Score: 71/100
Samsung Galaxy Buds FE
Score: 79/100Rankings
Samsung Galaxy Buds FE deliver strong ANC and a comfortable wing-tip fit while offering up to 30 hours of total playback at a budget price. Their limited IPX2 rating, lack of wireless charging, and missing physical volume controls are notable trade-offs. Ideal for Samsung users who value ecosystem features and solid battery life over premium durability.
The Jabra Elite 65t are true-wireless earbuds with solid call performance, IP55 resistance and app-driven EQ customization. Their battery life is short and they lack wireless charging, limiting all-day use. Best for active users who need reliable calls and a budget-friendly price.

Professional reviewers commend the Elite 65t for its lightweight, breathable build, robust four-mic call system, and IP55/56 durability, noting a solid Bluetooth 5.0 connection and good value for the price. However, they point out comfort limitations for long wear, a modest five-hour battery, and the absence of active noise cancellation, which places it behind newer models like the Elite 75t.
Everyday users appreciate the reliable connection, clear calls, and secure fit for workouts, as well as the ability to tweak sound via the app. Common complaints revolve around discomfort during prolonged use, short battery life, and occasional pairing hiccups in obstructed environments.
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.
