I appreciate your non-biased reviews, as a person who switched back to Samsung. I always preferred the sound quality of the Galaxy Buds, but the comfort of the Airpods Pro. So im definitely snagging these! Great vid.
I'm in the same boat, the galaxy buds sound great but my old air pods pros just felt super comfortable. Preordered the buds3 pro and I'm hoping for similar results 🙏
They all copy each other who cares. Apple is working on foldable phone now to copy Samsung. Same Apple zealots going to call out Apple when that happens? It’s a good design and if you’re an Apple fan you want to root for Samsung because it forces Apple to be better.
That's the only thing where AirPod Pro still win though. In any other category the Samsung Pods are on par or better. The microphone performance should improve over time, both from just learning from your voice aswell as with updates
I agree the microphone on the Apple AirPods is much better. I am a Samsung fanboy so hat's off to Apple. I hope Samsung can improve on this via software update.
@@PecosNM I own airpods pro 2 and I can say that in quiet room condition, the airpods are better but in noisy and windy conditions galaxy buds 3 pro definitely surpasses airpods pro 2 by huge margin.
I wasn't going to get them, but Samsung makes it so difficult to resist with their trade-in offers and special pricing. I ended up paying $100 after trading my Pro 2s and discounts from my workplace
I got a $100 trade-in value for Buds2Pro. Work discount and $50 pre-order. = $85 (including tax) I couldn't pass it up. 😊 I have an Apple work phone and Samsung personal. The Airpods Pro2 have been the go to on both phones. The mic/call quality has been an issue on the Buds/Buds 2/Buds 2Pro. Let's see if Samsung course corrected.🤔
Thanks for the honest review. I was wondering if they were any good. Other reviews were always talking about Samsung copying the style and barely talk about the quality of the earbuds.
Galaxy Buds were a flop and Samsung did switch up to copy the best selling earbuds...AirPods. That's a big deal and something to mention considering Samsung and their fanboys bash Apple nonstop and now have to eat their words
@@lamar310Bro the review cycle isn't about sticking it to one class of fanboy or another. It's not about being all 'ooga booga est yer words'. Not actually a big deal.
Same. They loosing me on the fold and watch though, first time thinking about switching to a diffrent fold phone. The watch, prefer rotating bezel. Headphones, can't wait to try the bud3pro, not sure if it will replace the fe.
I already left the apple ecosystem and got some Galaxy buds pro 2. Not a huge fan of the touch controls on the pro 2 and also not a fan of the bulb design so I was extremely happy when they announced these. I immediately pre ordered and even got 100 off for trading in my buds pro 2 Can't wait till the 24th when they come in!
Every single update I've done using the buds 2 pro, anc and sound quality got noticibly worse over time. So I've downgraded and stayed on an older firmware out of necessity
At 4:45, it is not supposed to switch to Ambient sound. It will only turn on when you start speaking. If you ask why, it's pretty obvious. Imagine enjoying your music in a crowded place, and it constantly switches to Ambient mode. That wouldn't be good, right?
@@michealadebzcoz they are. the blade style with curved futuristic design looks better than the Airpods which just looks like the wired Earpods but got chopped by a cleaver.
both mics on the earphones were good. I listened to it a few times and it sounds like the buds3 pro were working on filtering everything out of the sound except your voice, the airpods have better clarity but a slight echo to them and to be fair i've heard my friend doing things round the house with them and it definitely picks things up. I've already preordered the buds 3 pro and i'd still be happy with that quality.
Samsung may look like a copycat, but other wireless earbuds makers, like Nothing, came to the same conclusion long ago. Apple just got it right from the start, which it deserves credit for. But at the same time, AirPods evolved from Bluetooth headsets, which essentially were long elongated stems that placed the microphone as close to your mouth as possible. And Bluetooth headsets were just smaller and wireless versions of telemarketing/teleconference headsets with their bendy mics. So today’s stem-equipped wireless earbuds really are just evolutions of what came long before them.
