Samsung has released the Galaxy Buds3 FE – the latest member of the Galaxy Buds family – which have been designed to deliver top line features at a more affordable price.
The Galaxy Buds3 FE offer a more accessible path into the Galaxy ecosystem and now have incorporated the iconic blade design along with improved audio performance and Galaxy AI functionality.
The Galaxy Buds3 FE include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), improved call quality, longer battery life and a comfortable all-day fit so users can listen where and when they want.
The phones have a larger speaker onboard to deliver a richer and more powerful sound with a nice level of bass and clear treble.
The enhanced ANC can eliminate ambient sounds to allow users to focus on their own listening experience.
Samsung has also improved the call quality of the earphones knowing users who wear them for extended periods will want to be able to answer the call without removing them.
The improved quality through the earphones comes from being able to isolate your voice to ensure you are heard clearly even if you are in a noisy environment.
The microphone position has also been adjusted to face towards the user’s mouth to optimise voice pick up.
The Galaxy Buds3 FE also have intuitive controls with users able to simply pinch the blade to make selections or swipe for volume control.
Pairing has also been made easier via the pairing button on the cradle.
With Auto Switch, the Galaxy Buds3 FE can detect audio activity and switch connections to continue listening across all your Galaxy devices.
On the AI side, the Galaxy Buds3 FE also allow you to translate one language to another and connect to the digital assistant.
For translations, the Galaxy Buds3 FE links with the Galaxy AI Interpreter app on their smartphone so they can hear the foreign language and receive the translation just seconds later.
The Galaxy Buds3 FE will be priced at $249 when they go on sale on September 26. There will and be available in two colours – black and grey.
