The stem design is a no-go for me. I listen to podcasts and audio books when going to sleep and often end up sleeping on my ear buds. The small rounded design doesn't disturb me much.
I have the buds 2 previously had the buds pro. They bother me if I lay my head on a pillow with them in anyway. And they never stay in my ears. I don't mind the stem design at all. I'm sure it'll offer better weight distribution so I don't know why everybody's hating. Who cares if they copied Apple. That's what they do they copy each other.
I bought a pair of galaxy buds 2 pros this year on Amazon during the prime day sale for just over $100. These replaced a bargain set of ear buds. Well worth the money.
After Bud3 ear tip ripped, and I could no longer get a good fit I repurchased Buds2 Pro and found a new appreciation for how good they fit and sound. ($100 on Amazon)
The buds3 pro are a huge step up in sound quality over the buds2 pro. They're more comfortable for me as well. The features are great, loving those voice commands
The buds 3 pro are less comfortable for me and they fall out too easily for me. The noise canceling is also more consistent on the buds 2 pro than the buds 3 pro. I may just go buy a new set of buds 2 pro and sell the buds 3 pro. The buds 3 pro are too uncomfortable
It not a copy the little sticks do different things to apple. These buds 3 pro are easer fit. I only tried apple few times as I prefer the sony mx4 I say these samsung buds pro 3 are better than apple. I can't wait to try them on samsung translate with Chinese and Spanish . See how good they are. Apple buds don't do that yet do they .
I listen to music 24/7. (Sound engineer is my career.) I have both the 2 and the 3. And my honest review is. The 2 beats the 3 in all different ways, and the 3 do fall out of my ear.
@@deagle7776I'm wearing them rn, they're fine. The stem design is for better microphone quality and ANC. Having the airpods pro, the triangle stem design makes it easier to swipe for volume. It's more convenient since the stem is longer and flatter.
wrong about the mic noise rejection. i have both buds and my colleagues noticed the difference whenever I'm on call. I just attended a MS Teams call using buds3 pro while in a foodcourt and nobody even noticed that I was out of my desk.
Anybody that still don't know how to keep ear phones in their ears are worrying. It's called after market tips. One design ear bud or pod is not going to fit all ears.
Indeed. And even though these are sold as "premium" earbuds, they only come with 3 sizes. For me, the M size eartips included with the Buds2 Pro were too small, while the L size is too big. So I ordered some AZLA Max Standard size ML and they fit perfectly. The noise isolation is now much better with the ML size eartips, and the silicon quality is much better than the included ones, as they are thicker and smoother.
I love my Buds2 Pro and won't be upgrading. Even if it weren't for the lackluster upgrades, I use my Buds2 for cycling and my helmet straps will rip out the stems on the Buds3. I guess I'll be going with Sony for my next buds.
I loved my 2 Pro, design, sound, everything wise. I upgraded to 3 Pro only cause of the trade-in discount. I truly hope that the next gen goes back to the 2 Pro design.
I ordered the Buds3 Pro and after a couple day of use and comparing them to my Bud2 Pro I will be returning the Buds3 Pro. Buds2 Pro just fits my ears better.
I don't understand why "You need a compatible Samsung device" is so stressed. It is the same case with Apple who is always looking upon building their ecosystem but no one bats an eye, give some credits to Samsung for doing the same with their ecosystem.
The ANC between the 2 and 3 pro is very close, but one thing the 3 pro is better at is ambient mode and just regular volume. The Buds 2 Pro just have crappy volume level and the ambient mode doesn't seem to boost like the 3 can. I do dislike how aggressively the Buds 3 attempt to block fast sharp sounds in ambient mode.
I've owned every pair and these by far are the best. There are some trade offs but they are way better that the bud pro 2s and I loved my bud pro 2s. They're also better for others as they hear you better than the others...