@@N1NJAKIDD give me a BREAK. When AirPods came out EVERYONE made fun of them for like 3 years. Give. Me. A. Break. Make different shaped earbuds. Stop making Apple knockoffs.
@@imelliam so what who cares, as you can see Apple didn't invent that shape. You're just tweaking because Samsung made their's look better, with better tech🤣
I personally think the airpods pro sounded better than the galaxy buds. But unfortunately this doesn't matter when nobody can hear you. Everytime I call someone using airpods, they can never hear me well and vice versa. I'm always having to repeat myself. As I've been using the galaxy buds, I haven't really had this problem.
I think it would be interesting to know if you were using 360 audio with the Buds3 Pro (as I saw it was turned off), as have seen a good few videos where, when recorded using 306 audio, it is clearly out performing the AirPods Pro 2. I admit, this is an extra function but I think if the difference is impressive, it's good to show.
9:32 Just about to leave Apple's ecosystem specifically to Sammy. Already got my Tab S9 Ultra, now waiting for the new Watch Ultra and Buds 3 Pro, and it's so nice to hear that Samsung did good here. Clearly Apple did great with the design of AirPods, and Samsung couldn't resist to its benefit. I really hope Samsung will fix the mic quality, because Apple's AirPods sound way better.
I got mine today and the touch controls r not working. Volume up and down slide works but the touch not. 250€ and this? And in the service center they told me i have to send them for repair.Shame
@@macrumors 😁 I like the evaluation and sincerely appreciate it! But if you listen to the mic rest, the speech on the Samsung's is much more muted than the spritely speech on Apple's. Could have been a different state of mind in the moment - not trying to say there is a bias. It was a challenge to evaluate each because the speech was so different. In the end, I listed for the sound of audio processing, which sound about the same.
I was looking into them, and decided to buy them. Ended up paying $93 with education discount and trade-in for buds2, plus the pre-order discount they offer. I can't wait!!
Lol its funny how people in the comments are so triggered, holding Apple up so high like there are no other companies out there. Be open minded, people can be so neurotic these days. Seems like there are so many paid Apple shills in the comments. Yall need to chill stop shitting on something until youve tried it, i have Apple airpods too the battery is shit now so im keeping an open mind in getting something new.
The airpods sound a lot more clear and crisp, the buds sound muffled and tinny. Granted I normally use mine for music and videos. I'm 50/50 as I know I can just use my airpods with my samsungs.
But we can’t take advantage of the transparency mode, ambient mode or noise canceling 😢 I thought iPhone users just had to download the wearable app to take advantage of all the features. Bummer.
I don’t understand Samsungs strategy here. People aren’t going to look at them and think nice Samsung buds, they’re going to think you bought knockoff AirPods
I have a Samsung paired with Apple Air Pod Pros gen 1 (which started crapping out after 1 year). It wasn't even close, the mic sounded better on the Air Pods.
It would be nice if Airpods pro you could have different actions with each bud stem like these can. On the Airpods 2 the older ones you can have the Left and Right bud stem do different actions in the settings. Idk why with the Pro's you can't 🙄
Hi, quick question. Some people said the real-time translator only works with the flip 6. Is it true? Can you please confirm this? I have the s22u, and would love to upgrade to buds3 from my currently beloved bean pods.
Bud 2 pro mic sounds more tinny to airpods pro 2 and airpods sond louder and clearer, i hope samsung can fix this inhave ordered them already and info alot of phone calls with my airpods now.
For me the only thing that needs to be improved is the microphone quality but again this is the first time Samsung has created earbuds like this so maybe the next go around will be much better.
I do use the regular AirPods with my Samsung phone because it’s comfortable. I don’t like the tips or the bean style of the Buds Samsung had in the past. I do have the Buds live and FE version and they both hurt my ears… So I use the AirPods… I am very happy Samsung made an open pair now and I put in my pre order.. I can’t wait to get it. I love your no biased review on these… I just see everyone complaining about it from top to bottom.. at the end of the day..who likes it will buy it.. I use both Apple and Samsung products either way I’ll have options to use both… who cares who has what as long as it’s good..mom getting it.
