Your review is spot on. I own Buds Live, Buds 2, Bose, and Buds Fe... I always grab my Buds Fe... They fit better, are more comfortable, and the sound is just as good as all the others if you ask me, but I am not an audio person. I mainly listen to videos and podcasts, more so than music. It's just not that big of a difference for me when it comes to sound for the things I use my earbuds for... I prefer practically over features. This is the first pair of earbuds I have ever owned that doesn't get uncomfortable after wearing several hours. I can actually fall asleep with these in my ears and wake up them with my ears instead of trying to find them in my bed... I think the noise cancelation is better than any of my other earbuds. Get them for free with the Samsung Ultra 24 order instead of the Samsung Pro version. Great review as always!.. Oh yeah, about the software features, I have never once used any of those features with any of my higher-end earbuds. Who has time to worry about all that? As long as our devices work correctly, sound good, and have a good user experience, that is what matters. Unless of course, someone is one of the rare people who have way too much time on their hands. 🤷♀️
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Even if their opinion is just flat out wrong. Time is a luxury I hope 1 day I will be able to enjoy.

I just got the FE and for the price over $100 cheaper they are hands down my new favorite. And they actually stay in my ear, the Buds Pro2 always fall out. And I bought the comply foam tips for my buds FE and they almost sound as good as the Pro2.
I am looking into a new set of buds after I lost my Airpods of 4 years. One thing I love about the Airpods, they don't talk to you when you first put them in. I have to ask, do the FEs greet you with some voice or is it a simple chime to say they connected?
That was an excellent review. You gave viewers such a detailed, but clearly understandable explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of each bud that their only difficulty will be in deciding which of the features is most important to them. I think I've made my choice, so, thank you very much.
still not understanding why they even got rid of those, they were unique looking and comfortable and the fans loved them, the bean design is just so much worse all around
Yeah, the Buds & Buds+ might not have the higher battery life & sound quality, but gadamn do they fit comfortably and stay in. FE & FE+ are a nice callback. I definitely dig the flat touch area.
Thank you! I was debating by FE and Pro2. Initially i was leaned towards pro2 just for the (supposingly) superior sound but your video changed ny mind lol going for FE! Thanks
@@suguha5908 I can answer why I'm leaning toward the FE. The FE is less than half the price, offers a remarkable upgrade over the galaxy bud+ (the headphones I'm coming from which fit very well for me) in the form of better sound, ANC, a more reliable mic, and better holding power. I don't believe the pro 2s are genuinely worth more than double the price when I'll probably feel like I'm in a new era of sound just getting the FEs. Now in gonna try and listen to both and see if the difference in audio quality closes the gap but I'd rather dump $100 dollars for earbuds and get 200% of my current experience than spend $230 for 220% of my current audio enjoyment.
What a great review. I bought the Buds2 earlier this year and used them mostly for the gym, but without the wing tip, they just fell out of my ears over and over again while working out. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend as much as what the Buds2 Pro cost, and certainly dont need all the extras as far as software, so having come across the Buds FE, it's nice to see they will serve for the purpose I need them for. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You've got a new subscriber out of me!
I’m impressed on how this guy is able to help me making a choice, many videos just feel like, oh this one’s good, but not better, there is a cheaper and bla bla bla, i don’t really feel like i’m close to making a choice. Otherwise, by watching these i understood really well the pros and cons of each device, and got a real answer at the end. Simple, the fe are overall best, but if you got more to spend and want some fancy features you may get the pro ones.
I have the Buds2 Pro & I just got my Buds FE today. The Buds FE fit in my ear SOOOO much better & more comfortably. Battery life on my Buds2 Pro were pretty awful, even from the start. I had them replaced & still the same thing. Sound is nearly identical to me. Very happy with the Buds FE.
Finally! Someone with good review i like it a lot that you say your opinion on buds not like everyone say "what do you think" and then i dont know what to pick, perfect and clean review🎉 thank you😊
I've watched 3 different comparison videos on this topic and yours was by far the BEST. I love your attention to detail, and I don't get lost/lose track of what product you're talking about. Nice, detailed, systematic review. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I bought myself a high end set of over the ear headphones from Bowers and Wilkins. Since that purchase, I've found many audio products lacking, including the original Galaxy Buds Pro. I believe that this is due to many audio products lacking support for high resolution sound. The Buds 2 Pro have no such deficiency. Their sound is simply excellent. If you own a Samsung phone and you value high quality audio, then look no further than the Buds 2 Pro!
I found this to be true for me to I also own a few pairs on wired high end headphones from hifi man sennheiser etc. As well as b and o ex which are simply the best but the buds 2 pro are great for the price especially since you can get them for less now.
Had the Buds 2 and upgraded to the Pro last year. Love the grippy design...helps with it not slipping out of your fingers. Lots of minor premium features that only enthusiasts will use but it's why they're the flagship set. But for regular people that aren't audiophiles, the cheaper ones are just fine and you'll never even notice the differences
The ANC from Buds 2 Pro is much more better then anc of buds 2 and I think that it is one of the most important things for regular people when is looking for buy a earbud. I have Buds2 and Buds2 Pro and I recomend to everyone pay a little more and buy a Buds2 Pro. I have these two Buds.
