Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 review

8.1Expert Score
Across trusted sources, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 emerge as a solid mid-tier option for Samsung loyalists, praised for their revamped stem design that boosts comfort and controls over predecessors. Audio shines with warm, detailed sound when fit is secure, and ANC performs above average for open buds, effectively muting low rumbles like fans. Battery life meets expectations for daily commutes, while IP57 durability and AI smarts add practical appeal. However, fit inconsistencies due to the open style often muddle bass and highs, leading to variable performance. ANC struggles with high-frequency noises, battery isn't class-leading, and features like hi-res audio lock to Samsung devices, limiting cross-platform value. Some early units faced minor quality hiccups, but updates have smoothed software edges.
PROS
  • Comfortable, lightweight open design
  • Intuitive pinch/swipe controls
  • Solid ANC for open earbuds
  • Galaxy AI and app customization
  • IP57 ruggedness
CONS
  • Sound varies with fit; weaker bass/highs
  • Average battery in heavy use
  • Limited codecs/multipoint outside Samsung
  • ANC ineffective against sharp sounds
  • No case water resistance
