We always preferred samsung for it's original personality along with quality within it.if you really support stem design so much why don't you choose the airpods instead? it's literally the same thing as ppl buying stem design buds from android based brands to get cheaper experience while impressing or even having personal feeling of owning "airpods"

Love the FEs. I have the Buds 3 Pro, and i can't get them to stay in my ears, no matter the tip size. Just drove a u-haul truck from Albuquerque to Denver and the FEs were GREAT for noise canceling and stayed put. Highly recommended!
@kartikeyamalik5488 I got the fe, and general sound quality, they are great!! I can hear stuff I haven't heard with other headphones I used (all be it, these are the first real actual expensive headphones I have used) and even if it sounds off, I know ow samsung has an equalizer to fix if a part sounds off,
@@kartikeyamalik5488 both the sound quality and the bass are really good. I switched from my JBL Vibes to the FE's this fall. They sound a little better tbh. They stay in better for sure. I also listen to a bunch of EDM, rock, jazz, old hip hop. They're great. they have a few different preset equalizer settings to pick from. Drown out the snap of my nail gun or the drone of my snowblower / lawn tractor /chainsaw admirably and enjoyably.
Just updated my S24+ to OneUI 6.1.1 and got high res codec option for Buds3 Pro. I think there is an actual difference. They sound even more amazing imho.
A detailed nitpicking made me decide for the Buds FE: - ANC surprisingly better in most aspect - While mic is at lower quality, it sounded the most intelligible which is a must. Buds 2/pro and 3/Pro sounded like you have a strong lisp going on despite having a higher bit rate - Longest battery life - Best fit ergo best passive noise isolation (my ears) - Cheapest - best value Cons like slightly "worse" sound quality, inferior ambient mode and basic features are outweighed by its strong points.
I was in the same boat and what made me seal the deal was that somehow I got some sort of $75 promo from the Samsung store, and they were running a $20 promo on the FEs too. I had some Samsung credits from my 24 Ultra purchase earlier in the year, and it literally came down to the dollar that I got the FE buds for free. I'm usually the "top of the line" type of purchaser, but I think fit is the most important attribute to an earbud. Who cares how good it sounds or what features it has if it hurts or gives you rapid ear fatigue. Every review said the FEs have the best fit. So, while I would love to hear the Buds 3 Pro sound quality, I didn't want to gamble $150+ to see. Rather, snagged the FEs for free. They do fit well and features are fine for what they are. If you can piece promos together, the FE is the best value from the Samsung. Can't beat free, especially when the field is actually quite close comparing across the board between all these gens.
The buds 2 pro are £20 more on amazon for like 2 months now and they are amazing too.fe are a bit meh and I don't trust them because they exploded in someone's ear
@@ahmedkhawaja5376 I bought the pros but they literally never shipped, canceled my order n got tje FEs within a couple days ngl for $70 not bad does the job for what I need em for
@@ahmedkhawaja5376every device with Li-ion/Li-polymer in them can explode/burn. These batteries are very fragile, they can be easily damaged by a multitude of reasons. Temperature, humidity, bad charging controller, etc+. Best be careful with everything Li-ion related.
well what about the earbud prone to falling when you attemp to scratch your skin near your ears and your hands accidently yeeting off it from your ears? Not to mention, the hissing sounds
On all the buds review videos, why we are talking 90% about their ANC capabilities and not about the sound quality. I mean sound is the primary job for these buds and that should be the 1st priority.
If having a stem and "looking like an airpod" is the price for having a better audio quality for calls, ANC, and battery so be it, people love to complain for the sake of it or over a complex... As if both companies doesnt copy each other, in the end its only a win for the consumers
Ive had regular Buds 2 for the past 2 years and they were incredible to me. Also my first earphones with ANC. I hate those stem like designs, they never feel secure in my ear, so went for the Buds 2 Pro. Took some time to get used to them since i was used to the regular 2's that they go right deep into my ears and STAY. Never had better fitting earbuds. These 2 Pro's took some time to get used to but they're also pretty good
Buds FE are the winner for me, mainly because they actually stay in my ears whilst running. Sound quality is more than enough to enjoy a good tune or two. I feel it's a real shame Samsung went with the stem design for the 3 Pro. Hopefully, there will be some more winged designs in the future 🤞
@georgemiller6740 Which earbuds do you have? Maybe I'll give them a try sometime. I tried some Bose earbuds, Bud 2 pros and some of those Shoks bone conducting sets (the latter beiny too tinny for me), and tbh found Buds FE to be more than good enough SQ, considering how much cheaper they were. Also the ANC/Ambient is great for switching between when you need to listen out approaching cars like crossing a road, get to the other side, and just switch the noise off again 🙂 Factor in that they are nealy alway on sale for around £65 to £75 and I think they are great value. Oh, and most importantly, they don't fall out my ears 🤣😵
@georgemiller6740 for 99$ i do agree samsung cheaped out on some area, making the buds lacking compared to others in the similar sub 100 price point. But now that buds 3 pro are out, they go on lots of sales. I got mine for 30$ brand new with warranty, and they're absolute bang for my bucks
@@nmeister67 I own the Status between 3anc buds. They have a triple driver system which makes the mids, Lows and highs sound perfect with really detailed sound. They even have a built in subwoofer for a nice punchy bass which you can turn off in the EQ settings if you don't like. They're currently £133 on the Status audio website but they are more than worth it. They even have Anc and transparency mode and they support wireless charging. By far the best detailed sounding ones so far 👍
I have the buds 3 pro and 2 pro. From my experience, the anc is significantly stronger on the 3 pro. Sound quality feels a bit fuller. And controls are more convenient (I often make accidental touches on the 2 pro). On the flip side, the charging case was a huge step down. It won't stand up with the lit open and buds removed. Hell, I put on the clip protecting case and it won't stand even with the buds inside. And there's no charging indication light on the inside. I can't tell if the buds are fully charged by opening the lit unless I check the wearable app. Previous buds cases have a red/green light to tell if they're fully charged. Hope samsung could utilize the blade light to show charging information
@@unscstormtrooper8964 If buds are inside, led on the case shows the status of the buds. If it's green, they are full and if red, they are still charging. If case is empty, led will show the battery state of the case.