I already have the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and love them. Was considering changing it the Galaxy Buds FE but after seeing this video and hearing your findings then I am sticking with my Buds3 Pro’s purely because of the software features. Have just ‘subscribed’ and look forward to hearing more from you about Samsung products
I'm wearing my Buds2 and I've been listening to them all night at Work and: THE BASS is deep and rich down to 15Hz, also I do listen to Bass Music with them.
Thanks for you videos! I got a set of the Buds Fe based on your intial impressions video. I already have the pros and pros2. These fe's are the perfect headphones for the gym and activities. So comfy and they stay put. Tuning is bass heavy which is perfect for the gym. Just enough noise cancelling. The slightly duller mids and highs are noticable but then again there's no ear fatigue.
Thanks so much 🙏 the only downside to Buds FE is no wireless charging. But it's minor in the grand scheme of things, you can still charge them at least!
Would be great if you recorded the buds' microphone in a noisy environment to have that comparison. Personally, I don't usually use earbuds at home. Regardless, I'll go with FE to have that fit, my ears are large, and my current fin-based buds are perfect for me. Thanks for the vid
I never write comments, but i feel like i have to. I thought about buying the Pro Version but decided to get the fe buds because of the video . They. Are. Awesome . The fit ,the sounds, the Look. I love them. 10/10 Thanks alot
I've got Buds2 Pro to my S22 Ultra and use them since then. I've got Buds FE to s24 Ultra and compering them FE's are a piece of crap. The Buds 2 Pro sound is deeper, the bass is very nice. I sold the FE's and I don't regret using Pro 2
Yeah but the call quality on the FE in a noisy environment is way better than the 2 Pro which isn't all that better than it's predecessor. Every reviewer harps about sound quality but ignores call quality
I own all three. I keep coming back to Samsung because they just keep nailing it everytime. Every firmware update their buds just get better and better. The FE are awesome but limited obviously, if they just added wireless charging they wouldve been perfect. Also surprisingly the 6.5mm drivers somehow have more bass then my JBL Live Pro 2 and they also have clearer highs. So for the price point and the features they do have, they basically outperform my Live Pro 2 in every aspect.
@AlmightyOne24 so with my new phone this allows the Buds FE to utilize Samsungs scalable codec. This makes the buds FE actually sound really good and close to the buds pro 2
As a buds plus user i love the wingtip design of the FEs but that double tap edge for volume control is a must for me. Also in my country the 2 pros cost similar if not less The FEs somehow with bank discounts. Will be mainly using this for Gym. Hopefully it fits well in my ear.
As someome with small ears, the galaxy buds 2 have been the most comfortable and conveninet earbuds i have ever used, while the galaxy buds live have been the worst i have ever owned. The original galaxy buds were not bad, but after a long period of usage my ear did hurt a little because of the wingtip. Kind of sucks to have small ears when it comes to buying earbuds not gonna lie.
Hey man, first time viewer on your channel here. Great vid! I recently did a long term review of the Buds 2 Pro and was very curious about the new FE buds that go back to old designs, your comparison was very extensive. IMO a bit disappointing they didn't use wireless charging in the case. Subbed!
You are the first one who comapre buds 2pro talk about 360° audio recoding... Ohters neglect it. This is very useful when you capture video and rewatch later and hear 360 audio means you relive the movement
I personally love my buds 2. Got them over the pros because I heard the pros have a worse fit then the smaller buds 2. I am also use to wearing huge ear buds that stick pretty long out or that are just big and noticeable. I wanted a set of smaller buds that sounded great and that are really not noticeable while I am at work and they work and fir great. Yes fe are a better value but the buds 2 are just a better ear bud. BTW they where 99 dollars last holiday season when I got them, and you bet they will be this year. Just get the buds 2 over the fes lol
@@gudlutripathy3283If you don't mind, can you tell me how are the comparisons and differences between the two? I know the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are better. But how far better? I've been tempted to buy Liberty 4 NC because of their bang for the buck.
@@gudlutripathy3283which one you do you like more? Can you please provide a detailed comparison? Like sound quality, comfort, call quality and overall experience?
I had the buds live that I got given for free then traded them in for the buds 2pro and it's been great. Love the matte finish of the buds and inside but preferably none matte finish on the outside. Samsung with it's buds have been solid. Black and white colours timeless but would love to see more colour options.
I'd love to but unfortunately I don't own a pair of Buds Live's. One thing I'll say is the lives don't really create a seal nor have good ANC (open ANC isn't real ANC lol)
so, for someone that lost their buds 2 but still has the case, the buds fe are just the obvious choice, since I can use the buds 2 case if I want the wireless charging
thanks for comparing the cases too. Im already sold on the FE from before, since I love the wingtips of my OG Buds. I would sacrifice some high end features for the wingtips.
Thank you for this video. I bought the Buds Pro 2 but returned them after a few hours. I just could not get a good fit despite trying all the different tips. The better SQ was wasted due to the poor fit. I've now bought the Fe based on your video. I'm coming from the Buds+ which fit me perfectly so I'm hoping these will do so too.
Loved this review...I have the both the 2 and the 2 pro. I use the pros right now, of course, with the 2's as a back up in case I lose them or whatever...anyway I have the FE's ordered and on the way. Got em cause I KNEW the wing tip design would fit better for me like the past model with that design. My only question is do the FE's have the "read text out loud" feature in them cause I really like that with my Pro's. 🤔
Fit is top priority for me, so I went with Buds FE. (Battery life is actually even higher priority, but all 3 will last just fine through a full workday.)
