There is many forums discussing this problem which has NEVER been resolved... the only mode a slight gust of wind won't cause the buds to scream of wind sound is the "off" mode. Anything else the wind is amplified. We have only seen 1 update for these buds. Can we get a update that addresses this along with added features? It's kinda pathetic at this point. Use the Ai to determine if there is wind and auto switch the headphones to "off" If that is the only remedy.
Don't tell me to make sure my stuff is up to date and If I have a proper ear fitment... fix these earbuds please!
It's a problem that's never been acknowledged by Samsung and never will be, the Buds3 were in the process of being released as a perfect upgrade with a huge improvement in ANC quality when the first cases of such reports were made (the week of release). What will happen is there will be, at some unknown time in the future a new product probably called Buds4 released and on the list of new features will be ANC that works well in incident wind. I doubt a software fix is feasible due to the unpredictabity of incident wind direction and force. I suspect any upgrade solution will involve the inclusion of some kind of "pop filter" on the microphones (as is done for professional recording from microphones outdoors). My Buds2 Pro have better (but not perfect) ANC in incident wind than my Buds3 Pro in incident wind probably because the Buds2 microphones don't extend beyond my ear and seem to be well covered internally. You could always try searching for reticulated foam or thick but not dense nylon fabric you could carve your own pop filters from to cover the microphones (I believe they are at the end of the vertical sticks under the ear insert), but don't glue them onto your buds or you won't be able to put them in the case to charge them, so you'd have to take care the pop filters won't fall off (via a very light elastic force).
FWIW, I bought closed back, over-ear bluetoooth headphones from an audiophile brand and rarely use my Buds2 Pro or Buds3 Pro anymore and the ANC on the over-ear headphones has the same problem, not as bad as the Buds3 and overall the Buds2 and Buds3 ANC is better but the default EQ on the over-ear headphones is much better for me than the three sets of Samsung Buds I've owned. Much flatter without boomy bass that overpowers the mids where the actual music and voice is. They suit me but won't suit everyone.
Given your top post effectively with a scenario specific but heavy negative product review and my confirmation of experiencing the same symptom as a negative product review response containing opinions on how it might be fixed without any input from Samsung (other than a new product) there is a fair chance this forum thread will disappear...due to moderator action.
Yeah, the Buds FE were released the year before the Buds3 and have a similar styling to the also older Buds2 (your ear would act as "baffle" from a lot of wind directions). Although my Buds2 Pro are similar in styling to the Buds FE the ANC still adds noise in gusty incident wind but not nearly as much as the Buds3 Pro ANC does. OTOH, the audio quality in still air of the Buds3 Pro with ANC enabled is a lot better than audio quality of the Buds2 Pro with ANC in the same situation. So, the better sound quality Buds3 Pro with ANC is real in general but the effect of incident wind on Buds3 can render it worthless.
