I’ve never been the biggest earbud guy, so I shrugged when Samsung introduced its Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which looked almost identical to Apple’s AirPods Pro. I know the AirPods Pro are a good set of earbuds, so if Samsung is copying Apple’s homework, then its latest Galaxy Buds should be, too, right?
Well, I’m happy to report that’s mostly the case — these are the best wireless earbuds I’ve used in a long time. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro fit nicely, sound great, and the charging case is perfectly pocketable. Personally, I haven’t suffered from the quality control issue that’s pushed Samsung to suspend the sale of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro temporarily, but there’s one other thing that’s driving me crazy: the triangular ear stem.
