Operating Your Galaxy Buds FE

Touch Controls

The Galaxy Buds FE feature intuitive touch controls on the outer surface of each earbud.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)

The Active Noise Cancellation feature minimizes distracting background sounds, allowing you to focus on your audio.

• To toggle ANC or Ambient Sound mode, touch and hold the earbud.
• You can customize this action and other sound settings through the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected device.

Auto Switch Feature

The Auto Switch feature allows your Galaxy Buds FE to seamlessly connect to the device you are currently using within your Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.

Call Clarity

Cleaning Your Earbuds

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and hygiene.

• Remove eartips and wingtips periodically and clean them with a mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching.
• Ensure charging contacts on both earbuds and case are clean and free of debris.

The Galaxy Buds FE are water resistant. This means they can withstand splashes, sweat, and light rain. However, they are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water or used during activities like swimming or showering.
