"the new buds DO NOT fit my ears at all."
"most of them are the shape of airpods 4 which I'm not comfortable with either. ... the samsung buds are so good considering they're exactly like airpods 4"
"Both the FE and the pro have bigger 'buds' than their original ears and are too big for mine unfortunately. ... I just want a very tiny bud with rounded/bullet tips instead of the oval tips they use today."

alexsasacv 1.0Best Buds ever, nothing later compares, I tried all of them, and none fits so good as Buds+, impossible to fall out of the ear, unlike all "pro" including Apple's (my wife has an iPhone and specifically asked me to NOT buy Airpods for her birthday, she loves Buds+ :) Bought new Buds Core (as a cheap backup) and while they are very similar, still can't match Buds+.
arlilo 1.0Galaxy Buds Core would be an easy pick if you are into the Samsung ecosystem or simply need some no-brainer entry-level TWS that just work with your phone. Anyway, many TWS that have transparency mode also have noise-canceling (ANC) mode, since both use mics anyway.
bhandsome08 1.0Buds FE or Buds Core would be perfect for you. Decent battery life and sound is actually pretty good for their prices. Both can be had for under $100. If I had to choose, I would go with the Buds Core for the updated feature set.
Breaker_19 1.0In my opinion the galaxy buds Plus we're the best bud Samsung ever made. They had tremendous battery life and the call quality in a noisy truck was great. Galaxy buds FE were terrible. They had poor microphones in them. Nobody could hear you in a phone call. Galaxy buds core are a recreation of the Galaxy buds Plus. They have tremendous battery life and they have active noise cancellation. I can put them in at 6:00 a.m. and they last me until 5:00 p.m. everyday. And the price is awesome less than $50. I recommend these to anybody looking for a quality set of earbuds. Especially if you drive a truck.
I put them in at 6am. It's 4pm now and the percentage is at 39 percent. That's insane.
Very very good. You'll be happy with the upgrade.
The only drawback is no wireless charging
cachelurker 1.0Galaxy Buds Core. I own one and yes it's good for the price of about ₱1,200.00 from Shopee. Nice fit in the ears, long battery life, good equalizer presets you can choose from in the Samsung Wearable App, great audio quality and good ANC because the physical design allows the earbuds to form a tight seal around your ear canal so passive ANC is already really good and made even better with Samsung's ANC mode.
finallyfree99 1.0I paid $50 for my Samsung Buds Core and I am 100% satisfied: - Good sound quality. Not the best, but good enough for me. - Good Active Noise Cancellation. It helps a lot, because some places are way too loud and noisy. - Good battery life (between 20 and 40 hours with the case, depending on whether ANC is on or off) - Very affordable price, 50 bucks. - If you already own Samsung products, these Buds have that special Samsung codec so pairing and enjoying a great connection to your phone/TV/tablet works perfectly. I do not care much about the lack of wireless charging or other stuff.
Future-Dare-5368 1.0I use the galaxy buds core, and this is my first from the galaxy buds series of earbuds Before that I used Air Pod 2s i believe, and they werent a good fit for me (quite literally speaking) The buds themselves are really good, especially the noise cancelling The case of the buds is not the best quality, and it still explodes when dropped ;-; Would still reccomend them though
Healthy_Tour8691 1.0None, go for the galaxy buds core or buds FE whichever is cheaper.. 1) They have brilliant wingtips and they don't even move slightly in you ears let alone fall from them. 2) These buds can't even dream (including soundcore) to match the sound quality and well even the ANC on FE/core by the company that owns Harman Kardon itself (and akg, Bowers and wilkins, Bang and olufsen car audio division, JBL(this ones not that great but yeah..) and many more audio pioneers) ** There is always a chance that an earbud doesn't fit your ears no matter how well it is designed, so keep that in mind..
Johnny_Kilroy 1.0I just got the practically identical Buds Core on Amazon for $30 cheaper than the FE. Absolutely love them. My wife tried them and immediately ordered a pair for herself too.
Khantherockz 1.0You can get Samsung Buds FE or Core. They're great, good build and overall solid. If your priority is not ANC then don't even bother with XM5.
