Buds 3 Feedback, Orders, and Shipping

Look what I found on Twitter. The poster said it was in the Members app to file an error report for the new Galaxy Watch 6 beta. Hmmmm.

I have both and prefer Buds 3 Pro. 3 sounds noticeably better with its 24bit/96khz mode and custom EQ. Bass is tight and reminds me of over ear planar headphones. Also fit is better and the controls work well.

I did not like the Buds 2 Pros at all, i returned them within a week. They were too quiet and the the seal wasn't great in my ear so the natural sound reduction was extremely poor. IMHO the Buds FE are superior to the Buds 2 Pro in sound and noise reduction.

Buds 3 Pro tips were not good at all, I ended up ordering a set that has the multi flange tips. The noise reduction and fit are so much better now!

And the sound quality is really good, and from my wife's perspective the call quality from the other side is the best she's ever heard from me or anyone else using earbuds so, take that for what it's worth.

For reference I work in a factory/Firefighter so it's loud were i work, ANC is not acceptable for me I need the natural noise reduction from the seal if the tip of the earbuds.

I have both. I got the Buds 3 on pre-order and have been using them exclusively since. I've noticed a few things.

The Buds 3 sound good and I like the design (looks). I wear them when I do yard work using the noise cancellation. When using my Stihl weed eater, I get a loud static cracking sound if the string on the trimmer hits anything hard, like a tree, pole, brick, etc. Fine when edging grass. My Buds 2 never did this. This seems to be a defect in the noise canceling on the Buds 3.

Another thing is wind noise. Riding my bike, the Buds 3 seem to have louder wind noise. I tried the Buds 2 this morning and it definitely was quieter.

Last, I sometimes wear my buds when I go to bed. The Buds 3 are not as comfortable as the Buds 2 due to the stem. There is an advantage to the Buds 2 design here.

So, i like both. I guess I'll use the Buds 3 for just listening to music when not doing anything. Going back to the Buds 2 for yard work.

Stick with the Buds 2 Pro, I have had nothing but problems with my set. Went to get them repaired and they replaced them with a set that had the same exact problem.

I'm glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews. I really like them; they remind me of AirPods, which I did like. I love the way they get quiet when I start talking because I don't use the controls. They stay in and they're comfortable.

I agree. I love my Pro 3 ear buds as well. So comfortable and the sound is amazing 🙌

Yeah they are good

I have a few issues with them.
The design of the stems being triangle is bad. It's difficult to grasp for controls and gestures.

Having stem lights on while on a phone call causes awful sound quality.

The lights overall are a questionable addition considering how complicated it is to turn them on, and the persistent notification once they are on.

Finally no general multipoint Bluetooth connection for non-samsing devices.

But they do sound great, and have exceptional battery life.
