Between the Beats Fit Pro and Galaxy Buds 3, the Beats Fit Pro comes out ahead in several specs, while the Galaxy Buds 3 wins on driver size and multipoint. Overall, the Beats Fit Pro scores 59.2 and the Galaxy Buds 3 scores 64.5 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Galaxy Buds 3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (59.2 vs 64.5), but the 5.3-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 if audio quality and feature breadth (ANC, codecs, multipoint) are the lead criteria for your purchase. Its strongest claims are driver size, multipoint, weight per bud, among others.
Both ship with comparable battery — buds, battery — with case, active noise cancellation, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Galaxy Buds 3 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