@FalconStrikeGames Sure! I'm happy with my choice. They fit well enough that I some times forget I have one in. I really like the flatter shape of the touch area. I get a lot fewer accidental touches. I miss the wireless charging sometimes, but not often. The one real downside is that the pass-through sound only works when wearing both buds. The batteries last a full work shift. And, of course, the price was great.
Thank you for this video. I lost my buds+ and was going to upgrade. From your video i decided to just replace my buds+ with a new pair of buds+. I use them all the time outside and on my bike so i want the wingtips and i charge everything wirelessly.
i wish they never got rid of the wing. the galaxy buds+ had the best fit out of all the buds they released i wish the buds 2 pro had the design of the fe they would be perfect. currently using the beats fit pro because of their wing tip design and the clicky buttons
I agree. I've been very annoyed by the fact that the newer versions have no wings. They all just fall out of my ears. I could go skydiving with my buds+ and I bet they won't come out 😂
I'm an old guy with defective hearing. My Buds 2 have adjustable ambient hearing enhancement for both volume & clarity. 1.Perfect for TV listening, without high volume, freaking out other family viewers. 2. Great for picking out a conversation, in a crowded room. Like the FE for the wingtips, but are the ambient noise controls, exactly the same as the Galaxy 2 buds? Thanks great video
I am interested in Galaxy buds for exactly the same reason - helping to understand people in a group. But no reviewer cares about these features. What a pity.
Awesome video. thanks for all the info. Getting a S24 and a set of FE are free with the phone so i wanted to know if I should retire my old buds and now I know I can. Thanks so much again
There is one thing I wish you had touched on with these reviews and that is how comfortable they are to wear if you are lying in bed. I want to be able to lay with my ear pressed into the pillow and not have the earbud be pushed deep into my ear canal, which can only be achieved if there is not too much of a "bulge" coming out of the ear for the pillow to press against. I assume the Galaxy Buds FE would be best suited for this since it has the flat portion which look to be a lower profile outside of the ear. A pillow test would be appreciated in future reviews. Thank you!
I can actually answer that for you here! My wife used the Buds2 and Buds2 Pro for sleeping and the Buds2 were more comfortable of the 2. The Buds FE though, as you suspected, are by far the best option. Not only are they less likely to fall out during the night because of the wing tips, but they also will be better when lying on your side due to the flat edge.
I have used Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro, and both of them keep falling off from my earlobes. I've purchased the new Samsung Galaxy Buds fe, and it just fitted perfectly on my earlobes. This is the best for me.
How's the loudness on that guys? What's the volume level u guys usually listen at? I had oppo Air 5 pro and 3/15 was enough for me, but with the 2 pros i am at 6/15. Idk whether it's normal or mine's faulty, cause I expected a bit more loudness as these are Samsung's premium.
Great review, but no mention on battery life, from what I understand the Buds 2 offer the longest and the FE the shortest, For a lot of people this is veryt important
I wanted a great pair of earbuds that had rather good sound quality, decent-great ANC, and connectivity. I use a Samsung S24 Ultra and its just instant connect as soon as i opened the case, was perfect. I had the Buds FE before and I would say the FE's are great with ANC those wingtips are amazing but the sound quality to me it was rather lacking, sounded average to me personally, best way to say it was rather flat sounding even at max volume. I had a chance to try the Sony WF-1000MX5 and sound quality was so much better but for me the ANC to me personally was rather trash compared to the Samsung Buds FE. So i just ordered Buds 2 Pro to see how they compare.
Thanks for making this video! I'm still using a Galaxy Buds+ and was thinking about upgrading just for the sake of upgrading. These buds have been in use for the past couple of years and work amazingly still. But now that I've seen this I think I'll keep using them until they stop working. I like the wingtip design but just as importantly I like being able to wirelessly charge my buds overnight.
I have the buds fe and they're just like my Buds plus. Active noise cancelling- NOT. Fit for the FE , I had to put on the larger ear pieces. Looks Fe and Buds+ - I don't see any other than FE can take the wing off. Worth 99.99, not a chance. I'm listening to this on my Buds+, can barely tell any difference with the FE. I was miffed after trying the FE because the noise cancellation just is bad, none existant, but I chose not to return them.
Buds fe has 1 speaker.... and buds + has 2 way speaker, so its worse sound quality, just bass? Thats all i hear, so its not worth it. Buds + is still alive after 3 years...
@@privxete4089 when one dies I use other. And they have different use cases. But honestly I, I, I, im just crying out out for helppp, I think I got earbud addiction 🥺
The lack of wireless charging on the FE is a deal breaker for me. My Buds 2 Pro came with a wireless charger that I dont want to stop using. This seems like a baffling design choice.
I was leaning towards Buds FE because of the fit and the price but got buds 2 pro at a steal price on sale ($90). Whereas I was getting the Buds FE for $75. Everything is great about the Buds 2 pro except the fit.
I am currently using the G Buds2. Thinking about upgrading to the G Buds 2 Pro, however the G Buds FE with its lower price is something to consider. Good comparison Review Tech With Benefits.
Owned both the buds2 and buds2 pro. A huge downside for the pros was for sleeping. I like to listen to ambient music to fall asleep and the buds2 were far more comfortable. The sharp angle of the pros will stab into your ear if you place any weight on them. So if you sleep with your earbuds, or listen while resting your ear on your hand you will definitely not be comfortable for very long.