Same i loved my pro 2 felt they finally got it right they stayed in when they went back to a round tip. I was on the fence so just got my pro 3s kn prime day for 150. And Jesus are they better in every way. And I wanted to hate them because of the stem
I have buds 1 pro and now upgraded to buds 3 pro if u want to save money get the buds 2 pro they sound almost as good as 3 but if you want more features and better mic buy the 3 and has better ANC
Buds FE are good for the money. More basic on features but still have good ambient, call quality and anc. Audio quality is good but not outstanding. They're also much easier to use the touch controls.
For me the Buds3 Pro are amazing. Coming from using the original Buds Pro the step up is astronomical. Especially in terms of battery life. Sound is great and I quite dig the new design with the stem.
It seems like the wearables this time around (Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro) are just not as good as their predecessors. Glad I got the Buds2 Pro and the Galaxy Watch 6 when I preordered my S24+
My watch 7buktra destroys all my previous watches including my previous favorite the watch 5 pro... 5 pro lasted a tad bit longer but the rest is better build included
I have both Buds 2 Pro & Buds 3 Pro and prefer Buds 2 Pro. For me: Better fit and more secure in my ears Better ANC Am actually pretty disappointed in the Buds 3 Pro!
Bought these earbuds. Completely different experience than you all. A lot less ear fatigue, they completely fit my ears. The buds 2 pro didn't. Only get around 4- 4.5 hours of charge though.
From my experience I like how the Buds 2 Pro fit so well in my ear and that it sticks to my ear even when I do my cardio workout. I also like that it hides when put it on your year and not stick out like those buds with stems. Call quality and ANC are good enough for me and audio quality when streaming music on Apple Music is great. I'll hold onto it for longer.
Is anyone going to mention how GREAT the call quality is on the pro 3s? I'm using them in the gym and the person on the phone with me can't hear anything but my voice. Anyone on the fence about the comparison, hit me up. I have both the pro 2 and 3 models. It's not even close
i disagree when the guy said buds2 pro mic noise rejection is better than buds3 pro. buds3 pro is perfect for calls and online meetings because of its mic. maybe something's wrong with the author's ears? lol
so my buds 2pro broke, would you recommend an upgrade? so far i was very happy with the 2pro. they sound great, are very comfy and stayed in my ear. but the 3 pro look quite cool aswell
I am using buds 2 pro over a year right now and gotta say it has a huge design problem. The case and the buds are made of plastic and in time they get sticky. They get scratched easily but that sticky feeling of the plastic is so uncomfortable. You can feel your fingers stick on top of the case and buds them selves. So if you are going to buy a pair be sure to buy a protective case for the case
The Buds Pro 3 might sound great if I could get a good seal! I've tried all of the different tips with no luck. If I do manage to get a good fit, per the fit test in the Wear app, it doesn't last long. If I yawn or swallow, there goes the fit. Very aggravating after trading in my Buds pro 2. Anyone have any tips or tricks?
Like the guy said everyones ears are different. The Buds3 pro are more comfortable for me. They feel like nothing in my ear. Also agree with noise cancellation not being as much. In my gym the Buds3 Pro doesn't block as much as the music they blast. Not bad but I noticed it didn't block as much before I watched this video
my Buds2 Pro went through the washing machine four times. It survived the first three times, but the fourth time, the case just gave up. The battery won't hold a charge, and the connectors are all corroded. I tried to fix it, but no luck. Now, I'm stuck deciding whether to get a new case for 50 euros or just go for the Buds3 Pro that I've been saving up for. What do you think? Should I save some money and get the new case, or should I just splurge and get the Buds3 Pro like I originally planned? (4:02 you said that a newer samsung phone would it still be compatible with a s22ultra )
This the video I need to watch I was explaining to my friend how I wanted to try the buds 3 pro for the fact that people says the quality sound is better....But I don't wanna trade in my buds 2 pro just incase if I don't like the design of the buds 3 pro..I like how well the buds 2 pro fit in my ear comftably and like..I koke how lowkey and subtle the buds are..especially for work
I had the buds2 pro, now I have the buds 3 pro now. And i like them not a big fan of the stem design. However i lost one of my buds2 pros one day at work and i drive around town a lot for work. The next day i went back couldn't find it. So got the buds3 pro😊😊
The ear tips for the GB2P always fold inside out for me. Idk why, probably just how the shape of my ear is. I've also seen in other YT vids the demonstration of ANC on the Buds3 Pro, and it isn't even close.
