Need another pair of earbuds but don't want to spend a lot of money check out the Samsung Buds FE. These are cheap to start with and then Samsung seems to always have some sort of trade in deal. AND these sound great with better than expected ANC! Did I tell you that they also very comfortable. Watch the video to see if these are right for you!
Got them for 45$ because a lot of those were included in a bundle when someone purchased new galaxy phone, so there is a lot of them on local online auction houses. For that price it's a steal.
Facebook marketplace is a good place to start and same for everyone (I guess?). I wrote "local online auctions" because every country has different platforms. I got mine on olx where you can see that quite a lot of them are sold for less than 200 zł (45$). I think gumtree and etsy are also worth a shot and known world-wide. I hope I helped :)
Will these work on Windows? I really adore this design of the earbuds and I was wondering if it can connect properly without a problem to PC devices, thanks in advance!
@@techgadgets100 Thanks! Just ordered mine today and they will arrive in just 2 days. What about the latency in Windows? I heard there are no Low Latency Mode in the Galaxy Wearable for Windows, despite being the heavier and more compatible machine for gaming.
You mean you already bought them for more? Most stores require you to return the ones you have and buy the new one, they won't refund the difference. Not sure what else you could do? If you meant something else, let me know.
I love the buds live!! After I gave up on Samsung coming out with a buds live 2, I seriously considered buying a spare pair! I hope my buds live never die!
@@techgadgets100 I bought three pair. I basically wear one bud 24hrs a day and swap back and forth. I'm on my last one the batteries gave out on the other two cases. They were very dependant on the customer having the right size ear and mine was apparently perfect.
I currently have the galaxy plus buds, but after 4 years one bud is slowly giving in. As I absolutely need wings, this was really helpfull. I think I found my next bud, thanks for the review 👌
Ah the Buds Plus, very fond memories, that's why I gave them honorable mention in the video. Great for you to keep them for 4 years! I hope you love the Buds FE for the next 4 years!
My Fiancé has the original buds from 2018 she just told me one bud specifically the right side is starting to give out die faster etc.. I just bought her these today hopefully she likes them!
Great review. Was very confused between Buds Fe and Buds 2 Pro. I have the budget for both. And after this review, Just paid for the Fe ( only for the wingtips comfort and superior ANC) and hoping it would not dissapoint me. If this doesnt suit me, I would exchange or buy the 2 pro in new year sales. Thanks a lot.
The Galaxy FE are only my second pair of ear buds, so my comparison is very limited. I agree with most of the review. But there are two cons I missed: - these buds won't even display the charging state of the buds or the case separately, if you don't agree to the excessive permissions for the Galaxy Wear app. - every couple of weeks the buds are clogged with ear wax. Eventually one has to pry off the litte metall grids below the rubber ear tips. Quite a cumbersome operation.
great review, how is the latency with a non-samsung phone? I have a pixel 8 and want to buy these for prime day, but I'm worried the latency will be bad as it can't use the Samsung encoder. Also, does anyone know if the audio difference due to the encoders is significantly worse on non-samsung androids?
What steered me towards the FE was it's noise handling during calls. On the rtings site the FE are at the top and it's so surprising to see how well they allow your voice through and block out other sounds. The buds pro and pro 2 in comparison are near bottom of the list when it comes to noise handling with the Bose qc ultra dead last 😕
I love that site, found it originally when looking for TVs. I actually felt that the buds FE was better than the pros, crazy. I have the Bose quiet comfort open and they are great and comfortable but mic not great, and the music gets lost quickly with background noise. Enjoy your new buds!
If you have an Android, I would recommend the Buds FE, they are great for the price. But they are completely different style than airpods. Make sure you like the Buds FE design.
never had really expensive headphones. But I wanted to get new ones for my S24+. Compared to my old 4i from Huawei, they are definitely a step up. For the 59€ i paid on Amazon you can't say anything bad. They are absolutely solid for the price
I agree! I think they can definitely complete with most expense ear buds. And a few cons I can overlook because of the price. A few features these lack $300+ ear buds also doing have. Glad you liked them!
So for blocking gym music, the buds fe does it ok, but not perfectly. Of course it depends on the gym music volume and what you are listening to, but I could usually block out their music with my volume at 50 to 60% with ANC on. But some of the gym music will bleed through if I listen for it, but it is not disturbing. ANC is better for the constant engine rumble.
The Galaxy Fe manager app requires some ridiculous permissions. Calendar, location, Call log, Text log, notification log, etc. For a pair of earbuds. No thanks.
It is a lot, but this is mostly so that it can read your texts and give you reminders. You should be able to disable them but you will lose functionality. Also Bixby won't work dirt most things without those permissions.
thank you for this video! Just got them after watching it to go with my new samsung s24, my original airpod were long overdue for a change haha. and they were on special, so winwin.
Wowwww GREAT VIDEO. I had no idea that in the app the setting was set to "ambient noise" and i was happy but wished they were more noise cancelling and without watching your video i would have never know i had that setting "off". I was watching your video in a public location while wearing my earbuds and hit "noise canceling" and it was as if i hit "silence those around me😂" ... I kinda let out a big "wowwwww" and everyone around me looked at me like I was cray cray 😂 thanks for your awesome video!
Hey brother. I bought the FE's last week. I noticed I'm getting zero pick up from the buds mic, no matter if its a call or a recording its still using the phone's mic and not the earbud's mic. Any thoughts? Ive reset the buds from galaxy wearables app, Ive repeaired them through Bluetooth , nothing has fixed the issue.
If you already did a factory reset and a repairing, I think it might be a hardware issue. I would contact Samsung. I cant think of any settings to change to keep audio working but mics off.
Apple doesnt allow Samsung to list its wearable App on IOS platform. My cousing works in apple headqarter. He told me this. Every year, Samsung send request and review petition to list its audio app on IOS, but everytime, Apple rejects its request.
@@paul8065 I know. And the reason why this has not come out yet is that Samsung does not heavily endorse and depend on its Audio devices. Opposite to that Apple has seignificant proportion of apple users buying Airpods. So apple will never allow IOS to have a Samsung specific app in its store. For Samsung, they just want apple users to have the freedom, nothing else. But Apple being Egoistic not allowing them.
This video was for the buds FE, did you already try these? I think they sound as good as buds 2 pro and have the wings that make for a very stable fit. Plus they are cheaper. I have been into open fit ear buds lately. The soundcore c30i are cheap, if it fits they are very comfortable but sound quality not as good as these Samsungs. For more money (a lot more), I love the Bose open ultra open ear buds. Super comfortable, stable, sound great and do not go in ear canal. Videos for these hopefully coming soon! Let me know if that helps!
@@techgadgets100 yeah that's true. Price right now is even lower. returned 2 pro and bought this FE. still waiting for it to arrive. I use my buds plus all the time riding my bike and working out so its really important for me that its stays put. Thanks and very nice video!
@@jayanthsrisai6463 I think both are a great value, but if you want me to help make the decision easier, get the Oneplus buds3 if you have a oneplus phone, get the Buds FE if you have a Samsung- get better integration and features. They are also very different designs/ form factor, I like the Buds FE wing design. Hope that helps.
I saw a lot of reviews for the past 4 days about Fe and 2 pro. Finally, a review worth of the time and helped me to decide the buds ( Fe for me now). This channel is underrated. Gonna subscribe and share your channel to my whatsapp group. You are a gem. Thanks for all the hardwork you do for our community. A true Gem.

