Hello, I am Yehwa
Today, I will introduce
Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
which had a lot of people looking forward to it, but also a lot of issues as well
I showed you a little bit
on Samsung Creator Day last time
I bought it right away
But the QC issue happened after
and the sale was temporarily suspended
Did I get a good one?
Design, sound quality, wearability, and newly added AI functions
I will introduce in detail what I felt while using it for a month
Please stay with us until the end of today's video
There are two colors, silver and white
The factory price is KRW 310,900
It's a pro model
but Buds has a bit of a cost-effective image
So I felt awkward about the price of KRW 310,000
But compared to AirPods Pro, this is KRW 40,000 cheaper
If you look at it, I think Apple is really good at doing business
I bought the white color
I was a little worried because the defect rate of white model was high
but fortunately, I got a good one
This isn't even Tesla...
Telling you the different specifications compared to the previous model
Waterproofing has been upgraded from IPX7, which is water resistance in daily life
to IP57 that can be used even if they sink into water
But you still can't swim with it
Does anyone have earphones for swimming?
I want to dance while swimming
The battery is 6 hours based on when the noise cancellation function is on
You can use it for 26 hours with a charged case
It didn't feel like the battery actually increased
Since there's a setting for the amplifier or sound quality
I think it was a little difficult to increase the battery life
Let's take a look at the design
My first impression of "Cradle(Case)" is
It looks like the apple design that we know
The difference is that the lid is transparent
I was worried
because the expected image said it was cheap plastic
Personally, I like Buds' cradle better than AirPods'
It's transparent, so if it gets scratches, it's easy to notice them
I didn't wear a case
but I didn't get any big scratches
I bought AirPods Pro and didn't use them for a long time
but I was upset because I saw a lot of scratches
If you look inside the cradle, you can see a blue line on the left
and an orange line on the right
Doesn't it look like a water tap in a bathtub?
Hot or cold? That kinda vibe?
But guys
There's a reason for this
In audiology, when distinguishing left and right
They use colors along with symbols for accuracy
Blue means left, red means right
This is used on hearing test headphone cables
audiogram charts
and hearing aids
Maybe they're trying to look professional
but honestly
consumers don't care about this stuff
Some say Blue's L for Left
and Red's R for Right
but "Orange" has an R too, so...
Makes sense, I guess
The earbuds have color bands on the bottom
Unlike AirPods Pro, you don't just take them off and put them in
You have to rotate them 180 degrees
The triangular stem looks nice design wise
but it's a pain to put it in and out of the case
You get used to it though
and eventually find the sweet spot
With AirPods, I'd sometimes put them in without looking
and put each of them in the wrong places
But since this one has the colors marked
I just put them in in their right places at once
So I haven't put them in the wrong places yet
The earbuds are canal(in-ear) type
They've added a stem to the usual round shape
giving it that "bean sprout" look
The stem design has perks of housing mics and antennas
for better sound pickup and connection
and distributes weight to reduce ear fatigue
These practical reasons
probably outweighed
the "AirPod copycat" criticism
I think it was a good call
Sure, they might get flak for copying
but it genuinely improves the performance
I really felt
the advantages of the stem design while using them
I'll explain more later
To stand out from AirPods, they added
this "blade light"
They say it's for safety during night jogs
But more than safety
it seemed to be more about style
Surprisingly, it's got some neat features
Recently, I...
I went on a trip
I was sleeping on the plane
and I woke up and had dropped my Buds
I looked for it for a second, but I couldn't find it
so I use the function 'Find my earbuds'
Then, it lit up
and I noticed that they had fallen on the seat next to me
I thought it would be useful when they fell under car seats
that I can't see well even with the light on
I've never left the light on
because I thought I'd be an attention seeker
I think it would be good to know
that there are useful functions like this
I'll show you how it looks when I wear it
Doesn't it feel more sophisticated than AirPods?
I think the stem plays the biggest role
It's uncomfortable when you put it in and take it out
but I think it was a good design detail
It's not just once or twice
that someone asked for my number while wearing it
Maybe it's not because of the Buds
And what I liked the most is
this fit
In the previous one, the body part was big, so it felt like it was put on top of the ears
rather than the feeling that it fitting in perfectly
But as the body got smaller, I could feel that they went right into my ears
and the gaps got smaller
It might be because the shape of my ears and the size of Buds' ear tips
fit well with my ears
but I didn't feel like they were pressing my ears
In the case of this canal type
if you wear it for a long time because of the sound insulation
your ears will hurt no matter what
What should I say
It's a subtle fit between the canal type and the open type
Compared to the previous one, it doesn't fall out that well
I liked the fact that I dropped it less often
And with the stem installed
pinch control and swipe volume control are possible
Personally, I was glad
because it wasn't in the previous one
The difference from AirPods Pro is
that AirPods Pro have the recognition part at the front
while Buds 3 Pro have the recognition part at the back
I got it a little mixed up at first
but I got used to it quickly
There's a saying that humans are animals of adaptation
The method of use is almost the same as AirPods Pro
but if you press it for about 3 seconds
the noise cancellation function or allow ambient sound mode is activated
If you press it once, you can play and end the call
If you press it twice quickly, you can play the next song
If you press it three times, you can play the previous song
You can adjust the volume with a swipe
If you rub it upward, the volume goes up
If you rub it downward, the volume goes down
Next, we're going to talk about the most important thing in earphones
Sound quality
Looking at the overall evaluation
There were a lot of comments that the sound quality improved
so I was looking forward to it
In fact, the specifications of the driver and codec are almost the same
So 'could I feel that?' was what I wondered
But personally
the high and low notes are well balanced
Should I say it's better to listen
in general?
