Know before you buy
You can adjust the volume by sliding your finger up or down along the touch-sensitive area on the stem of the earbuds. It provides a more tactile and precise way to control levels without needing to reach for your phone.
Yes, the Buds 3 support dual connection, allowing you to pair with two devices simultaneously. This makes it easy to switch audio sources, such as moving from a video call on your laptop to a phone call on your smartphone.
The 49dB rating indicates a high level of noise reduction capable of blocking out significant ambient sounds like engine hums or office chatter. Because it is adaptive, the earbuds automatically adjust the intensity of the cancellation based on your environment.
Yes, the Buds 3 feature an IP55 rating, which means they are protected against sweat and light rain. They are designed for a stable fit, making them a reliable choice for gym sessions or outdoor runs.
Golden Sound is a personalization feature that scans your ear canal and tests your hearing sensitivity to create a custom audio profile. This ensures the sound signature is balanced specifically for your ears, rather than using a one-size-fits-all EQ.
To take full advantage of the high-resolution audio provided by the LHDC 5.0 codec, your source device—such as your smartphone—must also support this specific Bluetooth codec. If your device does not support it, the earbuds will default to standard high-quality audio streaming.
