#136 Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro: $189.99 TWS Amazon eBay

Pros: True wireless earbuds with active noise cancelling that still measure well, scoring 77.1 in the median of 5 squig.link measurements. Bass lifts about 1.6 dB above target with full extension to 20 Hz, a warm tuning that suits commuting and pop. Battery runs 6 hours with ANC on and 26 with the case, IP57 handles sweat and rain, and the SSC codecs add higher-quality streaming on Samsung phones. It rates higher than the older Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.

Cons: Presence sits about 3.5 dB below target with a 4.3 dB dip near 3.9 kHz, which recesses vocals and makes guitars and snares less defined. The higher-quality SSC codecs only work with Samsung phones, so other phones fall back to AAC or SBC.