I still make accidentally touches on the stem since the pro3s actually fall out easier than the pro2s. The sound on the Pro3 definitely needs adjustments out the box, bass is too overpowering and you'll hear rattling. Mic quality is way better, but I still prefer the Pro2 for everything but work calls
Opening the lid does show the battery and you'll notice that when you put the buds back in it'll be red, wait until they're charged and the indicator will be green when you open the lid again. The same indicator shows the battery level for both the buds and the case itself.
My buds 2 lost the metal grille in one side, though it still works. I had bought a pro a while back, but I gave it to my sister. Bought a new FE and I am very happy and its easier to clean.
Mike, the other thing that makes the 3 Plus better is regarding volume and pause/play, they have voice controls, you don't even need hands to control the buds. Another feature that the 3+ has is audible translation.
Buds FE are great, and I recommend, especially if you are on a budget but also for everyday use. I wish the case had wireless charging, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me
I just got my galaxy bud 3 pro yesterday. I've only worn them once at the gym they seam to stay in my ears really well. Time will tell if I like them better then the other three sets I have. I really like the buds fe
I've also noticed the Buds 3 Pro when worn in a loud classroom, block out EVERYTHING. The best you'll hear is very quiet whispering even tho people are talking normally.
Thanks - this kind of in-depth comparison is super helpful. I also agree that finding a good fit for the individual is of great value, and the variety of products may mean that what's best for me may not be best for everyone.
The Galaxy buds Live need way more love, I loved it so much especially with the Amazon custom tips so they stay in your ear better, they were so easy to put in and take out, the noise cancellation was just perfect enough to turn on music and not hear anything else, The battery lasted forever and I just find it to be the most convenient and cheapest headphone, I use those for work and keep them in my car and I keep my buds3 pro at home for the gym or mowing the yard
I can't wear any full in-ear buds, they hurt my ears after 30 mins. While I can wear "half in ear" buds (like the Buds 3) for hours with no issues. Have been using the Buds 3's since they came out and they're amazing! They're comfortable, audio and mic quality is great. Battery life is insane on these. The gestures and voice commands are perfect too. There's a really useful trick with these and the 3 pros that not many know about: Activate buds voice commands in the wear app (play music, pause music, etc.), then open the camera and set your phone a distance away while connected to the Buds. Now just say "play music" and the camera will take a picture! It's very useful for me since I'm on a foldable (Honor Magic V3) and your can set it up on any surface easily.
I just recently bought them and so far so good, have you had problems with them falling out of your ear? I've been seeing that as a complaint when I saw the reviews for it
Been waiting for a video like this! I've had the Buds Plus, Buds Pro 2, and the Buds FE and out of the 3, the Buds Plus is my favorite for just hanging at home or while at work. The Buds FE are perfect for working out since they barely ever fall out. The Buds Pro 2 are my least favorite. The noise cancellation was the best for these, but I could never get them to fit comfortably. Loved the colors on it - but even the Buds Plus has a lovely color range. For those of us who don't need all the bells and whistles the Buds Plus are an excellent choice - I wish they weren't discontinued but at least it's successor the Buds FE are around and affordable!
Love the original galaxy buds purchased in March 2019, used daily for workout music/video, plus hours telephone conversation. Battery waned at 3.5yrs of use, thus relegated these favs to workouts only. At present, at 5.5yrs of use, sadly I have to let them RIP, and will purschase FE as replacement. Purchased Galaxy bids2 Pro Nov 2022 as daily telephone use, ugh, and can't wait for them to die. Hate the fit, but the purchase price was high Nov 2024, thus will suffer until the end. Looking forward to the new Galaxy buds FE for workouts and video tablet watching. Thanks for all your wonderful tech videos. Ps still hanging in with the Galaxy 4 watch and very pleased. Tablet S7Fe, ok, but made mistake when purchased Nov2021 as it only has 64GB. Operating systems take huge chunk. Use 1TB SD card that helps. Galaxy buds work seamlessly within the Samsung network.
All the stemless buds hurt after wearing them. They sucked for sleeping. The only headphones that works for sleeping are the Airpods Pro and Airpods. Curious to see if these are any comfortable
I thought my ears had problems that Buds 2 Pro fell off every time after a minute even when I walk but 0:44 shows that they don't stay even in the hands LOL
I agree, the Buds FE have better ANC when it comes to blocking high frequencies. I compared them to the Buds 3 Pro and they outperformed them, which was a little disappointing. The Buds 3 Pro also do have constant static sounds and even if you are playing music, if the volume is somewhat low you can hear it. I also found that if you are close to a fan or there is a high pitch sound, like a scream or yelling, the Buds 3 Pro will go from Ambient Mode directly to ANC and slowly fade into Ambient Mode again after a while. This I found weird as I just had them set to Ambient Mode, not Adaptive Mode. Now it could be just that the ones I received are faulty because none of my other earbuds did that, not the Buds 2 Pro or the Buds FE. Overall, I like the Buds 3 Pro but would prefer the ANC and Ambient Mode from the Buds 2 Pro and the Buds FE.
Buds 3 Pro win overall for me. They're the most functional for me, less errors with the touch area, are more comfortable for my ears, call quality is excellent and the anc and ambient noise is solid.
