Last summer, Samsung launched a slate of devices globally that included its Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro. The company has surprisingly given. a fairly radical change in terms of designbetting this time on headphones very different from those he used before (‘bean’ style).
Since its launch I have enjoyed the Pro variant, and the truth is that its sound never ceases to surprise me. The experience they offer is all-terrain, ideal for both walking and exercising. However, my surprise was immense: They stopped charging overnight. I was scared, but luckily it’s an easy mistake to correct.
Design change and housing are to blame
As I explained a little above, the main novelty of these headphones lies in their change in design. The Buds3 have a more traditional fit design, bet on the traditional “palito”. Logically, this design change also led to a reformulation of the case, which had to evolve towards a more elongated model.

The holes in the case are deeper and of course they are designed so that we can insert the headphones comfortably. The problem is that this extra depth makes it easier (and more likely) that these end up accumulating dirt or moisture. These foreign elements can prevent the earbuds from making contact and therefore not taking charge.
This error, as Samsung itself explains on one of its support pages, also allows you to interrupt a charge and a message appears on the mobile screen informing us of this. This can mean three things:
- The case does not have enough battery to charge the earbuds.
- There may be sweat, moisture or dirt preventing charging. Actually, The case can automatically suspend charging if you detect this to protect the integrity of the earphones.
- The case could be damaged.
In my case I knew there was a battery, so the first cause was dead. Hoping the case was safe and sound, I cleaned the entire inside of the case with a cotton swab. Even while maintaining good general cleanliness, the interior is likely to be filled with textile particles when you carry the case in your pocket. Fortunately, after a few passes, everything went well again.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that Cleaning should also be extended to the USB-C charging connectoranother critical point that usually accumulates dirt. A problem here could also prevent the case from charging, or even the charging cable itself. If we check all these points and the case or earphones still do not charge, we may have no choice but to contact the technical service.