I'm using the galaxy buds+ since 3-4 years now and they still work perfectly. Looking for a change though. Now my most used feature by far is actually the volume control by double tapping the left (down) or right (up) ear. This so handy for quickly changing volume even if you wear a hoody for example. Not sure if I missed it, but do the Buds FE have that feature too? How can you control volume with those?
I think the market has made the decision for me, I lost my OG buds in the past weekend and want an update, the FE looked great but then I found brand new Buds2 Pro going for less at £86 and I think it's a no brainer.
I just got the FE in an offer with a new phone, I didn't realise they don't support wireless charging until I opened the box. Absolutely bizarre, considering that means that you can't power share from your phone to your buds. I LOVE the wingtip though.
Hey Daniel, I have all 3 also. I mainly use the the Buds2 Pro for flights for the brilliant ANC. My daily drivers are the Buds Live as they stay in the ear and allow external sound. Perfect for exercising or low noise areas. When I got the Buds FE and tried the fit, I didn't think I would be going back to the Buds2 Pro at all. The sound is good in the FE's, so very passible for daily use and flights with the wing tips. The only drawback being the lack of wireless charging. Oh, and I used to use the Buds2 a bit, but I think the FE's might take over.
Which one would u say is better between the pro and fe? I can get either of them for the same price but idk which one to get. Fe sounds appealing cuz of the wing tips for when i walk home on the daily and the noise cancelling being better(?). Whilst the pros have better audio and better software and the 360 degree microphone
@@conglomerate127 The Pro are a better set for pretty much everything except the fit (all the extra features, including the wireless charging). The ANC is about the same, but with the wing tips you are pretty much guaranteed that the FE won't fall out. For me (only my opinion), I'd probably use the FE when walking, but stick to the Pro on a flight. I haven't done a straight FE vs Pro ANC comparison, but the FE ANC was great when I tried it. I vacuumed my car with them on and barely heard the vacuum while listening to a Podcast. Last time I used the Pro to do the same, the ANC was similar, but they moved in my ears a bit while moving my head around a lot. I guess it just depends on your use case...
@@conglomerate127 I did a test earlier on the ANC and sound quality. Buds2 Pro are definitely better, sound quality is great and the ANC is also. The fit really is the only thing that the FE would do better with the wingtips.
Great video man..i found out that i was wearing my buds fe wrong, i.e., the wing tips underneath the lower crus of antihelix, and it was painful. I was about to return them but now got the trick. Thanx✌🏽
so just a couple days ago my galaxy buds pro started giving me a problem ..after 2 yrs of use .low volume in the left bud...apparently other ppl online say the same ...I was wanting to go pro again ...bt the fe def seem the better buy on substance ...
Am I just crazy or does the FE handle wind noise better with the ANC? The ANC itself is stronger on the Pro but if I am not just smoking crack then the ANC on the FE is more useful as soon as you step outside.
I have just recently received the FE buds, love the overall sound quality and the fit. My 9nly problem is that I have an iPhone 13 and I downloaded the Samsung buds app, but I can’t get it to recognise it, so I can’t go into the settings and change anything. Hopefully either Samsung or apple will come up with a solution for this minor issue. I exchanged points for them, and from what I’ve seen of the price, I got a real bargain. My points dollar value wouldn’t have been enough, probably only would have given me about 75% of the money. It looked like it was a special item that was limited, so they’ve probably stopped that particular item for that price, so I’m very happy with them. Hopefully I’ll work out how to get them to work with my iPhone, or either of the companies will bring out an update to fix my app issues. Good video by the way, shows that for such a reasonable priced set of buds, they are actually very good.
@@Blu3_777 , they were sent by Harvey Norman and I got them using my flybuy points.ive looked over them and the numbers and serial numbers match. It might be that because I have an iPhone and not a Samsung phone that there’s an incompatibility.
On Samsungs website. It says the galaxy buds iOS app isn't supported. You can only use Bluetooth with them. Which is strange why have an app for iOS but doesn't work
Great video, thank you so much for your content! QUICK QUESTION: I have the Buds 2, will upgrading to buds 2 PRO be a better noice cancellation / microphone combo? I live in a noisy place and the Buds 2 is amazing, wondering if I should upgrade to the Pro version
Would the FE be a big sound improvement over the old Buds plus? I have the Galaxy buds pro but they just don't fit. And they hurt my ears trying to smash them in. They do sound good though.

I believe that this is due to many audio products lacking support for high resolution sound. The Buds 2 Pro have no such deficiency. Their sound is simply excellent. If you own a Samsung phone and you value high quality audio, then look no further than the Buds 2 Pro!
I found this to be true for me to I also own a few pairs on wired high end headphones from hifi man sennheiser etc. As well as b and o ex which are simply the best but the buds 2 pro are great for the price especially since you can get them for less now.
Same here
honestly - I think that anybody trying to enjoy high res sound with earbuds are kidding themselves.
The Galaxy Buds has had impressive sound quality since the original buds back in 2019
Even before the buds when samsung was doing the Gear IconX's, the sound was still better than the competition at the time.
Had the Buds 2 and upgraded to the Pro last year. Love the grippy design...helps with it not slipping out of your fingers. Lots of minor premium features that only enthusiasts will use but it's why they're the flagship set. But for regular people that aren't audiophiles, the cheaper ones are just fine and you'll never even notice the differences
The ANC from Buds 2 Pro is much more better then anc of buds 2 and I think that it is one of the most important things for regular people when is looking for buy a earbud. I have Buds2 and Buds2 Pro and I recomend to everyone pay a little more and buy a Buds2 Pro. I have these two Buds.
