Samsung Galaxy Buds

Quick take

For commuters, Samsung Galaxy Buds makes the strongest case on Reddit. Buyers keep coming back to noise cancelling and convenience, especially for commuting and everyday listening. The main drawback is comfort and fit, so it makes less sense for listeners with fit-sensitive ears. That leaves it looking like a caution pick.

Verdict

Caution pick

Overall: For commuters, it can still make sense, but the tradeoffs are harder to ignore. Most of the upside comes from noise cancelling and convenience. The main hesitation is comfort and fit.

Complaint Good fit, but missing plug options 2026-01-20

Hi all! I recently lost my Samsung buds 3 pro. While It is a shame I lost them, I dont think they were the best pair of earbuds around. The ANC didn't feel good and I had a lot of background noise seep in. Calls with them were unsatisfactory and often times I found myself turning them off and speaking without them, even though I have an S25. They were a good fit for me with the smallest plugs, but if there was an option to have a plug between the smallest one and the middle one I probbably would've went with that.
