Samsung just pulled back the curtain on its newest audio gadget. It’s the Galaxy Buds3 FE, a fresh addition to their Fan Edition lineup. This means you get high-end features, but at a price everyday users can afford.
The Buds3 FE sports a slicker design. It features stems you can pinch or swipe for easy control. Samsung also added bigger speakers. These are made to give you deep bass. You also get clear treble and rich, detailed sound.
The Active Noise Cancellation, or ANC, got an upgrade. This means a more immersive listening experience for you.
Calls sound much better too. The Buds3 FE has three microphones. Plus, ‘Crystal Clear Call’ technology uses machine learning. It separates your voice from background noise, so you come through loud and clear.
The battery lasts for a good while. With ANC on, you get 6 hours of listening. The charging case extends this to 24 hours. Turn ANC off, and you get 8.5 hours. The case brings that total to 30 hours. An Auto Switch feature makes connecting super easy. It lets you switch quickly between your Galaxy devices. And Galaxy AI helps you use voice commands efficiently.
The Buds3 FE also has an IP54 rating. This protects it from dust and sprayed water. It’s a clear step up from the older IPX2 rating. That older rating only guarded against water drips.
You can grab the Buds3 FE in two colors: Black and Gray. It hits stores in the U.S. on September 4, 2025. The price tag is $149.99. For comparison, Apple’s AirPods 4 with ANC costs $179 in the U.S.
