I have been testing Samsung’s new $99 Galaxy Buds FE for the past 2 weeks and I have to say, these could have easily disrupted the entire earbuds market and become my most recommended earbuds of 2023… but there are three choices that hold them back from that legendary potential. Instead, these are just solid. An easy recommendation and a purchase you won’t regret. Let’s get into it.

ADDITIONAL VIDEO NOTES:

So after my hands-on time, I was not allowed to try these earbuds

Fit/comfort after working out

MIC TEST
Should I make another video comparing these to the other Galaxy Buds in the lineup?

Sound Quality
I just reviewed the Sony SM5’s, Bose Ultras, and Jabra Elite 10s. All of which are 3-4x more expensive than this so I need to keep that in mind when discussing the audio quality

There are no blatant issues I see with the sound quality for this price. It makes sense and I think most people would enjoy these

To describe them in more detail, however,
Warm basslines in Bob Don by Goose
A bit bloated with mid bass making vocals slightly less pronounced
This leads to weak instrument separation
Lacks details in the snares


Overall pretty fun, lively with boosted bass and although they lack detail, I think they make up for that with better ANC and mics than I would expect at this price


ANC
Surprisingly good for this price!

TRANSPARENCY

WHEN YOU CONNECT:
Fit check in app
Tap and hold each earbud to enter pairing mode (I like that there is no button required)

More affordable - $100, but with the link below, you can get $25 for trading in any wired or wireless earbuds or headphones. There is also a 10% student discount so these could really be $68

PROs
Long battery life (6/21 hr battery 8.5/30 w/o ANC)
Wing tip is back
Pretty impressive ANC
Lots of cool software like left behind alerts, and lost mode
Gaming mode



CONs
1) No wireless charging!!
Missing some of the features I expected like double tap ear edge, voice detect, etc
2) No real multipoint connectivity
Only IPX2
Can’t really do much with these if you have an iphone
3) Can you not double tap to skip?


If samsung wanted to blow the market up, they just needed to add a few features to these. It probably would have been easy. Instead, they are making a comfortable budget friendly option that intentionally omits some features to encourage sales of the more premium models in the lineup. With that said, these are still a solid option for most people!
