Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, Noise Cancelling, Sound Optimization, Redesigned Comfort Fit, Silver [US Version, Amazon Exclusive, 2Yr Warranty]

When I first saw “AI-powered earbuds,” I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly sprained something. But after using the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, I can confidently say—these things aren’t just smart, they’re freakishly effective.Let’s start with comfort. Samsung finally figured out how to make earbuds that actually feel good in your ears. No weird pressure points, no “is it falling out?” paranoia. I’ve worn these while mowing the lawn (gas-powered beast mode) and while flying cross-country—and in both situations, the active noise cancelling (ANC) worked shockingly well. On a plane, they silenced the jet noise to a dull whisper. While mowing? I could still hear my music clearly without cranking the volume to ear-melting levels.The sound quality is crisp, balanced, and has enough bass to keep your head nodding. Don’t expect subwoofer-in-your-skull bass, but it’s rich and full. The highs and mids are clear, and they don’t get tinny or shrill.Now for the “AI” part—believe it or not, it’s not just marketing fluff. The adaptive noise cancelling actually adjusts based on your environment. It’s like these things are listening to your surroundings so you don’t have to. I had someone start talking to me while in ambient mode, and the buds automatically let their voice in—like a helpful little ear butler saying, “Sir, your human is speaking.”Battery life clocks in around 6 hours per charge with ANC on, and the case gives you a solid 20 more. It charges wirelessly too, because of course it does. Welcome to the future.Not everything is perfect: the touch controls are still a little twitchy. One wrong swipe and you’re skipping songs or accidentally triggering Bixby (shudder). And at this price point, it would’ve been nice to have foam tips as an option for extra sound isolation.Still, if you need reliable, smart earbuds for noisy environments—whether it’s airplane cabins or backyard chores—the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro absolutely deliver.Pros:Excellent adaptive ANC—perfect for flights and lawn dutyGreat sound quality, especially mids and bassComfortable and secure fitWireless charging, sleek caseCons:Touch controls can be overly sensitiveNo foam tips includedPremium price (but you’re getting premium performance)

I daily drive a Samsung Ultra 23 phone and have owned the Galaxy pro buds 2, Airpods OG & Pros, and most recently Beats Stuido buds Pro. These headphones are the most comfortable I've experienced for my picky ears. I work in a factory and have at least one in for more than half of a 8 hour shift. The battery on each buds gets me through around 4 hours at 60% volume while periodically enabling pass through to hear coworkers. This pass through mode is fantastic for my hard of earning, tho I've had a feedback issue show more than once resulting in a high pitch squealing sound that is fixed but disabling pass through. This issue feels like interference or an intense increase of noise in your surroundings.Bass is great when the buds are fully seated and dual bud use is almost an complete escape from the factory floor noise. Audio is clear, loud, and with the high quality sound option enabled fantastic ( audio lag in videos is very noticeable with this option on, but also has a warning of this lag below the enbale option). My IPhone using partner who daily drives her Airpod pros didn't notice a difference in the high quality setting. I gave them 5 stars due to sound, battery life, but mostly due to the comfort and pass through mode clarity. A non rounded review would be 4.7 stars because of the mic being very tin-y but better than the beats studio pros. These headphones come the closest to the magic I felt when putting in the Airpod pros. I can not understate the comfort. Charging is quick.Pros-Comfortable as heck, better in ear fit than the pro buds 2 & air pods pros. Microphone for calls & discord is tin-y but can be understood in a factory setting through a beanie. Noise canceling is ok near airport pros but definitely better pass through. Fantastic sound, magnetic case with flat top and bottom which is the weirdest thing to explain how great it is.Cons- battery per bud is shorter than pro buds 2 in my use case. The Find my feature requires a janky setup that feels like they still can learn from apple. Pass through sometimes squeals if certain conditions are meet but feels more like a my job issue than a bug.
