Should I buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 or Beats Studio Buds Plus?

The better pick depends mostly on fit and which phone you use.

Go with the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 if you:

• Use a Samsung Galaxy phone and want the best ecosystem features.
• Prefer an open-fit design with no silicone tips.
• Want a more premium feature set and stronger water/dust resistance.

Go with the Beats Studio Buds Plus if you:

• Want a sealed in-ear fit for a more isolated seal.
• Use both iPhone and Android and want easy cross-platform pairing.
• Prefer a more compact, understated look.

My quick take

• For Samsung phone owners: get the Galaxy Buds3.
• For mixed iPhone/Android use: get the Beats Studio Buds Plus.
• For ANC: the Beats usually have the edge because the seal helps block noise better.
