Bought the Buds 2 Pro intentionally just to not have that stem design the new gen has.
It's good, but the price pisses me off as the only thing differentiating it from the Pro is the lights, audio drivers and some features, which aren't a concern for me. Personally, I see the Pro as a better deal, finding it right now around 100 euros on second-hand market.
Mediocre sound quality, any tws.. even bunch of gimmick features can't replace wired headphones.. they are good for exercise but if you prefer sound quality skip tws.. I've try bunch of tws and all of these are not even close to wired. Maybe someday they are achieved sq of wired, but until that's happened I'll stick with with superior wired headphones.

They don'... moreNot really.
The OnePlus Buds Pro 3 and Nothing Ear sound more balanced and they have both. Galaxy Buds 3 Pro seems to be a bit too punchy as far as I've seen
I've just been on Samsung Website GSM arena.. And it seems unfortunately. The new Buds3 FE do NOT have 24bit audio 😔 Very disappointed.
the only reason id get a pair of buds 3 pro over these is wireless charging and blade lights
Wildcats, 18 Aug 2025It makes more sense But the funny too is bud 3 pro is around $150 so what's the useBigger battery?
Shame they are so different from the previous version. But then people on this site hate it when companies don't completely redesign everything every five minutes so.....🤷♂️
Anonymous, 18 Aug 2025Hate the stem design. PassPersonal preference thing - I bought a Buds3 Pro to replace my Buds2 Pro - thought I would hate it as well, but turns out, I actually love it now - the volume adjustment feels extremely natural AND as an added bonus - unlike the capacitive buttons on the Buds2 Pro - these don't get triggered by random things like clothes touching them for half a second.
Anonymous, 18 Aug 2025Hate the stem design. PassEven though I don't hate stem design bought buds 2 pro instead. Very elegant look and feel. Installed a spigen case as it will scratch like crazy.
Hate the stem design. Pass
Good thing they changed the design. Used the design of their pro model, with the rubber eartip, that's good. Though that in the case of being the FE model, they wouldn't change the design as much

They don't support fast pair as that fringe feature constantly cuts into the limited bandwidth on Bluetooth. You get lossless 24-bit audio with Samsung. You don't get that with any other Bluetooth headphones in the world.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be perfect either. You can get a OnePlus Buds Pro 3 or Nothing Ear
