The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE have arrived, bringing a blend of accessible pricing and premium features to the popular Fan Edition lineup. Officially launched in India and slated for release in the US on September 4th, 2025, these earbuds aim to deliver a superior audio experience with enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and innovative AI-powered translation capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy Buds3 FE is its integration with Galaxy AI. Working in conjunction with the Galaxy AI Interpreter app on a connected smartphone, the Buds3 FE provide real-time translation directly to the user's ears. This effectively transforms the earbuds into a personal translator, making it easier to understand foreign languages during conversations or lectures. Furthermore, the inclusion of Google Gemini allows for hands-free voice commands, enabling users to manage tasks like checking emails or adjusting music playback without needing to reach for their phones.

To provide an immersive audio experience, the Galaxy Buds3 FE boast enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This technology effectively reduces ambient noise, allowing users to focus on their music or calls even in noisy environments. In addition, the Crystal Clear Call technology utilizes a machine learning model to isolate the user's voice during calls, ensuring clear communication even in windy or crowded locations. The improved microphone positioning also contributes to better voice pickup. The Galaxy Buds3 FE also feature 360 Audio for a surround sound experience.

The Galaxy Buds3 FE showcase a new "Blade design" with a matte dual-tone finish and semi-transparent accents. This design incorporates intuitive pinch-and-swipe controls on the stem, making it easy to adjust volume and manage playback. The earbuds seamlessly integrate into the Samsung ecosystem, featuring a pairing button on the cradle for quick connections and Auto Switch for smooth audio transitions between Galaxy devices.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Buds3 FE are equipped with larger dynamic drivers, engineered to deliver richer sound with powerful bass and crisp treble. The inclusion of Bluetooth 5.4, along with support for AAC, SBC, and Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC), ensures stable connectivity and high-quality audio.

In terms of battery life, the Galaxy Buds3 FE offer up to 8.5 hours of music playback on a single charge with ANC turned off, and a total of 30 hours with the charging case. With ANC enabled, users can expect around 6 hours of playtime, extending to 24 hours with the case. The earbuds are also IP54-rated for dust and water resistance, making them suitable for workouts and outdoor activities.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE are available in black and gray. While pricing may vary, the Buds3 FE are positioned as a more affordable option compared to the flagship Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. In India, the Galaxy Buds3 FE are priced at Rs 12,999, with launch offers including benefits worth Rs 4,000 with select Galaxy phones, a Rs 3,000 cashback or upgrade bonus and no-cost EMI options. In the US, the Galaxy Buds3 FE are priced at $149.99.
