Top 3 Best Samsung Earbuds In 2025
No 1 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

Samsung has finally turned a corner with its Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, which forego futuristic looks in favor of great 24-bit sound, head-tracked spatial audio and a design that fits comfortably. Samsung has done with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.
They’re good. No, really, they’re good. The company has emphatically turned a corner. These smaller, more comfortable and less arrogant earbuds (remember the rose gold, kidney-bean shaped Galaxy Buds Live? These are nothing like those) are packed full of useful perks such as excellent ANC, voice detect, wearer detection and customizable on-ear controls – all of which work very well indeed – plus IPX7 water ingress protection.
But the headline-grabber, if you own a Samsung Galaxy device (and thus, access to the Samsung Wearable companion app and home-screen widget) is 360 audio with optional head-tracking, thus allowing you to use your phone as the focal point to direct more of that new end-to-end 24-bit high-res audio to whichever ear you prefer.
The uptick in sound quality emphatically goes hand in hand with the improved fit and lightness here – the Buds Pro 2 are 15% smaller than Samsung’s last effort and 0.8g lighter per earpiece (5.5g vs the 6.3g Buds Pro) – but more importantly, the design fits your ear simply and without the wearer having to master any overly-aggressive twist-and-lock techniques. In terms of fit, Samsung has absolutely hit a home run with the Buds 2 Pro – and the praise doesn’t stop there.
Pros
- Vastly improved hi-res sound quality
- Solid ANC
- Classy, comfortable design and finish
Cons
- Battery life is only average
No 2 Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offer great-sounding audio quality, top-notch ANC and a premium, though derivative, design. There’s a lot to like! Some key upgrades over their predecessors fix many of our issues, though other features added don’t exactly impress – especially when they’re only accessible to owners of Samsung’s most recent Galaxy devices. And there’s another issue at play here: the chunky price tag.Frankly, these earbuds sound fantastic, with some of the best sound in any earbuds I’ve tested. The V-shaped audio means you’re getting meaty bass but also defined treble, so whether you’re listening to the highest opera or the lowest synthwave you’re going to be enjoying your music. There’s no need to worry about background noises getting in the way either, with the powerful noise cancellation of the buds doing an amazing job at eradicating noises around you. I was really impressed with how the Buds 3 Pro didn’t just reduce the prominence of noises around me, but stopped me noticing many of them at all.
And I know I’ve been down on the AirPods’ – sorry, the Galaxy Buds’ – design, but it’s a popular shape in the wireless earbuds sector for a reason. The Buds 3 Pro are comfortable to wear, are light enough that they stay stuck in your ear and look pretty svelte too. Some issues from our Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have been fixed too, including my personal sticking point: the low battery life. The Buds 3 Pro last a little longer in use but the case battery life has seen more noticeable increases, making the 3 Pro much better suited for longer journeys.
Pros
- Fantastic sound
- Thorough ANC
- Lightweight design
Cons
- High price
- Removing eartips is a fuss
- Key features require a newer Galaxy phone
No 3 Samsung Galaxy Buds FE

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE not only sound good but offer great active noise cancellation. Think of the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE as the Samsung equivalent of the Apple AirPods and you’re not far off. Keenly priced, they’re immediately no good for iPhone owners due to the lack of iOS app.
However, if you have a Samsung or other Android phone, things get more tempting for those on a budget. The earbuds themselves are small and comfy to wear, albeit lacking potent protection from water or dust. While small, they have respectable battery life of up to nine hours with active noise cancellation switched off or about six with it switched on.
Throw in the 21 hours from the charging case and these are some buds that won’t need charging too often throughout the week, no matter how busy things get. That’s fortunate given the lack of wireless charging is one that bothers you just a tiny bit more than it probably should.
The highlight is the ANC, which is great. Switch it on and the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE will block out all those pesky surrounding noises like a dehumidifier, neighbours doing construction work and so forth. Skip the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE if you’re an Apple user but for everyone else, there’s a decent amount of value to them. They look good, feel good, and they’re simple to use.
Pros
- Great ANC
- Snug fit
- Good audio
Cons
- No wireless charging
- Only much good for Samsung owners
Conclusion
Samsung is a well-known manufacturer of fashionable, multipurpose audio equipment. When searching for the finest Samsung wireless earbuds, there aren’t many options, but their versions all function effectively. In addition to being fashionable, they boast exceptional battery life and a well-balanced sound. Regretfully, they are not as well-made as comparable models from other companies, and their associated software may provide even more personalization choices.
