Galaxy Buds3 Pro reviewed
The earbuds are easy to use, and stay in your ear fairly well, which is of course always an important criteria for these products. You have the option to control the various options by either touches and swipes, or by speaking your voice commands. This could be problematic if your kids realise this, or if you are on public transport or other common areas. For these reasons we expect you will probably use the physical controls to make adjustments.
To get the most out of the earbuds you will need to use the relevant app, as this helps offer a lot functionality. We're not sure if these earbuds are primarily aimed at Samsung phone users, although we would imagine it is a better user experience for those who do have one. Our testers have not got their hands on any Samsung phones for several years now, so they were not able to offer more insights in that regard.
The battery life seems to be less than five hours, which doesn't seem great, especially as it will then need to be recharged more often, which will impact potentially on it's overall longevity. As always with these reviews this is one area where it is hard to speak authoritatively because you don't know how the device will be performing after six months to a years active usage.
For now though our testers liked the look and feel, and the sound quality of them too. They were easy to use, and are still being used by one of the team, which is always a good sign. There is also a trade in option, which could help in terms of bringing down the price too.
