Which Galaxy Buds should I get

[itsnathan]

I am close to getting my Samsung Galaxy Buds but I can't decide which one to get. Maybe you can help. Pick one. (Optional) Add the reason why you think I should get the model you recommend me. I'd love to hear from you guys. Also make sure to spread the word cause I need like at least 50 recommendations. Thanks. 😊 

• Samsung Galaxy Buds FE
• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3
• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE
• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

The buds 3 pro will be the best ones better noise cancelation and everything else. But if you can wait its rumored that the Buds 4's will be coming out in February.

I got the Galaxy buds 3, loved it but has less features imo. Use it either way mainly for noise cancelling. However my ear canals sweat/oil over long periods of time and they get loose

My experience is that audio quality is better on my Buds3 Pro but it is very good anyway on my Buds2 Pro. In most cases the Buds3 Pro noise cancellation is better than the Buds2 Pro. But, in outdoor conditions with gusty incident wind on either side the Buds3 Pro noise cancellation easily becomes noise generation. I prefer the in-ear fit of the Buds2 Pro. I don't like the default EQ on either model, both are bass enhanced, though not heavily so. Only the Buds3 Pro has adjustable EQ (in the device app) but it's not good enough to flatten the EQ so I ended up buying a pair of over-ear, closed back headphones from a popular audiophile brand that has flat response from 5Hz to 22kHz and they sound better to me than my Buds2 Pro and my Buds3 Pro. If I didn't have the headphones and was choosing a pair to listen to I'd usually choose my Buds3 Pro and only sometimes chooose the Buds2 Pro when going outside and it's windy. I agree with the suggestion to consider waiting for Buds4. I suspect the amount of angry comments I saw posted at Samsung about wind noise the week Buds3 were released (when I got mine) and that fact that Samsung made no responses or acknowledgements that I saw on the topic means there was a bit of shame internally and the Buds4 will have features intended to improve noise cancelling in gusty, incident wind with whatever other upgrades are included. I might consider upgrading my Buds2 Pro if they do, but they'd have to let me have a true flat EQ to avoid being secondary to my over-ear headphones for music listening.

Buds 3 pro is the best of the best, has ear tip, no wing tip
Buds 3 is basically cheaper version of 3 pro, worse sound than 3 pro, no ear tip, no wing tip
Buds FE is the cheapest here, the worst sound of all 3 but it's an ok sound for the price, has ear tip, has wing tip, no wireless charging but ok for the price

buds 3 FE? in awkward position, this one doesn't have wireless charging but more expensive than Buds FE, the only good this 3 FE over 3 is 3 FE has ear tip and cheaper than 3

I love the Pro Buds 2. I won't upgrade to the 3 because it doesn't fully fit in my ear. I do NOT like the little stick leg protruding out of the bottom. My Pro 2s have excellent sound, functionality and is hidden in my ear. I use one bud in and change to 2 for music experience. I control phone calls and texts with one in and can multi-task all day and still have a conversation and text. I love them!

None. No matter which pair of Samsung buds I have purchased they never last for more than a year their batteries in these earbuds are similar to the batteries in their Galaxy Rings which are known to go in about a year or less.

With every pair of Samsung earbuds I have owned when you get 2 years in you're lucky if you can listen to an hour's worth of songs before you have to recharge the batteries again.

There are many other earbud choices out there that are much better priced at the same or even less that you can go with that would be a better option considering the fact that Samsung seems to be phasing out their reverse wireless charging so really without that not having Samsung buds doesn't really make a difference because you'll still have to wind up plugging them in even some of the newer Renditions of Samsung's earbuds no longer have that form of charging and many other buds out there do have wireless charging.

As much as a Samsung user as I am with almost everything in my home I cannot under any reason recommend a pair of Samsung earbuds I'm sorry there is only one time where I would recommend them and that's if you're hard of hearing and want to use them for like the hearing aid features that they have but other than that I don't recommend them

For other options send me a message as I've tested many headphones in my time and I can give you all kinds of better options