@@MTulio815is there sound difference cuz i already have buds 2 and planning to upgrade and what about bass ?
I already have the Galaxy Buds2 Pro and love them. Was considering changing it the Galaxy Buds FE but after seeing this video and hearing your findings then I am sticking with my Buds3 Pro’s purely because of the software features.
Have just ‘subscribed’ and look forward to hearing more from you about Samsung products
Sh!t where did you get the "buds3 Pro" lol
Yoo wtf where did you buy the buds 3 are you living in 2024?
I'm wearing my Buds2 and I've been listening to them all night at Work and: THE BASS is deep and rich down to 15Hz, also I do listen to Bass Music with them.
Thanks for you videos! I got a set of the Buds Fe based on your intial impressions video. I already have the pros and pros2.
These fe's are the perfect headphones for the gym and activities. So comfy and they stay put. Tuning is bass heavy which is perfect for the gym. Just enough noise cancelling. The slightly duller mids and highs are noticable but then again there's no ear fatigue.
Thanks so much 🙏 the only downside to Buds FE is no wireless charging. But it's minor in the grand scheme of things, you can still charge them at least!
Better than pro 2?
What about the water resistance of the FE's? Is it enough when you sweat like a pig during workout and live in a city where it's often raining?
I believe the FE has lower IPX rating which you need to consider for working out because of the sweat and all.
Love your VS, love the TV vs Soundbar comparison. I went with the FE too with price/value.
I wish Samsung would put wing tips on their entire lineup. My only concern about the FE is the ipx2
I am impressed with the clarity of this presentation!
Excellent review..Looking to buy my first pair..I'm going to buy the FE based on your review..thanks 👍🏾
Would be great if you recorded the buds' microphone in a noisy environment to have that comparison. Personally, I don't usually use earbuds at home.
Regardless, I'll go with FE to have that fit, my ears are large, and my current fin-based buds are perfect for me. Thanks for the vid
I never write comments, but i feel like i have to. I thought about buying the Pro Version but decided to get the fe buds because of the video .
They. Are. Awesome .
The fit ,the sounds, the Look. I love them. 10/10
Thanks alot
So glad you love them! That's why I put these together! Thank you for breaking the no comment rule to let me know. A great comment to wake up too 🙏
FE or 2 pro is a very hard desicion. Thanks for the review!
Which one did you choose?
I planning to buy both. I always like to have back up headsets
I've got Buds2 Pro to my S22 Ultra and use them since then. I've got Buds FE to s24 Ultra and compering them FE's are a piece of crap.
The Buds 2 Pro sound is deeper, the bass is very nice. I sold the FE's and I don't regret using Pro 2
Yeah but the call quality on the FE in a noisy environment is way better than the 2 Pro which isn't all that better than it's predecessor. Every reviewer harps about sound quality but ignores call quality
The sound bar is the noticeable difference between the earbuds. Thanks that says it perfectly to make a decision about what is going in my ears! 🕺
I own all three. I keep coming back to Samsung because they just keep nailing it everytime. Every firmware update their buds just get better and better. The FE are awesome but limited obviously, if they just added wireless charging they wouldve been perfect. Also surprisingly the 6.5mm drivers somehow have more bass then my JBL Live Pro 2 and they also have clearer highs. So for the price point and the features they do have, they basically outperform my Live Pro 2 in every aspect.
Is the difference in sound of FE vs Pro 2 noticeable?
@AlmightyOne24 so with my new phone this allows the Buds FE to utilize Samsungs scalable codec. This makes the buds FE actually sound really good and close to the buds pro 2
As a buds plus user i love the wingtip design of the FEs but that double tap edge for volume control is a must for me.
Also in my country the 2 pros cost similar if not less The FEs somehow with bank discounts. Will be mainly using this for Gym. Hopefully it fits well in my ear.
Did it fit in your ear? I am a buds plus user as well.
FE seem like a really good every day option, while the Pro 2 seem like a good option for certain lines of work.
Thanks this really helped.
As someome with small ears, the galaxy buds 2 have been the most comfortable and conveninet earbuds i have ever used, while the galaxy buds live have been the worst i have ever owned. The original galaxy buds were not bad, but after a long period of usage my ear did hurt a little because of the wingtip. Kind of sucks to have small ears when it comes to buying earbuds not gonna lie.
Hey man, first time viewer on your channel here. Great vid! I recently did a long term review of the Buds 2 Pro and was very curious about the new FE buds that go back to old designs, your comparison was very extensive. IMO a bit disappointing they didn't use wireless charging in the case. Subbed!
Thanks for the sub!
Your Samsung videos are really good. I really enjoy your video format
Thank you 🙏
Audio quality is my priority for earbuds I'd go with buds2 pro
You are the first one who comapre buds 2pro talk about 360° audio recoding...
Ohters neglect it.
This is very useful when you capture video and rewatch later and hear 360 audio means you relive the movement
I personally love my buds 2. Got them over the pros because I heard the pros have a worse fit then the smaller buds 2. I am also use to wearing huge ear buds that stick pretty long out or that are just big and noticeable. I wanted a set of smaller buds that sounded great and that are really not noticeable while I am at work and they work and fir great. Yes fe are a better value but the buds 2 are just a better ear bud. BTW they where 99 dollars last holiday season when I got them, and you bet they will be this year. Just get the buds 2 over the fes lol
Try soundcore liberty 4NC brother...l have both...buds 2pro as well as liberty 4NC...
