ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
More affordable - $100
So FE is the budget lineup, but it technically stands for fan edition
Longest battery life in the lineup!
But if you think about it, for the first time, this is a product that is so deserving of the “fan edition” name
The wing tip is back!!
2 colors - graphite and white
Capacitive touch sensors - but they look like buttons
6/21 hr battery
8.5/30 w/o ANC
ANC and ambient modes + 3 mics - I will test all of this as soon as I have a pair in the studio. Subscribe to see that!
IPX2 - this is our first real compromise
This means waterdrops can fall on it for 10 minutes from vertical to +/- 15 degrees
Compatibility - Android and PC (with Galaxy buds app) + samsung TVs newer than 2022. Bluetooth only for iPhones
No wireless charging - our second compromise
Voice wake up and voice assistant

wing tips for earbuds are so underrated, wish more companies would use it since silicone always fall out my ears
I don't even consider earbuds unless they have wings.
I loved my Buds+ and never in my wildest dreams expected them to make a come back... I do prefer the old case as they were considerably slimmer, but happy to see this nonetheless.
I had Buds+ and upgraded to Buds2. I really miss the Buds+'s case
@@lunobliqueI also have the buds+, bought the buds2 and I just wasn't a fan. Gave the buds2 to my girlfriend and I'm still using the buds+ just patiently waiting and I think it's finally gonna be time to upgrade. I just need those wing tips so bad
Me too, I miss my buds+
If removing wireless charging helps achieve the $99, then I don't really mind. The battery in the case lasts long enough for you to plug it in at least once during the week. I don't really see it as a compromise.
same same. I do not care about water resistant as well. I ain't running or going out in rain.
@InderjitSingh12 you don't go swimming with them? 😂
Just got the 2 Pros and while I absolutely love the ANC and fantastic improvement to sound, the change in design from the Buds+ was a major step back. That design gives you a large pad around the entire bud to grab, hold, and adjust without activating the touch controls. I had to disable touch controls on the 2 Pros because there is just no way to touch them without hitting the touch pads.
I also got recently the 2 Pros, after losing my Buds+ case. The connection is a lot worse, the pass-through ambient sound is a lot worse, the base EQ has too much bass, battery life is a lot worse (4-5h vs 11h), sound quality is better (but tbh not a lot, despite me using .FLAC), I prefer the design, except for the in ear tips.
Earbud controls are something that seems to be neglected by a lot of earbud manufacturers despite being one of the most important parts of the user experience.
The original Galaxy buds were my first pair of truely wireless earbuds ever and I have been consistently reminded of just how good the original's (and that of the buds +) design was in this regard. It seems to be a bit of a tug of war, trying to find the right size/shape of an earbud while combining the right size/shape touch area for ergonomics but then the arguement of making the entire package larger/smaller for better audio quality/comfort comes into play.
I'd like to try some of those
The Galaxy Buds+ were my first pair of TWS. The fit was great (ANC not required) and they were comfortable. I do wonder if they will retain the Edge Control feature. If they are anything like the original Buds+ then they would be an easy top pick to recommend to anyone.
My first buds were the buds plus because of your recommendation. I loved them. I later switch to the AirPods and while they have a bunch of ease of use features since I’m an iPhone user, they didn’t stay in my ears nearly as much, the battery life was dismal, but the active noise cancellation was very nice. Might need to get these!
My first ever wireless earbuds were the original Galaxy Buds. They were phenomenal. The sound was amazing, I did not care about noise cancelation, the price was good, it worked seamlessly with my Galaxy phone, and they were VERY comfortable on/in my ears. A few months ago those earbuds finally died on me after over 4 years of constant use. I ended up buying myself some Galaxy Buds Pro when I upgraded my Galaxy phone last year, since they came for free with my phone. I am not going to lie, although they are significantly better earbuds via sound and actually have noise cancelation, I genuinely do not like them because they are not as comfortable in my ears as other earbuds were. I have very sensitive ears, and any form of discomfort really affects me a lot. To see those original Galaxy Bud earbuds coming back, regardless if they aren't as good quality as my current buds, I am very excited for and happy to purchase a pair. Might sell or gift my current buds. Comfort over anything for me. Which is funny, because I am a sound snob, but if I really care about sound, I rather wear my headphones (and have them hardwired), which provide significantly better sounds than any earbuds can produce.