I'm trying to decide weather to upgrade from pro 2 to pro 3, I've dropped these pro 2 alot and even in water but they still work great. I'm worried the slick design of 3 would be a disaster for me but I do want to see the better sound quality...
I purchased the buds 3 pro some days ago, got them delivered and tested them out in the bus, and walking around town. I was impressed by the sound quality, but they didnt fit my ears compared to the buds2 pro, also the ANC is worse in my opinion. I refunded them and am enjoying my buds2 pro way more.
I had the Buds 2 pro when they first came out and found them to be the best fitting buds I’ve ever used. I’m considering the Sony XM5 buds but not sure I would like the foam tips
I did a trade-in for the buds3 pro for the buds2 pro. Yeah I changed my mind and paid full price. Buds3 pro fit better during working out but sound quality on buds2 pro is way better and very noticeable in difference.
ANC seems to be something that can be fixed by software updates right? Wasn't it the case with the buds 2 pro? Seems a bit strange to me that buds 3 have worse ANC than the buds 2
the buds pro2 CONSTANTLY have to be pushed back in to stay in my ears, idk what it is about them but they never stay in the way that I want them to and they always start to slip out the Samsung website is saying I can get $100 trade in credit for my buds2pro, can anyone with a similar issue to mine comment on whether the 3pro fixed that issue? that's the only real priority for me, it's infuriating to have to readjust them every few minutes
I'm def with you on this. I personally luv my buds 2 pro. But they did have that annoying habit of loosening and I could never get them to stay flush. With the buds 3 so far, I tend to have the item printed forward and they work just fine so far. J honestly don't know which is louder, but they are def clear.
Question! Doesnt all samsung devices have its own eq in the sound setting without having to use the one exclusive to the buds 3 pro? Is there a difference between the equalizers?
I LOVE THE 3 OVER THE 2!! Here's why and I'll do a review on it soon. I love the original design of the two pro, because they fit right in your ear very comfortable. But one problem I always had THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FALL OUT OF MY EARS NO MATTER WHAT AIR CUSHION I BOUGHT EVEN THE SPECIAL ONES ON AMAZON!! You could use them just listening to music they sounded fantastic. But as soon as you shook your head opens your jaw they would want to fall out. With the 3s THIS JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN SHAKING MY HEAD OPENING MY MOUTH RUNNING BOXING. THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!! I don't know what it is but they just stay in my ears. I never understood why they didn't have special attachments or hooks for cushions that will go around your ears design just for sports. Without changing the entire design. Like you have to buy a different set of earbuds for that I don't get it. Not buying two different sets of earbuds for the same thing.. Sound quality is around the same. Not sure which is better I need some more time to listen to them! Battery life is almost identical. Except with ANC on the three pros last longer with the ANC off the two pros last longer. I like the new features like adaptive ANC.. TOUCH CONTROLS!! At first I hated the stem touch controls they didn't work at all useless! BUT I'M WORKING ON IT I THINK I WAS WRONG! With the twos you just barely touch them and it works well sometimes not well hit or miss but you just have to touch them.. With the stem. I thought you just had to touch them.. which is not the case. THEY MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AND YOU HAVE TO PRESS THEM TO HEAR THE CLICKING SOUND AND IT WORKS VERY WELL! I like this design.. I'll be doing review soon but overall 3 PROS have more features, same battery life, MOST IMPORTANTLY STAY IN YOUR EARS!! Therefore I'll be using them a lot more. As for the battery life sorry to say it to everyone. ( When you have all this technology, and features the battery life is never going to be great.. This is why I have Bluetooth single earpieces I use for talking most of the time. That will last me almost a day talking constantly. And