Seven reasons you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE this Black Friday

Samsung Galaxy is one of the most popular brands in mobile technology, and the FE – or “Fan Edition” – series is especially compelling. With it, Samsung focuses on maintaining the core features that fans love, while offering a lower price than you’d expect for such quality tech.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are a great example of this, providing superb audio and quality noise cancellation in a tiny package at a bargain price. And this Black Friday, you can get your hands on a pair for even less, with Currys slashing £30 off the price and making them just £69.

But just what exactly makes the Galaxy Buds FE such a compelling set of earbuds? Here are seven things that make them stand out.

Excellent sound quality

The most important thing to look for in a pair of earphones is, of course, sound quality. And that’s what Samsung has focused on most with the Galaxy Buds FE.

The buds offer a warm sound signature with a pleasingly rich bass response, ensuring that they handle any music you throw at them with aplomb. And with the excellent Galaxy Wearable app, you can adjust the sound through several equaliser presets.

Impressive noise cancellation to block the world out

There’s nothing worse than having your tunes drowned out by ambient noise from the world around you. Brilliantly for the price, the Galaxy Buds FE come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to fight back against external bothersome noise, ensuring nothing comes between you and your music.

Like other ANC solutions, this is made possible with tiny microphones which analyse the noise around you and produce the opposite sound waves to cancel them out. Even without music playing, you’ll find background din reduced to a minimum – and it’s almost inaudible when you add your own tunes on top.

Sometimes, of course, you need to hear some things – train announcements, people trying to get your attention or traffic sounds. Here, Ambient Noise mode excels, letting important sounds through so you won’t miss anything urgent.

Superb call quality

The microphones aren’t just for noise cancellation. They also allow you to wirelessly make and take calls from your connected phone, and once again here the quality shines through. Audio is crystal clear, and the quality of the microphones ensure that you’ll be heard even in noisier environments.

Tiny footprint for maximum portability

When not in use, the Galaxy Buds FE live in a carry case that keeps them charged up. If you’re someone with smaller pockets, you’ll definitely appreciate the efforts Samsung has made to keep this slim.

Measuring just 50 x 28 x 50mm and weighing only 40g, it’s one of the smallest earbud cases you can buy, making it ideal to take with you wherever you go.

A battery that goes on and on

Despite the small physical footprint of the case, the Galaxy Buds FE will go a surprising amount of time before you need to plug them in.

With noise cancellation on, you’ll get six hours of playback and that rises to eight without ANC. The case, meanwhile, provides three full charges, meaning you’ll get a total of 24-30 hours of playback without having to worry about charging.

A fit so comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing them

A long battery is only useful if you can bear wearing your earbuds for hours on end, and thankfully the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are some of the most comfortable true wireless earphones you can buy. Just attach the right tip size for your ears, and you’re away.

Not only does the ergonomic design mean they fit comfortably in the ears, but the snug fit and wing tips ensure they stay put once in place. They won’t fall out, even during intensive exercise.

Even better with the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy AI

While the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE work with any Android phone, using them with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone makes them even better. Not only does this unlock SSC – a proprietary Samsung codec which dynamically adjusts bitrate – but when paired with a member of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 smartphone family, you get the best part of Galaxy AI for your earbuds.

Galaxy AI already lets you translate conversations in 13 different languages in real-time, but when paired with the Galaxy Buds FE things get even better, as the audio can be separated. In other words, you’ll hear the translation through your earbuds, while your conversation partner hears the original audio through the smartphone speaker. It’s something that feels genuinely magical in use.

Bag a bargain today

In short, the Galaxy Buds FE combines super sound quality, great ANC with supreme comfort and a battery that goes on and on. They’re a good buy at any time, but at their discounted Black Friday price of just £75, they’re simply too good to miss.
