Hello, how are you? I am the original huh, click on the attention, more exciting content waiting for you!

Surprisingly, Samsung has never released a cheap headphone until now. But now, we finally have the new Samsung Galaxy Buds FE priced at $699.So, how does the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE compare to previous versions?

According to Samsung, their goal was to develop an affordable headset while retaining fan-favorite features such as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), ambient listening, and Bixby voice assistance.

While Samsung has always been known for its high-end features, they have compromised and simplified in many areas to fit this price point. Let's take a look at these changes.

Pros: semi-luxury features at an affordable price

Enjoying Samsung's active noise cancellation for $699 is a real surprise. The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE matches the performance of some of the company's highest-end headphones, including the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, and while its noise-canceling isn't quite as top-notch as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra or Sony WF-1000XM5, it's more than enough to suppress most unwanted noise.

I was amazed at how effectively this technology was able to cancel out common distractions in my home, such as the noise of the dishwasher and the sound of my wife's hands-free calls. Wearing these headphones outdoors can provide some peaceful listening experiences in public.

Surprisingly, an unsung feature of these headphones is the ambient mode. This transparency setting does an excellent job of capturing surrounding sounds for improved ambient awareness. You can also adjust the ambient listening settings on either headset or enable the feature during a call to hear yourself more clearly.

In addition, these headphones carry over all the other convenient features previously offered by Samsung's Galaxy Buds line. Automatic switching and easy pairing make switching between Galaxy devices a breeze.

Gaming mode reduces latency during mobile gaming and video viewing. Headset fit test helps users ensure they get the right skin-to-skin experience.

Pros: plenty of volume

To meet the low price, Samsung downgraded its audio configuration a bit, but it still performs very well. The default equalizer settings are very stable with full bass that can be overpowering at times.

Users can select one of five other equalizers in the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app: bass boost, clear, dynamic, soft, or treble boost. Of these, Clear provides the most balanced sound quality.

During drum and guitar riffs on the Blink-182, the headphones unleashed life-affirming volume and felt a strong bass effect thanks to the AKG-designed drivers. During chaotic hard rock productions, cymbals sound impressively crisp and well-produced.

A Tribe Called Quest's music maintains its elegant and lively vibe when switching to hip-hop. The jazz elements sound clear and sharp, and the overall sound performance is smooth, with powerful bass adding depth to the soundstage.

Pros: unique charging case in its class, long battery life

Upon charging, the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE was able to last for six hours with ANC mode on. Turning off noise cancellation extended playback time to eight and a half hours, apparently the longest battery life in Samsung's Galaxy Buds lineup. These battery life estimates are accurate, enabling me to use the device for a modest three days when needed.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE has a sleek and compact charging case and lasts between 21 and 30 hours, depending on how you use the headset. It's not the longest, but that's good enough considering its compact design.

This version looks almost indistinguishable from the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro case. The small frame made of plastic feels nice and sturdy and fits easily in your pocket. When you open the lid, the two headphone buds are presented in an aesthetically pleasing way and the small details are handled very well.

Cons: Looks aren't the most colorful Galaxy Buds on the market

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE features a minimalist design that looks more like an earlier version of the original Galaxy Buds. The headphones are available in two understated color options: graphite and white.

One might mistake the protruding touch panel for a physical button, as it does have that appearance. Fortunately, it responds sharply to click and long-press gestures. This touch panel supports a full suite of media controls, including call management, digital assistant activation, playback, voice activation, and volume adjustment.

One of the only notable details is a rubber wing on each headphone bud to provide optimal comfort and stability.

Cons: Many iconic Samsung features are missing

Samsung seems to expect users to believe that the Galaxy Buds FE offers many high-end features at an unbeatable price. However, this is not entirely accurate. Some of the major omissions include 360 Reality for spatial audio, Conversation Mode, Voice Detection, and wireless charging.

The popular neck-stretch mode is also no longer supported, so you won't receive alerts about poor listening posture. Another minus is the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE's IP rating (IPX2), which is slightly less sweat- and water-resistant than the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (IPX7).

High-end features are now limited to ANC and sound customization, which are common in many competitors in the same price range.

Summary

The Samsung Galaxy Buds FE aren't the low-cost, full-featured alternative that most consumers think they are, but if you're an owner of a Galaxy device, there are plenty of benefits that can make it worth your while to own them.

Powerful noise cancellation is a huge selling point, along with customizable ambient listening settings and long battery life. Call quality and control also perform well. The product presents all of Samsung's key features in a more attractive package.

Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE is a compelling attempt to offer more features for users looking for cheap noise headphones.