I'm 100% pro Samsung, so with that being said, the mic sound comparison you did was no comparison. The Air Pods were the clear winner. I'm watching this on my Galaxy Tab 8 plus with my Ear Bud 2 Pro, and the Ear Bud 3 sounds tinny with a digital echo. The Air Pod Pro 3 sounds crystal clear with zero distortion. Disappointing. Almost makes me sick to admit. 😢
Apart from the design everyone is making a fuss about i can tell the Airpods aren't even as feature packed as the galaxy buds and I'm talking custom EQ, neck stretch reminder, 24 bit hi res audio support. And from what I can tell from the video the head tracking and the call quality from the galaxy buds are the only features that it's a bit behind. In other reviews the call quality is better than the Airpods when 360 audio recording is enabled. As for sound quality I think alot of ppl will agree they sound better than Airpods pro even in many reviews due to their slightly thumpier Harman tuning
There is no “thumpier” Harman tuning.. You either follow the harman curve or you don’t, as the harman curve is a specific “V” curve. According to this video Samsungs buds are more bass heavy, where as harman curve is more neutral.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro feel like the first time Samsung has taken Bluetooth audio seriously since the Buds+ in 2020. For the past couple iterations they all just felt like they were being made to fill up space in their lineup with a lot of QC issues that arose because they decided to cut corners somewhere. Not this time. This time, they're actually worth the asking price and can stand up to all the other offerings in this tier.
When you switched from Samsung to Apple, i start says , when will you start testing the AirPods Pro then realized that you are not using the studio mic But AirPods Pro sounds great
The only things that might not work Is the multi point sharing as in sharing your buds 3 between your tablet phone and pc since it use Samsung account, otherwise, the apps works on pixel.
@@kaaniboy1821 yeah it might not be there but it would use the normal Bluetooth code every other buds use such as airpod bose sony etc, anyway it wouldn't change much
These are not AirPods though, that would be the non-Pro.About these though, I think they absolutely destroy AirPods Pro. You get a HiRes capable bluetooth codec (when used with a Samsung phone), the AI interpreter is really cool and useful even if not perfect yet, in terms of sound quality, ANC, ambient mode and such they are on par with AirPods Pro. They're are essentially better AirPods Pro but for Android/ Samsung devices! Well, except for the microphone, although both do well, and if it is noisy outside the Samsung are by far the best current TWS buds
Honestly, I was really looking forward to these Buds 3/3 Pro (the leaks announced multipoint), but like the previous Galaxy Buds since the Buds+, they will not be in my recommendations for my customers and relatives or in my list of future purchases 🤦🏽♂️ Frankly, I can't understand Samsung's stubbornness to want to do like Apple 🍏 and stupidly restrict its earbuds, no standard/real multipoint, no standard Hi-Res codec like LDAC... Wanting to have an ecosystem is not necessarily bad, but you already have to at least offer features like multipoint and a standard Hi-Res codec... that are standards today on even $50-$80 earbuds, but when to have the minimum people have to be in your "close-system" like Apple's 🍏, I say NO ! Samsung could have created the ultimate earbuds for Android users, and even for Apple users (if an app existed on iOS), but I think this title will come back to Google with its future Pixel Buds Pro 2 thanks to Google Assistant + Gemini 😮💨 Ps: on the other hand, it's really a great product for those who are in the Samsung closesystem.
After getting the Buds 2 Pro last year I was excited to see the Buds 3 Pro and I was disappointed in the design even with the case design it looks so cheaply made. I won't be getting these.
@@aralcubukcu based on available reviews, buds3 pro have the better sound quality, especially when paired to a later Samsung device like the S23. You also have the ability to customize your eq settings.
