Design and Comfort
The first thing that you are going to register about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is the good looks that it bears. As you will see below, they appear to be like other ear buds, but they come with features that you cannot compare with similar products.
LED Lights and Style
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have small LED lights on it. This may not feel like a major accomplishment, but it offers a nice feature for those interested in good-looking gadgets. You can make it light steadily or pulsate, which adds character to the earbuds.
While the LED lights do not perform a whole lot, it ensures the Buds 3 Pro have some kind of distinction from other earbuds. The lights can also flash when using the “find my” feature, making it easier to locate the earbuds. It’s just that extra bit that makes these earbuds a cut above the rest.

In-Ear Fit and Comfort
Samsung decided to use a stem design on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which allows them to fit better in your ears. These might be ideal if you often struggle with earbuds falling out. The fit is comfortable, and even after hours of walking around or sitting at work, they’ll still feel great. This shape also makes it easier to use the touch controls – or the next thing we have to look at.
The Buds 3 Pro feature other sizes of ear tips in order to cater for all people and get the best fit. Comfort is crucial, especially if you wear them for long periods, as a good fit makes a big difference. Whether you’re working out at the gym or taking calls throughout the day, you can rely on these earphones to stay comfortable and securely in place.

Amazing Sound Quality
Tuning and Balance
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro sound great. Samsung has employed the sound profile of deep bass, clear mid range, sharp treble sounds which are popular with nearly every type of music.
Whether one is into bass or other melodies, the Buds 3 Pro is tuned to give the best of all worlds for any genre of music. It makes all the tracks sound quite bright and clear; you can actually hear the individual vocalist or a separate instrument well.
Samsung Codec and Bluetooth
If you are an owner of galaxy phone then you are in for a real treat. The Buds 3 Pro rely on Samsung’s special codec called Seamless Codec Ultra High Quality, or SSD UHQ, to make sound even better—especially if you listen to high-quality music tracks. If you’re using these buds with a Galaxy S24 Ultra, every beat and sound is further enhanced and at your fingertips.
But if you aren’t a Samsung phone user, do not despair. However, the Buds 3 Pro still work well with other Android gadgets including the Pixel 9 Pro XL. These earphones use Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring a solid connection with no latency—perfect for video or game streaming.

Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode
ANC on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is also present and works nicely isolating sounds of an air conditioner or people talking nearby while it is not as efficient as AirPods Pro or other high-end TWS earbuds. However, the transparency mode is great; it offers little to no sound interference, making it perfect for keeping your ears open when walking around with the earbuds still on.
The adaptive mode makes the headphones switch between noise cancellation and transparence based on the environment. For instance if you are in a noisy environment the ear bud will allow some outside noise to come through. This feature is particularly useful when you need to ensure the car is safe and comfortable for further travel.

Voice Controls and Touch Gestures
A nice detail I was able to experience firsthand is a function that allows speakers in the Buds 3 Pro to exist without a wake-up word. Just mutter the words like “volume up” or “next song” and the earbuds answer such commands to your convenience, especially if you are more occupied. These haptic controls are easy to operate; pinching to pause or play a song, skip to another tune, or switch between modes, and swiping across the stem to control volume. I few times could be challenging, but once you get used to it, it is very easy.

Hearing aids are very convenient because of these controls on the Buds 3 Pro. They allow you to control music, calls and settings without having to touch the phone making them perfect for people who are always on the go.
Limitations with Multipoint Connections
On this note, the Buds 3 Pro has a limitation of not being able to connect to two devices at once as a feature such as multipoint would allow a user to connect the earbuds to say a phone and a laptop at the same time. However, Samsung provides auto-switch for Galaxy devices, and that is suitable if you own several Galaxy gadgets.
This feature is perfect if you are a Samsung appliances user on the deep end but will be quite frustrating if you are a fluid Multi-Device user. There is no true multipoint in these earbuds which could be useful for anyone who has to switch between devices at the same time. Nevertheless, the auto-switch functions seamlessly, moving for example from a Galaxy tablet to a phone call on the devices.
Battery Life and Durability
The battery life of the Buds 3 Pro is good enough. An hour of streaming with the device gives you several hours of listening time, however, if you want to manage your energy then you can opt out on voice controls. Samsung claims that the earbuds themselves are dust and water-resistant with an IP57 rating, but the charging case isn’t—the lack of protection might be a drawback if you want to be less concerned with how long your earbuds are going to last you.
The buds are said to provide users with about 5 hours of playtime with ANC activated and up to about 8 hours without the ANC. The charging case allows you to get an overall playtime of up to 30 hours. This is perfect for an active user who does not want earbuds that will give up on him or her in the middle of using them. The charging case is also wireless charging enabled, thus, you can charge the charging case using a wireless pad.

Price and Availability
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is priced at about $249.99; however, they are on a more affordable offer on sites such as Amazon or Best Buy. Well, as you know it is not the most inexpensive smart speaker but for what it offers: good sound quality, voice assistant feature and good performance is worth the price.
All the features you receive are justified by the price if only you buy them when they are on promotion. As expected, if you have a Samsung device, you’ll be easily benefited from these earbuds, however, if you are using other Android, you still have many features to enjoy.
Final Thoughts: Are Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Worth It?
So, are the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro a good buy? If you own a Galaxy branded device the answer is yes. That is why you will gain such features as the special codec and auto switch that is good for cooperating with other Samsung items. Even when you don’t own a Samsung phone, Buds 3 Pro gives a good experience in terms of audio and comfort.
The main disadvantages are that noise cancellation is not optimal as well as lack of multipoint connection. However, if those are not going to be a problem for you, the Buds 3 Pro has so much going for it. It has clear audio with plenty of bass, an interface that is easy to use and are very comfortable around the ears.
I will say that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a great wireless earbuds if you have a Samsung device or just in general. Reliable and much less prone to issues as many other brands, they also sound great, are very easy to operate and thus should be taken into consideration if one is on the hunt for new earphones.