I'm in the same boat! I've had the Galaxy Buds for years and they're starting to die on me. For me they were the best earbuds for everyday use. I've been hesitant to buy the new Samsung offerings bc of the shape. Good to hear your experience!
I love my galaxy buds even that I have the galaxy buds pro and live
I hope this new one feels like the old buds
Listening to this video on my 4 year old original galaxy bud, that being only the left one because the right one dies within 2 minutes of using it, but that's understandable considering I've been using them at max volume daily in the gym, running, at home CONSTANTLY for those for years. I'm so happy that they made an updated version
Rejoicing that the Galaxy Buds+ are basically getting a sequel. I hope there will be a pro version with wingtips..
As someone whose been using buds+ for almost 3 years this is exciting. I've been wanting an upgrade but wanted to hold out for a new model. Waiting for reviews but I'm hopeful
why are the black ones in a white case? it looks so ugly to me. how hard is it to make a black case?
One of my huge complaint but stopped caring when i got a black case
spray paint can't be that hard lol
I bought a moss green case to put my white case in its closest I could get to OD Green but hey nomore white and they are more protected.
To save money they're probably using it from buds 2
Buds+ fit is so good. No wing tips needed (they hurt). Buds Pro 2 always feel like they are coming out and end up accidentally pausing music, adjusting them all the time.
So nice wings are back because they're so important for long lasting comfortable wear. It seems to be same case size, which is also very nice , as there are a lot really beautiful covers out there fitting from Buds Live to Buds 2 Pro. But of course sound quality has to be good ..
I had the original Galaxy Buds and I loved them so much. My sister too, and she still has them, she needs to upgrade, but these were just the one that fit the best and were the best earbuds. I will tell her to get these one
Buds+ is definitely the best buds Samsung released
So glad the wing tips are back! I always reverted back to my buds+ from my pros because of fit.
I just received mines today I have a IPhone 14 pro max and my I pods just stop working , plus they hurt my ears so bad I couldn’t take it. These fit very well no discomfort and stay’s in place , the noise cancellation must work really good because I was on the phone with my husband and he kept asking. Are you still there? It’s so quiet I can’t hear nothing in the background and I had the TV and the fan on. Very satisfied with my purchase 🔥❤️💯
I have the first buds, plus, pro, and live. All black. My original pair and the plus dont hold a charge as much anymore after using them almost daily since they came out, but i do prefer them so im glad to see this style coming back. But genuinly put off with the white outter case. Every other pair i have are all black. It matches. This is technically unimportant and not a big deal, but its big enough for me personally that it makes me question if getting the fit i prefer with a battery that isnt worn out is worth it or if i should just stick with my live and pro as my dailys.
Im super excited for these i enjoyed those + buds and they are at a fair price so excited for youre reviews
I love the tuch pads and wish I had them on my Buds 2 Pro. I want to be able to adjust my headphones and not accidentally change the song or pause it and not have to turn touch controls off to do that
When I saw your review and that the wing tips were back I ordered them up. Got them today. Soooo good. I am impressed with the sound quality. Fit is perfect. Love the wing tips
the gear icon x were wild and had some Features i would love to see again
the phone at 5:27 made me excited in more ways than one... that thing is beautiful for no reason..
It is a newly launched Samsung Galaxy S23 FE.
Buds+ were my first buds without the cable. Bought them to listen my music during fatbike rides. This means it had to took some wild stuff- sweat, weather, sometimes dropping etc. Buds+ were the WILD ones for me, due to those wing tips actually. They changed the game for me, fitted like custom made. Though, had a warranty case with those, the main sensor quit working... And they managed to lose my buds😪. Got my money back, but lose them too. After that, have had both, the Buds Pros and now the Pro2-s. Great great set of buds, but cause of the ridiculous lasting battery, still miss the original Buds+... Now, while having 2 sets of Pro2( one still not even opened), I really look forward to get the pair with those wing tips aswell👍🏻. Are they like old good Buds+ in terms of feeling? Is it true, that the IP rating is only down to ipx2😨? Thats a shame...with higher ip and wingtips, Samsung could have hit the jackpot easy💥👊...
