Just had a conversation with repair centre over my buds 3 pro. They confirmed multiple faults, case not charging right bug. Right bug weak Bluetooth connection issues. Only 6 months old but samsung invalidated warranty repair due to a tiny scratch on case. It seems they don't repair buds or cases, they replace them when they fail. I have to pay £169 to replace parts instead.

That's the price I paid for them after trading an set in. I'm going to call the warranty team on Monday to confirm this and then probably just forgot about the buds. I'm not buying any wearables off samsung in future as they consider them perishable goods. Was thinking about the ring and watch ultra but now I'm going to have to buy news buds (definitely not samsung).

I will not be recommending samsung any more.

Got fixed buds back and cannot just them 😩

They replaced the right bug with the medium size ear tip. It had the large tip needed to fit my ears so now the bud will not sit in my ear. Anyone know where I can buy a replacement set of Samsung tips ?

So the new bud they replaced was missing the ear tip. Samsung online don't sell them. Samsung customer care said i can buy them in samsung retail store. Retail store said that don't sell them you need to book a repair! So the buds3 pro are useless after being fixed. I'm done with samsung for wearables, no more buds from them. I was looking at the ring but this whole repair process had put me off owning anymore samsung devices that are not actually repairable. Huge electronics waste and still not usable.
