to live with it as reviewers!

[@danielhochstetler4324]

I have the Buds3Pro, and I will say I am disappointed. The fit and finish, the ambient/ANC, and lack of support from their latest flagship (s24 Ultra) is all sub-par. There are no new icons when interacting on the phone, and they just seem less than... Hopefully, updates will solve these problems, but they never should have been released with these issues.

[@danielhochstetler4324]

He is fanboy, so he can't 😅

[@maddada]

I'm very down on Samsung currently since the Fold 6 didn't change enough from the Fold 5 (which barely changed anything from the Fold 4 which is my current device) I honestly love these, they are so comfortable to wear all day, sound amazing with just aac, have really great noise cancelling mics (people can't tell I'm outside when I'm on calls), the controls are very intuitive vs many others that I tried, and the battey life has been amazing. AAC vs HQ codec doesn't make a difference in youtube music or when watching videos, or when listening to podcasts so it's not a huge deal for me. It might make a difference in Tidal or audiophile apps. The price is the only really bad aspect but there's going to be deals for them, or you can get them used so waiting is a great option, and Apple isn't charing less for airpods so 🤷🏻

[@ehsanjan794]

please do a comparison between this one and airpods 4 anc

[@Blu3_777]

You should try the Jbl live flex it has the best bass in a semi-in earbud period

[@MarioAzul117]

Maybe your pair was defective. Noise cancelling is pretty decent.

[@Nkay28]

Idk why Samsung does this thing where they have features on some products and not others, & sometimes they'll say features are new when they aren't they were just removed from something &put back. (E.g. voice detect & 360 audio were available on the 1st Buds pro)

[@mrq1701]

I don't think anyone buys this style of earbud thinking they will be top tier for sound quality. I buy this style of earbud for everyday activities where I want good sound quality, but I'm not looking for audiophile levels of detail. I'll watch youtube videos, take phone calls, etc. I leave my movie watching for my bigscreen TV in my living room.

[@jacobb54]

I'm with you on that. The basic buds work great for me. Like you i just use them for music, and watch movies.

Good earbuds with some important cons... Don't fit well, perhaps need foam tips. Shame not to have multipoint connection (different brands/ecosystems).

[@Disdain7133]

These having ip57 is a pleasant surprise. Definitely didn't see that coming. Battery life and charging speeds are a head scratcher. (Especially given they don't have a stat on fast charging.) Yeah, I'd say these are a bit overpriced. I thought they'd be more in the 80$ range. I could only really imagine getting these at their full price if i already had the newest Samsung flagship phone and needed an earbud with really good mic quality.

Can you listen to a video on KZbin in Spanish and the galaxy buds3 translate it to English in real time?

[@TomerShemesh]

Briliant review. In my view, I'd much prefer getting a normal set of buds with silicone tips and putting just a single earbud in one of my ears and hearing my surroundings through the other ear when I need to, rather than get a set of open earbuds which take a beating in sound quality and anc. I personally use the Bang and Olufsen Beoplay EX.

[@fightnight14]

There are tracks that take advantage of left and right audio so you're the one missing out lol

[@Supersonic107-5]

Why would anyone use only one earpiece to listen to music 😢😢

[@TomerShemesh]

@Fastboy108 . While the sound quality may be diminished to a moderate level when using a single earbud, the option to elevate it to an optimal level by utilizing both earbuds is preferable to the consistent, yet mediocre, sound quality provided by open-ear earbuds.

[@Zeo60409]

my complaint is that they ache my ears so I have to take them off every other 10mins might honestly just return em and try the pros next month

[@DanielRuelas]

If you're a fan of open-ear earbuds wait for the upcoming Soundpeats Air 5 (launching worldwide soon) this model has a pretty good track record , as past generations have been amazing. I hope Keith makes a video about them when they launch, but yeah, save your money and wait a little.

I had the Buds 2, the Buds 3 sound really good. I'm using them right now but can't speak on the exact comparison to Buds 2 since they always fell out of my ears which I've always hated the Buds 2 for that reason. These get really loud and they are pretty clear, you just aren't getting noise cancelling on these in comparison and of course they aren't going to get bass the way the Buds 2 have since these don't have eartips.

[@sot8343]

I had the buds 2. Those silicone tips provide very good isolation. The buds 3 have none. Buds 2 had better BT connection. Buds 3 cuts out with fast head movement and has shorter range. Sound quality is similar except it allows a lot of ambient sound in. ANC is a must. Lot of wind noise when running. Fit in fine while running, but tilting the head 90 degrees and it will fall out. Also can't wear ear muffs when mowing the lawn because of the stems. I might have to trade up to the pro. I still prefer the buds 3 because of the better battery life.

[@jeffmenace91]

@@sot8343 My main reason for getting the Buds 3 is due to comfort and being able to hear my surroundings, which these do an excellent job at that. I still have my Galaxy Buds Live and I will always love these because they are super comfortable, stay in my ears, and mic's are pretty good. They just have a bad range, wish Samsung didn't give up on the design and made an updated version with BT 5.3 but that's pretty much where the Buds 3 comes into play. Just with the stem and better battery life. At some point I'll get the 3 Pro's since I traded in my Buds 2 Pro in favor of paying less on the Buds 3. I wanted to keep them but I didn't really use them as much as they eventually would fall out of my years after a while and my Buds FE have a way better fit due to the wingtips.

And it sounds like all the best features have vendor lock-in. If I want earbuds, i'll stick to my TOZO Golden X1s.