It's the same as the previous one
In terms of having a SSC codec and a 2-way speaker
But they changed the tweeter from dynamic to flat type
Buds' high notes
which was a chronic problem
have improved a lot
In addition, the reinforced woofer creates
a heavy bass and space
so I felt like it was approaching a much more popular sound quality
I tend to listen to a variety of songs
that I want to listen to depending on my mood or situation
Rock, EDM, hip hop, ballad, classical, idol music, etc.
I listened to the top songs in the charts by category
When I listened to the songs that emphasized the bass
those bass rhythm sounded strong and soft
and I felt the space
I listened to a live version of a concert
and I liked it because it felt so real
Of course, it was good with ballad songs with high notes
and classical instruments with strings
I was able to comfortably listen to songs that have a bouncy electronic sound
like "How Sweet" by NewJeans, a song that I like
Of course, it's not a high-end sound quality
This sound quality
I think it's enough to name it a 'pro' model
And as they released Buds 3 Pro
it became possible to set up user EQ
The frequency band increased from 6 to 9
so detailed settings are possible
There's definitely a difference
after touching it here and there
but there's a saying
What's the best result of tuning? The basic!
I set it to default
I'm not diligent enough to change the EQ settings every time
Noise canceling is not an upgrade
But more of a lower low-pitch sound blocking and higher mid-pitch sound blocking
It felt like a side-grade
After using it for a month
It's good at canceling sound level of human speech
The low notes like the sound of the subway
or high-pitch sound insulation for alarms or such
There's not much difference from the previous one
When I turned on noise canceling
It doesn't feel tight because my ears are clogged
I thought it would be okay for those who are sensitive to ear inflammation
You all know that noise canceling is also a matter of taste, right?
You can also set the strength of the noise canceling
Based on the strongest level of 5, there's up to level 1
The difference feels the greatest when you go down from level 5 to level 4
I didn't feel much different from below that
I like it when the sound insulation is the best
I don't think I'll use it below level 5
Listen to the surrounding sounds while I'm on noise canceling
I've used the automatic switching function
I can choose siren detection and conversation detection
Siren detection is about dealing with accidents
I thought it was a great feature
Conversation detection turned noise canceling off to simple replies and even to small sounds
There was a bit of delay for it to turn back on
It's convenient but I think it's also not
It feels like a white elephant?
So I'm only using siren detection
The surrounding sound allowance isn't bad
But like a pop filter
It felt like the sound was coming out after filtering out once
Personally, I thought it wasn't as natural as AirPods
It's called adaptive noise canceling
The noise control optimization is
It's not like the sound insulation is good
But you can't hear the surrounding sound well
It felt weird
When I was organizing something at a cafe
I turned on the noise control optimization
It felt like I couldn't block the sound around me at all
It's not loud, but annoying sounds like turning pages of books over
I heard the vibrating bell and the sound of going up and down the stairs
It only turned on when there's a loud noise like the subway
It didn't notice how noisy the environment is
I felt like it didn't recognize it well
Overall
I definitely liked AirPods better for noise canceling
I felt that Buds definitely has merit when it comes to sound quality
How did you all feel about it?
Please leave a comment about the sound quality
The thing that has always been lacking with the Buds compared to the AirPods is
The call quality, right?
There was even people saying that this is due to the limitations of earphone design itself
But this time, the design has changed to be more like the AirPods, right?
Seeing the stem-shaped design
Oh? I wondered if the call quality might have improved this time
It has improved!
I'll let you listen to the test I did right away
Great job to all the athletes from South Korea
Even in the subway or busy areas
Background noise is almost completely blocked out
Usually, when making calls on the subway
My friends used to say they could hear the station name
This time, they couldn't tell where I was
Of course, there were also comments that sometimes my voice sounded robotic during calls
If the surroundings are too noisy
Sometimes, my voice can get drowned out by the surrounding noise
Still, this time, compared to the AirPods
The comment of call quality being worse
I think it has somewhat overturned that assessment
Finally, let me tell you about the new features that have been added
It's the AI voice recognition translation feature
It's a fascinating feature
To explain how to use it
While wearing the product
Access the translation feature through the quick menu on the top bar
Next to the clock icon in the top right corner, you'll see an icon that looks like a folder
When you press it, what the other person is saying will appear on the cover screen as well
After pressing the microphone button on the left and listening to the other person’s speech
You can hear the translated content directly through the Buds
Once the translation of the other person's speech is finished, it automatically records what I'm saying
The translated content is displayed on the cover screen and played through the speaker
Although there is a slight delay, it didn't make the communication inconvenient
But so far, there is still something about having a conversation with the other person that feels
a bit awkward because I am wearing something in my ear
It feels a bit impolite
I am a K-adult
So, after actually using it, I found that it’s not really for conversations but rather for
conferences or meetings abroad
But don’t we usually get asked to remove our earbuds during lectures?
Although it translates in real time and provides accurate results
There were some errors in the transcription itself
And there is some delay
So it can be a bit inconvenient to just wait
It seems that it's still premature for practical use
Aside from that, if you say commands like ‘Turn up the volume’ or ‘Next song,’
There was a function to understand and execute it
I didn't want to use this function
because I used earphones when people were around
What if the person next to you
answers like "Sorry?", "What was that?"
But it's hard to use your hands
if you cook often or if you run early in the morning
You don't need to call Bixby to use this feature
so I think it'll be useful for those people
It's a product that I've been looking forward to the most
among the new Galaxy products including Galaxy ring
I was worried about the QC issue
But overall, I was satisfied
As long as it's not defective
the sound quality and the call quality have improved a lot
Personally
I think it's a good choice
to change the design to a stem style
Of course, as I said at first
the price is still a bit burdensome
I think it'll be okay if it goes down to around the lower KRW 200,000 range
That's it for today's video
If you have any more questions about the product
Please leave them in the comments
See you in the next video
Bye
