While Samsung introduced the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and gave it the biggest upgrades seen in years, they cost more than their predecessors. However, the premium noise-canceling wireless earbuds are currently down to $219 from $249, putting them at a new record-low price.
The $30 reduction is available on both white and graphite colorways of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and comes with the US warranty, so you get added protection.
Why the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are now worth buying
Samsung released the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro (review) earbuds in July, bringing a completely new design and form from the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. The water-resistant earbuds have a stem design with an angular outline while the upper buds get a round shape with the overall build made from aluminum chassis. The stem also integrates accurate and easy-to-use haptic touch controls.
In addition, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also offer much improved adaptive ANC capabilities, with a promise of more than twice the noise-blocking solution from the predecessors. These new mics result in clearer voice calls as well. Galaxy AI is also powering some call features like transcribing and translation.
New with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is a custom HQ Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC), which you can take advantage of pairing with a Galaxy smartphone. This is equivalent to a high-res audio quality, although you can also use the basic codecs like AAC and SBC.
Furthermore, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have a more balanced audio profile and more precise sound quality than the second generation. The output is generalized to have a prominent bass and treble with flat mids, though you can adjust this through the equalizer in the intuitive app.
Another great reason to upgrade to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is a more robust battery life that matches the high-end alternative in its class. They last 6 hours with ANC enabled and slightly more with the feature turned on.
