Samsung Galaxy Buds FE Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancelling, Comfort Fit, Graphite, 2 Year Manufacturer Extended Warranty (UK Version)

Great Samsung buds, with good sound quality, easy to pair and connect. Has Ambient ,Noise reduction features that work well ,touch control function that can be set using the app on my phone and tablet and they also can connect to my switch 2 easily. Small rubber wing on the buds make them stay in the ears well even if moving about ,slim profile makes long battery life even more impressive. Widget also displays bud and case battery levels once connected. ..battery life is very good ,case charges the buds quickly amd last very well. Worn these in work for long periods and they have never run out of charge. Case also holds a fair amount of recharge capability and charges the buds back up quickly. Nice small compact design. Only floor is the lost 'find my buds' function is not as good as some others ,last location sometimes does not update and general area can be hard to locate them. Have dropped these in work lots of time ,case'n'all and they still work perfectly. Very good quality buds. Have bought a second pair for my girlfriend, she loves them. Would buy again if needed ,definitely recommended.

It's pretty easy to draw comparisons on these to others as there are so many brands/makes out there that do wireless headphones. However, as they are the same brand as the phone, it connect easily and without fuss so that's a bonus, as some can be quite a faff to connect. I paired with my phone (and there is a good app that helps you get the best out of them), my tablet and my laptop, so I could try them out in different situations. With the phone, as you would expect, clear sound but I personally felt they lacked a bit of bass/depth to the sound, and this was after my playing with the app. On my tablet, great for streaming. On my laptop, great for meetings and the noise cancelling was pretty good compared to others that claim to cancel noise but don't! It took me a little while to get the fit right in my ears, and the app helped with that as well! but once I worked out the best position, they fit well, were comfortable and a couple of times I forgot they were in! Battery life is pretty decent, and the case can be charged via a USB-C cable so charge pretty quickly. If you lose then, you can locate them with an app, so thats a bonus. My only point to raise that might be viewed as slightly negative is that I would have preferred more bass as that was lacking a little, but overall a good piece of kit to have.

I’m genuinely impressed with the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE. They deliver fantastic sound quality and performance at a very reasonable price point. The audio is clear and well-balanced, with punchy bass, crisp vocals, and good overall depth. Whether listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls, everything sounds sharp and immersive. The active noise cancellation works surprisingly well too, noticeably reducing background noise and making it easier to focus. Comfort is a big highlight. The earbuds fit securely without feeling bulky, and they stay in place during workouts or long listening sessions. The different ear tip options help achieve a snug, personalised fit. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting through daily use, and the charging case is compact and convenient to carry. Connectivity is fast and stable, especially with Samsung devices, pairing quickly and maintaining a strong connection. Touch controls are responsive and easy to use, allowing quick adjustments without reaching for your phone. Overall, these are reliable, comfortable, and feature-packed wireless earbuds that offer impressive performance for the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality sound and effective noise cancellation without overspending.

I have a love hate relationship with wireless ear buds having had a few pairs throughout the years. This type of completely wireless ear buds give the most freedom from trapping wires in clothes but often feel heavy in the ear. The Galaxy Buds FE feel a bit like this they're definitely longer than I was hoping they would be and so stick out of my ears more than I hoped. The galaxy wearable app has a handy fit checking feature which helps advise on when you've achieved a good fit acoustically but they still felt like they may fall out if I were to run. The buds come with three different sizes of tips and two types of wings. I think I'm most disappointed by the wings as I had hoped they'd plug into the ridges in my ears and provide stability but they don't even touch my ears. Perhaps I need to keep playing with ear tip sizes to get the buds in further. Otherwise the Galaxy buds FE are great and offer a lot of premium features. Pairing them with my phone is so easy you just open the case the buds come with and click on the Bluetooth icon and it downloads all the software etc by itself. The Sound quality is amazing and it has fubctioning active noise cancellation a lot of the earphones and hesdphones that I've previously bought at this pricepoint say they have ANC but the ANC produces a faint sound itself but this is much more premium and doesn't produce a sound of its own and does a good job of eliminating most of the background noises on my commute. The smart things app gives you a find my buds feature which uses other Samsung devices to help find your devices if you lose them and the wearables app has a whole host of features such as equilaiser which you just don't usually get from other devices at this price range. The case is great charging the buds and is really strong construction. The one thing I question is why they chose to give is a shinny white finish when the case will have a relatively tough life and the buds have a nice matt black finish. Overall I'm very happy with this product once I figure out the fit for my ears I will give it all 5 stars.

