Samsung has launched its budget-friendly Galaxy Buds 3 FE, offering enhanced sound quality, Galaxy AI features, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The “FE” stands for Fan Edition, which aims to deliver premium features at a more accessible price. The design closely resembles the Buds 3 Pro, featuring a sleek blade stem and in-ear tips instead of the older wingtip design, making them slimmer and more stylish. The buds also support smart gestures and touch controls for an improved user experience.
In terms of features, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE come with pinch and swipe controls to manage volume, media, and calls. They use a 1-way dynamic driver for deeper bass and richer sound. The earbuds include three microphones with Crystal Clear Call technology, using machine learning to separate voices from background noise. With an upgraded IP54 water resistance rating, they outperform the previous generation’s IPX2. Battery life is impressive, offering up to 6 hours with ANC and 8.5 hours without. Other highlights include Galaxy AI integration for live translation, Google Gemini support, Bluetooth 5.4, and 24-bit Hi-Fi sound with spatial audio. The Buds 3 FE launch in Black and Grey on September 5, 2025, with pricing for India still awaited.