I miss my buds+ I had two pairs, lost one, and another died. I’m glad they’re coming back somewhat. Definitely miss the old case
Glad they decided to bring it back.. hope they do this with the pro version ❤
I'm current still using these. Love them. Will these be available in the uk?
I'm so happy, I've been holding onto my two pairs of Buds Plus and it's impossible to connect them with my new laptops. Was about to buy Airpods today to connect to my computer, but whew am I excited about these!!!
I used boat before this so should i get the buds2 pro or the buds fe if the price isn't considered? Like is the buds2 pro actually better cause sure didn't sound like that from this video
This video made my night!!!!!! Thank you! I’m back into these oldies of mine and have tossed any effort to use Apple earbuds out the window. They just don’t fit.
super keen to see how these review
i try all the new buds from Samsung and the only one that does not fall of my ears is the buds plus, i am very happy this new model came out.
This vs Buds 2 at the same price? Plz tell which to buy currently amazon sale is going on here in India. I want seamless switching between my s21 ultra and tab s8 ultra
I love the wing tips 🪽
Bought a set of Buds+ a couple months ago from eBay as "new old stock". They were so comfortable when i tried them but the buds were DOA. So moved on. So glad these have released. Just got mine today and they're great. The wireless charging is no issue for me and they sound amazing. Just sent back my more expensive Denon Perl Pro's cos these are rendering them pointless.
Fins/wings are back! Are these the same size or smaller than buds plus? Using one for sleeping.
I have bought old stock of the Buds+ off ebay as I use them for sleep. It will be interesting to find out if they have the battery life of the Buds+. If so, load me up with a couple of sets. If not, I have the Buds+.
I currently have the galaxy buds pro and love the sound but I miss the wing tips from my galaxy buds ➕️ im happy to see Samsung listening to their customers and bringing the wings 🪽 back
How do these compare to the galaxy buds pro 1st gen and would an upgrade be worth it?
Waiting for the full review on this FE buds
Still using the Buds+ works like a charm can go on for a few more years before the upgrade
But sadly samsung stopped software updates for it a longtime ago
Looks awesome fits awesome...product is awesome
I wonder if the pro 2 case which has wireless charging is usable with these FE buds.
So I thought this was presenting tomorrow...
omg lol
The future is now, old man
S24s tomorrow.
@@TheArtisticBurgerisn’t that next year q1?
@@TheArtisticBurgerno thats january/ early February
Buds plus were the best. They felt so secure in my ears.
Does it charge in the buds plus case?
I loved the wing tips on my buds + but I want that with all the features of my buds pro2 like IPX rating and wireless charging. I'll wait even if I have to pay more than the FE.
This is the comment I was looking for.
I still use my Buds+ amazing earbuds. The Buds+ still have a longer battery life ,11 hours, shame they didn't match that.
Question...is there a way to change the touch controls? I love being able to adjust the volume and skip tracks by touching the earbuds, but for some reason I'm unable to find out how to do this with these?
So happy I have 3 pairs of buds plus!
Can't wait for the update video
I miss the wingtip a lot, my Pro 2s slip throughout the day and I'm a UPS Driver so i get sweaty and sometimes don't have a free hand to adjust them. I love them other than the fit, but don't have the money to keep trying buds until I find the perfect ones 😅
spec to spec Galaxy Buds+ vs Galaxy Buds FE? worth ditching Buds+ for FE?
Ha! I just finally got around to fitting rooms in the house with wifi charging stations and WiFi Charging mats. Doh! Thanks O.B.
How is the latency between these and windows computers? My buds+ and GB2Pro360 have major latency issues.
I still use my 2 pairs of buds+ I use them every day. I'm very happy about these fe ones because even though I replaced the batteries I can't get a full 8 hours when new I could get over 10. I could not care less about the ANC as I have buds pro 2 and wf1000xm4. I sleep with th buds+ so over 8 hours is the most important thing. The original buds pro suckes ass fit wise and they just sat on my shelf. Even the buds pro 2 aren't great buds are usable. No wireless charging is a bummer though.
