Samsung Galaxy Buds FE: A Closer Look at the Fan Edition Earbuds

Samsung's "Fan Edition" (FE) lineup aims to bring popular features from flagship devices to a more accessible price point. The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, released in October 2023, follow this philosophy, offering a blend of premium features and a budget-friendly price. These true wireless earbuds are designed for everyday use, with a focus on comfortable fit, active noise cancellation, and seamless integration with the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.

Key Features

  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The Galaxy Buds FE feature a powerful ANC function that effectively blocks out a significant amount of ambient noise, making them ideal for commutes, flights, or simply finding a quiet space to enjoy your audio.

  • Ergonomic Design: The design of the Galaxy Buds FE is a notable return to a more secure fit. They incorporate wing tips, similar to older models like the Galaxy Buds+, which provide a snug and comfortable fit in the ear. The earbuds also come with different sizes of ear tips and wing tips to help users find the perfect fit.

  • Rich Sound: With a custom one-way speaker, the Galaxy Buds FE are designed to deliver a rich audio experience with an emphasis on enriched bass. The sound can be further customized with a variety of EQ presets available in the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app.

  • Clear Calls: The earbuds are equipped with a three-microphone system (Main Mic, Sub Mic, and Inner Mic) that works in harmony to deliver clear and crisp calls. The device also uses a Deep Neural Network (DNN) solution to filter out background noise, ensuring your voice is heard clearly.

  • Long Battery Life: The Galaxy Buds FE offer a respectable battery life. With ANC off, the earbuds themselves can last for up to 8.5 hours on a single charge, with the charging case providing a total of up to 30 hours of playback time. With ANC on, this is reduced to 6 hours for the earbuds and 21 hours total with the case.

  • Seamless Galaxy Integration: For users within the Samsung ecosystem, the Galaxy Buds FE offer a seamless experience with features like Auto Switch, which automatically detects audio activity and transfers the connection between your Samsung Galaxy devices.
