Galaxy Buds 3 Pro White (SM-R630NZWAMEA) Review
Introduction
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro White, boasting the model numbers SM-R630NZWAMEA, SM-R630, and SM-R630NZWALTA, arrived on my desk promising crystal-clear audio and advanced noise cancellation. After weeks of rigorous testing, involving everything from intense workouts to quiet commutes, I’m ready to share my honest assessment of this latest offering from Samsung.
Features
The Buds 3 Pro are packed with features, promising a premium listening experience. The advertised “Crystal Sound” is backed by a dual AMP, and features like 360 Audio Recording, pinch control, and swipe controls add a layer of convenience. The inclusion of a 3-Mic VPU for clear calls and dynamic noise adjustment hints at a sophisticated approach to audio enhancement. The sleek white finish is undeniably stylish.

Performance
The sound quality is generally impressive. The highs are crisp, and the bass offers a satisfying punch, though it can occasionally feel a little overwhelming at higher volumes. The advertised noise cancellation works effectively in moderate environments, but struggles with louder, more consistent noises like construction or airplane engines. The battery life, however, falls short of expectations; I consistently achieved less than the advertised 8 hours, even with moderate usage. The touch controls are responsive and intuitive, making adjustments on the fly easy.
During my fitness testing, the earbuds stayed securely in place, even during intense workouts. The call quality is excellent, a significant plus for frequent callers. The ambient sound feature provides a useful awareness of your surroundings without sacrificing too much audio quality.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent sound quality (with caveats), comfortable fit, responsive touch controls, good call quality, effective noise cancellation (in moderate environments).
- Cons: Below average battery life, noise cancellation struggles in loud environments, bass can be overpowering at times.
Final Verdict
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro White offer a compelling audio experience, but fall short in some key areas. The sound quality is a significant strength, but the subpar battery life and inconsistent noise cancellation are noticeable drawbacks. Overall, they are a decent set of earbuds, particularly for those prioritizing sound quality and call clarity. However, users seeking all-day battery life and robust noise cancellation might consider other options. I would recommend them with a slight reservation, acknowledging their compromises.
