We’ve just reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and we’re very impressed: they deliver great-sounding audio quality, top-notch ANC and a premium, albeit derivative, design. But there is always room for improvement and there are often minor irritations that only emerge after a product launch. That’s why Samsung released a free software update just a few weeks after launch.
The update was noticed by Sammobilewhich reported that according to Samsung’s rather terse release, the updates “improve Bluetooth connection stability and sound.” The update is also available for the non-Pro Buds 3.
How to get the software update for the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
This is an over-the-air update, so it should be available now: the firmware version is R530XXU0AXJ1 for the Buds 3 and R630XXU0AXJ1 for the Buds 3 Pro.
Whichever version of the Buds 3 you have, the installation process should be quite painless and occur automatically. If not, make sure your Buds are charged, open the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone, go to Earbuds settings and look for Earbuds software update. You should now see an option to download and install. The update file is just over 7MB in size, so it shouldn’t take too long.
It’ll be interesting to see if the promised audio changes in a pair we rate among the best wireless earbuds are noticeable: on our pickiest note in our Buds 3 Pro review, we said the treble was perhaps a little too high compared with the bass and mid frequencies could be a little more prominent.
But if the update hasn’t changed anything, that’s no problem: unlike the AirPods Pro 2, with which the Buds 3 Pro have many similarities, Samsung’s earbuds allow you to adjust individual EQ bands to tailor the sound to your own taste. shape preference.
