Buds 3 arrived today and thoughts so far after 5 days usage.

[TheDenny]

Positives:

1. Comfortable fit 

2. Good quality sound

3. Bargain price I paid after discounts (£50 ish)

4. Connect very fast to S24ULTRA 

5. Case holds battery well (not charged since first used)

Negative 

1. Plug charging takes more time I thought (over 1 hour)

2. Once case charged, ear buds only 93% charged 

3. Getting head ache when wearing buds

4. Loose bud in one ear 

5. Picks up other unknown frequency noises (bit like distant music played from a car, people talking from far away, at one point I thought I could hear other phone calls happening nearby)

6. Causes some irritation to skin

7. Poor phone call quality with minor wind conditions. 

8. Case has no branding and feels cheap and inferior buds that can be bought for £1 0 on Amazon.

9. Pain around ear area when wearing buds.

I would welcome any thoughts and experiences from anyone that has also bought it.

Thank you for your support

Glad you got them finally, but I have never heard of any earbuds causing headaches from only 4 minutes of usage. You mentioned that they are harmful? Can you elaborate on this comment?

[TheDenny]

Harmful in the way, that I feel a sharpness on the sides of my head like intensity pressure.

But when I took Buds out, the pressure was released.

Maybe it's the heat 🥵 today in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 adding to the tension and stress.

Will test it tomorrow during a walk as want to inspect the clarity of phone calls

It could be pressure build up, some people suffer from this especially when using ANC, of course this varies from person to person and bud to bud. When I used Sonys' newest earbuds the eartips are extremely painful in my ear canals and unusable for more than 2 minutes. My nephew can use Airpods Max over ear headphones because of the pressure build up from the ANC. I hope this helps 🙏

Thank you for your reply. I never used ANC.

Hope it works itself out

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your new Samsung Buds³ @TheDenny  👍 

How is ANC on these with being more of an open type of bud 🤔 

Personally I'm interested in the Samsung Buds³ Pro 👍 

And do please let us know how you get on with the headaches your experiencing. 

Take care 🙂 

[TheDenny]

Thank you for your reply.

I haven't tried ANC yet, but I will report my experience later when I use it. I rarely use ANC in my previous headphones as I like to be alert in my environment and therefore don't need this function. But will give it a go when on a walk in a busy and loud environment and on a plane.

I prefer these Buds for this reason as it does not fully block the ear canal like the Pro.

Have a great day and hope you get to maximise the sun 🌞 today.

Hi

I had time to test out the ANC.

It isn't the best and blocks noise in my opinion by 10%

Still a light weighted buds ✨️

Decided to return the Buds 3 as the negatives unfortunately outweigh the positives.