@@gudlutripathy3283If you don't mind, can you tell me how are the comparisons and differences between the two? I know the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are better. But how far better? I've been tempted to buy Liberty 4 NC because of their bang for the buck.
@@gudlutripathy3283which one you do you like more? Can you please provide a detailed comparison? Like sound quality, comfort, call quality and overall experience?
Same, the Buds2 are the most comfortable fit for my ears of any earbuds I've ever used. They're great all rounders for everyday use.
@@praveenagarwal8159 ahhh buds 2. For my ears
I have the buds 2 and wear them all day, and are very comfortable and light and have a great sound .
I had the buds live that I got given for free then traded them in for the buds 2pro and it's been great. Love the matte finish of the buds and inside but preferably none matte finish on the outside.
Samsung with it's buds have been solid. Black and white colours timeless but would love to see more colour options.
Traded em in tf? I mean own the buds2 pro but I also own 3 pairs of buds live I would never trade em in. Trippnn smh
@@Blu3_777 Getting Buds 2 pro cheaper with a free wireless charger was a good deal.
Been testing Sony Wf-1000xm4, Sennheiser Momentum TW3, but i still like how the Buds2 Pro sounds and more comfort in my ears.
Which has better bass out the Three
@@Blu3_777 Sony Wf-1000xm4.
CMIIW
@@TomyJaya365 weird I thought my buds2 pro had better bass. Thanks for the response
Thanks Dan!! You should do a buds fe vs buds live video, for the wing tip fanatics considering upgrading (it's me, I'm the fanatic)
I'd love to but unfortunately I don't own a pair of Buds Live's. One thing I'll say is the lives don't really create a seal nor have good ANC (open ANC isn't real ANC lol)
so, for someone that lost their buds 2 but still has the case, the buds fe are just the obvious choice, since I can use the buds 2 case if I want the wireless charging
I've had the buds2 for a couple of years now, and I'm still happy with them.
thanks for comparing the cases too. Im already sold on the FE from before, since I love the wingtips of my OG Buds. I would sacrifice some high end features for the wingtips.
Thank you for this video. I bought the Buds Pro 2 but returned them after a few hours. I just could not get a good fit despite trying all the different tips. The better SQ was wasted due to the poor fit.
I've now bought the Fe based on your video. I'm coming from the Buds+ which fit me perfectly so I'm hoping these will do so too.
Loved this review...I have the both the 2 and the 2 pro. I use the pros right now, of course, with the 2's as a back up in case I lose them or whatever...anyway I have the FE's ordered and on the way. Got em cause I KNEW the wing tip design would fit better for me like the past model with that design. My only question is do the FE's have the "read text out loud" feature in them cause I really like that with my Pro's. 🤔
Can I buy the 2 off ya?
Fit is top priority for me, so I went with Buds FE.
(Battery life is actually even higher priority, but all 3 will last just fine through a full workday.)
I agree, it needs to be comfortable in order to actually use the product for its intended purpose. What has your experience been with the FE?
@FalconStrikeGames Sure! I'm happy with my choice. They fit well enough that I some times forget I have one in. I really like the flatter shape of the touch area. I get a lot fewer accidental touches. I miss the wireless charging sometimes, but not often. The one real downside is that the pass-through sound only works when wearing both buds. The batteries last a full work shift. And, of course, the price was great.
Just bought A34 5G and it has a galaxy buds FE freebie. Awesome deal!!
Thank you for this video. I lost my buds+ and was going to upgrade. From your video i decided to just replace my buds+ with a new pair of buds+. I use them all the time outside and on my bike so i want the wingtips and i charge everything wirelessly.
i wish they never got rid of the wing. the galaxy buds+ had the best fit out of all the buds they released i wish the buds 2 pro had the design of the fe they would be perfect. currently using the beats fit pro because of their wing tip design and the clicky buttons
I agree. I've been very annoyed by the fact that the newer versions have no wings. They all just fall out of my ears. I could go skydiving with my buds+ and I bet they won't come out 😂
I'm an old guy with defective hearing. My Buds 2 have adjustable ambient hearing enhancement for both volume & clarity. 1.Perfect for TV listening, without high volume, freaking out other family viewers.
2. Great for picking out a conversation, in a crowded room.
Like the FE for the wingtips, but are the ambient noise controls, exactly the same as the Galaxy 2 buds?
Thanks great video
I am interested in Galaxy buds for exactly the same reason - helping to understand people in a group.
But no reviewer cares about these features. What a pity.
Awesome video. thanks for all the info. Getting a S24 and a set of FE are free with the phone so i wanted to know if I should retire my old buds and now I know I can. Thanks so much again
There is one thing I wish you had touched on with these reviews and that is how comfortable they are to wear if you are lying in bed. I want to be able to lay with my ear pressed into the pillow and not have the earbud be pushed deep into my ear canal, which can only be achieved if there is not too much of a "bulge" coming out of the ear for the pillow to press against. I assume the Galaxy Buds FE would be best suited for this since it has the flat portion which look to be a lower profile outside of the ear. A pillow test would be appreciated in future reviews. Thank you!
