The eagle-eyed Samsung fan will notice that the design of the new Galaxy Buds 3 and 3Pro has changed quite significantly. This is because the brains over at Samsung HQ have been doing some additional research into wearability in order to bring their customers the most comfortable offerings possible.

The main difference between the Buds3 and Buds3Pro are how the devices fit into the ear canal. The Buds3 are an open type, meaning that they feature ear cups which allow sound and air to pass through to create a natural and spacious sound.

Buds3 Pro, on the other hand, are a canal type, offer a direct fit into the ear canal providing sound isolation and minimal leakage. Each fit type comes with its own advantages and disadvantages, which may factor into your purchasing decisions.

And it’s not just performance-enhancing design features that are on offer here. The devices feature blade lights to create a striking visual effect, as well as allowing you to control the buds by dragging the blade lights up or down.

The buds are also certified IP57 dust and water resistant which, for those who don’t know, are ratings used to define the level of an enclosure’s protection against the intrusion of solids and liquids. This is a significant improvement on the previous model, which was certified IP52.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and 3 Pro features

The Samsung team have been working hard to bring customers their best quality ear buds ever which provide a studio quality listening experience with no distortion.

The device’s built-in microphones work to minimise sound leakage, allowing for super-clear calls and a seamless music listening experience.

Samsung’s latest audio offerings come equipped with a number of impressive features designed to make your day-to-day life a lot more convenient.

And when it’s time for a getaway, you can make use of the AI translation to help you communicate with the locals. This technology will detect the language of your choosing and deliver a translation in your native language directly into your ear.

There are also a number of features to help you carry on your conversations on the phone without being interrupted by real life, as well as carry on your real life conversations without having to remove your headphones.

We’re talking about siren detect, a feature which uses the microphone to detect, surprise surprise, the sound of sirens in the background of your phone call and temporarily mute or lower your volume in order to save the ear drums of the person on the other line.

And on the other side of things, the voice detect for conversation feature will allow to engage in real life conversation without removing your earbuds, the perfect feature for when you’ve got your hands full.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 and 3 Pro noise cancelling capability

Both models of the new Samsung Galaxy buds analyse both internal and external noise to maximise the device’s ANC (Active Noise Cancellation).

Adaptive Noise Control, Siren Detect and Voice Detect all work together to automatically adjust the optimal level of noise, without the need for manual involvement.
