Each part is measured the same way for every model (from specs and lab test measurements where they exist) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • ANC is strong for this money
  • Clear, vocal-friendly balanced sound
  • Voice came through well near traffic
  • Stayed in during jogs and light rain
  • Balanced sound with a bit of extra bass and clear vocals
  • Wing tips make them comfortable for long wear and workouts
  • ANC handles fans, traffic and office chatter

Cons

  • About 5 h with ANC on in their use
  • Fewer app features on non-Samsung phones
  • No wireless charging
  • Case scratches easily
  • ANC clearly behind Samsung's Pro models
  • Full features need a Galaxy phone
  • Only two colours
  • EarbudsArenaOct 2025

    After a few weeks of use, a surprisingly capable cheap pair, though some smarts are Samsung-only.

  • AudioPickOct 2025

    Good everyday buds for students, office-goers and Samsung users who want comfort and decent ANC on a budget.

  • WalasTechAug 2025

    First impressions are good for casual listening and calls; not a Buds 3 Pro replacement (Philippines unit, same model).
