The buds themselves are nice and small as well, and the fit nicely into my ears, these have the stem that you can click to start / stop playback and also adjust the volume which works really well.Using the Samsung wearable app on the phone allows you to change further setting as needed and you can see at a glance the battery level of the not only the buds but also the case as well. I’ve used then quite a lot over the last week and have only charged the case once.These are the first of these type of buds I’ve used, they don’t have a foam or silicon end piece, so they don’t form a tight seal in the ear, this means that even though they do have Active Noise Cancellations you can still hear some background noise.I’ve worn them at the gym and whilst hiking and I’m very pleased to report that they stayed firmly in my ears the full time and I never felt that they would fall out.Sound quality is great, I listen to rock music and I was very impressed with the sound, it’s loud and powerful and crystal clear. And I like the way can adjust the equalizer setting in the app, you can turn up the bass to the max if you want to.Overall I would say that these are a good pair of earbuds, only let down buy the noise cancellation – would have been good if they didn’t let in so much background noise.I would definitely recommend these, for the price they are vey good.

Although I have many Samsung devices, I have not yet had the opportunity to listen via earbuds. The purchase of the earbuds 3 was a hit. Earbuds 3 are packaged in a nice little box. I chose the silver option, I really like the colour it goes with almost everything and looks elegant at the same time. With the first launch, I downloaded a dedicated app that makes you experience even more. I have had many different headphones and earbuds in my life but the sound quality of the earbuds 3 is a whole new level. Apart from the latest songs, I have had a playlist created for many years that I listen to quite often. I didn't know these songs had such an elaborate melodic line, you could say I'm rediscovering these songs. The battery is long-lasting, I've used the earbuds 3 ... MoreAlthough I have many Samsung devices, I have not yet had the opportunity to listen via earbuds. The purchase of the earbuds 3 was a hit.

With the first launch, I downloaded a dedicated app that makes you experience even more. I have had many different headphones and earbuds in my life but the sound quality of the earbuds 3 is a whole new level. Apart from the latest songs, I have had a playlist created for many years that I listen to quite often. I didn't know these songs had such an elaborate melodic line, you could say I'm rediscovering these songs. The battery is long-lasting, I've used the earbuds 3 many times since receiving them and haven't had to charge them yet, which is a huge plus. I have had the opportunity to make several phone calls and this is the first time I have encountered such good sound quality. In addition, I am shocked because I don't have to speak louder for my caller to hear me well. The 360 feature is something I'm encountering for the first time and I think it's a great addition to differentiate earbuds in the market. This feature will be ideal for watching films to get the most out of the soundtrack and sound effects. Active Noise Cancellation is of a high standard and fulfils its function. There is an interesting way to control the earbuds, this time navigating with the Blade and in my opinion this is much better than the way other earbuds are controlled. Importantly, the earbuds are waterproof so I won't be afraid to break a sweat at the gym. The only downside is the lack of different sizes of replaceable earbuds tips in the kit but now hardly any manufacturers add them.

Have been testing the Galaxy Buds 3 for some weeks now - almost by mistake, as I'd originally planned to try the Buds 3 Pro. I'm so glad I got these instead though for reasons I'll explain later.The Buds 3 connected seamlessly to my Galaxy Fold 6 using Samsung's proprietary Bluetooth codec and have provided an absolutely rock solid connection in my usage so far. They have also connected easily and reliably to another Android device I have using the AAC codec so should also work well with other devices.Before moving on to the sound and usage specifics, the Galaxy Wear app provides useful settings options and well as as a number of prebuilt sound eqs and a 10 band equaliser for the user to generate their own custom one to tailor the buds to their sound ... MoreHave been testing the Galaxy Buds 3 for some weeks now - almost by mistake, as I'd originally planned to try the Buds 3 Pro.

There is a noise cancelling option on these but I'm not convinced it does the job that many will expect compared to 'deep ear' IEMS with ANC options.Whether you like to hear your surroundings or be enveloped in background silence will be personal preference but the advantage of the design of these is that they are very comfortable and do not provide ear fatigue during extended usage.Controls work great - slide on the stalks for volume and presses for track skip and play /pause etc all function as expected.Mic quality is very good from my experience also.Finally, probably the most important part, sound quality. I'm actually blown away by these - they fit my sound preferences almost perfectly via the Balanced eq but absolute hit the spot with a couple of very minor in app eq tweaks. No overblown bass, but still enough tight and punchy bass for the music I listen to coupled with plenty of details in the mids and treble region without ever sounding harsh or artificial.Overall, these are highly recommended and have comfortably exceeded my expectations.
