Galaxy Buds 3 PRO: Burns and load problems increasing, check your model

Samsung faces an avalanche of complaints on his Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Released in 2024, these headphones had everything to please us: elegant design, active reduction in noise improved by AI, and prolonged autonomy. But a major concern spoil the experience: many owners complain about load problems.

Galaxy Buds 3 PRO: a load problem touches several buyers

On Reddit and the Samsung forums, reports accumulate. Some explain that their headphones simply stop loading after a few days. Others report a more disturbing concern: burn marks on the stem, where the load pins connect. One also says that she has already replaced his headphones twice in less than two weeks.

In several cases, paint of the pins inside the case seems to melt, which suggests overheating during the load. Many suspect a design problem, or insufficient quality control. For our part, we had not noticed anything abnormal During our headphones testat the end of last year.

A concern limited to certain lots?

The problem seems to affect the Product lots before August 2024. A Reddit user said that his headphones from Lot 202408 (August 2024) operated properly, suggesting that the previous lots could be defective. To check, examine the barcode on the packaging, where the manufacturing date is indicated. If your Galaxy Buds 3 Pro were produced before August 2024, they may be more likely to present load problems.

Others believe that the concern comes from the last update published last October, but at this stage, nothing is certain.

In the absence of an official reaction from Samsung, some are trying to tinker with solutions. Cleaning load contacts with a cotton soaked in isopropyl alcohol could help. Others recommend adjust the pins with a small screwdriver.
