Samsung - Galaxy Buds 2 Pro vs Samsung - Galaxy Buds 3

The Galaxy Buds 3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (60.1 vs 64.5), but the 4.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

The Galaxy Buds 2 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 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. Its strongest claims are battery — with case, battery — buds, driver size, among others.

Both ship with comparable active noise cancellation, spatial audio, multipoint, 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.
