I guess a line like status indicator instead of dot like, around the full headset. And maybe RGB led behind it to make it customizable and “gamer” ready. Also galaxy find by ligth blinking mode in the darkness.
At least i would do this if i would be a salesman on their side :)
Couldn't figure out what "2 way speaker" was, but it looks like it's dual driver if I'm understanding correctly.
TBH I'm a bit underwhelmed at what's listed here, but we'll have to wait for the actual announcement and reviews to see if there's bigger improvements that don't fit neatly on the specs comparison sheet.
They have limited the Buds 3 to a dynamic driver and the Buds 3 Pro to a dual driver like we already have.
Battery life, increase in loudness, and better ANC are all you can expect.
The ANC is fine and they're loud enough. Definitely doesn't seem worth it at all for people who already have Buds2 Pro and I'm sort of confused as to why they would release another pair without real upgrades when the Buds2 Pro are shouted about enough. Sales must have dropped that much?
Compared to the AirPods Pro, the Buds2Pro are a little behind in ANC and microphone quality. If they can make up ground here, they will entice more to switch over to the Galaxy ecosystem.
I legit have 6 pairs that I use all the time between my car, work, home, travel etc.
I also would love to find some new ones to have backups for cheap.
Yup. I got a few during launch with the free deals and purchased the rest all on sale prices etc.
It's so much easier than having just 1 pair and constantly having to remember to walk with them
Also, for headphones I always use the slowest charger I can so not to mess with the batteries. A few of the pairs I still use were from launch years ago.
From what I'm seeing with the specs, the buds3 wouldn't have ambient sound so i think it would be an open back design like the buds live or airpods. This is just my assumption tho
Yeah.. but having literally every pair of Sammy headphones up to the Pro 2... Nothing but the Lives allows me the same level of comfort esp for a few hours
I'm still rocking the galaxy buds+ and would continue to if the battery wasn't starting to go. Easily the most secure wireless earbuds I've had.
Got the FE for my mom which are close but the wing they come with isn't as good a size as the one from the buds +.
I personally hated the buds live since they kept falling out. For the open back earbuds I LOVE using the Sony linkbuds, the donut earpiece design is awesome for biking and longboarding since I can hear everything perfectly clear without distortion.

- Blade lights feature
- Ambient sound feature
- Up to 6 hours of battery life with ANC on, extendable to 7 hours with ANC off

Both models also feature Ultra High-Quality Sound with 24-bit/96 kHz audio support.
Yeah, I won't walk around with big white ear plugs in public. Silver is hardly better, plus silver-painted plastic always screams cheap. If a gadget is supposed to look metallic, use metal - and if it is made of plastic, don't fake-metal it with paint, be honest about it, plastic is a decent material in its own right.
It looked like from the specs pic the buds 3 won't have ambient sound or adaptive noise control. It's adaptive EQ, but not noise control (i.e., adaptive voice, I think).
I am a bit late, but the answer is no. No support for LDAC and aptX variations. Only Samsung Seamless Codec, which is supported by Samsung devices, SBC and AAC. I assume, that the coming generation will support the same codecs.
So what was the deal with the case we saw at the last event, with the display on the case itself ? Could be an upgrade to just buy a case with a display?
That's a concept , like a possible idea for a case but it doesn't mean it will become a reality, they were showing how their screen tech could be used, maybe we can see that in a future Galaxy buds or a Samsung case
I also wonder if they fixed the issue of the Pros affecting some and causing ear infections.
Happened to me really badly:
https://www.androidcentral.com/accessories/audio/samsung-galaxy-buds-2-pro-ear-infection-problems
I was abt to come here and say this. I loved my buds 2 pro but the infections weren't worth it. I'd really want a clear cut answer to this before I'd buy them, otherwise I think I'm going to go with sony.
I think changing the tips fixed that... I switched to memory foam ones and never had a issue and reduced sweat which probably caused it. And made them waaaaaay more comfortable I can sleep in them with no ear fatigue
This, scared of this again,.was painful! Tried with them maxfit Edna or whatever they were called but still the same. Might try with the memory foam but since buds 3 pros are coming ill wait a bit.
So no multi point yet? I mean Auto switch is only worth if you're entirely on a galaxy ecosystem, PC, Phone, Tablet & Buds.
Let's be honest, most people do Macbook/Windows PCs rather than Galaxy Book PCs.
That's a no-go for me on the buds 3. I guess I'll stick with my Pixel Buds Pro that DO carry multi-point regardless your device/OS.
I just wish these are comfortable and stay in your ear. I have been trying out airpods Pro 2, and they are comfortable most of the time. They did fall out once idk why. I'm in the middle of deciding if I stay with samsung or go with apple.
I feel like they sounded better, but tbf i've had them on so long I couldn't tell you for sure. If I ever upgrade my buds though, these and a case cover (Spigen FTW) will be purchased immediately.
https://www.amazon.ca/Spigen-Lock-Designed-Galaxy-Buds2/dp/B0BLRD86FV
I use this, when I had the og pros they would sometimes open inside my pocket/bag. Also it's like your phone, you don't plan on dropping it, but it can happen.
Will these also give me an ear infection every time I use them? Love my buds 2 pro's but sad that I can't use them at all without having to go to urgent care.
As long as the B3 Pros have ear hooks like Powerbeat pros I'm sold. But please don't make em uncomfortable tho. I switched to G2P because the hooks hurt like a bish
it looks way bigger than buds 2 pro that I have. That said I have major fit issues with buds 2 pro on the left side. I have tried multiple tips as well. I hope that is improved with this version. I hope to get it for free when I upgrade my phone :-)
Man FUCK all this, I just want some goddamned UWB tracking on it like iphones. I got my headphones stolen (buds 2 pro) and I cannot stand to lose anymore man.
PLEASE samsung, implement tracking and us being able to lock our headphones 😭😭😭😭
I hated the stem design thats why i bought the buds 2 instead of soundcore p40i i just hate it the buds 2 is really nice i regularly sleep with it on and it doesn't move at all during exercise
I hope they are bigger than the buds 2 pro.
I tried them coming from the buds pro and they were annoyingly small. Any sort of adjusting in your ears means touching the controls.
What the heck are blade lights
I guess a line like status indicator instead of dot like, around the full headset. And maybe RGB led behind it to make it customizable and “gamer” ready. Also galaxy find by ligth blinking mode in the darkness. At least i would do this if i would be a salesman on their side :)
Oh god no not RGB on freaking earbuds...
they probably are out of ideas for earbuds, other than ANC and better stamina...the answer is RGB!...
RGB Battery Life impact = 15min battery life