The 2 Pros gives me ear fatigue after around an hour's use, and it's really irritating when I watch movies while wearing them. Do wing tips improve the comfort, or does it only make it more secure in your ear?
When are they coming out?
I'm still rocking my buds plus ❤
Is there still an issue with ear infection? I got issues with my ears from Buds Pro, Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro and had to change to other earphones. When they fixed it with the FE I will get them.
Do they stay in the ear while running? My buds 2 would constantly fall out with even the slightest of movemnt.
oooohhh I wanna get my hands on these...
I just got Buds 2 Pro yesterday to replace my Buds+ (decided to upgrade because I got a hugh discount from my local phone shop and got this Buds 2 Pro for only 90$).
I actually prefer the Buds 2 Pro smaller size due to my big ears it pretty easy to just slot the buds in my ear compare to the Buds+ but well the fit is different for everyone depend on shape of their ears.
And Battery life on Buds 2 Pro for me actually better than my Buds+ (but well I've been using Buds+ for many years so it battery might degraded already)
I also like the matte finish on Buds 2 Pro cause the Buds+ glossy finish was a finger print magnet.
But ngl tho Buds+ is a damn good ear buds for it price and I probably wouldn't upgrade if not for the hugh discount I got , I would probably give the Buds+ a good clean and hand it over to my little brother who using cheap chinese buds atm.
im only missing 1 pair of the galaxy buds line up and the best one by far is the buds 2 pro
Did you have a chance to go into Bluetooth audio codec?
When testing?
I'd guess the FEs will be just fine in most wet conditions. Water ingress is funny that way, a little of it is actually a fairly simple ordeal. You can dunk a plastic/paper cup with a flimsy lid under water and, despite full immersion, the cup would only see a drop or two through the straw slot.
Get down to the size of these earbuds with glues/adhesives and fairly tight tollerances between plastic housing components and you can kinda guess that these will be just fine.
Why the lower rating then? Well, afaik, the certification itself costs a sizeable amount of money. To a company like Samsung, it may not be much (I remember seeing someone mention a number on a forum to the tune of 5 digits USD) but they are also trying to keep the price down to sell a ton of these. More products in more frugal consumer's ears/hands/pockets sounds like a recipe for a bunch of warrantee repair requests if the rating were to be IPX7+. Chlorinated pools, salt water, chemically treated water, etc are all grey areas that would be more costly to prove than they'd be to send out a brand new pair as a replacement, so I kinda get why lower end earbuds get a lower rating.
It's almost like an enhanced warrantee for the $250 pros or any other earbud pair with better a IPX certification. That's how I think of it, at least.
Will it work with the galaxy buds+ case?
My buds plus on the left side has gotten quieter since its the one I use the most after a daith piercing on my right won't allow me to. I was just searching for a replacement and am so happy to see this new lineup. I have the buds 2 and I still prefer the plus after having it for a year.
I had my right side get quieter (this is the side I use the most as well) it turned out that, over time there was buildup of wax🤢 I carefully disassembled the earbud and cleaned/unclogged it. Sounds like new!
Same. Left got very low. Take the tips off and give the grills a little scrub with some isopropyl alcohol. Good as new 👍
You just need to clean them with alcohol. All earbuds get quieter over time due to ear wax buildup.
Can you also review Lypertek S10 earbuds
I still have 1 of my buds plus after 2 years just or my replacement 😂I had the galaxy buds the gear Icon an iconx they have came a long long way now that they brought back the old style definitely may get a pair love the fitment
Please when testing ANC, test for sound quality with ANC on and off. One huge issue with the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is the sound quality when ANC is on and it SUCKS.
Please please test this and let us know. Love the content ❤
will these connect to my lg smart oled tv? I have a samsung tablet 2020 and samsung note 10 plus phone 2017
Think I'll be getting my mom these for her birthday since she still uses the Buds Plus
Hello guys I got it yesterday but I have iphone, any suggestions to utilize the buds more even im using iphone?
No way, dream come true. I had like 3 gb+ My biggest issue was either I forgot to take them out my pockets or ear wax getting inside and damper the sound. Thanks for the video.
