Q: Will these let me hear people talking and play my music? I need to hear people talk but also I want to hear my podcasts/ music.

A: Greetings, thank you for finding the time out of your bustling day to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE. That's a fantastic question! Yes! The Galaxy Buds FE features Ambient Sound. Ambient sound uses the external microphones on your earbuds to let you hear outside noises, so you can still hear important sounds and keep alert of your surroundings - while still enjoying that song or podcast. If you have any other questions for us, feel free to contact Samsung Support. Thank you for being a dedicated Samsung customer. - Debra

Q: will these work on a samsung tv

A: Yes it works but the problem is it mutes the TV so my wife cannot listen to the TV while I ware my earbud. So I only use them to listnen my Samsung phone. Hope they can invent one without using an optical connection.

Q: Do those earbuds have microphone feature that only pick up close-by voice, won't catch noises from far away? I have home meetings while my roommate can get very noisy from other room.

A: Aloha Mcdu, thanks for taking the time to ask us your question about the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE. Yes, the Galaxy Buds FE can help quiet background noise during calls. They feature Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) which blocks out some external sounds, making calls clearer. Additionally, the Galaxy Wearable app allows you to adjust the ANC intensity level to suit your surroundings. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Support. Thank you for being a staunch Samsung customer. - Debra

Q: Are these compatible with a Galaxy A20 phone?

A: Yes they will work with the Galaxy A20 phone.

Q: Will they block out snorin g?

A: Definitely, the noise canceling function worked 100x better than i expected

Q: Can I use the ambient mode with only one ear bud in or do I need to have both ear buds in for it to work??

A: It's great to hear from you, Pete. We always love getting the opportunity to assist you. To use Ambient mode on Samsung earbuds, you typically need to have both earbuds in your ears; however, you can usually enable a setting to use Ambient sound with just one earbud by going into your phone's settings and enabling "Noise controls with one earbud" within the accessibility options on the Galaxy Wearable app. Tap Earbuds settings, and then tap Accessibility. Tap the switch next to Noise controls with one earbud. For any other questions or concerns, please be sure to reach out to us at Support. -Kelvin

Q: Are these good for small ears? Also, do these work with a onePlus phone? Thank you

A: I have small ears and am not a fan of earbuds as a general rule. The smallest size is still a pretty snug fit, but not entirely uncomfortable. I'd say they're the most comfy I've ever tried for earbuds.

    One issue

    These are great. They are comfortable and have a good charge. I use one at a time so I never have to go without. The only issue I have had is a bit unique: when I turn my car on, the bluetooth pairs with the car but if I remove my earbud, open the case to put the earbud in, the technology prioritizes my earbud as the "newest" device to connect to and disconnects from my car. After I have inserted the earbud and closed the case, the technology is smart enough to reconnect to the car, but it generally has interrupted the play and requires that I restart whatever I was listening to. Other than that, I never get ear fatigue which I used to on old earbuds. Connecting across multiple laptops and phone works really well. Low profile so I can get away with wearing at some jobs. Works with a lot of interference, I can wear through two walls and operate a microwave and there is no interference. Jogging for an hour, no issues.

    Samsung Buds FE Review

    These earbuds fit perfectly in the ear and stay in place even during workouts. The sound quality is clear with strong bass and crisp highs, and the noise cancellation works surprisingly well for the price. Battery life is great—I can go days without needing a recharge. They also pair instantly with my Samsung phone, and the touch controls are smooth and responsive. Overall, an amazing value and very comfortable for long use.

    Good for the price

    I’ve purchased multiple pairs of the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE, and overall I think they offer really solid value for the price. They’re one of the more affordable options in Samsung’s lineup, yet they still deliver clear sound, decent bass, and a comfortable fit that works well for everyday use. That said, the buds aren’t without issues. I’ve noticed occasional connectivity hiccups — sometimes one earbud drops out briefly or takes a moment to reconnect when switching between devices. It’s not a constant problem, but it does happen often enough to be noticeable. Even with those quirks, I’d still say the Galaxy Buds FE are worth it for what you pay. They give you most of the features you’d want in wireless earbuds without breaking the bank, and I’m satisfied overall with the performance relative to the price point.