First up -- for £99 these are lovely. I'd pitch them against the MTW3's interm of overal "out of the box" sound. ANC is very strong. I'd say easily on par with DPP/MTW3 with the Bose QCU being another step-up Was able to crank up the airplane noise video above pretty high and while i could still hear it 55-65% volume on the buds was pleasant hearing volume. They are capable of getting VERY loud. I'm listening at maybe 65-70% but i cannot turn these above maybe 90% before it's unbearable. I didn't want to put them to 100 The buds come in the now obligatory plastic free packaging. Items included: User Guide 3x sets of tips (very tall ones) 1x no ridge wings (normal fins fitted) USB C cable The charging case is small and very pocket friendly. No wireless charging (but since Bose felt it appropriate to skip this on their £300 buds i can forgive Samsung for this) Just a small light on front to indicate charge status. The case is glossy/smooth white (even though buds are graphite colour), i thought i'd got the wrong buds when i saw case :) The included ear-tips are meshed and tall. The stem on the buds is short with a small retention lip but circular. You only get the option of the retention fins as either yes or no. The replacement option in the case is smooth with no raised parts. Typical 3 sizes of ear tips in grey silicone. I found them too tall for me though and immediately replaced with Spinfit CP1025's for TWS which are my go-to tips as they make the buds size much more comfortably in my ears (both canals and concha gets much less fatigue) Pairing/Sync I have a Samsung S23 so the buds are much more deeply integrated into the phone OS than for any other device. Opening up the case immediately does an Apple-esque popup showing a picture of the buds and a simple connect/cancel button. It then downloaded the plug-in for the buds to integrate fully. You have 3 options to see various levels of info/controls: 1. Home screen widget gives you battery level of the buds and 2 buttons to toggle ANC/Ambient/off and a second button to enable/disable the touch controls on the buds 2. Bluetooth section gives battery life, options to divert calls/audio and enable or disable multipoint but this seems tied to Samsung devices. The page also gives ANC controls and a button to open Samsung Wearable App 3. Samsung Wearable gives you the whole entire control suite In the Wearables app you have options to customise the touch controls but only enable or disable predefined functions -- cannot change what the taps do You get find-my-buds option and then settings. In that you get EQ (select from pre-defined options no custom EQ), an earbuds fit-test (simple tone thing), then ususal smart assistant and other basic options There is a labs gaming mode too available which i assume lowers latency Ok - with a quick tip reroll, for me the buds are some of the most comfortable i've got with a caveat. They sit nestled nicely and don't put any pressure on anywhere. They don't feel quite as secure as my MTW3, they do with stock tips but that ends up pressuring my concha too much. But i know i'm really hard to sort out for some reason with my ears Onto the sound... This is where they're a surprise. Out of the box they're really nice. I'd put them very very close to the MTW3's. In terms of bass i enjoy the depth and feeling of a good sub-bass even if it's not particularly elevated, just like the extension into sub-bass. I would rank the 4 buds i've listened to recently in this order: Bose QCU 4th MTW3 tied 3rd Samsung Buds FE 2nd Denon Perl Pro 1st (they just have bass for days) One thing though they don't have any background hiss present when music isn't playing. This is definitely something the MTW3 have. But for the rest of the spectrum i'd probably put them all very similar bracket. Some have slight benefits here and there but it's hard to pinpoint. I'd say the one thing the Samsung Buds lack is EQ possibility since you simply have the "bass boost", "Treble", "Vocals", "Dynamic" type presets but you cannot tweak an EQ, nor do they do any kind of personal tuning. So that puts them in last place for that but the default sound isn't far off how i like it anyway. The dynamic option gives the classic V type of adjustment lifting the bass and treble with a small dip at 2-4k but overall that's the "fun mode" option. Buds touch feedback - they do have beep audio signal on touch press but where with the MTW3/DPP it's a live immediate response to each touch, the Samsung beeps the number of times it thought you pressed after you stop pressing. So just after your double tap you get a very light double-beep. Still better than Bose which has no beep feedback which i find irritating. Codec is hard to know -- they support AAC/SBC but the SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec) which can support 24/96 -- but nowhere can i see in the app / settings where i can confirm my S23 is using that with these except when i checked in Developer Options i could see it was the active codec. The signal strength though is RIGHT up there. With my phone on my desk in my office i could go to the other end of the house (back of kitchen) and it didn't even flicker in sound. Most buds start to break up around the sink (when i'm getting myself a drink i tend to have my buds in and often it starts to give an odd drop with most) I think we're really in a rapidly evolving time with this stuff but it feels like we're creeping towards that point of diminishing returns. The quality you can get for £99 is staggering. Given i've tried the DPP's twice, the MTW3 (own now) and the Bose QCU I cannot see the DPP's or Bose being worth 3x the price. Yes they all have their own twist on things, with DPP's Nura acquired tech, Bose ANC prowess etc But the Bose are not worth the money for me -- the "Ultra" moniker has been used too soon by them to justify it as more than a QC2.5 and for me the music side was lacking. DPP's are nice (actually bought them again to give them another chance) and if you want screaming bass then yeah -- they can pack a huge punch. The MTW3's are the premium "come good" option with their new personalised sound option which seems to have transformed them. I think the issue with "premium" TWS is longevity. The codec's are not unified yet, the tech is getting mature but it is not yet consistent, especially with non-apple products on iPhone still being limited to AAC. Even on Android where LDAC/AptX Adaptive is available most phones still don't have it. So paying so much for a battery depedent item which has non-user service construction means that premium has to be something amazing given a shorter lifespan. At least wired IEM's can be made wireless, or can have a life ranging to many years without issues.

