Samsung Targets Mid-Tier Market with Feature-Rich Galaxy Buds 3 FE
Samsung Targets Mid-Tier Market with Feature-Rich Galaxy Buds 3 FE
The Galaxy Buds 3 FE come packed with solid hardware for their class. They’re equipped with a 1-way dynamic driver, tuned for richer audio output, and supported by three built-in microphones that work in tandem with AI to enhance call clarity. The earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Sound mode, giving you control over your listening environment.
They run on Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring a stable, low-latency connection, and support Samsung’s Auto Switch for seamless transitions between Galaxy devices. Audio is delivered via SSC, AAC, and SBC codecs, with SSC offering optimized quality within the Samsung ecosystem.
Sensors include proximity, hall, touch, and pressure detection — enabling smart features like auto-pause when removing an earbud. The earbuds are compatible with Android 11 and above, provided the device has at least 1.5GB of RAM.
In terms of durability, the earbuds carry an IP54 rating, making them resistant to dust and splashes — perfect for workouts or daily commutes (though the case isn’t rated, so keep it dry). Each earbud weighs just 5 grams, and the compact charging case (41.8g) slips easily into a pocket.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy Buds 3 FE are priced at $149.99 — a full $100 less than the launch price of the Buds3 Pro — making them a compelling option in the mid-range wireless market. They’ll start rolling out globally from September 5, available through Samsung’s website and major retailers.
