I love the old and unique design of galaxy buds .

[nmeister]

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 🤞

[krisqz]

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.

[angelite]

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 got the galaxy buds 3 for free with my galaxy watch 7 and i have zero complaints.

[anthonyschutz]

Still rocking my buds+. Been using them for over 3 years and will not be letting go

[anothrluis]

I have the Buds FE and after watching this video I will not be changing them, seems like I made the right choice.

[michaelthompson]

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

[shawnhancock]

Got my current buds 2 pro on sale at amazon for 100 and was definitely worth it

[maddada]

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 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

[althyk]

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.

[volcolby]

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.

[guybrushtwood]

For anyone in Australia, the Galaxy Buds 2 pro are currently available for $159 Aussie dollars ($106usd)

[Blckztr]

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

[seegarsmkr]

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.

[xoxoChii]

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!

[ltdricks]

Owner of buds FE. Best fit and similar to buds plus