Ah, I feel very lucky to buy Samsung Buds 2. I got it at a price $21.99 I bought on Amazon using a discount voucher. It was really good. .... and I think the sound is very clear and significant compared to other buds that I have tried. Yes, even though the ANC is lacking in my opinion, but this is very good and very good.
Thank you for your in-depth review & comparison. I have both the Pro 2 & Pro 3 and after about a month in, I would consider them equally good but different. One thing I noticed was that when using voice detect mode, the Pro 2 mutes the music more quickly & evenly, while the Pro 3 seems to fade from one side to the other when it kicks in. Have you or anyone else noticed this phenomenon?
Not at all. In fact I just used them on an airplane for the first time, and the ANC rivaled that of my Bose Quiet Comforts which are the over ear style. Sounds like a defect or software glitch. Hope that helps!
I've had a few pair of Galaxy earbuds and I always find myself going back to the Galaxy buds 2 Pro aside from the original Galaxy buds the second generation is my favorite
The FE seems to be a really good option, I have one and was thinking about getting a 2 pro if I saw a promo, but I think I'm keeping the FE. When you configure adaptad sound and use the dynamic EQ, the sound on these are amazing, the best I've used, but these are my first Samsung buds. Also the Buds FE has levels of ambient sound, it's on the accessibility controls.
You haven't talked about sports.. One of the biggest things for me as I mentioned in my previous comment is that 3bpros don't fall out of my ears where the 2prono matter what tips I bought would fall out of my ears.. This is absolutely huge I shake my head jump up and down box whatever they don't budge!! I could never use my twos when I was doing sports going for a bike ride I always thought they were going to fall out of my ears if I even yawned!! Occasionally they would stay in but everything would have to be perfect.
I got the buds 2 pro for around $150 pretty early after they came out, and I’d definitely recommend them for that price. I might have had a discount because I previously had the buds plus (which, by the way, hurt my ears a bit with the heavy stiff design and wingtip, which is also something to consider about the FEs). Funny enough, I still had a Galaxy s10e at the time and I have an iPhone 15 now, but all the settings I set on the app have carried over so I’m still able to use all the touch controls that I modified in the app, even the double-tap edge. I just can’t use the couple niche features like gaming mode or the dolby whatever (which I kept off anyways because I preferred the sound without it). The buds3 pro are tempting mostly because my biggest complaint about the 2 pros is exactly the fact that the touch controls are so sensitive and I find myself constantly triggering them (especially the double tap edge, which weirdly triggers sometimes even when I twist the earbud to fit better). I might just upgrade if my next phone is a Samsung.
I have the FE's sincle like 7 Months and I love them soooo much but what I need to mention is that my ear starts to hurt after an hour of wearing them because of the nob which hold them better in your ear. My case also has a peoblem with charging both buds at the same time, one isn't charging if both are inside the case but the battery lifes soooo long. I really love their noice canceling and the transparency mode is also pretty fine. You can hear what people say even thoigh you have a bit of a white noise in the back but you can hear people clearly.
I Need Assistance doing a Hard Reset of the left side Battery Percentage Showing up on the Phone Wear App the Right Side Works Reflecting the Battery Percentage & the Actual Percentage Only when all three use to Show on My Samsung Pro2 Earbuds.
Buds FE have excellent ANC. Eartips are way too small tho. The large size are more like medium in other brands..Im using large size from Buds 2 and now my buds FE are perfect.
I find that quite interesting, because even the smallest eartips of the FE were too large for me. I guess that shows how different ears are and how complicated it is to find designs fitting most people.
Been using the buds 2 for 2 years now. Its ok, but the buds pro is better, though the durability is insane for me. its opposite of what you experienced since min got lost outside in the rain and got rolled over by a car and when i found it the next day its still running perfectly after it dried up. And I knew it got ran over by a car since it has tire marks on it, like a bit of black rubber residue on it.
Why does no video have the Galaxy Buds 1? They come in a smaller oval, cylinder case, pretty discrete, less options ofc than the rest, but pretty solid
I would go for for buds 3 pro coz I want instant language translation. You did an extensive review. Could you do one just on the instant language translation with ear buds? For example can I share one ear buds with another person and he speaks in French and I speak in English and we both can hear and understand we understand each other in our own language through the solitary ear bud?
I agree! So many reviewers are missing this feature (even a YT with a foreign accent who could have easily tested it in his native tongue). Plus it has an adjustable equalizer (my Pro 2 doesn't).. Not sure he mentioned that
@cgreen6369 well the problem is all reviewers keep omitting the fact that the ios upgrade that allows for such special features like the equaliser you mentioned is only for the more recent samsung devices released. If you have a Samsung galaxy fold 4 or earlier, good luck to you. I have a fold 4 and several of the features mentioned by YT reviewers don't exist with my phone even after it has an upgraded OS of 6.1.1
I have the Buds 2 pro, 3 pro, and airpods pro 2. Buds 3 pro definitely are the best sounding of the 3, and I prefer the fit. Airpods pro 2 are the best for ANC, in my opinion.
17:10 the constant static noise still persists in all galaxy buds especially in the right buds. I have an issue with my fe also anytime i put on anc or ambient controls it starts giving that static noise and sometimes it just works fine i think its a software issue tho.
I bought the 2 pro after losing my buds plus, and honestly the wing tips are important enough for me that the fe is more attractive to me than the 3 pro
Hey Mike. Another interesting and useful video as usual. Thank you for that. Got a question for you. I have 3 main criterias when choosing earbuds. Comfort, sound quality and volume, but for one specific scenario which is watching movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc... Of all the earbuds you have tried in let's say the last year, could you give me a list of 3 models under 150$ that meet all of the 3 criterias mentioned above please? I would like it a lot if you could include one of the Samsung models you talk about in this video as well, since I have many Samsung products at home already. Thanks! 🙂
I've had the buds 3 pro for 2 days now. They seem like Samsung wants you to use your voice more because it's awkward to control anything with stem design vs the buds pro 2
The buds have definitely changed a lot from how they used to be. Now, they're all using stems and stuff. I still like the previous buds better, though. They're just so simple.
