"I don’t rly have them get loose. Best fitting earbuds for me"
"I really enjoy the rubber wing tips that the Galaxy Buds FE provides, so I'm looking for that level of security."
"Galaxy buds fe have a wing that keep mine in my ears super well and are the most comfortable. ... These have like, never, fallen out of my ears. ... I used to work walking around a lot and weird movements printing shirts, now i do custodial work."

"I can back these, got the FE buds and I have no clue what music my gym plays."
"the anc is great ... and the anc is great"
"I currently have the Galaxy Buds FE. They came free with my phone and are my first ANC earphones but I have been so impressed I am now thinking about getting more expensive ones for potentially even better ANC and also better sound quality. ... For me it's the fact that it allows me to hear almost nothing of the world around me at all, only my music. ... But with wearing ANC (active noise cancelling) headphones (in my case I use earphones) and listening to music that is appropriately "busy" it allows me to hear absolutely NOTHING else other than the music in many situations, outside of lulls in the music or when it changes track, or when something unexpectedly loud happens, some of it might come through for a moment. ... Having them in my life now though is amazing because I don't have to have the volume too loud, while the effect is just as good."

"I love them, they retail at $100, I'd be happy to pay that price for them. ... I believe for the price they're hard to beat."
"sound quality you can't complain about for the price"
"They're a lot less expensive ... not enough that they're worth three times the price of the FE buds."

"I love the sound and comfort of the Galaxy FE, but I have an iPhone. I bought an older used Android phone just for the Galaxy FE."
"if you own an iPhone buying them is pointless. ... you will not be able to update them, eq them, or change any settings due to the lack of the app. ... I owned Buds 2 with iPhone and I had to use Windows PC to set them and update them xD"
"they don't support apt-x so they sound best with galaxy phones (which i have)."

"The only device I notice audio latency is with the quest 2, and 3. It's required to have wired there imo. I can't think straight in a fps if my audio isn't in sync with gun shots, it really fucks with me."
"my older galaxy buds have terrible latency."
"Airpods have the same latency on a Steam Deck or any other PC as your galaxy buds for the same reason. They will both be using the SBC codec with precisely the same performance."
3StarsFan 1.0I use the Buds 3 Pro but really miss my FEs. I wont switch back, just miss em.
Acceptable_Youth8130 1.0Galaxy Buds Bro 2and Galaxy Buds Fe. On my S24U. Battery on both are great & they sound good.
AchaiaJael 1.0I absolutely loved my Buds 2. About two weeks ago, I was on a boat, and one of them fell out of my ear and plopped into the Aegean Sea. I am now enjoying my new Buds FE.
AkilaMaithri 1.0I have the same phone. Bought buds3 FE last week (after some researching). Sound is okay for wireless earbuds (I have 7hz zero and Final e3000 IEMs). Battery drains faster than I expected though it's more than enough for my 45 min commute which I bought them for. I saw that the hinge of FE was plastic, not steel like pro's. Didn't drop them yet - not planning to :)
alchemisthemo 1.0The buds fe fit my ears better. My pro 2 always fall out.
alfonsop123 1.0I love the FE, great pair of earbuds.
No, only the buds FE.
a_lot_of_babies 1.0Galaxy buds Fe are pretty alright. They have a gaming mode for low latency. Good sound quality. Good ANC. Good battery. And veryyy reliable.
AlphaSniper_134 1.0If you can increase your budget, I would recommend Samsung Buds FE. Best in the range. (approx 13k)
andalas 1.0i have enco x3i. anc is amazing. i ride train every weekend. no complain from my wife. we usually on call for 6 hours while i was on train. my voices are clear but huawei freebuds pro 4 is better. trains noise factor is higher than busy street noise. oppo enco x3i = oneplus buds 3 (same product just different name) i bought huawei for 127usd and oppo for 67usd. i have also use others such as buds fe, liberty 4 nc. not good, voices are not clear. buds fe received very high rating for phone calls in rtings.com, but imho avoid, its bad. i bought 2, believing online review are dependable. on my search for clear call, now i owns, 2x buds fe, enco x3i, liberty 4 nc, buds pro, fiio utws5, 2x huawei freebuds pro 4. (so far huawei 0 complain) 🤣
anna_or_elsa 1.0I use the Galaxy FE because they have the little wings, and with the aftermarket tips I bought, they stay in well, no matter what I'm doing. (I mainly use them for disc golf and rough outdoor work) But it's not a love affair... they don't support apt-x so they sound best with galaxy phones (which i have). You are limited to the EQ presets and none really work for me so I pick the one that suits my mood that day. ANC, comfort, and sound are OK. I'm picky about sound and can't really find fault but you are never going to hand these to someone and say oh my god you have to hear these. While not major faults there is nothing 'audiophile' about the sound. My number one priority was them staying in, at least ok sound, and they were at my price point. They did everything well enough that I did not return them.
