They grew stems, which the company calls blades, and sport a long, slim, sleek look.
The blades are named appropriately.
They have sharp edges and give the buds a strange triangular look.

Matching the shape of the buds with the socket in the case almost feels like a block puzzle challenge.
I remember appreciating it when I had to navigate the buds via the blades.
Pinching the blade handles playback and swiping up or down along it tweaks the volume.

The blades offered enough surface area for me to interact with them easily.
Swiping up and down for volume control wasnt as smooth as Id liked.
Swiping makes more sense on over-ear headphones with plenty of space.

While swiping down, I always had to ensure I didnt pull the bud out of my ear.
I downsized the default medium ear tips with the small tips in the package.
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Review: Sound
Low-end tends to get overly thick.

The extra $70 you pay isnt just for a pair of blade lights.
The low-end on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro tends to get muddy, even at around 50% volume.

It maintained its crispness and clarity.
As expected, it canceled high-end noise better than low-end ones during the review.
Connectivity was never an issue on these.
Sometimes, Id be in a call and wouldnt want that to be interrupted.
Samsung claims 26 hours on these with ANC on and 30 with ANC off.
I also have a minor gripe with the volume control, but I wouldnt call that a deal breaker.
You will enjoy these if you only care about dramatic bass and nothing else.
I certainly believe the $250 price tag on these makes sense.
Ive gotten a quick hands-on of those, and so far, the answer is yes.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
We still need to see it to believe it.