Awesome vid, maybe ad a mic in a bike test to see how they behave in a windy environment? I bike a lot to move around and the buds 1 could not handle wind. Buds 2 pro decently when I got them now not so good. Buds 3 pro, I don't know don't have them and the static noise prevents me from getting them 😅
A big problem with touch controls for me is that I have long hair that goes over my ears. My hair activates the touch controls on a lot of ear buds. I don't see a lot of reviewers talking about this, probably because they have short hair.
I got the original samsung buds with my s10+ and I was surprised about how good they sounded compared to any kind of wired ear buds I tried before. Then earlier this year I bought the Soundcore NC4 because I wanted noise cancellation. Even though they sound great, it is hard to get a proper seal which is very important for ANC. They sent me bigger silicones but still it does not fit properly and during a flight it keeps loosing seal. It just sucks. And I have to turn the mics allmost towards the ceiling to get some kind of seal. I hate that Samsung changed their design more like the Apple Airpods as I am sure that just like the NC4's, will not seal my ears properly. Now I ordered an A55 for my mother that came with free Buds FE that she didn't want. They are very similarly shaped to the original buds, and thus give me a perfect fit. The NC in the plane is as good as my Bose QC35, I think they even block crying babies better than the Bose which is a blessing. I am 51 years old so my hearing gets worse and worse, but these sound great to me. I even used them at work to block noise at the office. Perfect for me.
I haven't tried the 3 Pros, but I could never get the older models to seal all the time. I needed a bigger tip and no 3rd party made one that would fit in the case. Even when I could get a seal, I hated the highs and high mids. Too brittle and a bit digital sounding.
I have the galaxy buds pro galaxy buds plus & now the galaxy buds 3pros out of all of them i really loved the plus perfect fit & great sound the original buds pros was the worst now the galaxy 3 pros are absolutely perfect 👌🏾 had to get it for my s24 ultra 😀
The static noise is incredibly annoying. They also produce that weird electric screeching noise that you'd expect on broken headphones. Plus the anc in a buss/train/car causes an incredibly annoying popping sound. I am returning mine.
I need to upgrade from my buds 2 as they don't hold a change for longer than 2 hours anymore. With current promotions I can snag the buds 2 pro for $55 with trade in or the buds fe for $35 with trade ins. I work in the landscaping industry and am on a zero turn lawn mower 7 months out of the year and then using leaf blowers and snow blower the other few months. Which of the 2 would be best for me with anc? I would prefer wireless charging but If the buds fe are that much better I can look past that. I'm also not interested in the stem design of the buds 3 and 3 pro. Thanks you.

Love the FEs. I have the Buds 3 Pro, and i can't get them to stay in my ears, no matter the tip size. Just drove a u-haul truck from Albuquerque to Denver and the FEs were GREAT for noise canceling and stayed put. Highly recommended!
How's the general sound quality and bass, i love listening to rock and edm
@kartikeyamalik5488 I got the fe, and general sound quality, they are great!! I can hear stuff I haven't heard with other headphones I used (all be it, these are the first real actual expensive headphones I have used) and even if it sounds off, I know ow samsung has an equalizer to fix if a part sounds off,
@@kartikeyamalik5488 both the sound quality and the bass are really good. I switched from my JBL Vibes to the FE's this fall. They sound a little better tbh. They stay in better for sure. I also listen to a bunch of EDM, rock, jazz, old hip hop. They're great. they have a few different preset equalizer settings to pick from. Drown out the snap of my nail gun or the drone of my snowblower / lawn tractor /chainsaw admirably and enjoyably.
Just updated my S24+ to OneUI 6.1.1 and got high res codec option for Buds3 Pro. I think there is an actual difference. They sound even more amazing imho.
you got it automatically by installing the update or is there any settings?
@@fevad1246 If you update the phone, you then have to enable high res sound in the Wear app when Buds are connected.
Can't wait for update for fold 5

Available for s23 ultra as well?
A detailed nitpicking made me decide for the Buds FE:
- ANC surprisingly better in most aspect
- While mic is at lower quality, it sounded the most intelligible which is a must. Buds 2/pro and 3/Pro sounded like you have a strong lisp going on despite having a higher bit rate
- Longest battery life
- Best fit ergo best passive noise isolation (my ears)
- Cheapest - best value
Cons like slightly "worse" sound quality, inferior ambient mode and basic features are outweighed by its strong points.
I was in the same boat and what made me seal the deal was that somehow I got some sort of $75 promo from the Samsung store, and they were running a $20 promo on the FEs too. I had some Samsung credits from my 24 Ultra purchase earlier in the year, and it literally came down to the dollar that I got the FE buds for free.
I'm usually the "top of the line" type of purchaser, but I think fit is the most important attribute to an earbud. Who cares how good it sounds or what features it has if it hurts or gives you rapid ear fatigue.
Every review said the FEs have the best fit. So, while I would love to hear the Buds 3 Pro sound quality, I didn't want to gamble $150+ to see. Rather, snagged the FEs for free. They do fit well and features are fine for what they are. If you can piece promos together, the FE is the best value from the Samsung. Can't beat free, especially when the field is actually quite close comparing across the board between all these gens.
