Nothing has made a career out of punching above its weight, and the Ear 3 continue that tradition in a matchup that Samsung probably did not expect to be this close. Nothing's earbuds deliver sound quality that genuinely surprises, with a detail and punch that you would normally expect from earbuds costing significantly more. The transparent design is still a head-turner, making them the kind of earbuds that start conversations, and the battery life is impressively long. Samsung's Galaxy Buds 3 counter with the reliability and polish of a major brand, delivering noise cancelling that is noticeably more effective at shutting out the world around you. The sound is good and well-balanced, though it does not quite match the character and energy that Nothing brings. Both are comfortable enough to wear all day without issues, making this category a genuine tie. Where this comparison gets really interesting is the price gap, with Nothing delivering a remarkably similar experience for considerably less money. If you want to try something fresh with incredible value, Nothing is the exciting pick. If you want proven reliability and better ANC, Samsung is the safe choice.
