Our Verdict
Samsung Galaxy Buds
Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless
The Sony WF-1000XM3 Truly Wireless and the Samsung Galaxy Buds perform quite similarly. The Galaxy Buds are slightly more comfortable due to their small size and it’s easier to get a nice fit with them. Both headphones sound very similar, but the Sonys have a better EQ inside their companion app. The WF-1000XM3 also have better bass-range isolation, which will be better for commuting.