Main reason I didnt get the fe is the water resistant
The buds 2 pro are £20 more on amazon for like 2 months now and they are amazing too.fe are a bit meh and I don't trust them because they exploded in someone's ear

Still rocking my buds+. Been using them for over 3 years and will not be letting go
I was up until recently. Unfortunately, one of my buds fell into a hot cup of coffee. I've replaced them with the Buds FE.
I lost mine and I still miss them. Great sound, comfort and battery
@@Tyrone2714 Get some Buds FE to replace them..
@starcade90 hows the sound quality difference? Do you still prefer the plus or is the fe basically the same?
Buds+ still holds a punch. Been using for 4 years plus and is still one of the most comfortable out of the bunch.
I got the galaxy buds 3 for free with my galaxy watch 7 and i have zero complaints.
well what about the earbud prone to falling when you attemp to scratch your skin near your ears and your hands accidently yeeting off it from your ears? Not to mention, the hissing sounds
Not had any one of those but i guess earbuds are always controversial as your ear shape matters way more @fevad1246
I didn't got buds three even I bought both ultra and 7😭😭
On all the buds review videos, why we are talking 90% about their ANC capabilities and not about the sound quality. I mean sound is the primary job for these buds and that should be the 1st priority.
Because for U the Buds FE might be way better than the Buds 3 Pro, but for others it might be exactly the opposite
Sound quality is more objective than ANC.
If having a stem and "looking like an airpod" is the price for having a better audio quality for calls, ANC, and battery so be it, people love to complain for the sake of it or over a complex...
As if both companies doesnt copy each other, in the end its only a win for the consumers
Got my current buds 2 pro on sale at amazon for 100 and was definitely worth it
Ive had regular Buds 2 for the past 2 years and they were incredible to me. Also my first earphones with ANC. I hate those stem like designs, they never feel secure in my ear, so went for the Buds 2 Pro. Took some time to get used to them since i was used to the regular 2's that they go right deep into my ears and STAY. Never had better fitting earbuds. These 2 Pro's took some time to get used to but they're also pretty good
There's another offer now. Educational discounts and instant offers
Buds FE are the winner for me, mainly because they actually stay in my ears whilst running. Sound quality is more than enough to enjoy a good tune or two.
I feel it's a real shame Samsung went with the stem design for the 3 Pro. Hopefully, there will be some more winged designs in the future 🤞
I would say for £99 they're not worth it for the sound quality. I have earbuds that are far cheaper than the FE that sound way better.
@georgemiller6740 Which earbuds do you have? Maybe I'll give them a try sometime.
I tried some Bose earbuds, Bud 2 pros and some of those Shoks bone conducting sets (the latter beiny too tinny for me), and tbh found Buds FE to be more than good enough SQ, considering how much cheaper they were. Also the ANC/Ambient is great for switching between when you need to listen out approaching cars like crossing a road, get to the other side, and just switch the noise off again 🙂
Factor in that they are nealy alway on sale for around £65 to £75 and I think they are great value.
Oh, and most importantly, they don't fall out my ears 🤣😵
@georgemiller6740 for 99$ i do agree samsung cheaped out on some area, making the buds lacking compared to others in the similar sub 100 price point.
But now that buds 3 pro are out, they go on lots of sales. I got mine for 30$ brand new with warranty, and they're absolute bang for my bucks
@@nmeister67 I own the Status between 3anc buds. They have a triple driver system which makes the mids, Lows and highs sound perfect with really detailed sound. They even have a built in subwoofer for a nice punchy bass which you can turn off in the EQ settings if you don't like. They're currently £133 on the Status audio website but they are more than worth it.
They even have Anc and transparency mode and they support wireless charging. By far the best detailed sounding ones so far 👍
Buds FE are definitely good for their price, but finding the Buds2 Pro for less than £100 was unbeatable. @@nmeister67
I have the Buds FE and after watching this video I will not be changing them, seems like I made the right choice.
You want to be able to hear sirens so you don't get absolutely demolished because you didn't hear the ambulance
That was definitely a stupid comment on his part lol
It made sense. The sirens are loud you don't need to here them of your just on the side walk
@@KeithHepburnsome people just blast their music with anc, it's not always noticeable especially if your on a busy sidewalk.
How about don't use your phone or earbuds while driving. Too many morons driving recklessly
How about not using noise cancelling earbuds on the road
I have the buds 3 pro and 2 pro. From my experience, the anc is significantly stronger on the 3 pro. Sound quality feels a bit fuller. And controls are more convenient (I often make accidental touches on the 2 pro).
On the flip side, the charging case was a huge step down. It won't stand up with the lit open and buds removed. Hell, I put on the clip protecting case and it won't stand even with the buds inside. And there's no charging indication light on the inside. I can't tell if the buds are fully charged by opening the lit unless I check the wearable app. Previous buds cases have a red/green light to tell if they're fully charged. Hope samsung could utilize the blade light to show charging information
@@unscstormtrooper8964 If buds are inside, led on the case shows the status of the buds. If it's green, they are full and if red, they are still charging. If case is empty, led will show the battery state of the case.
I still make accidentally touches on the stem since the pro3s actually fall out easier than the pro2s. The sound on the Pro3 definitely needs adjustments out the box, bass is too overpowering and you'll hear rattling. Mic quality is way better, but I still prefer the Pro2 for everything but work calls
Opening the lid does show the battery and you'll notice that when you put the buds back in it'll be red, wait until they're charged and the indicator will be green when you open the lid again.
The same indicator shows the battery level for both the buds and the case itself.
@Sheepybish but it only shows the buds if they're in the case and the case if the buds are out the case. Old buds had a separate light for each.
@@jdmz1103 True but my point was you can still see the battery level without checking the app as op seems to believe.
For anyone in Australia, the Galaxy Buds 2 pro are currently available for $159 Aussie dollars ($106usd)
My buds 2 lost the metal grille in one side, though it still works. I had bought a pro a while back, but I gave it to my sister. Bought a new FE and I am very happy and its easier to clean.