I must say this is probably one of my best tech purchases. Not only the earbuds fit my ears perfectly without falling off but they also perform very well. As mentioned, I am most happy about how comfortably these sit in my ears I wear my buds every day to work as I have a fair distance to walk and I occasionally run but never had any issues with these falling out. The noise cancelling option is a great feature to have. When walking to work I need to listen for the oncoming cyclists or walkers while when I am at work or exercising, I can switch the noise cancelling by simpy touching both pods simultanousely and forget about the whole world. The sound is nice and clear, probably comparable with the higher end buds on the market. I loved how easy it was to pair these buds with my Samsung 23FE and how easy the buds switch between other devices too. The battery life is definitely worth mentioning too. Althought it has only been couple of weeks that I have been using these, I can say I am very pleased with the battery life. They hold the battery well and the case charges so quick and holds additional charge for the buds. So I never really have to worry about buds not being charged - I would use them all day and put them away for the night for them to recharge and so on. I would definitely recommend these buds - great quality an affordable price.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comfortable, Compact & Clear 🎧 – Great for Everyday Use I’ve tried a fair few wireless earbuds over the years, and the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE have genuinely impressed me. I actually own two pairs now — that probably says it all 😄 Let’s start with comfort — because that’s what first won me over. I originally ruled out Samsung’s earbuds because the non-FE versions were too bulky and uncomfortable. These FE versions are smaller, lightweight, and shaped perfectly for my ears. I can wear them all day (and I do!) without any discomfort — which is rare for in-ear buds 👂💯 Sound quality is solid 🎵 — clear, nicely balanced, with enough bass to feel full without overpowering the rest. Whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or hopping on a quick call, they deliver. The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) works well indoors, reducing distractions like background chatter or hum. It's not studio-level ANC, but for everyday use, it's more than enough ✅ Battery life is decent 🔋 — not the best I’ve ever had, especially compared to some cheaper alternatives — but I’m a very heavy user. I often have at least one bud in all day, even when watching TV. It's worth noting that having ANC on uses more battery, so turning it off when you don't need it does make a difference. 🔇 When they’re running low, you get a beep warning which is helpful. And to be fair, they charge really quickly in the case ⚡️ — so even short breaks keep them topped up and ready to go. The 2-year manufacturer extended warranty adds peace of mind 🛡️, and for what most people need day to day, these absolutely deliver. --- Final verdict: Great value, especially for those who want comfort, clarity, and convenience. I hope this review helps you decide if this item is right for you 😊 Addendum: I have two sets of these. The latest one ordered 10th June. I used them for the first time on the 12th (delivered 11th). They had some charge already so not in initial concerns. However I put them on charge last night and the right charged to 100 percent and the left remains on 3 percent. The case is also at 100 percent. The left no matter what I do will not charge. I have now asked for a replacement. Low and behold I have to return by the 13th August or I will be charged (no issues I'll return), however the new set will come between the 28th July and 20th August. Why? Just why? I ordered a UK based product. Incidentally the other set is EU and no issues. I am upset the amount of time I have to wait. If I ordered another set today (seperate to this issue) it would be delivered tomorrow so feels like I am being punished! I will update my review again later once received.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, or "Fan Edition," earbuds hit the market as a more affordable alternative to the premium Buds Pro. But do they skimp on features or sound quality? I spent a few weeks with these buds to find out, and here's my detailed review: The Buds FE retain the sleek, pill-shaped design of their predecessors. They're lightweight and comfortable for extended wear, thanks to the included ear tips and wingtips in various sizes. However, some users might find the fit a bit shallow compared to other earbuds. The Buds FE deliver a well-balanced sound with a slight emphasis on bass, making them perfect for everyday listening. Vocals are clear and instruments are well-separated, even at higher volumes. While they may not offer the audiophile-grade detail of pricier buds, the overall sound quality is impressive for the price point. The ANC on the Buds FE is surprisingly effective, blocking out a significant amount of ambient noise. It's not quite on par with the Buds Pro, but it's definitely good enough to tune out distractions during commutes or workouts. Other Features: Ambient Mode: Lets you hear your surroundings when needed, ideal for safety or situational awareness. Touch Controls: Easy to use for playback, volume, and ANC/Ambient Mode. Voice Assistant: Supports Samsung Bixby and Google Assistant. Auto Switch: Seamlessly transitions between Galaxy devices. Battery Life: Up to 5 hours with ANC on, up to 7 hours without. The case provides an additional two charges, for a total of up to 24 hours. Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are a compelling option for anyone looking for a feature-packed pair of true wireless earbuds at a reasonable price. They offer good sound quality, effective ANC, and a comfortable fit. While they may not be the absolute best in any one category, they excel in overall value and are a great choice for everyday use. Pros: Affordable price Well-balanced sound with good bass Effective ANC Comfortable fit Plenty of features, including ANC, Ambient Mode, and touch controls Good battery life Cons: Fit might not be ideal for everyone Sound quality not as detailed as some pricier options No wireless charging

Good

I bought the buds and returned them twice, each time the left earbud had defect where there is wind noise when using ANC or Ambient modes
