My 3 Favorite Features of Galaxy Buds3

1. Immersive Hi-Fi Sound

The Hi-Fi sound quality on the Galaxy Buds3 is truly game-changing. Its 1-way speaker and support for Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC-UHQ) ensure deep bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs.

In real life, this means your favorite Spotify playlist sounds like it’s being played live at a concert. Watching movies? The 360 Audio feature makes every action sequence feel like it’s happening right around you. Even during casual gaming, the sound cues become so vivid that you can almost feel every move and shot.

2. Adaptive ANC and Smart Features

The Adaptive ANC powered by Galaxy AI is your ultimate audio companion, blocking out distractions and adjusting in real time to your surroundings. Whether you’re in a noisy coffee shop, on a crowded commute, or just relaxing at home, the Buds3 ensures you hear only what you want to.

I am often asked if Samsung Galaxy Buds3 has Active Noise Cancellation and the quick answer to that is YES! It instantly turns on as soon as you put them on your ears.

When taking work calls outdoors, the 6-microphone system and Voice Pickup Unit (VPU) cut through wind noise for clearer conversations. For multitaskers, the gesture controls make skipping tracks, adjusting volume, or answering calls as easy as a quick tap, perfect for when you’re mid-workout or cooking.

3. Ergonomic and Durable Design

The Galaxy Buds3 isn’t just about looks; It’s designed for comfort and durability. At only 4.7g per earbud, the angled fit ensures all-day comfort without ear strain. Whether you’re running errands, on a long Zoom call, or sweating it out at the gym, these earbuds stay snugly in place.

Its IP57 rating means you don’t have to think twice about light rain, sweaty workouts, or dusty environments. Heading to an outdoor hike or beach trip? The Buds3 is durable enough to handle it all while still looking stylish in its sleek Silver or minimalist White finish.

Seamless Galaxy Ecosystem Integration

Already a Galaxy fan? The Buds3 takes your ecosystem experience up a notch. The Auto Switch feature seamlessly transitions between your Galaxy phone, tablet, and smartwatch, so you can answer calls on your phone and then instantly switch back to your tablet for Netflix.

If you already own several Galaxy devices, it makes sense to also get the Galaxy Buds3, which perfectly goes with and complements your other gadgets to form an ecosystem.

Features like Samsung Find help locate misplaced earbuds, while Bixby Voice Wake-Up makes hands-free commands super easy. For fitness enthusiasts, the Neck Stretch Reminder adds a health-focused touch, encouraging better posture during long work sessions.

Battery Life That Keeps You Moving

Battery life is another win for the Galaxy Buds3. With ANC on, you can enjoy:

• 3.5 hours of talk time or 5 hours of music playback per charge.
• 18 hours of total talk time or 24 hours of total playback with the charging case.

If you turn ANC off, you get even more:

• 4 hours of talk time or 6 hours of music playback per charge.
• 20 hours of total talk time or 30 hours of total playback with the charging case.

The 515mAh case ensures you’re powered up for the long haul, and the USB Type-C fast charging minimizes downtime.

Recommendation

At PHP 8,990, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 offers good sound quality, top-tier features, and a stylish, durable design that fits your active lifestyle. Whether you’re a busy professional, a fitness enthusiast, or just someone who loves immersive audio, these earbuds deliver on every promise.
