Between the Beats Fit Pro and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, the Beats Fit Pro comes out ahead in several specs, while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro wins on driver size and battery — with case. Overall, the Beats Fit Pro scores 59.2 and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro scores 62.7 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro edges ahead on the Mars Score (59.2 vs 62.7), but the 3.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
The Beats Fit Pro doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.
Pick the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are driver size, battery — with case, multipoint, among others.
Both ship with comparable battery — buds, active noise cancellation, spatial audio, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
