Product Information

Full details

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE in Black are true wireless stereo (TWS) in-ear headphones designed for users seeking comfortable, extended listening sessions for both calls and music. They offer a minimalistic matte finish and reliable Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. A key benefit is their IP54 rating, providing resistance to dust and splashes, making them suitable for everyday use. However, the noise cancellation is passive, meaning it relies on the ear tip seal rather than active electronic cancellation.
