I know this question has been asked a lot but my situation is a bit different, I have the airpods pro 2 for a year and a half, the sound is amazing and all it's features and it's been 6 months I switched from iPhone to a samsung phone s24, the connectivity is good the airpods automatically block out noise from outside but I'm considering switching to galaxy buds 3 pro, main reasons are: being able to find em in gps and better sound. So what are the main differences? And people who have both which one seems better? Let me know :)

I can get the Galaxy buds3 Pro for 140 euro with a sale and cashback with Samsung, i also have an Samsung phone which makes it connect a lot better.
I already have airpods 2nd gen, but I want good noise cancellation on my earphones, I don't know if I should wait for the airpods pro 3 with apparently 2x the noise cancellation or if I should just go with the Galaxy buds3 Pro as they are โฌ110 cheaper now.
I just want good noise cancellation as my ears are quite sensitive at times
Edit: Thank you for your help! I ended up getting the Galaxy buds3 Pro on amazonfor 123 euro with cashback. I'm really hoping they work out well! For half the price of the airpods pro 3 and over half the rrp of the galaxy buds 3 too, it's great to be able to get such a great deal.
Update: They just arrived today and I have been trying them out.
Right out of the box they connected really fast and it was easy to set up, however the sound quality was not great. I fiddled with the eq settings and got it to a point where I liked it. I really enjoyed the anc and transparency mode, I just didn't like how the sound changed between modes, I also didn't like how the sound didn't sound as full as my airpods gen 2, but once I put on loudness normalisation, all those problems went away.
They truly are great earphones, I'm sad they don't come preset with all the settings to make them a good experience right out the gate, but they are really worth it if you know how to mess around with them.
