    *purchased used* Some features do no work correctly and came without the middle size tips. Earbuds do not work for phone calls as they should and periodically disconnect and reconnect.

    The earbuds themselves work fine, but it’s clear that nobody actually looked at, let alone refurbished, anything, with ear wax on one of the tips and the case having some hair on it. Lots of accessories were also missing, such as the wing tips and 2 of the tip sizes only having one tip. Best Buy aside, how does that even happen? How do you lose only one of each tip and then have the gall to return it while also not having the decency to wipe off your ear wax?

    Can't give a true rating because they were sent with the wrong ear pieces and the store would not replace them but instead said we had to wait another week for a new refurbished pair. So we canceled

    These were refurbished so I knew they were not new. However, when I opened the box. There were none of the silicon earpieces which are needed for the earbuds to stay in your ears. They were useless to me. I returned them to the store right away and they were very helpful getting me a new pair of different headphones.

    be very wary of "certified refurbished"

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really did not expect near perfect condition when I purchased these. I did expect much more than what I got! these came with no ear inserts at all and the wings were also not included. I was able to listen to them by using some ear inserts I have from other earbuds and they did sound pretty good! I was able to pair them easily with my samsung devices but I could not pair them with my current android 14 phone. I could not get them to go into pairing mode by simultaneously touching both buds to get the alternating red and green led flashing. I was able to return them for a refund. I would caution you to expect a less than satisfactory purchase experience unless you are only buying them to replace one you already have that has stopped working.

    Galaxy FE buds... good. Refurbished... not so much

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These were good earbuds for the week that they functioned. After 10 days, one bud would no longer charge. I assume I should have paid full retail for this product instead. I have enjoyed other Samsung earbuds and liked these better than a lower-end JBL set I have tried. So, overall I recommend this product.

    I like these GalaxyBuds FE they fit comfortably and don't fall out during workouts. These headphones sound good and connect easily to my Galaxy S23. The downfall is the physical play/pause button it's very stiff and not responsive. I prefer being able to gently tap or double tap my earbuds to play/pause skip like you can on most other GalaxyBuds.

    Overall awesome

    Definitely the best ear buds i have ever had, the noise canceling is nice but the ambient mode is my favorite part, calls go really good too, apparently im a little quiet on them but not bad at all. And they fit comfortably without falling out.
