The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro follow a true wireless in-ear design, meaning there are no cables or neckbands involved. Each earbud weighs 10.8 grams and does not include wingtips. They carry an IP57 rating, making them waterproof to a depth of 1 meter. The earbuds feature stereo speakers and include RGB lighting, though they have no display or UV light.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro offer both active noise cancellation and passive noise reduction, working together to limit unwanted ambient sound. Audio is handled by a 10.5 mm driver unit with a frequency range spanning 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, an impedance of 32 Ohms, and a sound pressure level of 92 dB/mW. The earbuds support spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, though they do not include Dirac Virtuo or a neodymium magnet.
Each earbud carries a 53 mAh rechargeable battery that delivers up to 7 hours of playback, or 6 hours when active noise cancellation is enabled, and the 515 mAh charging case extends total listening time to 23 hours. A full charge takes approximately 1.18 hours, and the case supports wireless charging, though there is no solar power option. A battery level indicator is also included so users can monitor remaining charge at a glance.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro connect wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.4, supporting LE Audio, Auracast, AAC codec, and fast pairing, with a maximum range of 10 meters and an audio latency of 60 ms. They can also be charged and connected through USB Type-C. The earbuds do not support NFC pairing, LDAC, LDHC, or any variant of the aptX codec family, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Low Latency, aptX Lossless, or aptX Voice.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro include a broad set of practical features, among them ambient sound mode, in-ear detection for automatic playback pausing, a find device function, and multipoint connectivity for up to two devices simultaneously. They support fast charging, can be used as a headset, and offer voice prompts, a mute function, notification reading, and a built-in translator. A device-based control panel is present, while an in-line control panel is not included, and there is no body temperature sensor. Additional conveniences include a built-in camera remote shutter, a travel bag in the box, and a 2-year warranty.
The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are equipped with six microphones in total, and the microphone system includes active noise cancellation to help reduce background noise during calls and voice input.
