Great Sound with downsides
I love how they sound but every few minutes I have to push them back into my ears. My FE buds did not have this issue, ever.

Hi Gary! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3! It's great to see that you love the sound from your Buds3. We appreciate your observations. It sounds like you’re still getting used to the fit, which is totally understandable. Just a quick reminder that the Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type buds rather than canal types, so they don’t have earbud tips. To get the best experience, make sure to place them correctly in your ears: check the bottom for the L and R directional marks. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you and the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. Also, don't forget to angle the blade slightly so the microphone points towards your mouth rather than straight down. You can rotate the buds forwards and backwards as needed until you find that perfect fit. This should help with any challenges you’re having with them staying in place. Enjoy your listening experience, and feel free to reach out to us at Samsung Support for any further questions or concerns. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-PlusSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

Earbud 3 is not flexible/adjustable
2 out of 5 rating
Ali Mohammed . 2 days ago
The product is good, but it's not flexible or adjustable in the ears. It keeps falling down from the ears and is not adjustable. I bought it in March 2025, and I'm not able to use it.
R&R Team - 1 day ago
It's great to hear from you, Ali. Thank you for sharing your feedback about the Galaxy Buds3. These earbuds are designed with an open-type structure, which does not include ear tips, making them lightweight and easy to wear. To improve their fit, ensure that the earbuds are positioned correctly in your ears. Insert the right earbud (marked with "R") into your right ear and the left earbud (marked with "L") into your left ear, with the letters facing you. Adjust the angle of the earbuds so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth. You can also rotate the earbuds slightly forward or backward until they feel secure and comfortable. We hope these tips enhance your experience with the Galaxy Buds3. If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-PlusSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

I just find the ear pods are too big to stay in my ear. After sometime they keep falling out.
R&R Team - 1 day ago
Thanks for reaching out to share your review of the Galaxy Buds3, Michelle. We hate to see that you haven't had the best experience so far with the fit of your buds. The Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type buds rather than canal types, so they do not have earbud tips. To get started, simply place them in your ears and check the bottom of the earbuds for directional marks—you will see an L and an R. Insert the R bud into your right ear with the R facing you, and the L bud into your left ear with the L facing you. Angle the blade slightly so that the microphone on the bottom points towards your mouth rather than straight down. You can adjust the buds by rotating them forwards and backwards until the fit feels right. If you have any other concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-PlusSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

They would have received a 5 but they often fall out of my ears.
R&R Team - 1 day ago
We appreciate you sharing your honest feedback regarding the Galaxy Buds3, Sandy. It's great to see that they have worked well for you overall but we'd like to help you achieve a better fit. The Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type earbuds rather than canal-type ones, so they do not come with ear tips. To begin, simply place the earbuds in your ears and look for the directional marks on the bottom—they will indicate "L" for the left ear and "R" for the right ear. Insert the R bud into your right ear, ensuring the "R" is facing you, and the L bud into your left ear, with the "L" facing you. Gently angle the earbuds so that the microphone on the bottom points toward your mouth instead of straight down. You can adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds slightly forward or backward until they feel comfortable. If you have any further concerns or questions, be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-PlusSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

The sound on the Galaxy Buds is great! However, the buds do not fit snuggly in my ear, and will fall out from time to time with movement.
R&R Team - 4 days ago
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, Pete! We're glad you love the sound quality. We completely understand your concern about the fit. Since the Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type buds without ear tips, it can take a bit of adjusting to find that perfect fit. To ensure they sit snugly in your ears, start by placing the right bud (marked with an R) in your right ear and the left bud (marked with an L) in your left ear. Make sure the marks are facing you. A little tip: angle the bud slightly so that the microphone points towards your mouth. You can also try rotating the buds slightly forwards or backwards until they feel secure. Give this a shot and we're sure you'll find that perfect fit that keeps them in place even with movement! If you have any further concerns or questions, please be sure to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-PlusSamsung US Originally posted on Samsung US

Love the features and the weight, issues with the shape being a tad uncomfy and the responsiveness of the touch controls
R&R Team - 4 days ago
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3, Dhaniel. It's great to know that you enjoy the features and lightweight design of these earbuds. Regarding the shape, the Galaxy Buds3 are crafted with an open-type structure to prioritize comfort during wear. For better fit and stability, try adjusting their position by rotating them slightly or ensuring the microphone is oriented toward your mouth. The touch controls on the Galaxy Buds3 enable intuitive gestures like pinching and swiping to manage music, calls, and other functions. To enhance responsiveness, make sure the touch-sensitive sensor areas are clean and free from moisture, as sweat or liquid can sometimes affect their performance. Additionally, you can personalize the touch gestures through the Galaxy Wearable app to better match your preferences.Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope these tips enhance your experience!
