Score: 78/100Rankings
Samsung Galaxy Buds FE deliver strong ANC, up to 8.5 hours of playback and fast 5-minute quick charging, plus seamless Samsung ecosystem features. Their drawbacks include modest IPX2 water resistance, no wireless charging, and a slippery case. Ideal for Samsung phone owners seeking affordable ANC earbuds.
Beats Fit Pro are true-wireless earbuds offering a secure wing-tip fit, strong ANC and Spatial Audio, ideal for active iPhone users.

Professional reviewers commend the Beats Fit Pro for its secure wingtip fit, strong ANC, and H1-driven Apple ecosystem features, noting its durability and bass-forward sound that suits active listeners. However, they point out ergonomic bulk, average mic performance, lack of multi-device pairing, and modest battery life as drawbacks.
Everyday users largely appreciate the secure fit during workouts, the robust build, and the convenient iPhone integration, while recurring concerns focus on fit comfort for smaller ears, the dominant bass response, and occasional microphone issues.
“won't fall out even during intense activity”
Professional reviewers praise the Galaxy Buds FE for their strong ANC that cuts low-frequency noise, comfortable winged fit, solid battery life, and seamless Samsung ecosystem features like Auto Switch and the SSC codec. Criticisms focus on the absence of physical volume controls, a slippery glossy case, limited water resistance (IPX2), and the lack of multi-device pairing or wireless charging.
Everyday users echo the experts, highlighting the earbuds' comfort, bass-forward sound, and portability as major positives. Recurring complaints revolve around the glossy case slipping, the missing volume slider on the touch interface, and occasional pressure from the wing tips during long listening sessions.
