Should you buy it?
Buy the Galaxy Buds3 FE if you have a Galaxy phone and want strong noise canceling for about $100: Samsung lists them at $99.99 (Oct 8, 2026). With a good seal, one lab measured 86% noise reduction with ANC on, more than the Buds3 Pro's 76%. Skip them for long flights, because they lasted 4 h 26 min per charge with ANC on in the same lab's test. Samsung's Seamless Codec, auto-switching and Live Translate need a recent Galaxy phone, and the $79 Ear (3a) at Nothing's US store (Oct 8, 2026) costs less.
Galaxy phone owners who want strong ANC on a budget.
People who need multipoint, wireless charging or long battery life.
