Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds 3 are nice and all, but that open-ear design and $180 price tag isn’t for everybody. If you prefer a pair of buds with a more traditional in-ear design that costs significantly less, the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE are still a good buy and are available for just $61.99 ($38 off) at Woot. That’s their best price yet and a deal that’ll last until September 14th at 12:59AM ET or while supplies last.
The wireless earbuds deliver an excellent set of features for their price. Their active noise cancellation particularly impressed us, but the buds also offer reliable performance and good sound quality. Plus, unlike the open-style Galaxy Buds 3, they feature a wing tip design that could provide for a more secure fit depending on your ear shape. The Galaxy Buds 3 offer far more robust water resistance as well as wireless charging, and the Galaxy Buds FE can’t rival the Pro models in noise cancellation and sound. But if you’re embedded in Samsung’s ecosystem and prioritize price, you probably won’t mind these tradeoffs.
Samsung Galaxy Buds FE
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE offer very good sound and noise cancellation for the money. They also feature a return of the wing tip design from the older Galaxy Buds Plus — a fit some may prefer. Read our review.
