The verdict

With a Samsung phone, the Galaxy Buds3 Pro are competent competitors to the rest of the market. However, if you have an iPhone or non-Samsung Android phone, you may be able to find better value elsewhere.

✓What we like

✓Companion app provides useful customization options

✓IP57 rating offers solid water and dust resistance

✓Sound quality is good out of the box and with EQ adjustments

✓Easy to fit with removable nozzle ear tips that accommodate varying ear shapes

✕What could be better

✕Samsung-specific features limit functionality on non-Samsung devices

✕ANC performance is decent but not amazing, with about 76% noise reduction when enabled

✕Controls require a learning curve, with pinch area located closer to the bottom of stem than middle

✕Battery life is relatively short at 4 hours and 31 minutes in standardized testing
