Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro review: AirPods clones that actually deliver |

There s no way around it Samsung copied Apple in multiple ways on its Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro Not only do the physical designs echo the third gen AirPods and AirPods Pro respectively but Samsung also mirrored a few features too The Galaxy Buds offer Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation ANC Adaptive EQ and Voice Detect which just happen to do the same thing as Apple s Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness And just like Apple does with AirPods and iOS the best features here are reserved for recent Samsung devices If you have a newer Galaxy phone that s the saving grace of these earbuds They re the de facto AirPods you ve probably always wanted Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro design The Galaxy Buds are the most obvious AirPods copycat of the pair sharing a striking resemblance to the third generation regular model that Apple debuted in The shape and location of the speaker and other components are but two examples of the replication on display here Samsung s blade design for the stem does offer some variation but not a ton and there s a gray option for more contrast On the Galaxy Buds Pro there s a lot of resemblance to the AirPods Pro Once more the angular nature of the stem and the gray color are the two biggest differentiators Samsung s blade stem accepts both swipes to adjust volume and pinches for playback and noise controls While the sliding action works well the pinching takes some getting used to My tendency is to place my index finger on the flat panel opposite the back side where you pinch but that doesn t provide enough pressure to activate the controls Instead you have to wrap your finger around the blade to hold it in place Once you figure out how to grip them securely pressing on them is a much easier task The case for both Galaxy Buds models has a similar shape to that of the AirPods but Samsung s choice to go with a clear lid creates some separation and I liked being able to see if the buds were inside without having to open it Samsung also put the USB C port and the Bluetooth pairing button on the bottom where Apple puts the latter component on the back of the case The Galaxy Buds Pro vs Apple s AirPods Pro Billy Steele for Engadget One weird thing about the case is how the earbuds sit in it When you take the Galaxy Buds out of your ears you have to rotate them degrees to put them in the case This doesn t sound like a huge inconvenience until you have to do it a few times a day Samsung did this to make the Blade Lights visible when the Galaxy Buds Pro are in the case which to me doesn t justify the annoyance Speaking of the Blade Lights let s discuss that design choice They re completely unnecessary As the user you only see them when the Galaxy Buds Pro are in the case In that position they function as a second indicator that the earbuds are in pairing mode which isn t needed because the case already has its own LED for purpose on the front You can set them to stay on when you re wearing them or either fade in out or blink but I m not personally into drawing more attention to my earbuds Both sets in the Galaxy Buds series are IP rated so they ll withstand sweaty workouts with no problems However the Pro version is the better option for activities as the ear tip helps keep them in place when moisture comes into play What s more I didn t encounter any discomfort with either Galaxy Buds model when wearing them for hours at a time They both remained comfortable and I never felt like I was enduring some degree of pain to keep them in Samsung is also dealing with some quality control issues on the Galaxy Buds Pro It s nothing to do with functionality but the company paused shipments due to overly fragile ear tips This component has a tendency to tear when you remove them from the earbuds which is a problem if you need to go back to a pair of tips you were using previously Since the Galaxy Buds don t use these they re not affected I ve asked Samsung for an update on the ear tip saga and will update this review when there s more info Notable features Billy Steele for Engadget Besides design Samsung also took a page from Apple when it comes to features on the Galaxy Buds series First both models have Adaptive EQ and Adaptive ANC ーtwo key tools on AirPods These features constantly monitor sound and adjust both the tuning and the noise cancellation based on what you encounter They mostly run in the background and the only time you might notice a change is when music or a podcast suddenly seems slightly louder because of the earbuds doing their thing Samsung went a step further on the Galaxy Buds Pro with some more advanced features Adaptive Noise Control automatically adjusts a mix of ANC and ambient sound based on your surroundings while Voice Detect will lower the volume and activate transparency mode when you start speaking As noted above these are basically Samsung s take on Apple s Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness features respectively There s also a Siren Detect that does the same auto volume reduction and ambient sound thing when it hears an emergency vehicle All of these work as described but I would like the volume reduction and activating ambient sound to happen simultaneously Instead the volume lowers and then a couple seconds later transparency mode kicks in So once you start talking you might feel the need to speak louder until you can hear yourself better when the full capability of Voice Detect kicks in Additionally I m happy to report that Voice Detect isn t easily triggered by coughing like comparable features on other earbuds tend to be The Galaxy Buds series voice features also accommodate simple commands without pressing any buttons or muttering a trigger word You can just say things like play music volume up or answer call for basic tasks These work well once you memorize the accepted phrases like the fact that stop music works but not pause music nbsp The Galaxy Buds series also has a Real Time Interpreter akin to what Google offers on its Pixel Buds In Samsung s case the feature can read and translate other languages When the tool is active you can pinch and