Watched ur vid and go the buds plus, but i lost them today 😢, looking for a new one so here we go again.
Please make a video of the galaxy s23 fe. Greetings from Chile. !
I had the original Galaxy buds and I loved the form factor. I wish these had wireless charging.
I currently have the buds 2 pro and I am not that happy with the fit.
I still wear my og buds. Been wanting a new pair, got the live and hated those. They never stay in my ears
ive had the Galaxy Buds Buds + Buds Live and Buds 2 and Buds 2 pro I love the Galaxy Buds + fit but I like the Galaxy Buds 2 pro ANC I love the case of the Buds 2 Pro the only ones I'm missing is the galaxy buds pro and my best one for me is the buds two pro they work really well it just needs a better fit for me and I'm set connection is great sound quality is great I'm a collector for the galaxy buds line up I'm debating on getting these or no
Looks nice wish they had them in black and wonder if they have more wingtips
they do come in black
They mixed all their earbuds together into one?
I wish for nothing more then for samsung to someday make a stemstyle earbuds like iphone has , stemstyle are so much easier take out and put back in and much easier to get in the right position , wish there was a top of the line stemstyle earbuds that was as good as iPods and sony xw5
Would definitely get them but lack of wireless charging is a deal-breaker for me. Being able to charge earbuds from my phone and in general leaving the case on the charger for some time is so much more comfortable than looking for a usb every time.
Do they have noise canceling in one ear?
Idk why samsung stopped doing the wing tips. I love the way the Buds 2 Pro sound but they can never stay in my ear during any workout
i dont see the galaxy buds fe on samsungs website or through the link in the summary
They're not on sale till the 10th
Just got me buds fe. There are 3 things of note. They sound a little flatter then the bud2 pros. Not as crisp. The base is actually better on the buds fe. I was actually surprised. When you get the buds fe set the touch and hold to volume up and down. With just the phone volume toggle you will think bud volume is to low. Fit and comfort goes to fe. I still give overall sound quality to the pros but for 99 dollars these buds are the best you will find. They beat the 150 dollar buds2 imo. They lack the ear tap for volume which saddens me.
Does it come with Dolby Atmos?
Any info on GPS trackimg..the 1st buds had it bud2 didn't have it
Imma justify the 2 "major" drawbacks:
1. No wireless charging - personally I've never been a fan of wireless charging even for phones because it's slow as hell and is conducting more heat than normal charging, and it overall looks weird if you charge your earbuds on top of your phone, what for? To produce more hear for your phone and not be able to use it because you're charging the case of your earbuds?
2. IPX2 water resistance rating - seriously who even walks under the rain with earbuds on? I personally haven't seen one, also, sweat is rarely produced around the ear and if there is, it's minimal, and it's not even close as to being splashed with water.
I'm getting this buds for Christmas ❤️ love it Samsung, thanks for considering us budget conscious consumers.
I preferred the sound of the buds pro. I preferred the comfort of the buds plus. The pros were so uncomfortable but sounded way better. I just got these from Best Buy for $50 because they are refurbished with the same warranty time will tell.
Aleays had the original buds not even the buds+ and i loved them, got the buds pro and they hurt mt ears and fell out so i sold them and continued to use my original buds, then got the buds2 and thought finally i can upgrade... But nope they sucked, they fall out and not enough bass so o returned to my trusty original buds, after seeing these im totally giving them a try! Have a feeling these are exactly what ive been needing.
Buds fe or buds 2 pro ?
Now the buds 3 pro would be awesome
Today i found out, that my 3 years old galaxy buds plus, that i love have wireless charging 😅
Do you think there Is some way to charge buds FE wirelessly? I mean, with replacement case, or some sleve for the case, that you plug in USB c ?
Finally optional ear wings. My ears cant hold earbuds without stems for a long time unless they have an airpods/airpods pro like design. To date though my most favourite wing design is the one on the beats fit pro but any kind of wings for me are welcome on stemless earbuds.
I used the Galaxy buds plus and i loved it mainly for the fit and the battery. Using other stuff now makes me realize how bad the battery life is.
Buds plus was my favourite also
Compare them to the Buds 2 and Buds 2 pro
YES!!!
