There’s a fair amount of consideration that goes into choosing the best audio offerings, from active noise cancellation (ANC) performance to battery life. While some may prefer headphones for better sound and ANC capabilities, the more compact form of earbuds makes them easier to lug around.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is back with the same portable touch, but now sports a different look from its predecessor. Ditching its bulb-shaped flair for a highly familiar stem design, it comes housed in a rectangular case with a transparent lid, and packs more oomph than before.
Part of the performance boost can be attributed to GalaxyAI features, which offer adaptive EQ and ANC, as well as custom optimisation tailored to individual use. The former is a standout in particular, immersing users in a cocoon of sound that does an exceptional job at blocking out the around around them.
For those running supported devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6, the built-in Interpreter tool can also carry out real-time translation when activated in Listening Mode. Armed with the latest tech, how far ahead is the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in the race? Check it out in action against the Nothing Ear, CMF by Nothing Buds Pro 2, and AirPods Pro Gen 2 above.
The Samsung Buds 3 Pro retails for S$358, with the base model coming in at S$258. Both iterations will be available in Silver and White.
