Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE combines Galaxy AI and noise cancelling in an affordable package

The new earbuds contain a speaker that’s larger than the previous Galaxy Buds FE, which Samsung said is able to deliver deep bass and clear treble.

Samsung fans might have noticed the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7 launch lacked an earbuds update. The last major refresh for Samsung’s in-ears was the Galaxy Buds3 Pro, launched in 2024.

Now, Samsung is bringing a minor addition to its earbuds lineup. It has quietly launched the Galaxy Buds3 FE, which is an affordable version of its Pro that retains active noise cancellation and Galaxy AI compatibility.

The new earbuds contain a speaker that’s larger than the previous Galaxy Buds FE, which Samsung said is able to deliver deep bass and clear treble.

It also comes with Enhanced ANC (active noise cancellation), on top of Crystal Clear Call technology that knows how to isolate voice from background noise. What’s also improved was the microphone positioning, which now faces the user’s mouth.

As a Galaxy wearable, it’s compatible with Galaxy AI when paired with a compatible Galaxy device. It also works with “Hey Google” voice commands, the Galaxy AI Interpreter app, and supports conversation-style instructions.

Galaxy Buds3 FE also adopts the iconic Blade design, although it doesn’t look like Samsung included the light strip that the Pro had (which is okay).
