So I received my Galaxy buds3 along with my S25 Ultra on the 1 February. My initial thoughts were, the fit was terrible, always fall out, sound quality was decent but not the best Galaxy buds I've had. But one issue was (yes I know you shouldn't do this) at maximum volume, they distorted terribly, none of my older buds ever sound this bad, furthermore, bass was extremely weak in comparison to my older buds too.
So about 3 weeks in, the volume in the left bud suddenly started dropping to the point where even at maximum volume, it was barely audible. So great I figured, icing on top. I immediately requested a repair that same day and the buds were returned back to me within a week (not too bad turnaround). After checking the serial numbers, I know both the buds were replaced (my case is the same).
So back to testing them, I wasn't really expecting too much promise. How wrong I was, they were immensely better, crisp even at maximum volume, no distortion (or very little) and actual bass!
If you've read this long, I congratulate and appreciate your patience 😊. Long story short, if you are noticing inferior quality with your buds3 compared to prior Galaxy buds, I would suggest having them checked or replaced. The quality is a lot better with my replacements and if you hadn't any experience with another pair before, you probably would never know. I'm actually grateful now mine were defective, or I never would've known they were much better than my initial thoughts (fit still terrible 😔). Thanks for reading.
