Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro?
For Jen, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a more than successful update: sound and call quality are better than on the AirPods Pro 2, plus there are Galaxy AI features. At a €249 RRP, they cost less than the competition.
Pros
- Very good sound with full lows and clear highs
- Extremely good call quality
- Good ANC thanks to the silicone tips
- Controls via the stem always hit the mark
- Galaxy AI with Interpreter and automatic modes
- Wireless charging, IP57 and up to 7.5 hours of battery
Cons
- Interpreter only with a Galaxy smartphone
- No Wearable app for iOS
- Jen does not like 360 Audio

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro?
The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro bring a new design, head gestures for calls and slightly better call quality, while the difference from the Buds 3 Pro in ANC, sound and battery is small. If that doesn't appeal to you, get the cheaper Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
Pros
- New design with a matte brushed-metal stem, no Apple clone look
- Ergonomic case: the buds go in the way you take them out
- Head gestures: a nod accepts calls, a head shake declines them
- Call quality is slightly better for the person you're talking to
- Very good ANC, same wearing comfort as the Buds 3 Pro
Cons
- Control area on the narrow front instead of on the wide stem
- Real-time translator unchanged: needs a smartphone with the Interpreter app, language must be set beforehand
- Barely audible difference in sound compared to the Buds 3 Pro
- Galaxy AI integration is limited to the voice assistant