Mike, the other thing that makes the 3 Plus better is regarding volume and pause/play, they have voice controls, you don't even need hands to control the buds. Another feature that the 3+ has is audible translation.
The voice clarity from the buds 3 and the FE are very impressive.
Galaxy Buds FE on top, great bass, amazing anc and ambient sound and good enough battery life
They jave the best battery life of all of them and yeah I love mine
Buds FE are great, and I recommend, especially if you are on a budget but also for everyday use. I wish the case had wireless charging, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me
I just got my galaxy bud 3 pro yesterday.
I've only worn them once at the gym they seam to stay in my ears really well. Time will tell if I like them better then the other three sets I have. I really like the buds fe
Do they stay in your ears well when you workout?
How's your experience so far, im considering getting the buds 3 pro
Hey Brian, thank you very much for really sitting down and evaluating each product and then providing an honest review. Great job!
I've also noticed the Buds 3 Pro when worn in a loud classroom, block out EVERYTHING. The best you'll hear is very quiet whispering even tho people are talking normally.
Thanks - this kind of in-depth comparison is super helpful. I also agree that finding a good fit for the individual is of great value, and the variety of products may mean that what's best for me may not be best for everyone.
Memory foam solve the issue of better noise cancellation and better hold during workouts and more comfort for longer duration of usage
Samsung is 100% crazy on the price tag of the Buds 3 Pro.
So in your opinion that price tag isn't really worth it for what you get?
@@colinluckens9591 Never
The Galaxy buds Live need way more love, I loved it so much especially with the Amazon custom tips so they stay in your ear better, they were so easy to put in and take out, the noise cancellation was just perfect enough to turn on music and not hear anything else, The battery lasted forever and I just find it to be the most convenient and cheapest headphone, I use those for work and keep them in my car and I keep my buds3 pro at home for the gym or mowing the yard
I can't wear any full in-ear buds, they hurt my ears after 30 mins. While I can wear "half in ear" buds (like the Buds 3) for hours with no issues.
Have been using the Buds 3's since they came out and they're amazing! They're comfortable, audio and mic quality is great. Battery life is insane on these. The gestures and voice commands are perfect too.
There's a really useful trick with these and the 3 pros that not many know about: Activate buds voice commands in the wear app (play music, pause music, etc.), then open the camera and set your phone a distance away while connected to the Buds. Now just say "play music" and the camera will take a picture! It's very useful for me since I'm on a foldable (Honor Magic V3) and your can set it up on any surface easily.
I've had the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for 2 years and the only problem I have with them is that the case gets scratches very quickly.
I just recently bought them and so far so good, have you had problems with them falling out of your ear? I've been seeing that as a complaint when I saw the reviews for it

I love my Buds FE
Owner of buds FE. Best fit and similar to buds plus
Thanks for commenting. I got the 2 pros and i hate them. Coming from Buds+
Been waiting for a video like this! I've had the Buds Plus, Buds Pro 2, and the Buds FE and out of the 3, the Buds Plus is my favorite for just hanging at home or while at work. The Buds FE are perfect for working out since they barely ever fall out. The Buds Pro 2 are my least favorite. The noise cancellation was the best for these, but I could never get them to fit comfortably. Loved the colors on it - but even the Buds Plus has a lovely color range. For those of us who don't need all the bells and whistles the Buds Plus are an excellent choice - I wish they weren't discontinued but at least it's successor the Buds FE are around and affordable!
Love the original galaxy buds purchased in March 2019, used daily for workout music/video, plus hours telephone conversation. Battery waned at 3.5yrs of use, thus relegated these favs to workouts only. At present, at 5.5yrs of use, sadly I have to let them RIP, and will purschase FE as replacement.
Purchased Galaxy bids2 Pro Nov 2022 as daily telephone use, ugh, and can't wait for them to die. Hate the fit, but the purchase price was high Nov 2024, thus will suffer until the end. Looking forward to the new Galaxy buds FE for workouts and video tablet watching.
Thanks for all your wonderful tech videos.
Ps still hanging in with the Galaxy 4 watch and very pleased.
Tablet S7Fe, ok, but made mistake when purchased Nov2021 as it only has 64GB. Operating systems take huge chunk. Use 1TB SD card that helps.
Galaxy buds work seamlessly within the Samsung network.
All the stemless buds hurt after wearing them. They sucked for sleeping. The only headphones that works for sleeping are the Airpods Pro and Airpods. Curious to see if these are any comfortable
Pixel buds, non pro, are the best buds for sleeping
I had the Buds2 (not Pro), and they are comfortable to sleep in, but they fall out of my ears constantly.
@@kyndramb7050 the 2 pro are slightly better at staying in ears than the 2
I compared 2 pro and 3 pro, there s very noticeable difference in sound, great bass n super clarity. ANC and the mic is also noticeably better.
Buds FE are crazy well price for what you get
I thought my ears had problems that Buds 2 Pro fell off every time after a minute even when I walk but 0:44 shows that they don't stay even in the hands LOL
I agree, the Buds FE have better ANC when it comes to blocking high frequencies. I compared them to the Buds 3 Pro and they outperformed them, which was a little disappointing. The Buds 3 Pro also do have constant static sounds and even if you are playing music, if the volume is somewhat low you can hear it. I also found that if you are close to a fan or there is a high pitch sound, like a scream or yelling, the Buds 3 Pro will go from Ambient Mode directly to ANC and slowly fade into Ambient Mode again after a while. This I found weird as I just had them set to Ambient Mode, not Adaptive Mode. Now it could be just that the ones I received are faulty because none of my other earbuds did that, not the Buds 2 Pro or the Buds FE. Overall, I like the Buds 3 Pro but would prefer the ANC and Ambient Mode from the Buds 2 Pro and the Buds FE.