I can actually answer that for you here!
My wife used the Buds2 and Buds2 Pro for sleeping and the Buds2 were more comfortable of the 2. The Buds FE though, as you suspected, are by far the best option. Not only are they less likely to fall out during the night because of the wing tips, but they also will be better when lying on your side due to the flat edge.
@@techwithbenefits thank you for the reply!
I have used Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro, and both of them keep falling off from my earlobes. I've purchased the new Samsung Galaxy Buds fe, and it just fitted perfectly on my earlobes. This is the best for me.
The buds 2 pro is available for me for $150 I definitely went for that offer one of my favorite tws. Can't go wrong for that price either
Yeah Amazon Australia has these for $150, just got them myself
I got the Buds2 pro for about $100, cheaper than the FE!
How's the loudness on that guys? What's the volume level u guys usually listen at? I had oppo Air 5 pro and 3/15 was enough for me, but with the 2 pros i am at 6/15. Idk whether it's normal or mine's faulty, cause I expected a bit more loudness as these are Samsung's premium.
I got buds2 pro from Amazon lndia in 70 percent discount...a stealer deal for me...
@@pj27got in 50 dollars.
Great review, but no mention on battery life, from what I understand the Buds 2 offer the longest and the FE the shortest, For a lot of people this is veryt important
I wanted a great pair of earbuds that had rather good sound quality, decent-great ANC, and connectivity. I use a Samsung S24 Ultra and its just instant connect as soon as i opened the case, was perfect. I had the Buds FE before and I would say the FE's are great with ANC those wingtips are amazing but the sound quality to me it was rather lacking, sounded average to me personally, best way to say it was rather flat sounding even at max volume. I had a chance to try the Sony WF-1000MX5 and sound quality was so much better but for me the ANC to me personally was rather trash compared to the Samsung Buds FE. So i just ordered Buds 2 Pro to see how they compare.
Update on your buds 2 pro? Can both the fe and 2pro charge wirelessly?
Thanks for making this video! I'm still using a Galaxy Buds+ and was thinking about upgrading just for the sake of upgrading. These buds have been in use for the past couple of years and work amazingly still.
But now that I've seen this I think I'll keep using them until they stop working. I like the wingtip design but just as importantly I like being able to wirelessly charge my buds overnight.
I have the buds fe and they're just like my Buds plus. Active noise cancelling- NOT. Fit for the FE , I had to put on the larger ear pieces. Looks Fe and Buds+ - I don't see any other than FE can take the wing off. Worth 99.99, not a chance. I'm listening to this on my Buds+, can barely tell any difference with the FE. I was miffed after trying the FE because the noise cancellation just is bad, none existant, but I chose not to return them.
Buds fe has 1 speaker.... and buds + has 2 way speaker, so its worse sound quality, just bass? Thats all i hear, so its not worth it. Buds + is still alive after 3 years...
What I own like atleast 10 pairs, idk how you can only own 1 tf.?!
@@Blu3_777 because whats the point of having 10 pairs
@@privxete4089 when one dies I use other. And they have different use cases.
But honestly I, I, I, im just crying out out for helppp, I think I got earbud addiction 🥺
Thanks for the awesome video - just bought the buds 2 pro (I know way too late) and they are amazing !
The lack of wireless charging on the FE is a deal breaker for me. My Buds 2 Pro came with a wireless charger that I dont want to stop using. This seems like a baffling design choice.
Maybe they had to cut some features to cut the price too. They're called FE and not PRO for a reason.
2 things that the Buds 3 Pro should steal from the FE are the Wing Tip and the TouchPad
I wonder if they'll be released in January 2024 or August 2024? 🤔
Yes!
I was leaning towards Buds FE because of the fit and the price but got buds 2 pro at a steal price on sale ($90). Whereas I was getting the Buds FE for $75.
Everything is great about the Buds 2 pro except the fit.
And imo proper fit is the number 1 thing I want in ear buds
Where at
If I got this right, Buds FE will stay put for physical activities, and use Buds2 Pro for everything else. Just subbed ... good channel bro.
I am currently using the G Buds2. Thinking about upgrading to the G Buds 2 Pro, however the G Buds FE with its lower price is something to consider. Good comparison Review Tech With Benefits.
My Buds2 is still working so... Staying with it for now
Owned both the buds2 and buds2 pro. A huge downside for the pros was for sleeping. I like to listen to ambient music to fall asleep and the buds2 were far more comfortable. The sharp angle of the pros will stab into your ear if you place any weight on them.
So if you sleep with your earbuds, or listen while resting your ear on your hand you will definitely not be comfortable for very long.
very helpful video, gave a very different perspective on the buds, really appreciate it!
I like the glossy white case, keeps clean, feels nicer in hand, scratches hardly visible.
Nicely done! Glad I subscribed! I still love my buds 2 pros.. 😊
Good review explained well and didnt automatically bias toward the more exe ones and gave an honest opinion 👍
Best review I've seen. Just subscribed! Thank you and keep up with the good job. Cheers from Brazil :)
I'm using the galaxy buds+ since 3-4 years now and they still work perfectly. Looking for a change though. Now my most used feature by far is actually the volume control by double tapping the left (down) or right (up) ear. This so handy for quickly changing volume even if you wear a hoody for example.
Not sure if I missed it, but do the Buds FE have that feature too? How can you control volume with those?
Same way
Thank you for this comparison. Got all the info I needed.
