Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro (SM-R630NZAA)

Design, I always start with it because let's face it - we choose with our eyes first, then by features. In my opinion, they look original, which is really cool given the modern choice of hundreds and hundreds of identical headphones.

The stem shape is triangular, at first I thought it might be uncomfortable, but once I learned to use gestures (touch + click), I understood the purpose of this shape and how convenient it is. Literally within the first few hours, I could switch tracks (though it also has voice control), accept calls, and change the volume just with gestures.

There's a cool lighting feature with several modes: blinking, constant on, and off. It might look awesome at night on the street (if you live in a calm area) and if you like crossing the street with music - drivers will notice you.

But these are headphones, so let's talk about sound: it's rich. Across the range of frequencies, I didn't find any gaps, the bass is deep and resonant, and the highs are very detailed thanks to the auxiliary driver (rock instrumental fans will appreciate, assuming listening in FLAC format directly from the phone). The mids aren't muddled, the overall sound is vivid, and I have nothing to complain about - the sound is good.

There are AI features with translation, assistant - I'm not using them, as I don't need them yet.

There's spatial audio - it works nicely and can be enjoyable, but it's more for occasional fun.

Battery life matches the manufacturer's claims - it's good. Wireless charging works even through a thick case from China.

There's quick connection, a window like in Apple.

I'd note the stunning

- Sound. Despite the fact that the declared low-frequency range is better with OnePlus headphones, the Samsung ones have a more impressive bass. The bass is juicier, more complete, if you will. Bands like Prodigy sound richer. Metal and similar genres have a more balanced sound;
- Microphone. Much, much better than OnePlus. In challenging conditions by a noisy highway, in windy weather, etc., it handles phone conversations without issues or straining your vocal cords and nerves;
- Connection to the phone. Connection to newer Samsung phones is almost instantaneous in 100% of cases;
- Ear fit. Compared to OnePlus, it's better. Overall, for small ears, the fit is fantastic. They fit easily and correctly in the ear even when you're quickly putting the earphone in with the opposite hand while on the move;
- Moisture resistance and waterproofing are top-notch. In the rain or gym when sweating heavily, the sensor responds adequately, and moisture doesn't affect the sound.

The sound is amazing. They fit very securely in my ears. The volume, low frequencies, noise cancellation - it's just out of this world. It brings any track to life, even one that I might not have liked before. Of course, the full functionality of the headphones is revealed only with a Samsung smartphone, but even in the basic version, out of the box, they sound fantastic. Noise cancellation - I turned the heater in the car to maximum - and you can't hear it at all in the headphones. So street noise and such will definitely be blocked out. A wide selection of equalizers, surround sound, integration with the Samsung camera - spatial sound of the environment when recording video. The emotions are superb.
