Samsung's top-of-the-line Galaxy Buds 3 Pro make a change for the better by adopting the stem-style design of the AirPods Pro. Highlights of the $249.99 noise-cancelling true wireless earbuds include a snug fit, nuanced sound quality with exceptional clarity, and above-average protection against dust and water. However, their limited codec support for non-Samsung Android phones and underwhelming battery life mean they fall short of our Editors' Choice award. Our top honors go to the $249 AirPods Pro for their seamless Apple device support, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds for their unbeatable active noise cancellation (ANC), and the Sony WF-1000XM5 for better codec options. If you have a Samsung phone and find the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro's AI features appealing, however, they're definitely worth considering.
Design: Angular Stems and a More Comfortable Fit
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a stem-style design. Samsung notes several reasons for the switch from previous models, including improvements to comfort and weight distribution. I'm a fan of this change since the stem allows for a smaller in-ear component, better microphone placement, and more convenient touch-control surfaces. I also concur that these earphones are more comfortable than their predecessors. The three included sets of silicone eartips the box further ensure you achieve a secure fit.