hold the stem and the setup with continue to interpret while someone is talking The downside is this whole thing currently requires a Galaxy Z Fold or Flip as those are the only phones running One UI Due to this I wasn t able to test it as my companion device is an S Ultra nbsp Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro sound quality Billy Steele for Engadget The Galaxy Buds offer solid audio performance mainly due to a pleasant amount of low end tone The bass tuning here provides a nice backbone to songs and keeps pace with the punchy highs and full mids That said how the Galaxy Buds sit in my ears affects overall sound quality I could make them sound a little better with a small positioning adjustment but that s not how they d rest on their own If sound quality is your primary concern though the Galaxy Buds Pro is the better option Samsung s choice to use two way speakers and dual amplifiers creates deep sound that s immersive and detailed You ll get the best performance from a recent Samsung phone where you can employ Ultra High Quality UHQ audio and bit HiFi The higher resolution streaming is also available on the Galaxy Buds but it s better suited to the Pro model Both models also offer Audio with direct multi channel support However I don t think that particular mode sounds good on either set of earbuds The audio is thin and favors treble making it less balanced zapping the oomph out of the excellent bass tone When you deploy the Galaxy Buds Pro at their maximum potential with lossless audio you get robust enveloping sound that rivals some of the best earbuds I ve tested I still prefer the tuning of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless to these but Samsung has really flexed its muscle here There s beefy bass when a track like Balance and Composure s Cross To Bear demands it but the echo y guitars and vocals cut through cleanly Plus there s ample fine detail in the texture of the bass line and the crisp drum sounds Active noise cancellation performance The Galaxy Buds have ANC even though they are open type earbuds that don t completely seal off your ears Samsung has done this before on previous models and I still don t understand why The ANC on this model is more like slight noise reduction as it barely makes a difference with any background ruckus you might encounter I m guessing Samsung read the reports about Apple bringing ANC to an upcoming version of its regular AirPods and felt like it needed to beat Apple to the punch Either way if you want true helpful noise canceling earbuds the Galaxy Buds Pro are the better option here You won t find ANC performance that rivals Bose and Sony on the Galaxy Buds Pro but the noise blocking ability is good enough to combat a low to moderate constant roar The earbuds struggle mightily with human voices which is a stumbling block for a lot of the competition I will point out that transparency mode works really well providing a natural option for ambient sound that almost rises to the level of the AirPods Pro I think Apple still has the upper hand there but Samsung has done well to give us something that makes calls easier and doesn t make environmental noise sound overly muted when you actually want to hear it Call quality Billy Steele for Engadget The quality of transparency mode on the Galaxy Buds Pro makes them a great option for hands free calls You can chat without feeling like you need to shout to hear yourself The open nature of the Galaxy Buds also makes them a solid choice for voice and video for you the user For the person on the other end you ll sound slightly better than if you were on speakerphone on both sets which is about average for earbuds these days It isn t pristine but it gets the job done in most circumstances Battery life on the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro Both the Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy Buds Pro had no trouble hitting Samsung s stated battery figures during my tests That s five hours for the former and six hours for the latter and I tested them with ANC on and the volume between and percent Each model gets around additional hours of noise canceling use from the case The cases for both models support wireless charging but Samsung doesn t mention any expected times for full charging from zero or any quick charge features that might be available I ve asked the company for more details here and I ll update this review if there s more to share The competition Despite all of the comparisons to AirPods that Samsung has heaped upon itself Apple s earbuds aren t the main competition for the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Pro That s because Apple headphones aren t good choices for Android users because the company reserves the best features for iPhone iPad and Mac Samsung used to cater to iOS users but it took the same walled garden approach of its rival Galaxy Buds will work with your iPhone but without all the bells and whistles Instead Sony s WF XM is the best alternative to the Galaxy Buds Pro Android and iOS users both get access to the most attractive features which include Speak to Chat voice recognition DSEE Extreme audio upscaling and automatic settings adjustments based on either activity or location iPhone users only miss out on head tracking The XM is more comfortable than its predecessor thanks to a smaller overall design and battery life is longer than both Samsung and Apple at eight hours with ANC on Wrap up I ll be honest when Samsung revealed two sets of earbuds that bear resemblance to two models of AirPods I wasn t expecting much in terms of performance However the company certainly surprised me Audio quality is great on both sets of Galaxy Buds though the Pro model nears spectacular in its sonic capabilities Samsung could use some more polish on its features like Voice Detect but the company clearly sees the value in giving its Galaxy phone customers an analogous experience to what iPhone users get with AirPods Ultimately though the company s previous earbuds were good on their own merits Samsung would be better served by making the next version of Galaxy Buds stand out because of their own unique features rather than just aping the AirPods across the board This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
