How to Find Your Lost Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in Minutes
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are Samsung's first earbuds with a blade-like stem design inspired by the AirPods Pro, replacing the bean shape of earlier models — and the protruding stems can catch on scarves and jacket collars, causing them to pop out unnoticed. They feature BLE 5.4, the newest Bluetooth standard in any consumer earbud, which provides EarBuddy with a cleaner, more detectable advertisement signal at ranges up to 33 feet indoors. SmartThings Find is entirely locked to Samsung Galaxy phones, so the estimated 50% of Buds 3 Pro owners who use iPhones have no native way to locate them without EarBuddy.

Why SmartThings Find Can't Find Your Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
SmartThings Find requires a Samsung Galaxy phone with a Samsung account. If you use an iPhone or a non-Samsung Android phone, you cannot use SmartThings to locate your Buds.
Step-by-Step: Find Your Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro With EarBuddy
Your Galaxy Buds 3 Pro uses BLE 5.4, broadcasting at 2.4 GHz with a typical range of 33 feet indoors. With up to 6 hours (26 with case) of battery life, there's a good chance it's still transmitting. Here's how to track it down:
Open EarBuddy and start scanning.
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro emit a BLE signal that EarBuddy can detect on any phone.
Walk through the area where you last had them.
Watch for increasing signal strength on the radar display.
The Buds 3 Pro are small — check bag pockets, between seats, and on shelves.
