Should I get Buds 3 Pro instead of AirPods Pro?

Hey everyone, I’m using AirPods Pro right now, but I’ve been thinking about getting the Buds 3 Pro since they’re on sale for Black Friday. I also have a $100 coupon, so I’d only be paying around $100. Are they worth switching to? Will I notice any difference in sound or features? By the way, I use a Galaxy S23 Ultra. Thanks, and sorry if this isn’t super clear.

If you’re using a Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Buds 3 Pro will probably work better with your phone. AirPods Pro are great, but they’re really designed to work best with Apple devices. You might not get the same features with an Android phone.

I haven’t tried AirPods, but I love my Buds 3 Pro. With Samsung’s new Bluetooth codec, the audio quality is amazing—especially for Bluetooth. Music and videos sound much better compared to other earbuds I’ve tried. The sound stage and instrument separation are also impressive.

I’m really glad I bought mine!

Thanks for sharing! This is really helpful.

I have the older Buds Live, and honestly, I don’t like them much. I’m considering the Buds 3 Pro too. Anyone else have thoughts about them?

Buds Live are pretty outdated at this point. The Buds 3 Pro are a big upgrade in both sound quality and features. You’d probably notice a huge difference.