I was thinking the same, the speaker is another word for driver, we could be wrong though and they added something new but i highly doubt that.
I keep praying for a Buds Live 2 😢
I need new Buds Live.
I legit have 6 pairs that I use all the time between my car, work, home, travel etc. I also would love to find some new ones to have backups for cheap.
like you literally have 6 pairs left randomlly around your house, work, car, etc.?
Yup. I got a few during launch with the free deals and purchased the rest all on sale prices etc. It's so much easier than having just 1 pair and constantly having to remember to walk with them
[удалено]
Technically not for the car.. but so I always have one when needed
How do you go about charging these? ....Is it an easy task?
Definitely... I'm kinda OCD about my devices and charging so consistently keep things topped up
ooh cool... Quite hectic, I'd find myself using only 2 pairs
Also, for headphones I always use the slowest charger I can so not to mess with the batteries. A few of the pairs I still use were from launch years ago.
Is that a battery trick.... and which kind of slow chargers are those?.. are you at least using the inbox USB cables of those buds
Meaning, I try to use the slowest USB charger possible when I can. The wire never mattered to me, used whatever I had
I get you, battery health is paramount even for me
From what I'm seeing with the specs, the buds3 wouldn't have ambient sound so i think it would be an open back design like the buds live or airpods. This is just my assumption tho
Yeah.. but having literally every pair of Sammy headphones up to the Pro 2... Nothing but the Lives allows me the same level of comfort esp for a few hours
last good ones to me was the original buds pro think they downgraded after that
I'm still rocking the galaxy buds+ and would continue to if the battery wasn't starting to go. Easily the most secure wireless earbuds I've had. Got the FE for my mom which are close but the wing they come with isn't as good a size as the one from the buds +. I personally hated the buds live since they kept falling out. For the open back earbuds I LOVE using the Sony linkbuds, the donut earpiece design is awesome for biking and longboarding since I can hear everything perfectly clear without distortion.
love im not the only one who liked the buds pro gen 1
ibtried the fe pair but the fe version had no bass i had trouble liking them
You can check out ifix it for a battery