when I want to do serious listening. With excellent sound quality you use the 2 or the three pro!! YES IT'S WORTH THE UPGRADE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE OTHER SAMSUNG PRODUCTS YOU ARE TREATING IN! They get me with that every time. I traded in my Galaxy 5 pro watch, for the 7 ultra, My girlfriend's 5 watch, for the 7 watch, same thing with my daughters. And then I traded in my Galaxy 2 pro buts for the 3pro.. With all these trade-ins!! It cost me no more than 77 for the cheapest to $150 for the most for the 7 ultra.. So yes without a dout IT'S WORTH IT IF YOU GO THAT DIRECTION!! Have not upgraded my Galaxy fold 5 they just didn't do enough upgrades on the 6.. I MEAN COME ON SAMSUNG.. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE ULTRA CAMERAS ON THE GALAXY FOLD SERIES WHICH IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE!! The cameras themselves are great on the fold but where is the zoom The Periscope zoom! And the good macro. Regular pictures are identical. Between the ultra and the folds. But come on Samsung $2,000 for a phone you can't put those cameras on there call it the fold ultra!! FYI I will never GO BACK TO A SLAB PHONE AFTER USING THESE FOLD PHONES!! My girlfriend has the ultra and when I go back and use her phone the screen is just too small no matter what I am so addicted. And I almost never have to close my screen cuz it's not that big. Almost never use the inside screen unless I am shutting it for safety. I can't even fit this thing in my pocket with the case and the s Pen feels a little weird but lol. The fold can shut 200,000 TIMES which is about 5 years 100 times a day or something. I don't open and fold my phone more than 10 or 20 max!! Anyway there's my thoughts Peace out God bless.. and wait for my review!! Not a commercial you a regular dude review truth!!
There seems to be a flaw with the buds 3 pro where you get audio feedback when using active noise cancellation while talking on the phone. I'm experiencing this and wonder if it's just local to me or widespread.
If the Buds 3 Pro isn't a massive step up from the Buds2 Pro in terms of sound then its disappointing The sound quality of the Buds2Pro isn''t great, sound very tinny once you used something like the MTW4, XM5 or DPP
I got em, still have my 2 pros to trade in and compared them. Buds 2 pro sound so much worse. Buds 3 pro the tinny sound is gone, nice and full now, punchy deep bass.
Its like $90 in my country right now, infact on amazon, its another $20 bucks off so i just ordered my buds 2 pro for like $70! I use s20 plus so it made the most sense as a combo! I was using airpods 2 pro (i know dumb but most things work well) and am pretty sure ssc is going to be an upgrade over AAC so heck yeaaah!
I was thinking about buying the buds3 pro. I can't believe the anc is worse. The buds2 pro sound really good and fit amazing in my ears. Honestly what was samsung thinking.
The only issue with the 2 pro is if your earbud suddenly loses sound and you take it in for repairs, they'll tell you they don't have the parts to repair it. So. I just took my full reimbursement and pre ordered the pro 3. :)
I have the both only had 3 buds pro 24 hours so still testing. I did notice a bit about the noise cancelling could be bit better but did good job. The big difference between buds 2pro and 3 pro was how easy the 3pro just drop into the ear with ease no need too twist and push. The never dropped out how much I tried to make the. Some thing else I noticed if you pushed the buds deeper into the ear better noise cancelling and changing on my phone more bass with tight fitting the earbuds great sound . I used sound track from movie magnificent 7 and I could her ever not as clear as bell. I loved the samsung buds 2 pro sound the just hard to fit in the ear. I love these samsung buds pro 3 above my sony bud that are supposed to be the best . I got the lot including the Sony x5 over the ear head phones great sound but the Sony over ear head phones make me sweat. Winner the samsung Buds pro 3. It's a personal choice folks
Stem design looks bad and something from early 2000's in design. Airpods look dumb, and buds 3 looks dumb. Buds 2 pro design was good snd they should of kept it instead of copying airpods crappy design.
