Open-fit earbuds
The open-fit model of the Galaxy Buds3 line: the buds rest in the outer ear without ear tips, with pinch and swipe controls on blade-shaped stems. The open fit limits noise cancelling, and several features need a recent Galaxy phone.
-
Open fit without ear tips
The buds sit in the outer ear without sealing the ear canal, which reviewers found comfortable for people who dislike ear tips. How well they stay in depends on ear shape, and reviewers found they could slip out.
-
Limited noise cancelling
The buds have active noise cancelling, but without a seal it can do little. Reviewers found it weak and inconsistent, at best taking the edge off steady noise such as air conditioning.

Galaxy phone features
With a recent Galaxy phone, the buds add Interpreter translation, Auto Switch between Galaxy devices and 24-bit/96 kHz audio over the Seamless Codec. Other phones connect over SBC or AAC.
