SamsungGalaxy 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)

After using the Pro 2 buds, I did not plan on giving these a shot. The Pro 2 would periodically pause music if I moved wrong, ANC would work sometimes, they made my ears itch and were just uncomfortable to the point where I stopped using them completely.Enter the Pro 3 buds. Took a shot based on reviews because I needed something better for phone calls and watching media on the go. Just for reference, I've been using the Aftershokz bone conductive headset and they're great for what they are but one thing they can't do is block out ambient noise like you experience in an airport, etc..The Pro 3 buds are a night and day difference from the Pro 2s. The voice detection works flawlessly so I can enjoy them at work in an office, specifically a quiet control room without worrying about missing something. So far, battery life is pretty decent, sound quality is EXCELLENT! Pro 3s have good base punch, mids and highs are clear and rich. I haven't used voice commands yet but just pinching either ear bud pauses music (you can hear a tiny click when you pinch so it's very hard to accidentally pause if you're readjusting a bud). The Pro 2 buds would pause if I tried to readjust them at all, the slightest touch would pause. No longer is this an issue with the Pro 3 set.In conclusion, going from the Pro 2 trash buds to these Pro 3 buds has renewed my trust is Samsung's ability to make a great earbud to pair to their great S25 Ultra offering. If you're like me and on the fence, worried they'll be junk like the Pro 2 buds were, worry no more. These were a great purchase and cannot recommend them enough. They look great. The case looks great. They sound great. They fit great, no issues with ANC cutting in and out like the previous generation. Very highly recommend, especially if you're a Samsung user!
