Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Buds3 FE, its latest Fan Edition earbuds, and this time they feel like more than just a “budget” compromise. Featuring a blade stem design, Galaxy AI integration, and premium audio features at a mid-range price, these earbuds are clearly aimed at taking on Apple’s AirPods 3rd Gen.

In this article, we’ll cover the design, features, specs, pros & cons, comparisons, price in Nepal, and our final verdict.

 

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE Overview

🔹 Blade Design Evolution

Samsung has finally embraced the stem-style (blade) design, borrowed from the Buds3 Pro. The look is sleek, functional, and unmistakably influenced by Apple AirPods.

  • IP54 rating: Dust and splash resistance (safe for workouts and rain).

  • Colors: Black and Gray – simple, minimal, and elegant.

  • Controls: Pinch and swipe gestures for better accuracy compared to taps.

This redesign isn’t just cosmetic; it improves call quality by giving microphones better placement and makes gestures more intuitive.



 

🔹 Galaxy AI Features

One of the standout upgrades is Galaxy AI integration, making these more than just earbuds:

  • Interpreter Mode (Real-time Translation) – Instantly translate foreign languages during conversations.

  • Hands-free Google Gemini – Use AI assistant directly from the buds for tasks, reminders, or queries.

  • Adaptive EQ – Learns your listening preferences and auto-adjusts audio.

  • 360 Audio + 24-bit Hi-Fi – Premium surround sound experience, rivaling high-end buds.

 

 

🔹 Audio & ANC Performance

  • Dynamic drivers deliver powerful bass and clear treble.

  • Triple microphones boost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for quieter commutes.

  • Crystal-clear calls thanks to better mic positioning.

Samsung has finally caught up to the AirPods in everyday performance, while offering more features at the same price.

🔹 Battery Life & Connectivity

Battery life has seen solid improvements:

  • ANC on → 6 hours playback, 24 hours with case.

  • ANC off → 8.5 hours playback, 30 hours with case.

  • USB-C charging only (no wireless charging).

  • Bluetooth 5.4 with dual device pairing (Samsung-only).

 

 

🔹 Controls & Codecs

  • Pinch & swipe gestures: No more accidental touches.

  • Codecs: AAC, SBC, and Samsung’s Seamless Codec (SSC).

  • Find My Earbuds helps track them if misplaced.

 Pros &  Cons

Pros

  • Stylish blade design with IP54 protection

  • Galaxy AI with real-time translation

  • 24-bit Hi-Fi & immersive 360 Audio

  • Triple-mic ANC (better than AirPods 3)

  • Long-lasting battery (up to 30h)

  • Affordable mid-range pricing

Cons

  • No wireless charging for case

  • Samsung Seamless Codec only works on Galaxy devices

  • Limited colors (no fun options)

  • Still pricier than budget TWS earbuds

 

 

 Final Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE feel like the first true Fan Edition earbuds that don’t cut corners. With Galaxy AI, real-time translation, improved ANC, long battery life, and a premium design, they offer better value than AirPods 3rd Gen at a slightly lower price.

If you own a Samsung or Android phone, these are a no-brainer mid-range buy. For iPhone users, they’re still better on features, but lack the deep Apple ecosystem perks.

 At around NPR 21,000 – 25,000 in Nepal, the Galaxy Buds3 FE could easily become one of the best-selling TWS earbuds of 2025.
