The Samsung Galaxy line of wireless earbuds has never exactly blown us away. Even if you’re a dedicated devotee with the latest Samsung phone in your pocket, a Samsung TV in your living room and a spiffy set of Samsung pyjamas to keep you cosy at night, we would usually advise you to steer clear of the South Korean brand’s wireless earbuds and instead snaffle a pair of more competent alternatives from the likes of Bose, Sony or Technics. Sonically, they’ve rarely challenged the best in the business.
Samsung's flagship buds, however, are here to challenge that narrative. Even before you've heard them, it’s clear that the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are different to their predecessors; they look different, they have different features, they probably even smell different to the bean-shaped buds whose place they have confidently taken. If they can also sound different (by which we mean ‘better’) than previous generations, Samsung might have a pair of buds ready to sit at the big boys’ table.
