I’ve been using the Galaxy Buds3 for several weeks now, and many features really impress me. These are the five that stand out most, based on confirmed specs and real-world use.
1. Excellent Sound Quality & Smart Linked Features
The Buds3 use an 11 mm dynamic driver, which delivers punchy lows and clear mids. They also support 24-bit Hi-Fi audio and 360 Audio spatial sound when used with compatible Samsung devices. That means I can get a sense of space and direction in music or video soundtracks, which makes things more immersive. On top of that, features like Adaptive EQ, Adaptive ANC, and Real-Time Interpreter mode make the listening experience smarter and more personalized.
2. Comfortable Design and Improved Fit

If you follow me on social media, you know I hate earbuds that have the rubber tips; well, the Buds3 don’t, which means they are more comfortable in my ears than many older true wireless earbuds I’ve tried. Samsung redesigned them with a blade-style stemmed design, which makes handling easier and helps keep them stable in the ear. Each bud weighs about 4.7 grams, which makes them light enough for long listening sessions without discomfort. They also have an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance, making them reliable for outdoor or workout use.
3. Great Battery Performance
With Active Noise Cancellation turned on, I got about 5 hours of continuous listening from the buds alone. Samsung says turning ANC off stretches that to around 6 hours. With the charging case, the total battery life jumps to about 24 hours with ANC on and 30 hours with ANC off. The case supports both USB-C and wireless charging, which makes recharging more convenient. While battery drains faster with ANC and louder volumes, I didn’t have to charge them every day, which is a win in my books.
4. Strong Call and Noise Control Features
For calls, the Buds3 are decent as well. They have three microphones plus a Voice Pickup Unit, supported by personalized beamforming. This setup focuses on my voice and reduces ambient noise effectively. Coupled with the ANC, it does a good job at cutting out background distractions in noisy environments, making call quality clear and reliable.
5. Useful Smart Features & Ecosystem Integration
I have been using the buds3 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE; they integrate seamlessly into the Galaxy ecosystem. Bluetooth 5.4 ensures stable connections and smooth switching between devices. Adaptive EQ and ANC adjust automatically to my environment, and touch or pinch controls on the stems make navigating audio effortless; all of this can be tweaked using Samsung’s wearable app, which makes it all the way better. The Galaxy Buds3 also support dual pairing, allowing connection to two devices, which means I could also use my iPhone with them simultaneously for seamless audio switching.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I love the Galaxy Buds3 because they offer a well-rounded package: excellent sound, comfortable design, good battery life, strong call quality, and smart ecosystem features. They’re not flawless—the battery life isn’t the longest in the market, and the open-style fit isn’t for everyone since it doesn’t block out as much noise as in-ear sealed designs like Apple’s AirPods Pro. Still, for their price and performance, they strike a great balance, and I would recommend them to people in the Samsung ecosystem.