I was undecided and needed a helping hand to choose. I actually watched this instore by the display stand lol.
I bought the FE's.
I have an earbuds edge hack for the B2P! Just flick the top of your ear instead of touching the Buds, works so much better!
Great video! It cleared up a lot of the confusion I had. Thanks!
Excellent review!
Love this video, helped me choose the right ones, thanks!
If you care for audio quality, definitely the Pro. I just changed from Buds2, and the difference is huge.
Love your work. Thank you for doing what you do.
I think the market has made the decision for me, I lost my OG buds in the past weekend and want an update, the FE looked great but then I found brand new Buds2 Pro going for less at £86 and I think it's a no brainer.
I just got the FE in an offer with a new phone, I didn't realise they don't support wireless charging until I opened the box. Absolutely bizarre, considering that means that you can't power share from your phone to your buds. I LOVE the wingtip though.
Keep these videos up man! Love the information you give
Thank 🙏
I saw the Buds 2 Pro on sale at Amazon today for $99. That makes the choice a no-brainer.
I removed the rubberized coating on the buds2 pro. Took a bit of time but they look nice
Thanks, Daniel. Great accent!
Doing my research trying to upgrade from original buds lol. Guess I'm going buds 2 pro, but deff gonna miss that wing fit!
Thanks for making it easier to choose Buds FE
great detailed review. the only thing i'm left wondering is mic performance in a noisy environment.
FE is the best. Look on rtings 👍
Hey Daniel, I have all 3 also. I mainly use the the Buds2 Pro for flights for the brilliant ANC. My daily drivers are the Buds Live as they stay in the ear and allow external sound. Perfect for exercising or low noise areas. When I got the Buds FE and tried the fit, I didn't think I would be going back to the Buds2 Pro at all. The sound is good in the FE's, so very passible for daily use and flights with the wing tips. The only drawback being the lack of wireless charging. Oh, and I used to use the Buds2 a bit, but I think the FE's might take over.
Which one would u say is better between the pro and fe? I can get either of them for the same price but idk which one to get. Fe sounds appealing cuz of the wing tips for when i walk home on the daily and the noise cancelling being better(?). Whilst the pros have better audio and better software and the 360 degree microphone
@@conglomerate127 The Pro are a better set for pretty much everything except the fit (all the extra features, including the wireless charging). The ANC is about the same, but with the wing tips you are pretty much guaranteed that the FE won't fall out.
For me (only my opinion), I'd probably use the FE when walking, but stick to the Pro on a flight.
I haven't done a straight FE vs Pro ANC comparison, but the FE ANC was great when I tried it. I vacuumed my car with them on and barely heard the vacuum while listening to a Podcast. Last time I used the Pro to do the same, the ANC was similar, but they moved in my ears a bit while moving my head around a lot.
I guess it just depends on your use case...
@@conglomerate127 I did a test earlier on the ANC and sound quality. Buds2 Pro are definitely better, sound quality is great and the ANC is also.
The fit really is the only thing that the FE would do better with the wingtips.
Great video man..i found out that i was wearing my buds fe wrong, i.e., the wing tips underneath the lower crus of antihelix, and it was painful. I was about to return them but now got the trick. Thanx✌🏽
so just a couple days ago my galaxy buds pro started giving me a problem ..after 2 yrs of use .low volume in the left bud...apparently other ppl online say the same ...I was wanting to go pro again ...bt the fe def seem the better buy on substance ...
Thank you for a great review 👍
Ok, If I can get the FE' s for $63 and the Pro 2 for $103, I have no idea what to do.
You have me a bit nervous the Pro 2 will fall out all the time.
Am I just crazy or does the FE handle wind noise better with the ANC? The ANC itself is stronger on the Pro but if I am not just smoking crack then the ANC on the FE is more useful as soon as you step outside.
I have just recently received the FE buds, love the overall sound quality and the fit. My 9nly problem is that I have an iPhone 13 and I downloaded the Samsung buds app, but I can’t get it to recognise it, so I can’t go into the settings and change anything. Hopefully either Samsung or apple will come up with a solution for this minor issue. I exchanged points for them, and from what I’ve seen of the price, I got a real bargain. My points dollar value wouldn’t have been enough, probably only would have given me about 75% of the money. It looked like it was a special item that was limited, so they’ve probably stopped that particular item for that price, so I’m very happy with them. Hopefully I’ll work out how to get them to work with my iPhone, or either of the companies will bring out an update to fix my app issues. Good video by the way, shows that for such a reasonable priced set of buds, they are actually very good.
Where did you get em them. Becareful they might be fake if the app doesn't recognize them
@@Blu3_777 , they were sent by Harvey Norman and I got them using my flybuy points.ive looked over them and the numbers and serial numbers match. It might be that because I have an iPhone and not a Samsung phone that there’s an incompatibility.
On Samsungs website. It says the galaxy buds iOS app isn't supported. You can only use Bluetooth with them. Which is strange why have an app for iOS but doesn't work
Thank you so much for this review!
Great video, thank you so much for your content! QUICK QUESTION: I have the Buds 2, will upgrading to buds 2 PRO be a better noice cancellation / microphone combo?
I live in a noisy place and the Buds 2 is amazing, wondering if I should upgrade to the Pro version

I have the Galaxy buds pro but they just don't fit. And they hurt my ears trying to smash them in. They do sound good though.
