During the 4 hours were they in active use or just in standby? Listening to music or using for sporch to text, phone calls, etc. will narurally use more battery than just passively bein on.

I used them for listening to music but in those 4 hours I used them on periods.Like i listen for 20-30 minutes and then put them in the case because i had classes.After when i got to school i listen for 2 hours straight and didnt touched them untill 22:37 and then i saw I was at 57% on the case.

Active use uses more battery power, so, the time you used the buds to listen to music depleted the battery at a higher rate than just being in standby. However, being connected to BT and on in standby also uses up battery. I do not have Galaxy buds, but i do have others plus a BT headphone. I know the specs usually state how many hours are possible, usually broken down as something like up to 5 hours of music/talk time, 15 hours standby, 8 hours combination. Check what the specs are.

So as I rode the play time is 7.0/30 without ANC and with ANC is 6.0/26 (on the Buds 3 pro).So from your help i guess this is normal?

Sounds like reasonsble battery drain. I would be worried if they were in standby only and completely drained after that time. Also, ANC does use battery resources, as what it actually does is generate white noise to cancel out other sounds. You should use ANC when you really need it. I wouldn't use it in standby unless I was just trying to plug my ears to get some peace and quiet.

Ye I get it and I know ANC uses more battery life but i didnt used it at all I guesse i will wait and see if there is another battery problem and I will go to a store to see if there is any I think now they are alright.