5:30 Tmk, the battery inside the Pro 2's are bigger than that of the 3 Pro (unless i'm confusing it with the charger?) but the life difference isn't significant despite that. Just 20-min. difference with ANC on so not a huge difference unless you're using them for gaming which IMHO they aren't great for and one should obtain wired IEM's instead.
I dont do in ears as i always have issues with the rubber tips slipping. I love the sound of the original galaxy buds jellybean look , they are absolutely shite for noise cancelling but sound quality is still top class especially via Poweramp music player .
@@Mund89_89Thanks for the reply, I was just curious but I would definitely liketo own them, what do you think? I currently still have my S10 and Galaxy Buds Plus, I'll be getting the Galaxy S24 Plus soon
@@mazzicus02 I'm sadly not in the posetion of them yet (because of the Quality control fiasco) but I would recommend you wait a couple of months until you can grab them for under 200€/$.
I bought the Buds 2 Pro for $108 yesterday. I mean, this is a very good price compared to the Buds 3 Pro, which aren't much better than the Buds 2 Pro.
Two years in with the Galaxy Buds Pro 2 and the batteries last 4 hours tops now without anc or Ambient modes on. The Rubberized coating is wearing off and the buds eartips cause my ears to produce allot of wax for some reason which has been a theme with me and Samsung earbuds. My cheap Tozo earbuds dont make my ears produce wax and they work just as well without the extra features and they have lasted longer. My old T6 lasted me 3 years and still worked perfectly. I upgraded to the new T20 and Tonal Dots and couldn't be happier. Im not spending $150 on earbuds ever again and sure as hell not spending $250 on earbuds!
@@6SE1SD9been looking for an answer to this everywhere, but can you finally use ambient mode with only one bud in ear like with the Airpods Pro on the new buds?
I compared both of them and set the equalizer on the same settings and the buds 2 Pro sounds better. Noise cancelation is also better with the Buds 2 Pro.
if you ever drop your pods in water? Just wipe it off with a dry cloth or paper towel. Don't try to blow the water with your mouth. Then stick it in a bowl of rice 🍚 for 24hrs to absorb the moisture. & you're good to go!! It happened to me & my buds are working perfectly 👌🏽
@talibjordan9605 yes you can, just need to ship the buds with its charging case. I traded in an old pair of buds + for $75 off and kept my 2s. The ANC on the 3s is worse than that on the 2s unfortunately 😢
first the main thing you should have brought up is mic quality I know you are a apple fanboy and the fact that you didn't say these have better mic then apple is crazy next the pros 3 have better sound then the 2. the pro 3 have better anc then the airpods pro 2 they are up there in anc not bose and Sony level nowhere near that. and the pros 3 block out alot of noise and is better at that then thr buds 2 pro not a great review of comparison
Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro is the best Samsung product I ever seen, especially in design and sound quality, what I dont understand is why the marketing and design department suddenly made such a stupid retrograde of design it really defies logic and wisdom, Samasung should fire its design team including its manager
Not saying here to not get the Buds 3 Pro, is just for me that I will skip this ones and will try the new JBL Tour Pro 3, I held the case and buds and they feel cheap, is weird because with all of the other ones, Buds, Buds plus, Buds pro I felt in love instantly, with the Buds 2 Pro I almost had an orgasm when I held them, this year Samsung earbuds are not for me.
I got the bud 2 pro. And I got the bud 3.... DO NOT GO FROM THE 2PRO TO BASIC BUD 3. You will not be happy... I just picked up a pair of bud 3 pro.... I am hoping they are better than the bud 2 pro... I dislike the new pro 3 design...
Got the Earbuds 2 Pro and dont use them often because after 10 minutes they give me massive amounts of itchiness to the poi t i have to take them off. My ears stay like that for 3-4 days. Nonother ear bud has done this to my ears... Thinking of gwtting the pro3 just because of this.
