Samsung announced the Galaxy Buds3 FE , an addition to its Buds lineup that brings Galaxy AI features, a larger speaker and an iconic blade design to a lower price point. Samsung says the Buds3 FE aim to expand premium audio and smart assistant capabilities to more Galaxy users.
Priced from $149.99, the Buds3 FE package combines enhanced active noise cancellation (ANC) and voice-focused AI features — positioning the earbuds as an entry point into Samsung’s broader Galaxy AI ecosystem.
The Galaxy Buds3 FE use what Samsung calls a blade design, with a matte dual-tone finish and semi-transparent accents. Samsung says the earbuds have a larger speaker that delivers stronger bass and clearer treble, while enhanced ANC reduces ambient noise for a more immersive listening experience.
Samsung highlights several Galaxy AI integrations for on-device convenience. The Buds3 FE support Crystal Clear Call, which the company says uses a pre-trained machine-learning model and an adjusted microphone position to isolate the user’s voice in noisy environments. AI-enabled features also include hands-free voice commands (e.g., “Hey Google”) and on-device access to tasks such as playlist control, agenda checks and translation when paired with the Galaxy AI Interpreter app.
Physical controls are simple: users can pinch the blade to select and swipe to adjust volume. The earbuds support easy pairing from the cradle and include Auto Switch, which detects active audio and transfers playback across Galaxy devices for seamless continuity. Samsung also includes Find My Earbuds and app-free control from any screen.
Samsung will sell the Galaxy Buds3 FE in the U.S. beginning Sept. 4, 2025 through Samsung.com, Samsung Experience Stores, carriers and national retailers. The earbuds start at $149.99 and ship in Black and Gray. Samsung is offering up to $30 off with a trade-in of any wired or wireless headset.
