  Review of my 1-week ownership. For reference, I'm using these on the Samsung Galaxy S21.

  • This is THE standard earphones for Android, much like how the Airpods are THE standard for Apple - it just works like you anticipate them to.
  • The Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) feature works really well, though it needs a proper seal and that may mean pushing these into the canal a little deeper than expected. Can also be toggled off or to the in-between "Aware" mode.
  • The shape of the replaceable rubber eartips are very similar to those cheap, wired earphones from Kmart - might be worth trying those on before getting the Galaxy Buds FE.
  • The replaceable wing tips are meant to reach the fold of the ear (the Cymba Concha, I think) and it falls a little short for me, YMMV.
  • For voice calls, it nice and clear for the person listening in on the other end - noticed no irregularities.
  • Auto-pause when taking out both buds works as intended, but it may not auto-play when inserting these back in (or maybe that's my modified Spotify app just playing up).
  • Being able to play the last song without having to open the phone is rather nice. This is done by taking the buds out of the case, inserting these into the ears and touching the left button to automatically play the last song (on Spotify, in my case).
  • It works too well in an office environment - the ANC will block out the Air Con hum but it'll also block out people speaking too (you decide if it's good or bad).
  • The sound itself - I'm not an Audiophile, so go look at Rtings or something. That said, these do not sound tinny or lacking whatsoever.
  • Bonus - the case opens up like a compact mirror - or a Samsung Galaxy Flip.

  Overall, I'm really liking these and it's a no-brainer at this price.

    How are they in quite windy conditions, like on a bike or windy beach?

      I've had these for about a week and also ride a bike. When it comes to wind noise, ANC greatly subdues it, but you can still hear wind rustle. It's unfortunate there is no wind-cut setting, as there is on some buds. Still not a deal breaker.

      As silverrat says, the ANC works very well. So well in fact that in some places I prefer to switch it off (without ambient on) as it's that isolating from surroundings.

      Key improvements for me over my previous Jabra Elite 75t buds: vastly better ANC, can use either bud by itself, better fit, improved sound quality.

      For a Samsung product the app is surprisingly gimmick-free too. Great value at this price.

    Have this on YT Music, so must be the buds. Otherwise review is spot on.

    I have 2 questions, hopefully someone would have the answer to them,

    1. How many devices can we pair with simultaneously? Say if they are paired with the phone and can we pair them with the laptop or do we need to disconnect/unpair with the phone first?

    2. How's battery life looking?

      I have also had for about a week. I have been switching between laptop and phone by going into their respective Bluetooth menu and hitting connect, it immediately swaps over without the repairing process. If a phone call comes in it will automatically swap back from PC to phone. Battery - they last a full work day easily, and the case will charge them maybe 3 times before it needs charging.
      edit - I shouldve said I've been popping them in the case during lunch etc so the battery life claim might be a bit wrong.

  Ended up price matching with officeworks. Thanks OP.

  I've owned a lot of expensive earbuds from Sony, Sennheiser and LG. These are awesome, really happy with fit and sound quality.
