There is probably no doubt that the Buds 3 line copies air pods, and it is not bad in principle, it is a partial copy, supplemented with its own functions from the game, and some light innovation. There' s no point in criticizing them for that, with buds live and buds 2 pro, among other things, air pods pro, I' m quite happy about it. They are great live, but their anc is rain and keeping them in your ears at night is fine only if the touch controls are turned off.
The Buds 2 pro sound is also good, I never actually tried to sleep with them, because I never felt them, in my ear they were always a bit big, at the same time not very well fitting, only a little smaller than the wf1000xm4, not to mention the xm5. Apart from the xm4, not only do most of them not fit perfectly, but they are also very light, so there is no feedback as they hold, I have to stuff them into the ear canal, which is not entirely ideal, and I usually have a compulsive feeling that they look good (and they do. ) That' s why I was quite happy for the air pods for the tablet.
And buds 3 give me the same - I feel that I have them, but not so that it is unpleasant. Air pods also copy it with gestures. I need the interplay of the finger for the gesture, there is no risk of accidental touch. The angularity of the feelers is strange, it' s a strange sight, but I don' t mind it at all, it' s fine to my ears. But it is possible that it could somehow disturb someone, cut an edge.
Those who have Buds 2 Pro and don' t want to change the style of the headphones, can probably just put them in, they will get AI, I mean they already have the preparation. Who wants new headphones and wants to try Samsung, they are quite decent, and the only inconvenience is the price.
