The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are Samsung’s new flagship earbuds and are also available in white and silver. They have a few key differences from the Galaxy Buds 3. First and foremost, they’re noise-isolating buds and include a set of small, medium and large ear tips to choose from (it is critical to get a tight seal to get optimal sound quality). They also have both active noise canceling and a transparency mode. The ANC is the adaptive variety and seems quite good. Samsung says, “the microphones in the Buds 3 series analyze both internal and external sound in real time to enhance sound and active noise cancellation quality through adaptive EQ and adaptive ANC.”

Additionally, the Buds 3 Pro, “constantly collect and identify surrounding sound and automatically adjust the optimal level of noise and sound without manual adjustment through Adaptive Noise Control, Siren Detect and Voice Detect.” This sounds similar to the AirPods Pro 2’s Adaptive Audio features, but Buds 3 Pro doesn’t have a Conversation Awareness mode.
While the Galaxy Buds 3 has a single dynamic driver, the Buds 3 Pro has a 10mm dynamic driver along with a separate planar tweeter, which should help deliver clearer-sounding highs. Samsung also says the Buds 3 Pro has dual amps, which helps reduce wireless hiccups.
Another extra feature the Buds 3 Pro has are lights in their stems or “blades,” as Samsung calls them. They let you know when the buds are in pairing mode and they flash when you use the Find My feature as the buds make a chirping noise (this would make them easier to find in a dark room). You can also just activate the lights by pinching and holding each bud for a few seconds and wear the buds around with the lights on if that’s your thing.
The Buds 3 Pro also has an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance. Battery life for the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is rated at up to 7 hours with noise canceling off and 6 hours with it on. Its charging case features wireless charging as well as a dedicated button for Bluetooth pairing so you can pair the buds more easily with a variety of Bluetooth audio devices.
