Overview

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are value-focused in-ear wireless earbuds for buyers who want Active Noise Cancellation, a secure wing-tip fit and close integration with Samsung Galaxy devices.

They use silicone ear tips to create an acoustic seal and removable wing tips to improve stability. Active Noise Cancellation reduces background noise, while Ambient Sound allows surrounding audio through when needed.

Battery life reaches up to 6 hours per charge and 21 hours with the case when Active Noise Cancellation is enabled. With ANC switched off, listening time increases to up to 8.5 hours per charge and 30 hours with the case.
