Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 FE were released earlier this month for $149.99. The company hasn’t yet knocked down the price, but it’s including a free Galaxy SmartTag 2 at Amazon. The bundle saves you $30 and is available until September 28th. Samsung says both items may ship separately, so don’t worry if you receive one before the other. We haven’t tested the earbuds yet, but they’re in the same family as Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, which we reviewed very highly when they were released last year.
The Galaxy Buds 3 FE are Samsung’s latest pair of noise-canceling true wireless earbuds. The company says they have a bass-forward sound, last up to six hours with ANC enabled, and offer a total of 24 hours of listening time including its battery case. Turning noise cancellation off will bump those numbers up to eight-and-a-half and 30 hours respectively. The earbuds have an IPx4 rating, which means they’re resistant to damage from sweat or splashes of water, though Samsung recommends drying the earbuds and your hands thoroughly if they’re wet.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, the earbuds support an easy pairing mode, and allow you to switch between your phone and a Galaxy Tablet or Galaxy Book easily. The earbuds will connect to any other device via Bluetooth. You can use the earbuds to access Google Gemini hands free if you have a supported device, and get real-time translations via Samsung’s Galaxy AI.
Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag2 is a Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband tracker that allows you to locate your lost item using Samsung’s SmartThings Find app. It’s only compatible with Galaxy devices, so be mindful if you use an iPhone. Samsung says its tracker can last up to one and a half years per charge, and has an IP67 rating, which means it should be able to handle being fully submerged under water without being damaged. Its built-in loop makes it easy to attach to a backpack or other item using a carabiner if you don’t want to keep it in an inside pocket.
