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.
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
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
A: It's an actual button. It can play/pause music, change songs, and answer calls using the button.
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.

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.

Punches above it's weight for budget buds
I got these on sale for around 50-60 bucks. I had the original pair of galaxy buds, and while they did have some connection issues, they sounded decent enough and were very comfortable to wear. For better or worse, the Galaxy Buds FE continue that tradition. They sound pretty good (not as good as my in ears or my AirPods Pro 2, but very good for the 50$ I paid). The Active Noise Cancellation is surprisingly not terrible - it's actually not even that bad. The comfort of these earbuds is vey nice. Galaxy just seem to really have a handle on how to design comfortable ear buds. The only issue I had again with these that I've had with other Galaxy buds is connection issues. I've used them on iPhones/Galaxy Phones/my PC/my Mac/my Apple Watch. They are fine for a bit and then they start getting out of sync with one another. It's a problem I've literally never had on my Airpods from the very first generation (unless of course you are outside your house and pushing the range of the AirPods). If you are just sitting and reading and not doing much, the connection is fairly stable. The minute you start walking around is when the connection gets a bit dicey. It's really a shame because other than that I really like these headphones. My one other nitpick is the lack of wireless charging. Ive found that I generally wireless charge my earbuds. Even the first gen Galaxy Buds had wireless charging. Like a watch, it's just a very convenient way to charge ear buds. They don't take long and you don't have to worry about looking for cables (especially with many phones supporting reverse wireless charging). With earbuds, I think wireless charging is pretty important. Of course if you don't wireless charge to begin with, this is a non issue. I would recommend these if they are on sale. I wouldn't pay 100$ for these, but if you could pick these up for under 75$, I think you will be relatively happy with your purchase. If you intend to use these to work out, I wouldn't purchase these. The connection just isn't stable enough on a phone or a galaxy watch/apple watch (ive tried both). It will drive you nuts during your workout.
