Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Balanced tuning close to their target
  • ANC removed a large share of outside noise in their test; wind handled well
  • Sealed tips sit far more securely than the Buds3
  • Clear sound with good vocals and treble, balanced instruments
  • ANC good on low rumble with adjustable level
  • Light and comfortable for hours, in-app fit test
  • Accurate pinch and swipe controls

Cons

  • Under 4.5 h with ANC in their run-down
  • No real multipoint, no wireless charging
  • Mics falter in strong wind
  • No app on iPhone
  • Default bass a little shy; Bass Boost overdoes it
  • Voices still leak through ANC
  • About 6 h with ANC, on the low side
  • SoundGuysSep 2025

    Balanced sound and strong measured ANC for the money, held back by short battery and Galaxy-only extras. Tested US version.

  • TechRadar (NL)Nov 2025

    Brings the best bits of pricier Galaxy Buds down in price; ANC and sound impress, battery and lack of multipoint disappoint. Tested European version; score is its audio sub-score.

  • GizmodoSep 2025

    A good buy if sound matters most; noise cancelling and extras are only middling. Tested US version.

  • ScarbirSep 2025

    Sound earns its keep, but weak measured ANC, iffy calls and fiddly controls stop it being a good daily pair.