I also think they sound great, way better than I expected for their price! For me, they were also very comfortable. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic review. Refreshing change from the usual drab bull.
Thank you! 😊
Will these work on Windows? I really adore this design of the earbuds and I was wondering if it can connect properly without a problem to PC devices, thanks in advance!
Yes, but you should pair it to phone first to get software updates and set your preferences. No way to do this if you only pair to windows.

@@FalvinBoks there is a gaming mode in the labs section of the gear app, can't really qualify how well it works, sorry.

As of now, these will only work with Samsung phones. They recently just came out Google find devices, I recommend looking into those.
I'm using them on a Pixel 8 and I don't notice a latency. I'm not a gamer, though.
With almost same pricing deal, between Samsung buds fe & jabra elite 4 which one would you suggest for Just 02 aspects - best sound & comfort?
Sorry, I have not tested the elite 4.

I love to hear that!! 😊thank you! I try to edit out all the fluff. Please share the video to anyone who might be interested! thanks again ❤
@@techgadgets100 I just forwarded to 19 people 😅😂
Just ordered them for $43, wort it at that price considering I don't have a Samsung phone?
Definitely! But if you have iPhone you can't use the Samsung app. Will fully work with any android phone.
Are they better than SONY WF-C700NW for music and podcasts?
Sorry, I have not used those so can't compare for you.
Thanks for your review! Gonna buy them now
Awesome, enjoy!!
@@techgadgets100 Update: Awesome for workouts and in general music listening, good quality sound, horrible for phone calls
Sorry to hear that, I thought the Buds FE were not the best but good for call quality.
How are these if i get them for 63$ or should i buy airpods 2nd gen for 90$?I own a android
If you have an Android, I would recommend the Buds FE, they are great for the price. But they are completely different style than airpods. Make sure you like the Buds FE design.
yeah i like their design tq for your opinion

The funny thing is the buds fe in my country is cheaper the the huawei's
It works with Google just tried it
Best nails on youtube!
Thank you! I think 😀
Thank you for the very friendly and impartial introduction. I also have this headset. Although the sound quality is good, I think the volume is low.
Thanks for the comment. I can only tolerate a few buds at full volume, this was not one of them. 🙂
Has anyone got these and used them in a loud environment like a gym? I really need good noise cancellation...
Good review
So for blocking gym music, the buds fe does it ok, but not perfectly. Of course it depends on the gym music volume and what you are listening to, but I could usually block out their music with my volume at 50 to 60% with ANC on.

@@Lostintimevelocity Yes, but they are also 3x the price. The Buds FE have not industry leading but respectable ANC.

No, disabling the permissions made the app unusable. Because of this I probably won't buy any other Samsung accessories.
Great . Just curious, why is the extra wingtips in the box (rounded) looks different than what is attached (somewhat pointed at one end)
Just different sized tips. The small wingtip is basically a band. The others have a tip.
Thank you