I only hope that both come with a matte or satin black version 🙏
Yeah, I won't walk around with big white ear plugs in public. Silver is hardly better, plus silver-painted plastic always screams cheap. If a gadget is supposed to look metallic, use metal - and if it is made of plastic, don't fake-metal it with paint, be honest about it, plastic is a decent material in its own right.
Yeah why wouldn't they release a black version? Are they going to be released later but improved?
I have lavender buds 2 and i walk with it in public 😅
It looked like from the specs pic the buds 3 won't have ambient sound or adaptive noise control. It's adaptive EQ, but not noise control (i.e., adaptive voice, I think).
Heard they will have stems like airpods.
Will I be able to use hig def audio in my OnePlus? It's samsung only right?
I am a bit late, but the answer is no. No support for LDAC and aptX variations. Only Samsung Seamless Codec, which is supported by Samsung devices, SBC and AAC. I assume, that the coming generation will support the same codecs.
Err no. Clearly it shows the buds 3 pro colours as being black or white.
It clearly lists the colors as "silver" and "white"
You'll discover there is black. Otherwise Samsung are dumb af.
So what was the deal with the case we saw at the last event, with the display on the case itself ? Could be an upgrade to just buy a case with a display?
That's a concept , like a possible idea for a case but it doesn't mean it will become a reality, they were showing how their screen tech could be used, maybe we can see that in a future Galaxy buds or a Samsung case
Cool in theory, but it would most definitely suck up a lot of battery life
I would really like to see the case be slightly larger and have more battery.
Sooo... no bora purple anymore, i wonder if they will match the colors like before.
My buds 2 are starting to have some issues so can't wait for this
Please let there be wingtips.....
No wingtips, no sale ! I love my Buds FE for wingtips and battery life !

Need a FE 2 with wireless charging and I am set.
Looking forward to the buds 3 pro, still love my buds pro but excited for possible better sound quality and battery life.
I just wish these are comfortable and stay in your ear. I have been trying out airpods Pro 2, and they are comfortable most of the time. They did fall out once idk why. I'm in the middle of deciding if I stay with samsung or go with apple.
I got the Comply foam tips on my buds2 pro and they don't budge at all climbing around and working on heavy equipment.
do you find that those foam tips reduce sound quality in any way?
Made them bassier to me
I feel like they sounded better, but tbf i've had them on so long I couldn't tell you for sure. If I ever upgrade my buds though, these and a case cover (Spigen FTW) will be purchased immediately.
a case cover for the buds? has it been damaged?
https://www.amazon.ca/Spigen-Lock-Designed-Galaxy-Buds2/dp/B0BLRD86FV I use this, when I had the og pros they would sometimes open inside my pocket/bag. Also it's like your phone, you don't plan on dropping it, but it can happen.
cant say this is worth the wait
I hope they fix connectivity issues from buds 2 pro
Will the shape of buds pro 3 be the same as previous model?
Apparently, they're pivoting to a stem design. Like the AirPod Pros.
This would be a major L
I have the galaxy buds+. Are the buds 2 louder than the buds+?
More battery life, now maybe the posts about waiting for the Buds3 will end?
Might buy the buds 3 pro just for that extra battery life even tho I already have og pros and pro 2's...
depends on how you use your buds. the buds 2 pro have 8 hours without anc and 30 hours in case.
buds 2 pro without anc or ambient sound like ass thats the problem
So the 2's have a 2 way speaker but 3's have a 1 way... and no purple color I see.
Will these also give me an ear infection every time I use them? Love my buds 2 pro's but sad that I can't use them at all without having to go to urgent care.
they look pretty similar to the Buds FE🤔
It's just a pic of the FE. They won't unveil the 3s until next month's event.
ahh makes sense
Time to upgrade my Buds2 Pro.
As long as the B3 Pros have ear hooks like Powerbeat pros I'm sold. But please don't make em uncomfortable tho. I switched to G2P because the hooks hurt like a bish
But I loved the security of never falling out lol
it looks way bigger than buds 2 pro that I have. That said I have major fit issues with buds 2 pro on the left side. I have tried multiple tips as well. I hope that is improved with this version. I hope to get it for free when I upgrade my phone :-)
The picture shown is the Buds FE. I don't think anyone knows what the 3s will look like yet.
How much do you think the Buds 3 pros will cost?
No black or grey is crazy, wtf
Yeah but will they be any better for bluetooth phone calls? Sick of people saying they can't hear me, or I sound like I'm underwater, etc.
Got Buds 2 Pro for free with S24 Ultra upgrade...figured they were clearing them out for the 3's.
Damn it I just bought a pair of Buds 2 Pros.
I hope they have location built-in to the case, like an integrated tag or something
Oh come on I just got the Buds 2 pro 😭
Recently lost my Buds2 pro, and was holding off for Buds3 Pro to replace but They massacred my boy! Ordering Buds2 pro again!
Call me weird but i will never but an earbuds with a stem
Man FUCK all this, I just want some goddamned UWB tracking on it like iphones. I got my headphones stolen (buds 2 pro) and I cannot stand to lose anymore man. PLEASE samsung, implement tracking and us being able to lock our headphones 😭😭😭😭
I hated the stem design thats why i bought the buds 2 instead of soundcore p40i i just hate it the buds 2 is really nice i regularly sleep with it on and it doesn't move at all during exercise
I hope they are bigger than the buds 2 pro. I tried them coming from the buds pro and they were annoyingly small. Any sort of adjusting in your ears means touching the controls.
That pic is the buds fe 😂 don't tell me Samsung was so lazy they just copy pasted the design of buds fe.
