There are plenty of other Galaxy Buds 3 features available on the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, including Crystal Clear Call technology, which allows you to use a pre-trained machine learning model to offer enhanced voice pick-up and background noise. Auto Switch is also here, making it easier to switch your Galaxy Buds 3 FE from your smartphone, to tablet, or to your laptop.

This is a new pair of earbuds in 2025, so of course, AI is part of the story. Galaxy Buds 3 FE do include Gemini for conversational AI assistance, as well as Galaxy AI Interpreter features for real-time interpreter and Live Translate for phone calls.

Finally, Find My Buds is also available on the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, making it easier than ever to find your earbuds if you do happen to lose them. And the Galaxy Buds 3 FE are IP54, meaning you can wear these to the gym, or out in the weather, and not worry about them getting damaged.
