The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are an impressive addition to the market of true wireless earbuds
With significant design changes that enhance both comfort and functionality, these noise-cancelling earbuds promise a snug fit, exceptional sound quality, and robust protection against dust and water.
After a month of usage, it's clear that they deliver on their promises, making them a strong contender for anyone seeking a premium audio experience.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have transitioned to a sleek stem-style design
This change improves comfort and weight distribution, allowing for a smaller in-ear component and better microphone placement. Additionally, the three sets of silicone eartips included in the box ensure a secure fit.
Samsung's choice of colours adds a unique touch to the earbuds. The silver model tested boasts a stunning finish that extends to the case. The angular stem design requires a slight adjustment but ultimately offers two flat control surfaces instead of one, making for intuitive touch controls.
One of the standout features of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is their AI capabilities
They can detect when the user is speaking, automatically lowering the volume and activating ambient mode for seamless conversations without the need to remove the earbuds. This functionality is particularly valuable for those on the go.
The earbuds support multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, though they don't automatically switch between Android and iOS devices.
However, for users with multiple Galaxy devices, pairing and switching is effortless. The built-in voice control feature allows for quick commands, streamlining user interaction.
In terms of sound quality, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro excel with dual amps and dual drivers that deliver a nuanced sound experience with exceptional clarity across the frequency spectrum
Users can expect a cleaner and brighter audio profile with well-defined bass.
The active noise cancellation (ANC) is commendable, effectively blocking out ambient noise during long commutes on the train. The ambient mode is also well executed, allowing music to play while letting in essential sounds from the environment.
Battery life remains a crucial consideration for any audio device, and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offer up to six hours with ANC activated and around seven hours without it
While this may not be groundbreaking, the earbuds typically last around five hours at moderate volume levels, sufficient for daily use. However, the absence of LED indicators for battery levels could be viewed as a missed opportunity.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro deliver a stylish design, fantastic sound quality, and practical features that cater well to users, particularly within the Samsung ecosystem.
The Buds3 Pro comes in two colours: white and silver. It is currently priced at RM999, or RM27.75 per month on Samsung's official website.
