If past timing is any indication, Samsung is likely to hold its next Unpacked event in late February. However, we’re not expecting the company to shake up its earbuds lineup until the summer — the winter keynote is typically reserved for smartphone announcements — which makes today’s discount on the Galaxy Buds FE far more attractive. Right now, you can pick up the budget earbuds at Amazon and Walmart for $69.99 ($30 off), which is the best price we’ve seen since August.
The entry-level Galaxy Buds 3 remain a solid pair of wireless earbuds, even if they are getting somewhat long in the tooth (they launched in the back half of 2023). They don’t include wireless charging or proper multipoint support, though, for the money, they deliver good sound, solid noise cancellation, and up to six hours of playback with ANC on or 8 hours with it off. They also support both a game mode for reduced latency and a transparency mode, the latter of which is helpful for piping in the sound of traffic and other ambient noise.
Fit is probably where the Buds FE excel most, though. Unlike the pricier Galaxy Buds 3 and newer Buds 3 FE, Samsung’s last-gen earbuds sport a wing tip design reminiscent of the Galaxy Buds Plus, allowing for a more comfortable, secure fit once you settle on the appropriate set of ear / wing tips. What’s more, they’re also a little more foolproof to control than other modern earbuds, given that their flattened touchpad area makes it easier to pause, play, and skip tracks on the fly.