I like this content, I like how detailed you made this video, I’ve been wavering between those buds so much and I like your good looks too😚😚
Buds 3 Pro win overall for me. They're the most functional for me, less errors with the touch area, are more comfortable for my ears, call quality is excellent and the anc and ambient noise is solid.
Ah, I feel very lucky to buy Samsung Buds 2. I got it at a price $21.99 I bought on Amazon using a discount voucher. It was really good. ....
and I think the sound is very clear and significant compared to other buds that I have tried. Yes, even though the ANC is lacking in my opinion, but this is very good and very good.
Thank you for your in-depth review & comparison. I have both the Pro 2 & Pro 3 and after about a month in, I would consider them equally good but different. One thing I noticed was that when using voice detect mode, the Pro 2 mutes the music more quickly & evenly, while the Pro 3 seems to fade from one side to the other when it kicks in. Have you or anyone else noticed this phenomenon?
Hi, have you noticed the hissing noise mentioned with the 3 Pro?
Not at all. In fact I just used them on an airplane for the first time, and the ANC rivaled that of my Bose Quiet Comforts which are the over ear style. Sounds like a defect or software glitch.
Hope that helps!
@@snake91172 thanks!
I've had a few pair of Galaxy earbuds and I always find myself going back to the Galaxy buds 2 Pro aside from the original Galaxy buds the second generation is my favorite
The FE seems to be a really good option, I have one and was thinking about getting a 2 pro if I saw a promo, but I think I'm keeping the FE. When you configure adaptad sound and use the dynamic EQ, the sound on these are amazing, the best I've used, but these are my first Samsung buds. Also the Buds FE has levels of ambient sound, it's on the accessibility controls.
You haven't talked about sports..
One of the biggest things for me as I mentioned in my previous comment is that 3bpros don't fall out of my ears where the 2prono matter what tips I bought would fall out of my ears.. This is absolutely huge I shake my head jump up and down box whatever they don't budge!!
I could never use my twos when I was doing sports going for a bike ride I always thought they were going to fall out of my ears if I even yawned!! Occasionally they would stay in but everything would have to be perfect.
I got the buds 2 pro for around $150 pretty early after they came out, and I’d definitely recommend them for that price. I might have had a discount because I previously had the buds plus (which, by the way, hurt my ears a bit with the heavy stiff design and wingtip, which is also something to consider about the FEs).
Funny enough, I still had a Galaxy s10e at the time and I have an iPhone 15 now, but all the settings I set on the app have carried over so I’m still able to use all the touch controls that I modified in the app, even the double-tap edge. I just can’t use the couple niche features like gaming mode or the dolby whatever (which I kept off anyways because I preferred the sound without it).
The buds3 pro are tempting mostly because my biggest complaint about the 2 pros is exactly the fact that the touch controls are so sensitive and I find myself constantly triggering them (especially the double tap edge, which weirdly triggers sometimes even when I twist the earbud to fit better). I might just upgrade if my next phone is a Samsung.
I have the FE's sincle like 7 Months and I love them soooo much but what I need to mention is that my ear starts to hurt after an hour of wearing them because of the nob which hold them better in your ear. My case also has a peoblem with charging both buds at the same time, one isn't charging if both are inside the case but the battery lifes soooo long. I really love their noice canceling and the transparency mode is also pretty fine. You can hear what people say even thoigh you have a bit of a white noise in the back but you can hear people clearly.

My Buds 2 are still durable even after 2 years of daily usage
Great Video - looking forward to the ring comparison!
Buds FE have excellent ANC. Eartips are way too small tho. The large size are more like medium in other brands..Im using large size from Buds 2 and now my buds FE are perfect.
I find that quite interesting, because even the smallest eartips of the FE were too large for me.
I guess that shows how different ears are and how complicated it is to find designs fitting most people.
@@KatzenminzeWarVergeben wow you're ear holes must be Tiny while mine are huge 😄
Been using the buds 2 for 2 years now. Its ok, but the buds pro is better, though the durability is insane for me. its opposite of what you experienced since min got lost outside in the rain and got rolled over by a car and when i found it the next day its still running perfectly after it dried up. And I knew it got ran over by a car since it has tire marks on it, like a bit of black rubber residue on it.
I just got the pro buds 3 but its too early to tell how well I like them but my old buds 2 were pretty sweet so I like and will keep them as well.
The FE for me for sure. But then, I recently came across the QCY Melobuds which are very well reviewed.
The Buds FE's wing tips don't do much to my ears. They don't even touch any part of my ear lol but I like them a lot
I just got the Buds 3 pro and also have the Bose ear buds comfort definitely getting a 2nd pair of the 3 pro for my 2nd phone
bro you know that you can connect both of the phones at the same pair, right?
Why does no video have the Galaxy Buds 1? They come in a smaller oval, cylinder case, pretty discrete, less options ofc than the rest, but pretty solid
Great review. I'm still rocking my Galaxy Buds Live. However, for travel, I use Sony XM5's.
I would go for for buds 3 pro coz I want instant language translation. You did an extensive review. Could you do one just on the instant language translation with ear buds? For example can I share one ear buds with another person and he speaks in French and I speak in English and we both can hear and understand we understand each other in our own language through the solitary ear bud?
