Editor’s review
- Open-type fit: comfort vs noise isolation trade-off: The Galaxy Buds3 uses an open-type design — no silicone tips going into the ear canal. This means all-day comfort with no "blocked" feeling, ideal for long desk work in Kathmandu offices. However, it also means less passive noise isolation. In noisy micro-buses or busy Thamel streets, ambient sound will bleed through even with ANC active.
- Try before you buy in Nepal: Open-type earbuds don't fit every ear shape securely. If the fit is wrong, they will fall out during commutes on bumpy Ring Road or while walking crowded markets. If you can visit a Samsung dealer in Kathmandu and try them on, do so before commauthorised retailerng.
- SSC HiFi on Galaxy phones only: Like the Buds3 Pro, the SSC HiFi near-lossless codec works exclusively with Samsung Galaxy devices. On any other phone, you get SBC or AAC. Galaxy phone owners get genuine hi-res wireless audio; everyone else gets standard quality that doesn't justify the its price–28,000 price.
- IP57 is the standout for Nepal's climate: Both buds and case are IP57-rated, meaning they can handle monsoon rain and even brief submersion. For a mid-range open-type earbud in this price category, IP57 is excellent — protection you will appreciate during Nepal's June–September rainy season.

Frequently asked questions
The main differences: Buds3 uses an open-type design with a single 11mm driver; Buds3 Pro is in-ear with a 2-way driver (tweeter + woofer) and dual amp for higher audio fidelity. Buds3 Pro also has IP57 on a more secure in-ear fit with stronger ANC due to the physical seal. In Nepal, the Buds3 Pro costs approximately its priceu20138,000 more. For audio quality and ANC effectiveness, the Buds3 Pro is worth the premium if budget allows.
The multi-mic array with Voice Detect works reasonably well in moderate noise. In very loud environments like crowded Ason market or near major road intersections, call quality can suffer u2014 as with all open-type earbuds, ambient noise can reach the mics more easily than with sealed in-ear designs. For frequent callers in noisy outdoor settings, the in-ear Galaxy Buds3 Pro provides better call quality.
