The Galaxy Buds FE are ergonomically designed to nestle snugly in the ear, with both wing tips and ear tips included in the box at two sizes each — so you can combine the right ear tip for sound seal with the right wing tip for physical stability during workouts, commutes, or long listening sessions. The distinct separation between the touch area and the grip area means you can adjust the earbuds without accidentally triggering controls, a small design detail that makes a real difference in daily use.
Active Noise Cancellation is on by default, powered by the inner microphone working alongside the outer mics to continuously monitor and block unwanted low-frequency noise. Touch and hold the touch area to cycle between ANC, Ambient Sound, and Off. Three levels of Ambient Sound volume are configurable in the Galaxy Wearable app so you can dial in exactly how much of the world you want to let in without removing the earbuds. The custom 1-way speaker delivers enriched bass for music that feels full and dynamic, and the SSC codec maintains higher audio quality than SBC over Bluetooth on compatible Samsung devices.
For calls, six microphones combine with Personalized Beamforming — the earbuds automatically adjust to your personal wearing pattern to locate your voice accurately — and a DNN noise filtering solution isolates your voice from background noise so your words reach the other end clearly even in loud environments. Galaxy AI Interpreter works in two modes: face-to-face (pinch and hold to start, the Buds pick up the speaker's words and translate in your ear) and Live Translate on phone calls (translation happens in the Samsung Phone app with the dialogue displayed on screen). Both require a Samsung Account and compatible Samsung Galaxy device.
Auto Switch transfers the Buds FE connection seamlessly between your Samsung Galaxy devices based on audio activity — from your phone to your Galaxy Tab, or back, without manual reconnection. Bixby Voice Wake-up lets you control music, send texts, check the weather, and more hands-free with "Hi, Bixby." SmartThings Find tracks the earbuds' last known location and activates Lost Mode if someone else tries to pair them, displaying your pre-registered contact information on their device.
