Samsung on September 4 launched the Galaxy Buds 3 FE (Fan Edition) alongside the Galaxy S25 FE smartphone and Galaxy Tab S11 series at the Galaxy Event. The Galaxy Buds 3 FE adopt the stem-style design from the Buds 3 series and offers active noise cancellation (ANC) along with Samsung’s Crystal Clear Call technology. The earbuds also integrate AI features, including real-time translation via Galaxy AI when paired with compatible Galaxy devices.
Although Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Buds 3 FE in August, they will be available in India starting September 5.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE: Features
Samsung said the Buds 3 FE deliver improved sound quality and upgraded ANC compared to the previous model. Crystal Clear Call technology uses machine learning to reduce background noise and isolate the speaker’s voice, while the redesigned stem optimises microphone placement for better capture.
The earbuds support pinch gestures for selections and swipe gestures for volume adjustment. Galaxy ecosystem features include Auto Switch, which shifts connections automatically between Galaxy devices. When paired with a compatible smartphone, the Buds 3 FE can act as a live translator using the Galaxy AI Interpreter.
The earbuds also provide hands-free access to Google Gemini via the “Hey Google” command. Previously limited to the Pixel Buds Pro 2, this functionality is now available on Samsung earbuds and will expand to other Buds 3 models with the One UI 8 update.