I agree! So many reviewers are missing this feature (even a YT with a foreign accent who could have easily tested it in his native tongue). Plus it has an adjustable equalizer (my Pro 2 doesn't).. Not sure he mentioned that
@cgreen6369 well the problem is all reviewers keep omitting the fact that the ios upgrade that allows for such special features like the equaliser you mentioned is only for the more recent samsung devices released. If you have a Samsung galaxy fold 4 or earlier, good luck to you. I have a fold 4 and several of the features mentioned by YT reviewers don't exist with my phone even after it has an upgraded OS of 6.1.1
I have the Buds 2 pro, 3 pro, and airpods pro 2. Buds 3 pro definitely are the best sounding of the 3, and I prefer the fit. Airpods pro 2 are the best for ANC, in my opinion.
I also faced hissing sound in ANC at max level. At 1/2 and 3/4 level, it vanishes.
For 3 pro
17:10 the constant static noise still persists in all galaxy buds especially in the right buds. I have an issue with my fe also anytime i put on anc or ambient controls it starts giving that static noise and sometimes it just works fine i think its a software issue tho.
I bought the 2 pro after losing my buds plus, and honestly the wing tips are important enough for me that the fe is more attractive to me than the 3 pro
I bought Buds 3 (together with Galaxy Watch 7) for the price, not for the open ear design.
I enjoy the bud 3 open ear design. It was really hard for the others to fit in my ear😅
Very helpful. My wife lost a buds 2 earbud while walking over a bridge yesterday. Looking for a replacement.
Hey Mike. Another interesting and useful video as usual. Thank you for that. Got a question for you. I have 3 main criterias when choosing earbuds. Comfort, sound quality and volume, but for one specific scenario which is watching movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc... Of all the earbuds you have tried in let's say the last year, could you give me a list of 3 models under 150$ that meet all of the 3 criterias mentioned above please? I would like it a lot if you could include one of the Samsung models you talk about in this video as well, since I have many Samsung products at home already. Thanks! 🙂
I bought the buds3 pro. They hold very well in my ear. Sound is amazing.
Id love an edition to the open earbud video with the 3s in it
Addition*
I've had the buds 3 pro for 2 days now. They seem like Samsung wants you to use your voice more because it's awkward to control anything with stem design vs the buds pro 2
some people are totally happy with Jabra earbuds
The buds have definitely changed a lot from how they used to be. Now, they're all using stems and stuff. I still like the previous buds better, though. They're just so simple.
Appreciate you for being so hands on
Thank you for taking the time to share. I definitely hear a difference with the Galaxy 3 Pro. The 2 Pro I hear a difference.
Awesome vid, maybe ad a mic in a bike test to see how they behave in a windy environment? I bike a lot to move around and the buds 1 could not handle wind. Buds 2 pro decently when I got them now not so good. Buds 3 pro, I don't know don't have them and the static noise prevents me from getting them 😅
A big problem with touch controls for me is that I have long hair that goes over my ears. My hair activates the touch controls on a lot of ear buds. I don't see a lot of reviewers talking about this, probably because they have short hair.
That static hissing sound is a no go for me. I tested two pairs of buds 3 pro, both had this issue
I got the original samsung buds with my s10+ and I was surprised about how good they sounded compared to any kind of wired ear buds I tried before.
Then earlier this year I bought the Soundcore NC4 because I wanted noise cancellation. Even though they sound great, it is hard to get a proper seal which is very important for ANC. They sent me bigger silicones but still it does not fit properly and during a flight it keeps loosing seal. It just sucks. And I have to turn the mics allmost towards the ceiling to get some kind of seal.
I hate that Samsung changed their design more like the Apple Airpods as I am sure that just like the NC4's, will not seal my ears properly.
Now I ordered an A55 for my mother that came with free Buds FE that she didn't want. They are very similarly shaped to the original buds, and thus give me a perfect fit. The NC in the plane is as good as my Bose QC35, I think they even block crying babies better than the Bose which is a blessing.
I am 51 years old so my hearing gets worse and worse, but these sound great to me. I even used them at work to block noise at the office. Perfect for me.
I haven't tried the 3 Pros, but I could never get the older models to seal all the time. I needed a bigger tip and no 3rd party made one that would fit in the case. Even when I could get a seal, I hated the highs and high mids. Too brittle and a bit digital sounding.
Thanks for posting this video
i dont know where reviewrs are looking up these prices but the buds 2 pro are 110euros in all colorways here in europe
Consider FE for gym, regardless the lack of water/sweat resistence, for me, its a flaw. But...its just me.
Guys, I need your advice, samsung Buds 2 Pro or samsung Buds 3
Great video thanks for the useful information
Nice vid man
I like buds live
brother how do use your buds mic in recording ?
Will putting on wing tips/hooks on the 3 pro mess with touch controls?
Should i get the Buds 3 or Buds FE ?
Great video. Thanks
First I buy the Fe and then watch this
I have the galaxy buds pro galaxy buds plus & now the galaxy buds 3pros out of all of them i really loved the plus perfect fit & great sound the original buds pros was the worst now the galaxy 3 pros are absolutely perfect 👌🏾 had to get it for my s24 ultra 😀
I also have that static sound and the ear piece did smell but it went away😅
Galaxy buds +? Dident go over those. I put one through the washer twice and they still kick. 4+ years now
The static noise is incredibly annoying. They also produce that weird electric screeching noise that you'd expect on broken headphones. Plus the anc in a buss/train/car causes an incredibly annoying popping sound. I am returning mine.
I need to upgrade from my buds 2 as they don't hold a change for longer than 2 hours anymore. With current promotions I can snag the buds 2 pro for $55 with trade in or the buds fe for $35 with trade ins. I work in the landscaping industry and am on a zero turn lawn mower 7 months out of the year and then using leaf blowers and snow blower the other few months. Which of the 2 would be best for me with anc? I would prefer wireless charging but If the buds fe are that much better I can look past that. I'm also not interested in the stem design of the buds 3 and 3 pro. Thanks you.
Buds 2 pro should be more durable and last alot longer with your conditions
