Samsung unveiled two new wireless earphone models during its Unpacked press event last week: Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. The Korean giant also announced the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, its new flagship foldable phones that were the stars of the show in Paris, France.
From the moment they were unveiled, the new Galaxy Buds 3 models were immediately compared to Apple's AirPods. That is, it was obvious that Samsung chose to depart from the stem-less Buds design it used for several years and adopt a form factor similar to AirPods and AirPods Pro.
Beyond that, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offers several features that were clearly inspired by AirPods Pro 2, to put it diplomatically. After having used the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro for two weeks, I'm even more convinced that Samsung did the right thing by copying the AirPods with its Galaxy Buds designs and features.
Although the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro gets everything right in terms of sound, the actual design leaves something to be desired. Before this review came out, Samsung had to postpone the release of its Galaxy Buds 3 Pro because the wireless earphones suffer from various quality issues. Even if that hadn't happened, though, I noticed a few concerning problems with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro review unit that Samsung provided.
