"the stems make them stay in place a lot better than the 2pro. ... I have not encountered any problems so far when working out, while my 2pro would regularly shift out of place a bit or even slide out sometimes."
"never had comfort issues. ... Used to wear them for 8 hours straight and never had issues."
"I use headphones/earbuds 8+hours a day on average. So sound, comfort, and compatibility are top things from me. Samsung has it all."

"acceptable sound quality/sound stage"
"Galaxy buds sound is decent at best out of the box. But after some tuning, I got tjem pretty close to my Sonys."
"you can turn the active listening off. This makes them become normal ear buds with excellent sound quality."

"They block noise really well for me especially if I pop on some quiet white/brown noise."
"ANC is really good at cancelling consistent noise ... the galaxy buds with adaptive ANC are way better than these at that"
"and better ANC when it comes to blocking out high frequencies."

"the new buds DO NOT fit my ears at all."
"falling off just when I rotate my head ... usable only for listening while sitting"
"Both the FE and the pro have bigger 'buds' than their original ears and are too big for mine unfortunately. ... I just want a very tiny bud with rounded/bullet tips instead of the oval tips they use today."

Aggressive_Rope3493 1.0If buget ian't an issue go for Buds3 Pro ✨️ Here are your options for a Galaxy Buds Buds Core < Buds FE < Buds3 FE < Buds3 < Buds3 Pro
Alex_MTBRIDED 1.0Guys i have one problem with right bud. Buds 3 😂. I can barely hear it.
AlexOwen675 1.0I got a pair in the black Friday sale and they arrived today, first impressions are good, but nothing blows you away. They're just good for bog standard everyday wireless earbuds and I'd say probably worth it for the price I got them for, 150 reduced from £219. Bearing in mind the buds4 will probably be at least 250
alexrider803 1.0So in the Bluetooth settings now you don't even need the gear app if you updated to the latest drivers for the Galaxy buds 3 there is a setting to change them to low latency gaming mode EDIT: I do not know if this is available with non Samsung devices l sorry.
AwehAweh69 1.0Samsung Galaxy buds 3 or 2. You can easily find them in many online stores for well below 2k
bbg1995 1.0I just got the S25 ultra, had the S20fe before but I upgraded earbuds from the galaxy buds fe to the galaxy buds 3. At first I loved the GB3 other than fitment but, with that being said I've had them for a week today and I'm already getting muffled sound in both earbuds. Really considering just going back to the GB fe
BigNigori 1.0I'd stretch for the Galaxy Buds 3 Pros, but if they really are too much, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pros are great as well. The B3Ps have voice commands, which are a killer feature that no other buds have from any company. The B2Ps are a different form factor, but still sound almost as good as the B3Ps. I would avoid the Galaxy Buds 3 (not pro) if I were you, since you like EDM and they severely lack on bass compared to the sealed option.
bure11 1.0I personally like the Galaxy Buds best here with Nothing a close second. I haven't actually tried the freebuds 4 enough to comment however
For me, wingtips or hooks are pretty essential in the gym for the best fit otherwise they'll just fall out. Foam tips can also really make a difference but they'll quickly ruin in the gym The Soundcore X20 work really well as do any of the Bose buds with wings. I also have had good experiences using the OnePlus 4 with Foam tips or the Galaxy Buds 3 with azla crystal tips. The majority of other buds just fall out or need readjusting often.
culpshillstan 1.0I had the OG Bose QCs. The ANC is straight up alien technology. It was incredible. That being said, I'll give up a little to get full control of my phone and watch. The sound quality with the buds 3 is VERY good and the ANC is just fine.
Desperate_Teacher186 1.0The case is ok, just get used to it, its just a matter of habit. I had all airpods models and buds pro2 and buds 3 (sometimes I like to go out or make zoom calls without rubber in ears)) I will put buds pro 2 on the first place in usability but they say buds pro 3 have better sound. buds 3 don't position well in ears, I like airpods nonPro more. The last place go to Airpods pro which I gave to one younger relative and he was happy.
