The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE was finally officially launched late last night, bringing some of the premium features previously given to the Buds3 Pro but in a more affordable package. The design is similar to the Buds3 Pro but without the LED light on the stem.
It is an earphone with a silicone bud design that is stuffed into the ear and comes with ANC support to reduce the hustle and bustle of the surrounding noise. Each Buds3 FE audio bud comes with one audio driver and three microphones. The tethering is via Bluetooth 5.4 with coded SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec), AAC, and SBC.
On the stem there are pressure and touch sensors. This allows audio to be played, paused, and skipped, and the audio volume can be controlled just like on the Buds3 Pro. Each Buds3 FE can also be taken for exercise activities because it passes the IP54 standard.
The 53 mAh battery on the bud offers up to 6 hours of use with AND and 8 hours without ANC. With the help of a charging pod equipped with a 515 mAh battery, the usage life increases to 24 hours with ANC and 30 hours without ANC. Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE will be available starting September 19 in Malaysia in black and gray. The Malaysian sales price has not been announced but in the US it is sold for $149 (~RM 630) each.
