Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Reviewers strongly praised the Buds3 Pro's overall sound, often calling it excellent, lively, detailed, or among the best in its class, with only a few tuning caveats.

17 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Sound quality is the product's strongest consensus win, with rich, detailed and unusually mature performance for the price. A few reviewers wanted more refinement, but many thought it competed surprisingly close to much more expensive earbuds.

30 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Frequency response evidence was positive, with one reviewer finding a close Harman-curve match and another saying lab results tracked the target closely except for bass.

2 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

The default tuning is usually described as balanced, warm and natural rather than aggressively V-shaped. A few reviewers heard too much brightness or bass, but the overall frequency balance earned positive marks.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Passive isolation was mixed: a good seal blocked some sound, but reviewers said the design did not isolate as well as deeper in-ear or foam-tip alternatives.

3 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Passive isolation is a useful foundation for ANC. Reviewers who discussed the seal found it capable of blocking a fair amount of outside sound even before electronic cancellation is applied.

Gaming latency was praised in one review after Game Mode delivered phone gaming without noticeable delay.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Low-latency and gaming performance is generally strong. Game Mode often brought audio close to the action, although Bluetooth still leaves enough delay or directional imprecision to limit competitive use.

5 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Microphone noise reduction was split: some reviewers heard strong voice isolation, while others found background clutter or app-based recordings less impressive.

6 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Microphone noise reduction works well in ordinary indoor or moderately noisy settings, but heavy wind and busy streets expose its limits. Background suppression can also make the user's voice quieter or less stable.

8 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

ANC was broadly useful but not universally class-leading; some reviewers called it excellent or effective, while others found it merely decent or underwhelming.

15 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Noise cancellation is the main point of disagreement. Some reviewers found it impressively effective on steady low-frequency noise, while several others called it average, confusing to configure, or clearly behind the strongest rivals.

29 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

The soundstage was described as open, broad, and improved, giving music more separation and breadth than expected from true wireless earbuds.

3 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

The stage is generally wide and spacious for budget earbuds, helping music feel open and immersive. A few reviewers still found it narrower than premium alternatives or wider than it is deep.

10 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Bass was generally viewed as strong, punchy, and satisfying, though a few reviewers found it loud, thumpy, or overcooked depending on volume and preset.

14 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Bass is one of the sound profile's strengths: deep, punchy and generally well controlled without swamping the mids. A minority found the default low end a little thick or less forceful than expected.

26 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Lossless or hi-res audio support was valued but limited by Samsung-device requirements and only subtle perceived improvements in some tests.

5 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Lossless-oriented codec support is impressive for a budget model, but reviewers were careful about its limits. It can improve the available wireless quality with compatible devices without turning Bluetooth into truly wired lossless playback.

9 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Spatial audio was mixed: some reviewers found it immersive or useful, while others called it hit-or-miss, compressed, or only occasionally worthwhile.

9 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

There is no dedicated spatial-audio processing, but reactions to that omission are mostly mild. Some reviewers missed the feature, while others felt the natural width and depth made artificial spatial modes unnecessary.

3 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

LDAC support was viewed negatively because reviewers explicitly wished Samsung had included LDAC or noted its absence as disappointing.

3 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

LDAC is valued for giving Android users another high-bitrate option and sometimes a little more body or detail. Its drawback is higher battery use and, in some setups, more connection instability or reduced multipoint flexibility.

11 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

Preset EQ quality was praised in one review, especially the Clear preset and Samsung's unusually useful preset choices.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

The large preset library gives plenty of quick tuning options, but quality and usability are mixed. Some reviewers liked the choice while others found the presets excessive, poorly organized, or less useful than the manual EQ.

11 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

The earbuds work across a broad mix of phones, computers and portable gaming devices, and reviewers generally had few compatibility problems. Android gets the richest codec options, but basic use remains strong across platforms.

Portability was praised because reviewers found the case small, pocketable, and easy to carry.

3 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Transparency and ambient modes were a major strength, often described as natural, clear, convincing, and among the best some reviewers had heard.

7 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Transparency mode is useful for conversations and basic awareness, but it is rarely described as class-leading. Reviewers commonly called it decent or good enough, with less natural amplification than premium rivals.

16 supporting reviews

7 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

Midrange performance is generally clear, full and natural, with vocals and instruments staying distinct from the bass. A few reviewers found the mids recessed, thin or less energetic, making this less unanimous than the bass praise.

Treble drew mostly positive comments for clarity, detail, and quick transients, but some reviewers heard fatigue, sharpness, or a darker default tuning that needed EQ.

10 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus

9 supporting reviews

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Earbuds

14 supporting reviews

EarFun Air Pro 4 Plus
