- A: AnswerGreetings, 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: QuestionAre these compatible with a Galaxy A20 phone?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes they will work with the Galaxy A20 phone.Answered by PrestonB
- A: AnswerIt'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: QuestionAre these good for small ears? Also, do these work with a onePlus phone? Thank you(4 answers)
A: AnswerI 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.Answered by abbynoll75

Impressive Successor to the Galaxy Buds Plus
I recently upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE from the Galaxy Buds Plus, and I must say, I'm pleasantly surprised by the improvements. While I had a great experience with my old earbuds, the FE version has managed to come close to being a worthy replacement. The audio quality on the Galaxy Buds FE is exceptional. The sound is clear, with a well-balanced mix of bass and treble. Whether I'm listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls, the earbuds deliver a rich and immersive experience. The design of the Galaxy Buds FE is sleek and comfortable. They fit snugly in my ears without causing any discomfort, even during extended use. The matte finish gives them a premium look, and the compact size makes them easy to carry around. Battery life is a standout feature. I appreciate that I can use them for an extended period without worrying about constant recharging. The charging case provides additional juice, making them ideal for long trips or daily commutes. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive. I can easily play/pause music, adjust the volume, or answer calls with a simple tap. The learning curve is minimal, and the controls add to the overall convenience. The Bluetooth connectivity is reliable, and pairing with my devices is seamless. I haven't experienced any dropouts or connectivity issues, which is crucial for a smooth user experience. Considering the features offered, the Galaxy Buds FE are reasonably priced. They provide excellent value for money, making them a solid choice for those looking for quality wireless earbuds without breaking the bank. The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE has successfully maintained the high standard set by its predecessor, the Galaxy Buds Plus. With impressive sound quality, comfortable design, and reliable performance, these earbuds are a commendable upgrade. While they may not be a drastic departure from the previous model, the subtle improvements make them a worthy investment for anyone needing reliable and high-quality wireless earbuds.

More bass than you could imagine!
The Galaxy Buds FE: A Budget-Friendly Audiophile's Compromise While the Galaxy Buds FE offer a decent audio experience for the average listener, audiophiles may find them lacking in certain areas. Pros: * Comfortable Fit: The earbuds are lightweight and comfortable, making them suitable for long listening sessions. * Decent Sound Quality: The sound quality is decent for the price range, with clear highs and mids. However, the bass can be a bit lacking, especially for those who prefer a more bass-heavy sound signature. * Noise Cancellation: The noise cancellation feature is effective at blocking out ambient noise, but it's not as powerful as higher-end models. Cons: * Limited Soundstage: The soundstage is somewhat narrow, limiting the overall immersion. * Average Build Quality: While the build quality is acceptable for the price, it doesn't feel as premium as other Samsung earbuds. * Battery Life: The battery life is decent, but it could be better, especially for those who use the earbuds for long hours. Overall: The Galaxy Buds FE are a good option for casual listeners who want a decent pair of wireless earbuds at an affordable price. However, audiophiles who demand high-quality sound and immersive experiences may want to consider higher-end models.

Best Earbuds on the Market
These have everything I was looking for in a new eat of earbuds! Ambient Mode that helps with my Audio Processing Disorder, (THE BEST) Noise Canceling, sleek and sturdy design with interchangeable ear tips, and half the price of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. Not to mention charging is fast and lasts for hours!
