Buds 3 Pro

[GreaterGalaxyUK]

I have had these around a week and used 3 times.

I keep ANC on and the volume below the red warning limit.

Each time, my buds have only lasted me 3 hours and they are down to 17%. I made sure buds and case were fully charged when testing.

I got these free as a result of buying a S24Ultra during Black Friday and hope it's not defective stock they wanted to get rid of.

Is this normal?!

No doesn't sound right (no pun intended) - make sure the software is up to date and possibly try a complete reset.

Other things to consider:

- are the LED lights strips on
- is UHD audio on

Mine last a lot longer than 3hours with ANC on max and UHD audio on (LEDs off)

For clarity, Samsung would never knowingly sell off "defective stock".

Samsung are a premium brand and as such they would never risk their reputation doing so.

Led lights are off
UHD is on
ANC is on to the max
Use my own EQ.
In 3 hours less than 20%

Will try a complete installation again

So I experimented with the volume and that was the 'culprit'. I find when the volume is low, the buds last a long time. Soon as I put the volume to the red warning bit, the battery goes down faster.

Is this normal?!
