Status Between 3ANC vs Samsung Galaxy Buds3

Buy the Status Between 3ANC if sound quality and noise cancelling matter most. Its triple-driver setup, 38dB+ ANC and memory-foam seal beat the Galaxy Buds3 on isolation and bass depth, and owners rate it higher. Buy the Galaxy Buds3 if you want an open, tip-free fit that keeps you aware, plus Samsung AI features like Live Translate and 360 Audio. The Buds3 seal is looser, so ANC is weaker and bass lighter, and its 3.7 rating shows more mixed owner feedback.

  • Choose the Status Between 3ANC if you want strong noise cancelling, deep bass and a secure in-ear seal for commuting, flights or loud rooms.
  • Choose the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 if you prefer an open fit without ear tips and use a Galaxy phone for Live Translate and 360 Audio.

What reviewers say

Status Between 3ANC

  • 4.5 / 57,354 ratings

Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 7,354 ratings, the Between 3ANC is praised mainly for sound quality and noise cancelling at its price. The recurring complaint is fit: for some ears the buds move or drop out.

What people mention
  • Sound qualityPraisedOwners say the triple-driver setup gives clear vocals and highs with solid bass punch.
  • Noise cancellingPraisedReviewers rate the ANC as strong for the price, over 38dB.
  • FitMixedMany call the fit secure and comfortable, but some say the buds shift or fall out.
  • ValuePraisedBuyers repeatedly call the sound quality good for the money.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3

  • 3.7 / 53,200 ratings

Owners rate the Buds3 around 3.7 out of 5, which points to a mixed reception. The stem design, light fit and Galaxy integration get credit, while the open fit and noise canceling draw complaints.

What people mention
  • Noise cancelingMixedOwners say ANC helps on commutes but can't match sealed in-ear designs because the buds don't plug the ear canal.
  • FitMixedThe open, light fit is comfortable for many, but some find the buds sit loose and need readjusting.
  • SoundMixedListeners describe a clear, balanced sound, with some wanting more bass than the open design delivers.
  • Galaxy featuresPraised

Questions and answers

Which is better for noisy commutes?
The Between 3ANC. Its sealed tips and 38dB+ ANC cut engine and crowd noise far more than the open Buds3, which let sound in by design.
Which has better sound quality?
The Between 3ANC. Its two balanced armatures plus a dedicated bass driver give more detail and deeper bass than the Buds3 single driver.
Which lasts longer on a charge?
The Between 3ANC: 8 hours with ANC on and 12 off, versus up to 6 hours for the Buds3.
Is the Buds3 worth stepping up to from basic earbuds?
Only if you use a Galaxy phone. Live Translate, 360 Audio and the open fit are the draw; otherwise the 3ANC offers more for the money in sound and ANC.
Which is better for running and workouts?
The Between 3ANC has IPX-5 and a secure tip seal, but some owners report loosening. The Buds3 open fit stays aware but blocks less; try both for fit.
Do the Buds3 work with an iPhone?
They pair over Bluetooth and play audio, but Live Translate, 360 Audio and Adaptive EQ need a Samsung Galaxy device.
