Samsung Introduces Galaxy Buds3 FE With Iconic Design, Enhanced Sound, and Galaxy AI Integration

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the launch of Galaxy Buds3 FE, the newest addition to the Galaxy Buds lineup. As part of Samsung’s mission to expand its audio innovation to more people, Galaxy Buds3 FE are designed to deliver premium features at an accessible price. Buds3 FE bring more users into the Galaxy ecosystem with an iconic Blade design, upgraded audio performance, and Galaxy AI¹ capabilities.

Galaxy Buds3 FE are designed to offer an enhanced audio experience. Impactful enhancements in the Galaxy Buds lineup build off innovations in core features including Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), call quality, battery life, comfort and more to allow users the freedom to listen where they want, when they want and how they want.

Building on Samsung’s understanding of sound as the most essential part of the user experience, Galaxy Buds3 FE were made for the quiet moments on a crowded train, a call on a windy street and the playlist that powers the walk home. With a larger speaker², Buds3 FE deliver rich, powerful sound with deep bass and clear treble.³ Enhanced ANC⁴ reduces ambient noise, creating a more immersive listening experience. Crystal Clear Call technology uses an advanced pre-trained machine learning model to isolate your voice, ensuring conversations remain clear even in noisy environments. The call experience is also improved by the adjusted microphone position, which is optimized for voice pickup with microphones facing towards the user’s mouth.

Ease of use is central to the Galaxy Buds3 FE design with intuitive controls that facilitate effortless interactions. Users can simply pinch the Blade to make selections or swipe for volume control. It’s also easier to connect via the pairing button on the cradle for transitions between Galaxy devices.⁵ With Auto Switch, Galaxy Buds3 FE actively detect audio activity and transfer the connection seamlessly for continuous listening across all of your Galaxy devices.⁶

Additionally, AI features and the Buds3 FE design ensure that queuing up the next playlist or translating a conversation from one language to another is always just a word or long press away. When phrases like “Hey Google” are used, Buds3 FE can listen, understand, and respond without a screen or hands - just the user’s voice⁷. The experience is fast, natural, and conversational, designed to feel more like talking to a friend than using a device. Users can also check their daily agenda or email without removing their phone from their pocket or bag. For translation⁸, they can use Buds3 FE with the Galaxy AI Interpreter⁹ app on their smartphone to listen to a lecture in a foreign language or have a conversation with someone in another language.

The Galaxy Buds3 FE Blade Design represents the Galaxy lineup’s distinct visual identity. With a matte dual-tone finish and semi-transparent accents, it reflects a balance of simplicity and expressive detail for a modern but playful aesthetic.

Galaxy Buds3 FE mark a new chapter in expanding the Galaxy Experience. Designed for users who want reliable performance, smart features, and a stylish design at a great value, Galaxy Buds3 FE make it easier than ever to join the Galaxy ecosystem. The earbuds also offer seamless integration with Galaxy devices, including quick access from system settings and app-free control from any screen.¹⁰

Galaxy Buds3 FE will be progressively available from Sept. 5.
