Just that my ear is small and it's not a good fix. It would be nice if I can change them.
R&R Team - 1 day ago
Thank you for your review of the Galaxy Buds3, Rondell! The Buds3 offers an exceptional audio experience. Whether you’re making phone calls or enjoying a new playlist during your morning workout, the Samsung Seamless Codec ensures high-quality streaming across devices with audio support of up to 24-bit/96 kHz. We understand that finding the right fit can be challenging for some users, especially since these are open-type buds designed for comfort and ease of use rather than canal types. To help you get the best experience, make sure you are inserting the earbuds correctly. Check the bottom for the directional marks; there is an "L" for the left earbud and an "R" for the right. Start by placing the right earbud, with the "R" facing you, in your right ear and then insert the left earbud, with the "L" facing you, into your left ear. It is also helpful to angle the earbuds slightly so that the microphone on the bottom is pointing toward your mouth, which improves sound quality during calls. You can adjust the fit by rotating the earbuds forward or backward until they feel just right. If you continue to have concerns about the fit, trying different angles can sometimes make a big difference. We hope that this helps give you a better experience with your Buds3. If you have any further 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
Need light on when taking calls. Please!!!

Pblines . 3 days ago
I just bought these and I like them. I however understood that the lights on the side would be customizable. I figured I could turn it on and off while taking a call. This way people know I am on a call. What is the point of the lights if this is not the case. My guess is that you are saving that for the next generation or something like that. If so what is the point here. I'm certain you could program that into these. Please update with this customization. I will gladly change to 5 stars.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Buds3, Pblines! We're glad to hear that you like them. The Buds3 features a brand-new design that allows you to experience amazing audio. With a shape that fits comfortably in your ears, the fresh finishes and new clear charging case truly stand out in a sea of sameness. The Galaxy Buds3 Pro does have blade lights that indicate the current status of the buds. These lights provide useful visual feedback to keep you informed. For more information about the blade lights and their functionality, please check out the link attached. We appreciate your input about custom lighting during calls. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to enhance our products.

I purchased a pair of these, Buds3 for work and the Buds3Pro for personal use at hold. Should have bought two pairs of the Pro's. These are horrible. They don't stay in my ears. They fall out all the time. Tried everything, watched the videos, followed the instructions with no success. Wasted my money on t⁸hese for sure, so don't you do it. Get the Pro's, SO worth it. Could never us these playing sports. Very unhappy and not satisfied with this purchase. Big mistake.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3! We appreciate your interest in our products. The Galaxy Buds3 comes with a newly designed, comfortable fit that ensures your ears stay comfortable throughout the day, no matter what activities you have planned. The Buds3 open-type earbuds provide a comfortable listening experience while keeping you aware of your surroundings. To ensure the best fit, check the directional marks on the earbuds, where you will see an 'L' for the left earbud and an 'R' for the right. 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. For optimal performance, angle the earbuds slightly so the microphone on the bottom is pointed towards your mouth, and adjust them by rotating them forward and backward until you achieve the best fit.

Does not fit well

Sdsh0pper . 8 days ago
The buds look sleek. Sound comes out big and nice. The biggest drawback for me is it does not fit well. I was running fast on the treadmill when it flew off my ear. I had to embarrassingly stop running to crouch on the gym floor to look for my buds. It flew underneath the treadmill behind me. I'm not running with these again. I am planning to give them away.

Poor fit to stay in your ear
1 out of 5 rating
Firecracker . 8 days ago
I bought the earbud 3, not the pro, a couple of months ago and I have struggled to keep them in my ears. These earbuds fail to stay in my ears, especially if I move or walk any at all. The only thing I use these for now is to watch TV when my wife needs the house quiet. I wouldn't recommend these earbuds to anyone.
I have been a long time Samsung customer and been very loyal to Samsung because they have made great products and stand behind them, but these earbuds might be the product that makes me look at a different company for my tech needs.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3. Your feedback is invaluable, and we want to ensure you're getting the best performance from your earbuds. The Buds3 features a new 11mm speaker and an amp-enhanced diaphragm that is 1.5 times more powerful, transforming your sound from dull to dynamic. We understand you’ve been having trouble keeping them secure during use. The Galaxy Buds3 was designed with user comfort and fit in mind, being open-type buds without earbud tips. To use them, check the bottom for directional marks indicating "L" for left and "R" for right. Insert the R bud into your right ear with "R" facing you and the L bud into your left ear with "L" facing you. Angle the earbuds slightly so the microphone points toward your mouth, and adjust them by rotating forwards and backward until you find the right fit. We understand that your primary use has transitioned to watching TV to maintain a quiet environment at home. The Buds3 come equipped with Active Noise Cancellation, which is significantly upgraded from previous models, allowing you to immerse yourself in your shows without distractions. If you haven’t done so already, experimenting with the Ambient Mode might also make your listening experience more enjoyable, particularly if you want to be aware of your surroundings.

We continuously strive to enhance our earbuds, and your feedback is essential in that process.

The ear buds do not stay in the ear; often fall out. Do not work for me
R&R Team - 8 days ago
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Galaxy Buds3. The Galaxy Buds3 comes equipped with enhancements like better sound quality, increased battery life, and upgraded connectivity features compared to their predecessors. We understand how frustrating it can be when earbuds don’t stay in place, and we’re here to help you get the best fit possible. The Galaxy Buds3 features an open-type design, which is a new approach compared to previous models. This means they don’t have ear tips—you place them in your ears, making them more comfortable for longer use. To ensure a proper fit, we recommend checking the bottom of the earbuds for the 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. You can also angle them slightly so that the microphone is pointing toward your mouth, which can help optimize audio quality. If you find they still have trouble staying in place, we suggest adjusting their position by rotating them slightly forward and backward until they feel secure and comfortable. The design is meant to maximize ease of use, but we understand that finding the perfect fit can sometimes take a little extra effort. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always looking to improve our products. We hope you’ll continue to explore their capabilities and find a setup that works perfectly for you. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support.

They fall out way too easy. In a matter of minutes they're falling out have to wear a cap/benie to keep them in.
R&R Team - 8 days ago
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Galaxy Buds3, Derrick. We appreciate your feedback, and it's important for us to hear about your experience with our products. We’ve worked hard to ensure they deliver a robust audio performance, whether you're listening to music or taking calls. We noted your concerns about the fit of the earbuds. The Galaxy Buds3 are designed as open-type buds rather than canal-type ones, which means they don’t include earbud tips. This design allows for a more natural sound experience while keeping you aware of your surroundings. To ensure the best fit, simply place them in your ears, checking the directional marks on the bottom of each bud for left (L) and right (R). Insert the R bud with the R facing you and the L bud with the L facing you. You can adjust the position by slightly rotating them until you find the most comfortable fit. Many users appreciate how easy it is to get started with the Buds3, but we completely understand that finding the right fit can sometimes take a little bit of tweaking. For the best sound quality and to keep them secure, angling the microphone towards your mouth will help ensure clear voice capture during calls. Your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us, and we hope you continue to enjoy the features the Buds3 offers! If there’s anything else you’d like to share or if you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at Samsung Support.
