Real-world battery is 4–5 hours with ANC, not 6. One earbud drains faster than the other too

If you don't have a Samsung phone you're paying full price for half a product — none of the AI or codec features work
Source: Amazon reviewerThe Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are a solid pair of earbuds built almost entirely for Samsung Galaxy phone owners. The dual-driver sound quality is genuinely impressive, IP57 rating beats everything else in the TWS tier, and Galaxy AI features are useful if you travel internationally. The problem: ANC is a step backward from the Buds2 Pro, real-world battery falls well short of Samsung's claim, and the best features are locked behind Samsung hardware. On iPhone or non-Samsung Android, you're paying $329 for about half a product.
