Samsung Officially Announces New Galaxy Buds3 FE with Renewed Design and AI Brains Priced at $149
The newest and most affordable version of Samsung's wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds3 FE, is officially detailed by the company. This "Fan Edition" model introduces a massive redesign, incorporates powerful AI features, and includes Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in its offerings, all at a value-based price point.
A Complete Design Overhaul
The change most obvious in the new stem style "Blade Design" is the disappearance of the rounded feature in earlier Buds FE. It made the design much more towards the main Galaxy Buds 3 series as well as unlike their other mainstream croonings. The earbuds, designed for use during workouts or around travel, feature an IP54 rating against dust and splashes.
Core Audio and Call Performance
At the heart of audio experience will be a dynamic driver arrangement designed for rich sound, deep bass, and clean treble. Activating the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) will further reduce ambient noise, allowing a more immersive listening experience. For calls, Samsung highlights its Crystal Call Technology, which utilizes pre-trained AI to isolate the user's voice for clearer conversations even in a noisy environment.
Integration of AI in Galaxy
Samsung was adopting an AI-centric ecosystem, and the Buds3 FE is a part of that ecosystem. They feature Galaxy AI capabilities such as live voice crossing, possible through the Interpreter app, and use Google Gemini for contextually aware smart assistance directly in-ear.
Battery Life and Key Specs
The earbuds are considerate for prolonged use. One battery charge will let users listen up to 6 hours with ANC on (or 8.5 hours with it off). They're housed in a charging case, thus extending battery life up to 30 hours when ANC is off (or 24 hours with it on). Each earbud weighs a mere 5 grams, making it easy and comfortable to wear for long cycles.
