The Galaxy Buds 3 series has been in stores for a few weeks now. Given that the latest Galaxy Buds are still new products, Samsung is monitoring user feedback to identify potential improvements. In line with that, the company is rolling out the October 2024 update for the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
One of the best features of modern earbuds is support for software updates. This makes sense, given the significant software component that powers the numerous “smart” features these things boast. However, updates can not only add new features or fix bugs in existing ones, but also tweak the earbuds’ tuning to further improve audio quality. That’s exactly what’s happening with this new firmware.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 series getting October 2024 firmware update
According to the official changelog, the October 2024 update for the Galaxy Buds 3 series focuses on improving both the Bluetooth connectivity experience and audio quality. It seems that some users were experiencing Bluetooth-related issues, such as occasional micro-cuts. So, Samsung is acting quickly to ensure the best possible experience. The company is keen to avoid further controversy surrounding the Galaxy Buds 3 series following initial complaints about quality control issues.
Regarding the improvement in audio quality, there are no more specific details. Note that this section can be highly subjective. For some, good audio means powerful bass, while others prefer a more balanced sound signature across all frequencies. It is not known what exactly Samsung tweaked in terms of audio. However, you just have to download the update and try the earbuds to find out. Remember that you can always resort to the EQ to tweak the audio to your liking.
The update for the Galaxy Buds 3 and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have the build numbers R530XXU0AXJ1 and R630XXU0AXJ1, respectively. You can check availability from the Galaxy Wearable app > Earbuds Settings > Earbuds Software Update > Download and install.
