does not fit . 9 days ago
This is my third pair of Samsung ear buds. I wanted to try a different kind. Once I received the ear buds I could see there was going to be a problem with them. There was no rubber on the end for comfort or fit. I tried to put them in my ear, but they did not fit and were uncomfortable. They would not stay in my ears the ends were too big. The sound was good, but what good is sound without a good fit.

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the sound quality, a key strength of the Buds lineup. Galaxy Buds are crafted to accommodate different listening preferences, offering a unique approach to audio performance and design. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds, not canal-type, so they lack ear tips. To start, simply place them in your ears, checking the bottom for directional markings, L and R. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing outward, and the L bud into your left ear with the L facing outward. Tilt the blades slightly so the microphones on the bottom point toward your mouth rather than straight down. You can adjust the fit by rotating the buds forward and backward until comfortable. For best results, refer to the online guide on fitting your Galaxy Buds3. We value your feedback as we strive to enhance design and sound quality.

Great Sound but Battery Does Not Last

clab . 10 days ago
I would give the Galaxy Buds3 an entirely positive review if the battery life was longer. The battery is always done about two-thirds of the way through my day, whether I'm using them or not. If they're connected via Bluetooth, they do no last.

Comfort: it doesn’t fit my ears at all. How can you make earbuds without ear tips?
R&R - 7 days ago
Hi there Wisly, Thank you for your feedback. Galaxy Buds3 have a sleek design focused on comfort and ease of use for many users. Properly fitting your earbuds improves sound quality, ensures comfort, and helps prevent them from falling out. Incorrect placement can cause discomfort, sound leaks, and increase the risk of losing an earbud, especially during activities like jogging. Unlike canal models, these open-type earbuds don't have ear tips. To wear them, simply place them in your ears and check for the L and R markings at the bottom. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with R facing you, and do the same with the L in your left ear. Tilt the stem slightly so the microphone points toward your mouth rather than downward. Adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds until they feel comfortable. Since ear shapes and fit preferences vary, your feedback helps us improve. We’ve linked a resource below to help you achieve a good fit with your Galaxy Buds3. Your insights contribute to ongoing design improvements across the Galaxy product line.

The Galaxy Buds3 falls out of my ears when I laugh and it is horrible. However, the technology is great.
R&R - 13 days ago
Hey Terry, Thank you for your feedback. Galaxy Buds3 combine cutting-edge audio with a sleek, lightweight design. Feeling how they fit during natural movement helps Samsung improve comfort-focused designs while maintaining high sound quality and smart features. Proper fit is crucial for better sound, comfort, and secure placement. Improper wearing can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and falling out, especially during activities like jogging. Ensure a good fit to avoid losing an earbud. Since Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds without ear tips, simply place them in your ears. Check for the L and R markings on the bottom. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L into your left with the L facing you. Slightly angle the earbuds so the microphone points toward your mouth, not straight down. Adjust fit by rotating the earbuds until comfortable. See the linked online article for more details.

Worst buds ever owned. Least comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. Volume, Sound and battery life are sub par. Good connectivity with galaxy phone.
R&R - 21 days ago
Hi there HeadphoneWizard, Wearing your earbuds correctly is crucial for multiple reasons. It enhances sound quality, provides a comfortable fit, and prevents them from falling out. Incorrect wearing can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and increased chances of dropping them, especially during activities like jogging. Ensure proper fit by placing the Galaxy Buds3, which are open-type earbuds without ear tips, into your ears. Look for the directional marks—L and R—on the bottom. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L into your left with the L facing you. Slightly tilt the earbuds so the microphone points toward your mouth rather than straight down. Adjust the fit by rotating them until comfortable. For more tips on the perfect fit, check the linked online article about the Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Thank you for your review. We’re happy to have you as part of the Samsung community.

I tried really hard to like these they have some nice features,but they are by far the most uncomfortable ear buds I have ever had.there is a ridge where the 2 pieces come together that cause a sore in my ear in less than an hour of use
R&R - 21 days ago
Hi 0000, Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with Galaxy Buds3. These earbuds are crafted to provide smart features and dependable performance all day long. Wearing them correctly is important for several reasons. It improves sound quality, enhances comfort, and keeps them securely in your ears. Improper use can lead to discomfort, sound leaks, and the risk of falling out. No one wants to lose an earbud, especially while jogging, so ensure you wear them with the right fit. The Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds rather than canal types, so they don’t have ear tips. To use them, simply place them in your ears. Check the bottom of each earbud for directional marks—L and R. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing out, and the L earbud into your left ear with the L facing out. Angle the stem slightly so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth rather than directly down. You can adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until they feel comfortable. For more tips on achieving a good fit with your Galaxy Buds3, check out the online article linked below. Feedback about comfort during longer listening sessions highlights how design details can impact wearability over time. Thank you for choosing Samsung.

A Clemons . 23 days ago
Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I did not like the idea of using ear buds. I thought they would be uncomfortable. I like the sleek look of the buds and the carrying case. I tend to only wear the right ear, while walking the dog, so I can hear my surroundings. The sound is still great. I am still a bit careful about them falling out of my ear. But overall, I like them!

Hi there A Clemons, Thank you for sharing your experience with Galaxy Buds3. These earbuds are designed to be sleek and lightweight, offering clear sound quality even when worn in only one ear. Your feedback highlights how the design helps maintain situational awareness while providing an enjoyable listening experience during everyday activities.

It doesn't fit my ears and keeps falling out. It's good when we sit still, but not for working out.
R&R - 21 days ago
Hi Sridee, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Galaxy Buds3. A secure fit is especially important for users who enjoy listening while staying active. Since the Galaxy Buds3 are open-type earbuds rather than canal styles, they lack earbud tips. To start, simply place them in your ears. Check the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks—L and R. Insert the R earbud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L into your left ear with the L facing you. Slightly angle the blade so the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth, not straight down. Adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward and backward until comfortable. Your feedback highlights how performance can vary with activity level and personal fit preferences. Please see our online article linked below for tips on achieving the perfect fit with your Galaxy Buds3.
