Samsung’s AirPods Pro look-alikes have fallen to their best price in months
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro received a decent price drop during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, but if you held off on picking them up, your patience has been rewarded. Right now, the noise-canceling earbuds are available for around $165 ($85 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is the lowest price we’ve seen in months. The discount only applies to the silver color, though, and Amazon shows the deal runs through the end of today, October 30th.
The Buds 3 Pro are one of our favorite pairs of wireless earbuds, especially for Samsung Galaxy owners. They feature an AirPods-style design, complete with an elongated stem that provides a secure, stable in-ear fit. They also offer an IP57 rating and about six hours of battery life with active noise cancellation enabled. They’re comfortable to wear over extended periods of time, too, and in his review, former Verge reviewer Chris Welch noted how his ears never felt fatigued after wearing them all day.
Samsung’s third-gen earbuds improve upon the sound of the prior model, too, which was already great. They deliver full, detailed sound, with an emphasis on bass and treble. If you spend a lot of time chatting with family or in work meetings, call performance is also quite good. However, perhaps the most impressive feature is their voice control performance. You merely need to say “volume up” or “next song” and the earbuds will execute that command through your phone — no wake phrase required.
As much as we like the Buds 3 Pro, they’re not perfect. They lack true multipoint connectivity, though they can auto-switch between Galaxy laptops, tablets, and phones. Meanwhile, the ANC performance falls short of what you get from the AirPods Pro 3 or even the second-gen model. That said, they offer an excellent transparency mode, and you can also take advantage of an adaptive mode that dynamically blends ANC and transparency based on your surroundings.
